I have called viking Saab and registered on their web site months ago to have my airbag replaced as they are the only authorized Saab place in houston, Texas, to replace it. They have not contacted me. I don't know what else to do. When I called there they told me to register on their web site. I did that and nothing has happened.

Takata recall-I received a recall notice in March 2016. I have contacted the Saab service center on four different occasions to try to determine when the air bag will be replaced. I have always received the same response: "we have no idea when we will be able to replace your air bag". I have also been told that they, the manufacturer, do not believe that there is a safety issue. People have been hurt and killed. There is a safety issue. They have told me that older vehicles located in the higher humidity zones take priority. I have explained that my car is a 2010 and is located in zone B. I understand that this is not the highest humidity zone but it is the second most and it is much older than most cars that are receiving replacement air bags. I know 4 people who have already had the air bags in their vehicles replaced and they are in the same zone and are much newer than my vehicle. Even though this vehicle is in my name, I purchased it for my 18 year old daughter and everyday she is in this car, I have major anxiety issues. The reason that I am contacting you is to determine why the manufacturer has no idea when they will be able to replace this faulty air bag. I find this response unacceptable. I also have a hard time accepting the fact that newer vehicles in the same area have already had their air bags replaced and I am still waiting. I contacted a one of your representatives today about this issue and they advised me to submit a complaint. I would greatly appreciate any help that you can provide in order to correct this issue so that I can be assured that my daughter is safe when she is driving this vehicle.

I received a recall for the subject car back in March 2016. I am being told that they have no idea when they will be able to replace this faulty air bag. I have called several times and they still cannot give me a time frame. I realize that this recall is very large however my daughter drives this car and this makes me very uncomfortable. I have asked if they would supply a loaner car and they said no because they believe that the car is safe to drive. If it was safe to drive why is there a recall. I would like to know what other recourse I have until the replacement parts are available.

Takat recall. Have not been replaced and GM and dealership refuse to provide loaner vehicle. The dealership service rep told me it was still safe to drive the vehicle even though the vehicle has spent 6 years in a hot, humid climate. GM's hotline rep promised a return call from supervisor but no one ever called. I have no vehicle to drive and cannot afford to buy another vehicle; and I can't sell this vehicle because of the defective airbag. NHTSA website says the recall was issued in may but I received my recall notice in March 2016. It has been over six months.

- Boston, MA, USA

Takata recall. Given that these devices are potentially dangerous, possibly inflicting great harm or death, why are instructions not being given to disable the bags until corrective action has been implemented" the GM dealer I first approached said they were not authorized to disable the bags. The second said the same but added " you know they are fuzed don't you"". din my view disabling the bags [whle awaiting the repair should be the option of the owner. Request comment/guidance.
