"takata recall" vehicle acted like it wanted to only go right and I couldn't turn left and ended up hitting the guardrail on the right side of the road and almost totalled the vehicle. Didn't know about any recall so I went to junkyard to get whole front end, fenders, hood and pretty much every thing on front of vehicle except for motor. But did replace fan on motor. Cost in parts only was approx. $700 (have receipts). Not including labor! & time and cost spent not having a vehicle until fixed. Also no airbags deployed!
Parked car in driveway overnight. Awoke this morning to find the passenger side air bag deployed. No other cars were in front or back of it. This is a single family dwelling.
Air bag light on 33,000 miles, dealer replaced air bag control module under center console. 33,500 miles air bag light on again, dealer reset light.at 35,100 miles air bag light on again and goes on and off every 5-minutes to this day with 54,000 miles. This needs a recall for GM asap. Please investigate!
