"takata recall" it is unacceptable that I cannot get my airbags replaced under this recall. GM needs to make this right even if it means using airbags from a different manufacturer.

Takata recall. It's been over a year and the parts according to my dealer ship have still not been made available. This has killed people my husband is driving a truck that is not safe. We cannot afford another car payment. This needs to be fixed. Why has GM not made the parts available for the truck. At least have it to where the old airbags that are in them be disconnected to they won't deploy and potentially kill someone else.
