Description of the problem | May 27, 2016 takata airbag issue was made known to us. I've contacted gm about the issue several times to no avail. They simply recommend no one should sit on the passenger side of the vehicle. Insane. We went through massive flooding in our area august 29, 2017, hurricane harvey, in port arthur tx. Humidity is of grave concern in this area given the affect it has on airbags. We need a solution immediately! They need to make repairs to these vehicles at once, without delay. Otherwise, you are equally guilty of maiming people when these airbags go off, especially those affected by hurricane harvey with all the moisture vehicles encountered here months on end. Do something about this situation now! No problem of this magnitude should remain in limbo for this length of time. Do your job!!!! Nothing has happened to us or our vehicle thus far, but it's like driving with a time bomb ready to go off any time now! Demand a solution to the airbags on these vehicles especially those in port arthur, tx given the flooding we encountered! |
