Air bag recall- stated(Direct Quote from notice): -??An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants-?? With such recall the safety and lives of myself and passengers are at risk every time the vehicle is driven. Safety recall letter/notice has a date of June 2023, sent in a first class mail envelope with no postmark date. This letter was not received until until Saturday July 1st 2023. During the time from recall issue (May 10,2023) my family and I were at risk of death or serious injury everyday. This recall has been confirmed for our VIN number by GM, our dealership, and this website. There is no remedy(repair part) at this time and there is no timeline for it. GM is not providing a safe option for my family to be able to do our daily tasks. As well as the ability to attend a funeral out of state for a family patriarch without personal costs for their negligence in safety. Our dealership is at the mercy of GM to be able to provide a vehicle without a safety recall. This has put an undue hardship and burden on my family.

I received a safety recall letter today for this vehicle stating that if not repaired, it could result in the death of the vehicle occupants-?? my wife and 3 daughters use this car daily for transportation and after contacting Chevrolet customer service and waiting on the phone for over 40min and speaking with multiple people, all they could tell me is they don-??t know when they-??ll be able to repair the vehicle and they have no other remedies available (replacement, reimbursement, rental, etc-??). This is incredibly concerning as we don-??t have another option right now, so according to GM, my only options are to risk the lives of my entire family every day for some indeterminate amount of time or I need to pay for a new vehicle until or unless GM eventually fixes the issue, or I just need to go without a vehicle now-?? This is completely unacceptable and needs attention immediately. I understand needing to wait or not know a timeline for minor recalls or non-life threatening issues, but it states right in the recall that it can result in death to the vehicle occupants (not even just the driver-??). I need help ASAP and GM is unwilling to provide it.

In these vehicles, the front-driver airbag inflator may contain a supplier manufacturing defect that may result in inflator rupture during deployment. Safety Risk An in??'ator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. I reached out to GM to see what options I had/if it's safe for me to drive the car and the rep I spoke with told me the car is NOT safe to drive and if the airbag deploys it could cause death. I asked when would a fix be available and she said there isn't a fix and we don't know when one will be available. I called my local dealerships to see if they had any ideas as to what I should do and they said they don't have any suggestions it could be 6 months or more until they have parts in to fix your car. My wife and I both have jobs in separate directions and need two cars so we can get to work. I asked if they could provide us with a rental car since they deemed my car unsafe and said I could die driving and the agent I spoke with said GM wont provide us a car but she will escalate my case and i will here from someone in 4 days with an update. well here is 4 days and i get a call saying no one has picked up my case and I probably wont here anything until next week. I am very concerned for my safety and anyone who owns a car with this issue.

Campaign ID is 23V334. I received recall letter from GM but parts are not available and letter does not state when they will be available. Vehicle has not been driven since read of recall in media in May. Recall stated that rupture of airbag could result in death which with that risk effectively prevents vehicle from being driven. Unacceptable.
