Vehicle shuts down as it did during recall. They supposedly repaired it. I then bought it from previous owner who did not mention the problem as being on a recall. We found out but dealer says it was repaired. Obviously the fix did not work as vehicle still shuts down and says airbag warning. What recourse do we have when they say it was previously repaired but wasn't.

My husband was involved in an accident shortly after purchasing our vehicle at which point a trailer (rear of a pick up) hauling dirt was released from and oncoming vehicle (traveling approx. 45-55 mph) and my husband driving at 35 mph (braking as he saw it coming towards him) the trailer slammed into the front end of our car. This caused the frame to be bent with several other damages including broken axle, and driveshaft with other minor repairs. The car would have been considered totaled had it not had gap coverage and due to fault the other drivers insurance would have had to buy the car out from our credit Agency. Approx. Damage was a little over $5000. My concern is with the airbags (even or repair shop said they should have deployed) and with GM's recent recalls (my make and model included but the VIN has not been flagged yet) they are claiming the issue with our car isnt like the recent colbolt recall a few months back. But our vehicle can be jarred into acc. While still in motion causing the vehicle to become difficult to control. We have always had minimal key on our rings (house, car, work keys with a single ring) GM explained to me this last wk that the car was just added on the list for unintended key rotation not the faulty ignition and I would need to wait and see if our VIN was involved but they assured the car was safe. After reading up on the recent complaints of the year make and model I see this is not just our car and I highly doubt in anyway it is a coincidence. We also have the directional issue were it sometimes doesnt work and when it does it has a long lasting clicking after use and to our knowledge this part was replaced atleast twice by pervious owner as well as once by us.

9.13.13 I have been in contact with the local GM dealership, my extended warranty company and GM.com representative directly since February 2013 regarding my horn. Several mechanics told me it is a safety issue. The horn is surrounded by the air bag and if it is not working properly, it could be compromised during an accident. Prior to me purchasing the car (which was not on the car fax when purchased used) and may not work properly when I need it to. The horn works under the hood (the lock / unlock remote works properly with the required beep) but when the center of the steering wheel is pressed it does not work. It worked for 1 year and 18 months consistently and then it quick working all together. I am afraid, if I am in a wreck, the steering wheel air bag will not save my life (I do wear my seat belt). I have been advised, by dealerships, mechanics, my extended warranty company, and a representative at GM today 9.3.13 this will need fixed out of pocket - and it will be costly to order the part and repair. I was also advised to file a complaint with the NHTSA. Are vehicle owners reimbursed for items that compromise their safety that should work properly (the horn and airbag in my case)?

My sister was driving my 2004 Pontiac Grand Am when she was rear ended by a car behind her because a car hit the car behind her and causing my car to hit the car in front of my car. My car has a lot of damage to the front and back and is now considered a total loss and my air bags never deployed. For the amount of damage on my car the airbags should have deployed.
