Description of the problem | We received notice in july of 2016 of the airbags being defective, and that we would be notified when parts are available to remedy my vehicle. However, we never received that notice. It offered me to check with my local dealer for updates, and to check their website. Every time i checked the website, it read it still read remedy not available. It still says that today. I also tried calling my local dealer, lou bachrodt chevrolet buick months ago. They told me it was still under investigation and they (takata) have until august or september of 2017 to come up with an action plan or a result. Today i received a notice in the mail from tk holdings, that takata has filed chapter 11. The resale value of my truck is highly deteriorated. How can i sell it to someone knowing the airbags are defective? This is terrible and i need this resolved, and want to be compensated for the risk i've continued to put myself and my family at.
