Although dealer could simply replace the airbag they cannot because your site lists this as remedy not available. This means the dealer cannot be reimbursed for replacing the faulty air bag. You are endangering my family with your incorrect remedy not available an basically letting GM get away with not repairing the vehicle

Takata inflators have not been replaced after 6 months from receiving the notification. I have a four passenger vehicle that I am only allowed to use 3 seats safely. The fix for the air bag inflator has taken too long and other compensation needs to be provided so that I can get full utilization from my vehicle. I have not had an incident but I can no longer continue not using my front passenger seat.

Takata recall. Was notified in July 2015 by letter of airbag recall in my Pontiac Vibe and that I would receive notice when the parts would be available in a reasonable amount of time. I would like to have this corrected so that I may have a front seat passenger ride in the vehicle without fear of airbag injury or death. It is preventing me from utilizing my vehicle for its intended purposes. To date, I have not received any communication about parts availability.

Takata inflators-had to rent a vehicle since not safe for passenger. GM is paying for the car, but I had to buy collision insurance since all I have is liability. Cost is $14 per day and I feel GM should cover this cost too. Still no parts for replacement and I cannot afford ins. Cost. Isn't GM responsible for all asociated costs. This has been on-going since may, 2015, yet I only got the rental on Nov. 25th. The dealer, jerry smith Chevy, has been very accomodating, but they say that GM will not cover insurance. Can you help?
