Takata recall. Myself, my family, friends, and associates have been exposed to the takata inflator which could have caused serious physical injury or death. It is a ticking time bomb as I continue to drive the vehicle and GM will not replace it.

Vehicle displayed warning indicator in dash that air bags were not armed when vehicle was moving. Vehicle was taken to a GM dealership and they determined that the arming switch for the air bag system is located in the driver's side "fixed" end of the driver's seat belt and was defective. I would like to know if this vehicle or other GM models have had other reports of the same problem. I assume that all their vehicles operate with the same indication system and I read recently that they are currently having similar problems on some other model vehicles. I just wanted to know if this is a isolated incident with my vehicle or a potential problem for all of this model vehicle.
