Takata recall... I called the dealer about the recall. The service department said there is no replacement available at the time, GM will call when there is a replacement. What do we do in the mean time" do we wait until something happens and then sue GM" I am curious because I don't want a loved one getting hurt or killed before the airbag is replaced.

Takata recall: I am deeply concerned that there is an active recall for my truck that neither Chevrolet, or takata is concerned about. The safety of my wife and infant son could be at risk due to a known defect in the airbags, and apparently that is alright with Chevrolet and takata, because both companies are pointing the finger at each other and are not worried about the safety of their consumers! weisner Chevrolet in huntsville, tx told me this morning that they know about the recall, but cannot do anything about it. This is unacceptable! I want to be able to know that my young family and I are safe in the very expensive vehicle that I purchased from Chevrolet, and am very upset with the lack of give a [xxx] that either company is displaying about the fact that my family is currently not safe in one of their vehicles.

Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). My air bag light has continued to flash on and off "service air bag" since August 2015 @ 34,147 miles. Vehicle was purchased and serviced previously by kuni Chevrolet sacramento ca. They state there is no record of my vehicle, but they continue to send me mailer request service other than the outstanding recall# [xxx]: also filed a complaint with General Motors case #[xxx] where as [xxx] has stated General Motors has no known issues with air bags. I have contacted kuni Chevrolet several times requested a phone call from both service manger and general manage which continues to be ignored. I understand that this should have been resolved in a reasonable link of time. It has been going on for years and they are not taking responsibility. My question to you is what are my options? thank you [xxx]12/04/2017

Takata recall I have pursued through the Chevrolet dealerships for over a year a remedy to the airbag recall. My understanding is that they were to provide a free repair or replacement of the airbag inflators. Every time I have called to get a repair scheduled, they have either told me that the repairs are not available, or that the parts aren't currently available, and they will call me when they are. Every time I follow up on that call, they seem to not have my information. I just read something online saying that they were supposed to have a final decision from the NHTSA in August 2017 reference my vehicle and others. It is now November, I received another recall notice in the mail recently, and still the Chevrolet dealerships are not cooperating in the repair process.
