Description of the problem | Takata recall received letter stating my truck is affected by the takata airbag recall. The letter says my truck is "considered safe to drive" followed by a paragraph that says "the inflator may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries". I got a similar notice from lexus a few days earlier, and lexus offered a rental no questions asked until the issue is resolved. The chevy dealer said they are not offering rentals at this time. Gm customer service said my truck is safe to drive so no rental warranted. I asked the rep why did i get a letter then saying that my airbag may kill me and was told she can't answer that. I want a rental of a similar truck until this is fixed. I live in zone 1/a of the recall as well, so if anyone is likely to have a problem, we are in this area. |
