Consumer Description

I HAVE RECEIVED SEVERAL NOTICES AND MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET MY AIRBAG RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES BY 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS THAT THEY EITHER COULD NOT GET THE PART OR THAT I WOULD NEED TO SIGN A DISCLAIMER STATING THAT ANY DAMAGE OCCURRING WHILE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED WOULD BE MY RESPONSIBILITY. THE REASON GIVEN WAS THAT PONTIAC WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS. I FEEL THIS IS WRONG AND ALL COSTS TO COMPLETE THE RECALL AND FIX ANY DAMAGE SHOULD BE GM'S RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL FOR POSSIBLE SHRAPNEL COMING THOUGHT THE AIRBAG WHEN DEPLOYED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE ALLOWING ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND IF I RESELL THE VEHICLE, THEN WHAT HAPPENS? THE DEALERSHIPS ARE KING BUICK GMC, 16200 FREDERICK ROAD, ROCKVILLE, MD 20877 (WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR), AND CRISWELL AUTOMOTIVE, 503 QUINCE ORCHARD ROAD, GAITHERSBURG (THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE WAIVER FOR DAMAGE). PLEASE ADVISE HOW I CAN GET THIS RECALL FIXED WITHOUT PAYING FOR FURTHER DAMAGES.
