Description of the problem | Takata recall: received "important safety recall" from gm in july 2016. Recall says vehicle is safe to drive, and that i'll be notified when parts are available. In fall of 2016 i checked again. Parts still not available. Gm website says feb. 2017. Checked march 9th, 2017, web site says check back after august 2017. Checked in september 2017. Web site says "incomplete. Remedy not yet available. Recently received notice from tk holding inc. Announcing bankruptcy filing of takata. Called their number and they said repairs should have been made. Called local dealer: their service department says parts are still not available. My questions: is this vehicle safe to drive? If i'm injured by a defective air bag, and takata has filed bankruptcy, is gm going to repair my truck, and/or (god forbid) i'm injured by a defective air bag, who will take care of my medical? Lastly, if these air bags were defective enough to issue a safety recall, does it really take 15+ months to get parts and effect repairs? Or is this just some ploy to keep putting it off in the hopes the owner sells the truck or it goes to the 'bone yard' because it's worn out? Thank you. |
