I have a recall on my 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix and I have called a local dealership to get it fixed but they said that the part is on back order for months. I then talked to Pontiac customer service and they told me that I had to wait for a second letter for the recall notice. I told them that I had received it already and they still insisted that I have to wait for it. I drive 3 kids in my vehicle and I constantly worry about my recall. It is the recall about oil dripping on the exhaust manifold. Also my head lights are really dim. I literally can't drive at night with my head lights.

Takata recall 15757. Drops of engine oil may be deposited on the exhaust manifold through hard braking. This condition could cause an engine compartment fire. So I took the car to doan Buick GMC and the valve rocker arm cover and the gasket were replaced on 8/5/16. Then I was told that the rear valve cover and lower intake are leaking oil but may have other leaks. Which this was not part of the recall. So expects me to pay out-of-pocket for this. Also the transmission cooler lines are leaking some but not really bad. So he topped it off with 3 quarts of transmission fluid. When I would turn on the ac the car engine idled down and struggled to accelerate and will jerk. I had to turn the ac off so the car can pick up speed. Now its running fine for now.

- Palm Coast, FL, USA

Recall notice 15V701 has been issued and I was informed by GM in Feb, 2016 that parts are now available. However, this is not the case per my local dealership. They stated they received only 5 repair kits and have a backlog of people waiting for parts to come in so their vehicles can be repaired. Someone needs to find out from GM why parts are not available and when they will be available. The risk of engine compartment fires will not be eliminated until repairs are done. What is the GM doing about this and what is the NHTSA doing to get GM to resolve this 'no parts' situation?
