I RECENTLY TOOK MY VIBE IN FOR AN AIR BAG RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE PASSAGER SIDE AIR BAG MODULE BUT DID NOTHING WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE. I'VE HAD AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ON FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND I THOUGHT THIS WOULD ALSO BE FIXED. THEY INFORMED ME IT WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IF THE PASSAGER SIDE AIR BAGS ARE FAULTY CAN CAN CAUSE BODILY HARM OR EVEN DEATH WHY WOULD THE DRIVERSIDE AIR BAG BE ANY DIFFERENT. I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE ALSO BEEN REPLACED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHY IT WASN'T OR AT LEAST THE WARNING LIGHT FIXED.

I HAD A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY CAR A FEW YEARS AGO. I HAD IT REPLACED WITH THE SAME, BUT NEWER PART. I THEN RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTIFICATION AND CALLED IN TO GET IT FIXED, BUT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I RECEIVED TWO OR THREE MORE NOTICES AND CALLED FOR THE FIX, BUT THE PART WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. TODAY, ABOUT A YEAR OR SO LATER, I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE, MADE ANOTHER CALL, AND THEY WERE FINALLY ABLE TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART. HOWEVER, THEY STILL DON'T KNOW HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO COME IN.

I'M SORRY IF THIS IS THE WRONG VENUE FOR THIS, BUT THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL ON MY CAR DEALING WITH AIRBAG ISSUES. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST AN ENTIRE YEAR AND THE RECALL STATUS IS "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." FRANKLY, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I COULDN'T FIND THE FORM FOR THAT, SO I FIGURED I'D SUBMIT IT HERE. THANK YOU! MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: N192273760 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V627

THERE HAS BEEN A KNOWN AIRBAG RECALL ON MY 2005 SINCE 08/29/19. TEN MONTHS IS FAR TOO LONG FOR THIS TO GO UNADDRESSED BY GM WHEN IT AFFECTS A MAJOR AIRBAG ON A VEHICLE IMPACTING THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS. I HAVE GONE MOST OF A YEAR WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT OF MY CAR BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MY CAR THE LAST RECALL WAS IN 2016 AND I HAD THE AIRBAG REPLACED THEN. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND WORK TO GET THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE OR THEY NEED TO PLAY A PART IN HELPING THEIR CUSTOMERS PURCHASE NEW CARS THAT ARE SAFE AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE TO MAKE UP FOR NEARLY A YEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFELY CARRY A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE VEHICLE.

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO A RECALL DATED DEC 12,2018 THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER AND SINCE I CANNOT DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL IT IS REMEDIED I AM REPORTING THIS TO NHTSA AS RECOMMENDED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERN161644424 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER18V883 RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE --- I HAVE CHECKED WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM - THE NHTSA WEBSITE STATES THAT UNTIL IT IS FIXED NO PASSENGER SHOULD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND REQUESTED THAT AT LEAST THEY INSTALL A NEWER AIRBAG WHICH WOULD BE SAFER THAN THE OLDER POTENTIALLY DEGRADED AIRBAG. THEY DO NOT CHOOSE TO DO THAT AND STILL THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM TRYING TO GET THE RECALL REPAIR FIXED BUT NOT HAVING ANY SUCCESS WITH LOCAL OR NATIONAL GM REPAIR SHOP OR CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE NATIONAL LEVEL. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON WHEN OR IF A REPAIR SOLUTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE. SINCE THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER AND SINCE I CANNOT DRIVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL IT IS REMEDIED I AM REPORTING THIS TO NHTSA AS RECOMMENDED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC VIBE THAT WAS PART OF TWO TAKATA RECALLS. AFTER THE GM DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT AND REPLACED THE DRIVER AIRBAG ON THE VEHICLE, THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE TACHOMETER STARTED GLOWING AND HAS GLOWED SINCE.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL IN JULY, AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS "THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED". I'VE CALLED EVERYONE, GM, THE LOCAL DEALER, THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE, ETC. AND THE ANSWER IS THAT THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE AND IT WILL TAKE 1-3 YEARS TO GET IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE. I CALLED A SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD DISABLE THE AIRBAG FOR ME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS ILLEGAL. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I HAVE A FAMILY OF 4 AND PETS AND WE CANNOT ALL FIT INTO THE CAR UNLESS WE USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE SOLUTION TO NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FACT AHTT THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND IN JULY 2015 I GOT A LETTER TELLING ME THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE INT HE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE WAITED FOR 5 MONTHS TO HEAR MORE ABOUT WHEN I CAN GET THE SAFETY HAZARD TAKEN CARE OF. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO INFORMAITON ON WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS. THEY DON'T KNOW AND CAN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS. WHEN I LOOKED ON LINE IT SAYS THE REPARIS WILL BEGIN IN 2017 AND END IN 2019. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY. MY FAMILY IS IN THIS CAR DAILY. IT IS MY ONLY CAR. IN THSI DAY AND AGE AND WITH A PROBLEM THAT IS AS EASY TO FIX AS THIS - WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS -- HOW IS IT THAT THE SOLUTION WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR UP TO 6 YEARS????!!! I EXPECT A RESPONSE TO THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY FAMILY AND I ARE AT RISK EVERY DAY AND HAVE BEEN FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO END IN SITE AND NO ONE ABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE FOR WHEN THIS WILL BE RECTIFIED.

AS PART OF NHTSA RECALL #15V285, ISSUED JUL 24, 2014, GM RECALLED MY PONTIAC VIBE, INFORMING ME " THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED PROPELLANT.... IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED PROPELLANT COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY ABNORMALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT." AT THE TIME, THE RECALL STATUS WAS " INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, WITH NO CHANGE IN STATUS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED AS TO WHEN OUR CARS WILL BE FIXED. IS THIS ACTUALLY A RECALL? ARE THESE VEHICLES EVER GOING TO BE REPAIRED? I APPRECIATE NHTSA'S DESIRE TO WARN DRIVERS. HOWEVER, THIS 'RECALL' INCREASINGLY FEELS LIKE A CAR MANUFACTURER FREEING THEMSELVES OF LEGAL LIABILITY AND PASSING THE INCONVENIENCE OF THEIR MISTAKE ONTO DRIVERS, WITH NO INTENTION OF ACTUALLY RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET MY PASSENGER SEAT AVAILABLE FOR SAFE USE AGAIN? THANK YOU! *TR

UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED. PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE." THE DEALER HAD NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. CONTACTING THE GM RECALL LINE, MY CASE NUMBER 71-1508506555 WAS ASSIGNED TO A SENIOR ADVISOR NAMED RUEBEN (866-790-5600 X 58210-88) RUEBEN GAVE ME NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DID NOT CALL ME BACK AS PROMISED. 8-28 I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE 15 INFLATORS IN STOCK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. HOWEVER, AT THE DEALERSHIP, MY VIN BROUGHT UP THE DISPOSITION ORDER: "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR" THE SERVICE WRITER AND SERVICE MANAGER CAN DO NOTHING AND SUGGESTED I CALL GM AGAIN. CALL TO GM RECALL LINE SPEAKING WITH ANNETTE. SHE HAD NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE RECALL WOULD BE RESOLVED. SHE CALLED A DISTRICT MANAGER NAMED PAT--ONLY INFORMATION SHE WOULD PROVIDE--TO ASK FRO MORE DETAILS "PAT" DID NOT ANSWER THE PHONE AND ALL SHE WOULD DO IS ASK RUEBEN TO FOLLOW UP. WE HAVE DELAYED A TRIP BECAUSE WE NEED TO USE THE CAR WITH BOTH FRONT AND BACK SEATS OCCUPIED. WE NEED TO CRACK THROUGH THIS IMPERVIOUS BARRIER GM HAS CONSTRUCTED TO FIND OUT 1: WHY THE 2005 VIBE INFLATORS THE DEALERSHIP HAS IN STOCK CANNOT BE USED 2; AND WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE GM WILL PROVIDE NO INFORMATION.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL (NHTSA RECALL # 15V285; GM RECALL # N140491), FOR WHICH I RECEIVED A LETTER YESTERDAY. I AM VERY DISTURBED TO BE TOLD THAT, UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE, AND WITH ONLY THE ASSURANCE THAT GM (AND PRESUMABLY TOYOTA) IS "WORKING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION," I SHOULD NOT OPERATE THE CAR WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED. I FIND IT DISTURBING AND ODD THAT THE PROSCRIPTION ONLY APPLIES TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, EVEN THOUGH THE WARNING INCLUDES THE STATEMENT THAT MALFUNCTION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD RESULT IN "METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS [INCLUDING, PRESUMABLY, ME] POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH," I AM ALSO TROUBLED THAT NO ADVICE OR ACCOMMODATION IS MADE FOR THOSE FOR WHOM NOT USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION, NOR IS THERE PROVISION BY GM/TOYOTA/TAKATA TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT CAR UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE, OR AT LEAST SOME SORT OF REMUNERATION FOR WHAT IT WILL COST THOSE AFFECTED TO RENT A CAR WHEN THEY MUST USE A FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AND THERE'S THE SMALL MATTER THAT THE METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE MORE THAN JUST THE FRONT PASSENGER. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA IS DOING TO ENSURE THAT PROPER COMPENSATION IS PROVIDED FOR THIS.

I TOOK MY CAR TO MIKE MORGAN BUICK GMC OF SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA FOR THE RECALL REPAIR OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. FIVE DAYS LATER MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I TAKE MY CAR BACK TO MIKE MORGAN BUICK GMC. THEY INFORM ME THE WARNING LIGHT STEMS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG AND THEY ONLY "REPAIRED" OR "TAMPERED" WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I WILL HAVE TO PAY $922 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I DON'T KNOW IF THEM TAMPERING WITH MY AIRBAGS CAUSED THE LIGHT TO COME ON OR NOT. HOWEVER, I DO KNOW I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED IN MY DASHBOARD UNTIL MIKE MORGAN BUICK GMC OF SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA TAMPERED WITH MY CAR.

STOPPED AT RED LIGHT WITH A DODGE RAM 1500 IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS REAR ENDED BY A CAR (TOYOTA RAV 4) GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. I DID TURN MY STEERING WHEEL TO TRY AND GET INTO THE TURN LANE TO AVOID THE COLLISION BUT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME. THE CAR REAR ENDED ME AND THEN MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK. MY HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW JAM (BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND DOOR) AND THEN MY NOSE AND MOUTH HIT MY STEERING WHEEL. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT BUT STILL MY FACE WAS INJURED AND MY LEFT LEG HIT THE STEERING COLUMN. I DO REMEMBER FEELING A POINT DURING THE COLLISION THAT I FLEW IN THE AIR - HAVING THE FEELING THAT I WAS FLYING. MY SEAT BELT CAUGHT AND I WAS PUSHED BACK INTO THE SEAT. MY SEAT WAS NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL EVEN THOUGH I WAS REAR ENDED AND THEN PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I SUSTAINED A BROKEN NOSE WHICH IS BROKE ON BOTH SIDES FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL I BELIEVE. I ALSO ENDED UP SPLITTING MY EYE IN TWO PLACES WHEN I HIT THE BORDER BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND DOOR. I ALSO ENDED UP HITTING MY LEG ON THE STEERING COLUMN WITH MAJOR BRUISING. THE IMPACT WITH THE STEERING ALSO CAUSED MY TEETH TO GO THROUGH MY TOP LIP AND BROKE NUMEROUS TEETH. I FEEL LIKE I WOULD NOT HAVE SUSTAINED SUCH SERIOUS INJURIES IF MY AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED. *TR

MY GIRL'S VEHICLE STOPPED ON IT'S OWN SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO WARNING, BUT LATER WOULD RESTART. THE ENGINE JUST KEPT STOPPING SHE WOULD SAY IN VARIOUS TURNS, BUT WITH JIGGLING THE KEY IT WOULD START BACK UP.THE LAST TIME WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT THE VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE JUST MADE IT COASTING THRU THE INTERSECTION. I NOTICED THE KEY CHAIN WAS OVERLOADED WITH MACE, MINI BASEBALL TIGERS BAT, 15 KEYS, PICTURES ETC. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE MUST BE LOCKED AND WE NEED TO SCRAP THE CAR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO FIRE UP. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT SOMETIMES MADE CONTACT. I JUST GOT A 4TH NOTICE THAT THE 4TH SET OF AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE CAR IS CRUSHED NOW, BUT IT SEEMS PRETTY LOGICAL THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY. I BOUGHT HER A NEW CAR BECAUSE IT KEPT DYING IN TURNS.
