2009 PONTIAC VIBE Air Bags Problems

I been trying to get the recalls to be fix but both the dealers and GM haven’t been able to help due to parts discontinued, I been trying to get this issued resolve for a year or so. I need help please, they just keep saying that all recalls on this vehicle don’t have the parts for it and don’t know what else to do.

Air bags failed to deploy and vehicle is not available for inspection. Vehicle was a total loss and is in the proces of becoming proprty of Copart.com for auction (I assume). I hit my head very hard from the T-bone type of collision and my side airbags did not deploy. I have a severe concussion and internal brain bleed. ICU stay was required. Problem was confirmed by the police report, etc. Nothing has been inspected to the best of my knowledge in any great detail (I assume). No warning lamps, messgaes, or other symptoms prior to the failure.

The restraint system appears to have failed and cannot be repaired. Nobody appears to know why

MY VEHICLE WAS TURNED IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. WE RECEIVED A CALL SAYING IT WAS DONE. WE ARE STILL RECEIVING NOTICES FROM THE ESTABLISHMENT WE DROPPED THE CAR OFF TO GET IT COMPLETED AND PENDOT STATING THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN COMPLETED. *TR

GM IS GREAT AT SENDING OUT LETTERS TO GET THE AIRBAG PROBLEM FIXED, BUT THE GM DEALERSHIPS DON'T SEEM SO WILLING TO DO THE WORK. I CONTACTED FELDMAN CHEVROLET A FEW WEEKS AGO TO GET IT FIXED. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER PARTS, THEN THEY WOULD CALL ME TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR. I NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN!

TAKATA RECALL. MY RECALL WAS COMPLETED. HOWEVER, WHEN I PICKED MY CAR UP AFTER THE REPAIR, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I PICKED IT UP AT CLOSE AND NOTICED THE LIGHT WAS ONE WHEN I GOT TO THE LIGHT BASICALLY NEXT DOOR FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I CALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I COULDN'T TURN AROUND AS THEY HAD CLOSED. I LEFT A MESSAGE FOR JEREMY WHO TOOK CARE OF THE PAPERWORK LESS THAN 5 MINS AFTER LEAVING. NO RETURN CALL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT WEEK AS LEFT A MESSAGE FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. STILL NO RETURN CALL. I DON'T KNOW IF MY RECALL WAS ACTUALLY COMPLETED CORRECTLY AS THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE CHECKED MY CAR'S COMPUTER AND CONFIRMED THE LIGHT IS ON DUE TO THE AIRBAG. I JUST WANT THE LIGHT OFF AND TO KNOW THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED CORRECTLY. I'VE TRIED CALLING SINCE, BUT I...

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...

PER THE RECALL, I TRIED TO HAVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR FIXED AT A GM DEALER. HOWEVER, I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED TO SIGN A WAIVER FOR ANY DAMAGE DONE DURING THE RECALL REPAIR BECAUSE IF THE DASH OR OTHER PARTS BROKE, THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPLACE THEM. THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO COVER ALL OF THE REPAIR COSTS TO FIX THIS MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. ALSO NOTE, THAT ANOTHER GM DEALER, WHERE I GOT BOUGHT THE CAR TOLD THEY COULD NOT EVEN GET THE REPLACEMENT PART ON 3 OCCASIONS.

TAKATA RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR HAS HAD A RECALL ON IT FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR FOR OVER TWO YEARS, BUT THEY NEVER HAVE THE PART. NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT - REALLY, FOR TWO YEARS? THIS IS RIDICULOUS!

TAKATA RECALL: I BELIEVE ITS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR SINCE THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY ALWAYS SAY THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE DEALER. IT IS ABOUT GENERAL MOTORS. I HAVE PARKED THE CAR FOR A YEAR BUT CONTINUE TO PAY LICENSE AND INSURANCE. IF THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS, THEY SHOULD BUY THE CARS BACK AT THE AVERAGE NADA/BLUE BOOK VALUE. THEN, THEY CAN STORE THE CARS UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I KNOW THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MILLIONS OF CARS RECALLED; BUT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR GETTING THEM FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I BELIEVE THEY COULD GET THEM MANUFACTURED BY SOMEONE ELSE OR A VARIETY OF COMPANIES. THEY ARE PROTECTING THEIR EARNINGS, STOCK PRICE, AND SHAREHOLDERS. THEY SHOULD BE FINED FOR EVERY DAY THAT THEY DRAG THIS OUT. AND, THAT FINE BE...

TAKATA RECALL: WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DANGEROUS, AND THAT "IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH." YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT WE TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION AFTER RECEIVING OUR AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH, 2017, CALLING EVERY DEALER THAT WE COULD FIND, TRYING TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. NOW WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT TAKATA IS GOING BANKRUPT, LEAVING US IN THE LURCH. I CONTINUE TO CALL DEALERS AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT THERE IS "NO REMEDY" YET. SINCE WE DO NOT HAVE A FLEET OF CARS, WE DEPEND ON USING THIS CAR TO DRIVE. WE FEEL THAT GM AND TAKATA ARE PUTTING OUR FAMILY AT RISK FOR A HORRIBLE OUTCOME. OF COURSE, WE TRY NOT TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BUT SOMETIMES WE...
