I received a safety recall in July of 2016, I have not been able to get it repaired. If it is a safety recall, I am not sure how safe it is to drive. My local dealer does not have the parts to fix

Takata recall. The manufacturer says 'no remedy is available'. I have also called the local Chevrolet dealership to try to schedule recall repair work and they also told me that no remedy is available. It is of great concern to me that this defect, which has proven fatal to some drivers, is not being repaired in a timely manner. I implore the NHTSA to take swift and decisive action to remedy this situation (or make a determination that replacement is not necessary)

Takata recall. I've contacted at least 2 Chevrolet dealerships in my area and asked them both to contact me asap, since they both claimed no parts were available.

Takata recall after getting 2nd airbag recall notice saying to contact dealership to set up an appointment to have airbag replaced at no charge the dealership tells me that GM is not doing replacements. My 1st notice came in July 2016 stating telling of the recall but stating not to contact the dealership that I would hear from them later. My next notice came from takata today ( 10/24/2017 ) telling me to contact the dealership and set up the appointment to have the airbags replaced @ no charge to me but I was told GM has not given them approval for the replacement because they do not have replacements, so what do I do now.
Takata recall - have called dealership and GM numerous times and keep being told parts are not available. Have very low mileage due to fear of driving unsafe vehicle. This is a 2008 model with only approx. 15,000 miles. I want vehicle repaired because I want to use it more and want to have a sense of safety when doing so.
I am unable to get GM to replace my recalled takata airbags.
