REMEDY FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS TAKEN WAY TOO LONG BECAUSE OF GM FIGHTING IT. IT IS VERY UNSETTLING AND UNSAFE FEELING EVERYTIME I DRIVE MY AFFECTED VEHICLE. PLEASE REMEDY SOON!

I SAW ON TV THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIRBAG. I CALLED 866-982-2339. TO SEE WHEN THEY COULD REPAIR. REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO CHECK WITH NH TSH. SO I AM FILING A COMPLAINT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THEY WANT TO HELP ME. THEY GAVE ME THE RUN-AROUND THEY CUT ME OFF FOUR TIMES. I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE FOR OVER AN HOUR WITH NO SUCCESS.

WAITING ON FOLLOWUP TO THIS RECALL SINCE 2016 BUT THE MANUFACTURER DOESN'T HAVE A REMEDY YET FOR THIS AIRBAGS THAT POSE A SAFETY RISK OF BURSTING OVERTIME. MY VEHICLE IS MY DAILY DRIVER SO I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS. I SAW IN THE NEWS ABOUT THIS TODAY SO AM FOLLOWING UP ON THE RECALLS.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I HAVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT THE DEALER STATES THAT GM SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAGS AND REFUSED TO REPLACE THEM! I'VE WRITTEN TO GM AND RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM SOMEONE FROM "CUSTOMER SERVICE" WHO TOLD ME THAT CADILLAC SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AIR BAGS. IN THE MEANTIME MY CAR HAS A RECALL WHICH HAS REFLECTED IN SUCH A LOW TRADE IN VALUE THAT I CAN'T EVEN SELL MY CAR. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON THAT SAYS TO "SERVICE AIR BAGS" AND CADILLAC WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $1300 TO "SERVICE" THE AIR BAGS THEY WON'T REPLACE. SINCE WE LIVE IN FLORIDA, WHERE IT'S HOT AND HUMID, THE CONDITIONS MAKE IT EVEN MORE LIKELY THAT THE PROPELLANT CAN DEGRADE AND IF DEPLOYED CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. AND SINCE BOTH MY HUSBAND AND I ARE ELDERLY AND DISABLED, THIS CAUSES EVEN MORE CONCERNS.

NOTHING HAPPENED I WANT THIS FIXED BEFORE IT DOES

TAKATA RECALL. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS RECALL? MY 2008 CADILLAC IS IN LIMBO AS GM DRAGS ITS FEET WITH PETITIONS TO AVOID THE WHOLE ISSUE. TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE, I HAVE IMPORTED THIS VEHICLE INTO CANADA AND CAN NOT REGISTER OR LEGALLY DRIVE IT UNTIL ALL OF THE RECALLS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. DOES ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY HAVE ANY POWER TO MAKE AN AUTO MANUFACTURER COMPLY WITH A RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER?THIS ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS WITH NO RESOLUTION AS YET. FRUSTRATING AND VERY DISAPPOINTING.

TAKATA RECALL: MY 2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE WAS RUNNING IN PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY. MY SON GOT OUT OF THE CAR FIRMLY CLOSED THE DOOR AND BOTH SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR NOW AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED GUARANTY CHEVROLET IN SANTA ANA CA AND TUSTIN CADILLAC TO HAVE MY TAKATA AIR BAG REPLCED AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE PARTS.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN CAN I EXPECT A RESOLUTION TO THIS RECALL? THANKS!
