Takata recall. I have a 2007 Saab 9-3 with a recall for the driver side airbag. I called GM Saab and the dealer and they keep telling me there is nothing they can do at this time to resolve the issue. This is for the driver side so every time I am driving I could potentially have the airbag kill me. In some cars it is for the passenger side and you could just have the passenger sit in the back but mine is for the driver side. Please give me some help in this situation because they won't repair it and they won't take the car if I trade it in for a new car. All I have is a dangerous airbag on the driver side every time I drive.

The document states that the parts to repair my vehicle are not currently available. This is from March 2016. How long am I supposed to pay for a vehicle that has a potentially lethal defect and has not been addressed. The millions of other recalls appear to have solution and those owners are still waiting. This makes me believe that they have not even had the time to manufacture a solution for my make and model. How long is an acceptable time to play russian roulette every day I commute to work. I am not even able to drive my 10 week old son anywhere in this vehicle. What are our options? if I wait to file this until I have an accident there is a good chance I will be dead and unable to file it.

Takata recall. We received a written letter advising us that our car is part of the safety recall back in March 2016. Online, the recall date states February 3, 2016. We have checked and it the response is still " incomplete. Remedy not yet available". this is not being handled in a timely fashion, it has been an extremely long time for there still to be no remedy for this recall. I am nervous to drive the car in case we do have the defective airbag.
