Problem with Air Bags

• Feb 20, 2019 - Niles, MI - Air Bags
  TAKATA RECALL I HAVE A 2005 PONTIAC VIBE THAT WAS PART OF TWO TAKATA RECALLS. AFTER THE GM DEALERSHIP WORKED ON IT AND REPLACED THE DRIVER AIRBAG ON THE VEHICLE, THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE TACHOMETER STARTED GLOWING AND HAS GLOWED SINCE. I TOOK IT IN FOR THE 2ND RECALL RECENTLY AND HAS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME A CODE OF B1811 WHICH MEANS THE AIRBAG WILL NOT GO OFF IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.. GM AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO FIX THE ISSUE. THIS LIGHT WAS TRIGGERED AFTER THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED AT THE DEALERSHIP. WHY WOULDN'T THIS BE COVERED AND FIXED IF DURING THE RECALL? INSTEAD GM AND THEIR DEALERSHIP SAY THAT IT ISN'T UNDER WARRANTY AND THEIR WOULD BE A DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE OF $99 PLUS A COST TO FIX THE ISSUE. SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT WAS CAUSED BY THE RECALL WORK.

  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. ESSENTIALLY, GM AND TAKATA HAVE LEFT ME WITH A VEHICLE UNSUITABLE FOR A FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER--FOR 6 MONTHS! I'M GLAD THAT TAKATA HAS BEEN CHASTISED FOR THEIR SLOW-MOTION RECALL, BUT IT HASN'T PROVIDED ANY GREATER SPEED TO THE RECALL.

  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.

  I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL IN JULY, AND THE RECOMMENDATION IS "THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED". I'VE CALLED EVERYONE, GM, THE LOCAL DEALER, THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE, ETC. AND THE ANSWER IS THAT THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE AND IT WILL TAKE 1-3 YEARS TO GET IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, MY CAR IS UNSAFE AND I HAVE NO ALTERNATIVE. I CALLED A SHOP TO SEE IF THEY COULD DISABLE THE AIRBAG FOR ME AND THEY TOLD ME THAT WAS ILLEGAL. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? I HAVE A FAMILY OF 4 AND PETS AND WE CANNOT ALL FIT INTO THE CAR UNLESS WE USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE SOLUTION TO NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.

  I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE FACT AHTT THIS IS MY ONLY CAR AND IN JULY 2015 I GOT A LETTER TELLING ME THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE INT HE PASSENGER SEAT. I HAVE WAITED FOR 5 MONTHS TO HEAR MORE ABOUT WHEN I CAN GET THE SAFETY HAZARD TAKEN CARE OF. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO INFORMAITON ON WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS. THEY DON'T KNOW AND CAN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE PARTS. WHEN I LOOKED ON LINE IT SAYS THE REPARIS WILL BEGIN IN 2017 AND END IN 2019. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY. MY FAMILY IS IN THIS CAR DAILY. IT IS MY ONLY CAR. IN THSI DAY AND AGE AND WITH A PROBLEM THAT IS AS EASY TO FIX AS THIS - WE KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS -- HOW IS IT THAT THE SOLUTION WILL NOT BE IMPLEMENTED IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR UP TO 6 YEARS????!!! I EXPECT A RESPONSE TO THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY FAMILY AND I ARE AT RISK EVERY DAY AND HAVE BEEN FOR OVER A YEAR WITH NO END IN SITE AND NO ONE ABLE TO PROVIDE A DATE FOR WHEN THIS WILL BE RECTIFIED.

  AS PART OF NHTSA RECALL #15V285, ISSUED JUL 24, 2014, GM RECALLED MY PONTIAC VIBE, INFORMING ME " THESE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN ASSEMBLED WITH IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED PROPELLANT.... IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED PROPELLANT COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG TO DEPLOY ABNORMALLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT." AT THE TIME, THE RECALL STATUS WAS " INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED, WITH NO CHANGE IN STATUS OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED AS TO WHEN OUR CARS WILL BE FIXED. IS THIS ACTUALLY A RECALL? ARE THESE VEHICLES EVER GOING TO BE REPAIRED? I APPRECIATE NHTSA'S DESIRE TO WARN DRIVERS. HOWEVER, THIS 'RECALL' INCREASINGLY FEELS LIKE A CAR MANUFACTURER FREEING THEMSELVES OF LEGAL LIABILITY AND PASSING THE INCONVENIENCE OF THEIR MISTAKE ONTO DRIVERS, WITH NO INTENTION OF ACTUALLY RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO GET MY PASSENGER SEAT AVAILABLE FOR SAFE USE AGAIN? THANK YOU!

  I RECEIVED GM RECALL NOTICE 14491 IN JULY 2015 STATING" THE PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY HAVE AN UNSAFE PROPELLANT WHICH COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE WITH METAL FRAGMENTS POTENTIALLY CAUSING A PASSENGER SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. UNTIL THE REPAIR IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED. PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE." THE DEALER HAD NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. CONTACTING THE GM RECALL LINE, MY CASE NUMBER 71-1508506555 WAS ASSIGNED TO A SENIOR ADVISOR NAMED RUEBEN (866-790-5600 X 58210-88) RUEBEN GAVE ME NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DID NOT CALL ME BACK AS PROMISED. 8-28 I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE 15 INFLATORS IN STOCK. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. HOWEVER, AT THE DEALERSHIP, MY VIN BROUGHT UP THE DISPOSITION ORDER: "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR" THE SERVICE WRITER AND SERVICE MANAGER CAN DO NOTHING AND SUGGESTED I CALL GM AGAIN. CALL TO GM RECALL LINE SPEAKING WITH ANNETTE. SHE HAD NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE RECALL WOULD BE RESOLVED. SHE CALLED A DISTRICT MANAGER NAMED PAT--ONLY INFORMATION SHE WOULD PROVIDE--TO ASK FRO MORE DETAILS "PAT" DID NOT ANSWER THE PHONE AND ALL SHE WOULD DO IS ASK RUEBEN TO FOLLOW UP. WE HAVE DELAYED A TRIP BECAUSE WE NEED TO USE THE CAR WITH BOTH FRONT AND BACK SEATS OCCUPIED. WE NEED TO CRACK THROUGH THIS IMPERVIOUS BARRIER GM HAS CONSTRUCTED TO FIND OUT 1: WHY THE 2005 VIBE INFLATORS THE DEALERSHIP HAS IN STOCK CANNOT BE USED 2; AND WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE GM WILL PROVIDE NO INFORMATION. PLEASE HELP CUT THROUGH THIS BUREAUCRATIC BARRIER GM IS HIDING BEHIND.

  I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FROM GM (GM RECALL NUMBER 14491A) IN REGARDS TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG....I CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MAYBE THE 2ND HALF OF 2016 AND NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT...IS THIS FOR REAL? IN OTHER WORDS I HAVE A CAR THAT I NOW CANNOT USE FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. I SPOKE WITH A JOHN WHO SAID TO CONTACT A GM DEALER TO HAVE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DISCONNECTED....THE GM DEALER REFUSES TO DO IT...ITS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THEY EXPECT PEOPLE TO WAIT FOR MORE THAN A YEAR TO GET A RECALL REPAIRED AND NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR THAT LENGTH OF TIME....

  I AM FILING A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL (NHTSA RECALL # 15V285; GM RECALL # N140491), FOR WHICH I RECEIVED A LETTER YESTERDAY. I AM VERY DISTURBED TO BE TOLD THAT, UNTIL THE NECESSARY REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE, AND WITH ONLY THE ASSURANCE THAT GM (AND PRESUMABLY TOYOTA) IS "WORKING AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE TO CORRECT THIS CONDITION," I SHOULD NOT OPERATE THE CAR WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OCCUPIED. I FIND IT DISTURBING AND ODD THAT THE PROSCRIPTION ONLY APPLIES TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, EVEN THOUGH THE WARNING INCLUDES THE STATEMENT THAT MALFUNCTION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD RESULT IN "METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS [INCLUDING, PRESUMABLY, ME] POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH," I AM ALSO TROUBLED THAT NO ADVICE OR ACCOMMODATION IS MADE FOR THOSE FOR WHOM NOT USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS NOT AN OPTION, NOR IS THERE PROVISION BY GM/TOYOTA/TAKATA TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT CAR UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE, OR AT LEAST SOME SORT OF REMUNERATION FOR WHAT IT WILL COST THOSE AFFECTED TO RENT A CAR WHEN THEY MUST USE A FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AND THERE'S THE SMALL MATTER THAT THE METAL FRAGMENTS COULD STRIKE MORE THAN JUST THE FRONT PASSENGER. THEREFORE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA IS DOING TO ENSURE THAT PROPER COMPENSATION IS PROVIDED FOR THIS.

  I TOOK MY CAR TO MIKE MORGAN BUICK GMC OF SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA FOR THE RECALL REPAIR OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR MODULE. FIVE DAYS LATER MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I TAKE MY CAR BACK TO MIKE MORGAN BUICK GMC. THEY INFORM ME THE WARNING LIGHT STEMS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG AND THEY ONLY "REPAIRED" OR "TAMPERED" WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I WILL HAVE TO PAY $922 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I DON'T KNOW IF THEM TAMPERING WITH MY AIRBAGS CAUSED THE LIGHT TO COME ON OR NOT. HOWEVER, I DO KNOW I HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED IN MY DASHBOARD UNTIL MIKE MORGAN BUICK GMC OF SHREVEPORT LOUISIANA TAMPERED WITH MY CAR. THEY TOLD ME THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON MEANS MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS DISABLED.

BASICALLY THE LETTER FROM GM APPEARS TO COVER THEM FROM LIABILITY BUT IT REALITY NO ONE IS SERVICING MY CAR!

  STOPPED AT RED LIGHT WITH A DODGE RAM 1500 IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS REAR ENDED BY A CAR (TOYOTA RAV 4) GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. I DID TURN MY STEERING WHEEL TO TRY AND GET INTO THE TURN LANE TO AVOID THE COLLISION BUT DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME. THE CAR REAR ENDED ME AND THEN MY CAR WAS PUSHED INTO THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK. MY HEAD HIT THE SIDE WINDOW JAM (BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND DOOR) AND THEN MY NOSE AND MOUTH HIT MY STEERING WHEEL. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT BUT STILL MY FACE WAS INJURED AND MY LEFT LEG HIT THE STEERING COLUMN. I DO REMEMBER FEELING A POINT DURING THE COLLISION THAT I FLEW IN THE AIR - HAVING THE FEELING THAT I WAS FLYING. MY SEAT BELT CAUGHT AND I WAS PUSHED BACK INTO THE SEAT. MY SEAT WAS NOT TOO CLOSE TO THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL EVEN THOUGH I WAS REAR ENDED AND THEN PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I SUSTAINED A BROKEN NOSE WHICH IS BROKE ON BOTH SIDES FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL I BELIEVE. I ALSO ENDED UP SPLITTING MY EYE IN TWO PLACES WHEN I HIT THE BORDER BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND DOOR. I ALSO ENDED UP HITTING MY LEG ON THE STEERING COLUMN WITH MAJOR BRUISING. THE IMPACT WITH THE STEERING ALSO CAUSED MY TEETH TO GO THROUGH MY TOP LIP AND BROKE NUMEROUS TEETH. I FEEL LIKE I WOULD NOT HAVE SUSTAINED SUCH SERIOUS INJURIES IF MY AIRBAG HAD DEPLOYED.

  MY GIRL'S VEHICLE STOPPED ON IT'S OWN SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO WARNING, BUT LATER WOULD RESTART. THE ENGINE JUST KEPT STOPPING SHE WOULD SAY IN VARIOUS TURNS, BUT WITH JIGGLING THE KEY IT WOULD START BACK UP.THE LAST TIME WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A LIGHT THE VEHICLE DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN AGAIN. THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE JUST MADE IT COASTING THRU THE INTERSECTION. I NOTICED THE KEY CHAIN WAS OVERLOADED WITH MACE, MINI BASEBALL TIGERS BAT, 15 KEYS, PICTURES ETC. WE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE MUST BE LOCKED AND WE NEED TO SCRAP THE CAR BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO FIRE UP. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH THAT SOMETIMES MADE CONTACT. I JUST GOT A 4TH NOTICE THAT THE 4TH SET OF AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. THE CAR IS CRUSHED NOW, BUT IT SEEMS PRETTY LOGICAL THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS FAULTY. I BOUGHT HER A NEW CAR BECAUSE IT KEPT DYING IN TURNS. I DID NOT PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER UNTIL AFTER THE PUBLICITY. THE SCOPE OF THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO THE 2005 PONTIAC VIBE. WE WERE LUCKY THAT NO ONE WAS COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION THRU THOSE INTERSECTIONS. THE VIN IS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

  I BOUGHT THIS CAR AUGUST 2005 AND IT ALWAYS HAD A START ISSUE. IT JUST WONT TURN OVER, BUT THIS PROBLEM CAN GO FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE STARTING AGAIN. IT WILL START FINE SOME DAYS AND OTHERS IT WON'T. ALSO WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT REAR ENDED A VAN AND SMASHED UP THE CAR BUT THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL. MY INSURANCE COMPANY STOPPED COUNTING THE DAMAGE AFTER IT HIT $10,000. IT WAS AT AN ANGLE VERSUS JUST STRAIGHT ON. CAR HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON IT. MAIN CONCERN WAS THE AIR BAG DIDN'T GO OFF WHEN THE COLLISION HAPPENED. LUCKILY EVERYONE WAS FINE. BUT WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT THIS TWO PROBLEMS?

  I WAS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS FRONT END COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT WHY THIS HAPPENED AND I WAS TOLD THAT "AIR BAGS ONLY DEPLOY AT CERTAIN ANGLES." WELL, IF IT WAS A DIRECT FRONT END COLLISION THAT CAUSED $8,600 WORTH OF DAMAGE, DON'T YOU THINK THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF? I HAD TO REPLACE EVERYTHING BETWEEN THE ENGINE AND THE BUMPER, THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT I GOT THE RUN -AROUND ABOUT THE AIR BAG. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AIR BAGS IN MANY VIBES ARE FAULTY AND THAT PONTIAC ISN'T DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

  DT: THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE 2005 PONTIAC VIBE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR AN INDICATOR LIGHT THAT INDICATES THAT THE AIR BAG IS INOPERATIVE. THE OWNER'S MANUAL STATES THAT IF THIS LIGHT IS ON THE AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY AT ANYTIME. THE DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED, AND ADVISED THE CONSUMER TO BRING THE CAR TO DEALER AGAIN SINCE THE LIGHT IS STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. NOW THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG IS NOT SHOWING IF THE AIR BAG IS ON OR OFF. WHEN THERE IS A PASSENGER IN THE SEA THE LIGHT IS SHOWING OFF FOR THE AIR BAG WHEN THE LIGHT SHOULD SAY ON. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE CAR OUT FOR A DRIVE THE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AT ALL.
