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 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.

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.
