2009 Pontiac Vibe Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL WAS NOTIFIED OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL (NHTSA RECALL 17V006; MANUFACTUR RECALL NUMBER N162017009) ON JANUARY 10, 2017. IT IS CURRENTLY OCTOBER 28, 2017.I HAVE TRIED CALLING MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST 10 MONTHS, YET THEY CONTINUE TO CLAIM A FIX IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. AND THAT FOR SAFETY REASONS, I SHOULD NOT HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. MY WIFE IS PREGNANT WITH OUR SECOND CHILD AND IS DUE IN JUST OVER 2 WEEKS. THE 2009 PONTIAC VIBE CAR WILL ONLY FIT 2 CAR SEATS IN THE BACK ROW, WHICH MEANS THAT ONLY 3 PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO RIDE IN THE CAR DUE TO THIS AIRBAG RECALL. SINCE OUR DEALERSHIP SAID THAT NO FIX WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON, WE WILL BE FORCED TO USE A SECOND VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR FAMILY ANYWHERE WE GO. THIS IS JUST PLAIN UNACCEPTABLE. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, WHICH WOULD ALLOW A PASSENGER TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. SURE, IT MAY NOT BE AS SAFE AS DRIVING WITH AN AIRBAG, BUT FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT IS A WHOLE LOT SAFER THAN HAVING A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT WITH A TAKATA AIRBAG. THE 2009 PONTIAC VIBE HAD ONLY 31,000 MILES ON IT WHEN WE WERE NOTIFIED. IT CURRENTLY HAS 37,000 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG YEARS AGO. WE RECEIVED NOTIFICATION IN 2012 OR 2013 ABOUT THE ISSUE AND TO CONTACT OUR DEALER (IN NEW MEXICO AT THE TIME). THEY CLAIMED NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE. IT WAS ONLY JUST ADDRESSED BY OUR NEW LOCAL DEALER (IN VIRGINIA) IN 2016 BECAUSE PARTS WERE "FINALLY AVAILABLE". THAT'S AT LEAST 3 YEARS AND WHILE ALSO UNACCEPTABLE, I DON'T HAVE ACTUAL DATES FOR IT. I AM FEARING THIS CURRENT PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL WILL TAKE JUST AS MANY YEARS.

TAKATA RECALL APPARENTLY MY RECALL STATES "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THIS RECALL, I FIND IT TROUBLING THAT NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE NEARLY A YEAR AFTER I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY STATE THAT THEY CANNOT ACT UNTIL THE REMEDY IS IDENTIFIED. THIS MY FAMILY'S ONLY CAR AND RELY ON IT DAILY. THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT YET, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITH SUCH A SEVERE DEFECT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT I CAN DO, BUT THIS IS NOT SAFE AND THE LENGTH TO IDENTIFY A REMEDY IS IRRESPONSIBLE.

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 ON A PER CAR BASIS, WITH THE OWNER OF THE CAR REAPING THE BENEFITS OF THAT FINE. THAT WOULD GET THEM TO MOVE FASTER, AND FIND MANUFACTURERS THAT WILL GET THE PARTS NEEDED

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED RECALL 150826 (15826) (NHTSA: 16V340) IN JULY 2016. IT IS NOW END OF DECEMBER AND NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN ADVISED. WARNED NOT TO OCCUPY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHICH IS UNREASONABLE SINCE THE CAR IS USED FOR FAMILY TRIPS AND WILL OFTEN HAVE PASSENGER(S). SO FAR NO EVIDENCE OF MALFUNCTION HAS OCCURRED BUT THE POTENTIAL IS FRIGHTENING. RESPONSE TIME IS UNSATISFACTORY AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY!

PEDAL ACCELERATOR - WHEN DRIVING, THE CAR ACCELERATES ON THIS OWN EVEN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED. THE RESULT IS INCREASED SPEEDS, AND WHEN REACHING A STOP, THE CAR HAS TO QUICKLY BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO STOP THE CAR, ELSE, IT WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS SITUATION WITH GMC AND THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, IT HAS BECOME AN ISSUE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND IT POSES A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I HAVE A OPEN RECALL ON MY VIBE FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL AND I STILL DO NOT KNOW WHEN I WILL GET A REPLACEMENT. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND GM ABOUT THIS AND THEY CAN'T TELL ANYTHING EITHER. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM. I LIVE IN THE SOUTHEAST OF VIRGINIA. WE HAVE VERY HIGH HUMIDITY AND HEAT. THESE TWO FACTORS ARE THE PRIME ISSUES CAUSING THESE AIR BAG PROBLEMS. WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO RECEIVE INFORMATION ON A FIX FOR THIS. ALSO, I JUST RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT TK HOLDINGS HAS FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY. IS THIS GOING TO CAUSE ME NOT TO GET A AIR BAG REPLACEMENT?
