I am extremely uncomfortable continuing to drive my vehicle knowing there is a recall on the airbag that may cause extreme harm to passengers and there is no solution. I cannot drive my vehicle knowing the safety features that I assumed are in place are lacking. I am uncomfortable with GMs lack of solution at this point. What are my options?

There is a recall for our this vehicle that was initiated in May because our airbag inflator may explode causing death or serious injury. We have yet to be provided with a fix, and have been denied a loaner vehicle because the dealerships don't want to part with their limited # of loaners for an undetermined amount of time. We are being told to continue driving around ourselves and our young children and one dealership told us "you probably wouldn't die". This is alarming that they are not providing an immediate fix, even at greater cost to the company, and are rolling the dice on safety.

Spouse is scared to death to drive this vehicle because of the death possibility. Deal can not do repairs without parts. GM doesn't have the replacement parts. Dealer will not issue a loan car during the waiting for part process. No one can tell me an approximate repair date. So i have a time bomb air bag sitting in my garage not being driven. What's my options?

I received notification back on May 10th of a Takata Airbag recall for my car via email from Carfax and GM. I have filed a complaint on www.carcomplaints.com, NHTSA, and have contacted the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from 3 different times. I have also contacted GM customer service and voiced my concern for a safety issue not having a remedy and we are already a month and a half into the recall. I was informed from GM customer service that if "I haven't heard anything within a couple of months, to call back." I also asked if it was possible to get a rental car until a remedy can become available. I was informed they would escalate that request and if I haven't heard anything back in a week, to call them back. That was yesterday, June 23rd, 2023. This recall has been confirmed for my vehicle by the dealership and by GM customer service.

Unknown- I received an email from carfax alerting me there was a takata airbag recall on my car. When I called the dealership to get more information, they said at that time, there was no resolution but should have one May 24th. Today is 05/27/2023 and there is still currently no resolution. There have already been deaths and injuries resulting from this airbag issue for other makes and models. I don't feel safe knowing there could be an issue with the airbags. I am wondering how soon before there is a resolution and can rental cars be covered under warranty until repairs are made?

The air bag light stays on & continually beeps. The manual says there's something wrong with the airbag system. Although I see numerous complaints there's no recalls. I guess Chevrolet is waiting for a fatality before they react to this problem. This happen when the vehicle is in motion & stationary.
