An airbag warning light has come on and has been on for almost a year showing a faulty airbag and two calls with certified GMC dealership to remedy the airbag(s) to make for a safe ride have gone uncompleted staying no resolution has been made. This is an ongoing safety recall that should be remedied by GM for public safety and to this point has refused to do any repair/replacement. It is well documented that the airbag manufacturer is stating that there is a high risk of deterioration of the airbag and sudden deployment resulting in serious injury to death.

Takata recall- when I went to my local Chevrolet dealership as stated on my recall notice I was informed that the part is still unavailable! what does it take for the manufacturer (takata) of these defective components that are killing people to make these replacement parts available" I have a vehicle that I'm making payments on that I can't drive because of the potential of getting hurt or killed by the components that are installed to protect you! when is the auto manufacturer going to make this manufacturer accountable? when is our government going to make this manufacturer accountable? we've known about this defect since 2015-2016 and still there are thousands or millions of vehicles that are ticking time bombs that no one is taking seriously until after the fact you know when someone gets killed. We need help that is coming way to slow because of the money involved in correcting this deadly problem. Why don't we make this manufacturer provide everyone that has a vehicle under this recall provide us with a rental vehicle so we don't have to play russian roulette with our lives! why don't we make the manufacturer give us fair market value for our vehicles so we can purchase a safer vehicle" I'm sick and tiered of being told there's no replacement part available yet! we need help, and help right now not later as it already has been!!!!
