There are two recalls on our call for the SRS and airbags but when we brought it in there were no parts available, so they are unable to fix the problem. It is our only car so we just have to keep driving it with these potential dangers to ourselves and other drivers on the road.

Takata recall. GM has told me for the past 2 years, that the parts to do this recall are "not available." The last emails I have had with GM corporate, they told me "the parts and the repair have not been released yet." On a two year recall. Yet they do continue to send me cards in the mail telling me to take it to the dealer ship to be repaired. I think a two year time frame is more than enough time to have it repaired, specially when there are reported 8.8 million recalls already done.

Takata recall my first call to Pontiac 1-800-762-2737 was on July 14, 2016 after I took my car to raceway Chevrolet for the takata recall. When they finished, the air bag cover was up about 3 inches from the dash board, I got the clerk to come see. She said it should not be like that and got the mechanic. He started pushing down on the air bag cover trying to make it go down, I told him that pushing down on the airbag like that was not safe and it might explode out. It didn't go down, he pulled out the glove compartment and went in from the bottom and tried, it was still up. He said he had to take it back in the shop for about 15 minutes, after 30minutes I was given my keys, the airbag cover was still up a little I started the car and the airbag light came on, I told clerk. They did nothing. This is a serious safety issue to me a Pontiac representative called me on August 19, 2016 raceway Chevrolet for a three way call with Mr. Linden, raceway Chevrolet manager, Mr. Linden told the Pontiac representative that he would give me a free 30 minute courtesy check on Monday August 22, 2016. On Monday August 22, 2016, I took my car back to raceway Chevrolet, in hartsville SC Mr. Lindon came and asked for my keys and said that he was going to get the hand held car reader and it won't be long. He returned in 10 minutes and we went to his office and started telling me about used car that could have been in an accident and that could cause the airbag light to come after the recall part was replaced. He said that it would cost 15,000 to replace the airbag in my car and $199 to run a full check. I don't have that kind of money. He told me that if I had an accident that my airbags would not deploy. Every time I get in my car and see the airbag light on, the airbag cover up and being told the airbags wont deploy is unsafe and unfair after a recall.

11/15 my airbag light came on I went to the dealer and was advised there was a recall and the light means either the airbag wont deploy in a crash or deploy unexpectly. Grand told me to wait until I recieve a notice from GM and then call to make appt. I recieved notice, dealer repaced recall part (the brains) but the light was still on. I was then told there was a 2nd recall and that would fix the problem but again I had to wait til I recieved notice. On 2/19/16 I had todd wenzel repair the airbag problem but the light remained on. I was charged $60 to be told the 2 recalls had not fix the problem. I am being ask to pay $1300 to fix my airbag. The recalled parts are not fixing the airbags I should not be asked to pay after 2 recalls. The dealers are making money on this problem. Please look in to the problem.. enclosed is the invoice.

My supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control module (ECM) light is on. I had it evaluated at my local dealership. They stated that there was a small wire that was most likely broken inside the system. After further online investigation I have found that this a problem on the 2003 -2004 Toyota matrix also which is a sister vehicle to the Pontiac Vibe. I don't understand why a recall was made for the Toyota and not the Pontiac also. I was told by the dealership that because of this issue my air bag may or may deploy in an accident. If this is a defective system I think our vehicles should have been included also. I need to know why they were not.

Takata air bags recall - I have been mailed several letters over the past two years regarding the original recall on the air bags. Each time I have received this letter, I have called the dealer where I purchased the vehicle for the GM recall 13030 recall. Every time I have called I am told they do not have the recalled part to fix it and they don't know when they will get it. Today I received another recall letter for GM recall 14877, which also mentioned the 13030 recall. Again, I called my local dealer who told me the first recall part is not available and they don't know when it will be available but it is very dangerous and not to have anyone sit in the front passenger seat. Now I read it is possible the driver's side airbag may have the same danger - I have waited to remedy this recall for two years! my dealer ordered the part for the 14677 recall. My question/complaint is: What happens to the airbag if they damage the already recalled airbag in the process of fixing this second recall. Am I unsafe driving my car with this airbag recall possibly on the driver's side also" what is my recourse in driving what I now consider an unsafe vehicle" this is completely unacceptable.
