Takata recall my complaint is simply that the front passenger seat of my car is useless because there has not been a fix for the recall and no one can sit in the seat. This has had a very big affect on our family and affects our ability to sell the car too (for what is was worth...who would buy it?) this has been going on too long. We have been patient and now we are really upset that no one has fixed it.

Takata recall. I understand there are millions of airbags to be replaced. However it's been over 6 months since receiving a recall on my passenger-side airbag inflator, and they still haven't got the parts to replace it. I paid $18,000 for the car and would like to use the passenger seat. I realize it's lower priority than driver-side airbags, but it's still important. Please ask Pontiac/GMC and takata to complete the recall in a timely manner. Thank you.

Takata recall: Received recall 150826 (15826) (NHTSA: 16V340) in July 2016. It is now end of December and no resolution has been advised. Warned not to occupy front passenger seat which is unreasonable since the car is used for family trips and will often have passenger(s). So far no evidence of malfunction has occurred but the potential is frightening. Response time is unsatisfactory and needs to be resolved immediately!
