Description of the problem	Takata recall. My truck has been on the recall list for over 1 year now, still with no remedy to fix it. The idea that my passenger air bag can deploy and injure or kill my wife or my child makes me very uneasy. Gmc will not offer a loaner vehicle until it is fixed and i need to drive it for work. I limit my vacations with my family in the truck due to the possibility of injury. Not only that but i can't even sale my vehicle having this issue, and it hurts my trade in value because there is no remedy and no other dealer can resale with an open recall. I feel there needs to be more done to enforce the automakers to help the consumers and customers out. The automakers chose takata and should be held responsible for ensuring all customers on the road are safe. When i spoke to gmc about this they basically told me tough luck and deal with it until enough vehicles are fixed that my truck makes the list.
