AIR BAGS	11/23/2015 - ALMOND, NY TAKATA RECALL 14491. NOTICE OF THE RECALL ARRIVED IN JULY 2015. NO FURTHER INFORMATION HAS COME FROM GM AND PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AT THE DEALER.

I'M GLAD THAT TAKATA HAS BEEN CHASTISED FOR THEIR SLOW-MOTION RECALL, BUT IT HASN'T PROVIDED ANY GREATER SPEED TO THE RECALL. View Details

AIR BAGS	11/18/2015 - REEDSBURG, WI RECALL 14491 WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2014. WE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM PONTIAV DATED JULY 2015. NO REMEDY IS STILL AVAILABLE. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR TWO REASON; FIRST-THE YEAR DELAY IN NOTIFICATION OF RECALL, AND SECOND-THE LACK OF REMEDY AVAILABLE. I CHECKED THE WEB FOR ANY PROGRESS= NONE. View Details
AIR BAGS	11/17/2015 - BOWDOINHAM, ME RECEIVED RECALL #14491 IN JULY 2015. MANUFACTURER STILL HAS NO PARTS. IN THE MEANTIME THE LETTER SAYS NOT TO LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SINCE THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED, IT SEEMS A VIOLATION OF MY USAGE OF THE VEHICLE TO NOT HAVE FULL USE UNTIL THEY DECIDE TO FIX IT. I AM COMPLAINING THAT NOT HAVING A TIME LIMIT IN WHICH TO REPAIR DEFECTS IS RESTRICTING MY USAGE OF MY PROPERTY. View Details
