| Description of the problem | Takata recall no one can answer my questions. Case reference: nhtsa 1153284 1. Gm had 2+ years to investigate the airbag they put in my vehicle. My question is: why nhtsa would allow them a time extension until the end of the year 2017. Their time to investigate was granted an extension by nhtsa as per my call to nhtsa 2. As the air bag on my car has never been deployed in the 10 years of ownership (contains original airbags installed in the gm janesville wi plant, never touched internally as the steering wheel has not been removed or the dashboard taken apart ). My question is: the tk holdings card states: "if your vehicle contains a defective or potentially defective airbag inflator and is under recall, contact your nearest dealership immediately to schedule a free repair." when dealer was contacted, he is still waiting for gm to finish the investigation and can not replace the airbag under the recall. Which is true? Will results happen before the december 27, 2017 date where i may be able to include myself as a "will suffer" (as i do not know the outcome of a accidental incident in advance of your 12/27/17 date to file a claim). Observation: this sounds like the classic case of the governmental left hand not knowing what the governmental right hand is doing! Attention nhtsa: i think someone should call me as to completion of the recall that gm is dragging their feet over. 724-654-0270 no response to my inquiry confirms to me that you are just as much at fault as gm or takata in the perpetuation of this recall and/or investigation. |
