O'REILLY CHEVROLET DEALER LISTED ON RECALL WAS CONTACTED WITH ALMOST RIDICULOUS RESULTS. FIRST PHONE CALL WAS TOLD PERSON WHO HANDLED RECALLS WAS OU, WOULD RETURN CALL, NEVER HAPPENED. CALLED LATER SAME PERSON SAID THEY WOULD ASSIST BUT I NEEDED A RECALL NUMBER. I HAD NO SUCH NUMBER BUT I DID HAVE VIN, AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES ON HOLD I WAS TOLD THER WAS A RECALL BUT I WOULD NEED TO BRING VEHICLE IN TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. ARRIVED AT SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LINE OF CARS AND WAITING ROOM FULL OF CUSTOMERS, APPROXIMATELY 1/2 HOUR WAIT. TURNED OFF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND WILL SELL ACCORDINGLY.

HAVE A GM RECALL FROM JULY 2016 ON REPLACING FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONTACTED GM RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT RECALL INCOMPLETE BECAUSE GM HAS NOT HEARD FROM INFORMATION FROM NHTSA REGARDING PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALLY. SO HOW ARE WE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND INSURE THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE SAFE IF DEPLOYED? CONSUMER IS BEING LEFT BEHIND ON THIS ISSUE OF SAFETY AND GM AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE DOING NOTHING FOR OVER 4 YEARS NOW. THIS ISSUE WITH GM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND CONSUMERS SAFETY TAKEN SERIOUSLY. NO MORE GM PRODUCTS FOR THIS HOUSEHOLD, AS THEY ARE PASSING THE BUCK AND NOT LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR CONSUMERS. AND GOV'T (NHTSA) ISN'T MOVING QUICKLY ON THIS ISSUE EITHER.

PLEASE FINALIZE THE DECISION ON RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SEVERAL YEARS FOR AN OUTCOME. EVERY TIME I CHECK ON THE RECALL, I AM ADVISED (WHETHER IT BE BY GM OR NHTSA) THAT THE RECALL IS "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." APPARENTLY, GM FILED A PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND THE DETERMINATION OF THAT PETITION HAS BEEN HANGING IN LIMBO FOR YEARS. PLEASE EITHER APPROVE IT OR DENY IT. WELL OVER A YEAR AGO, I CONTACTED GM AND THEY INSISTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFER TO DRIVE. MEANWHILE, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE OCCURRING DUE TO NUMEROUS US DEATHS RELATED TO THE AIRBAGS. NHTSA HAS NOT MADE A DETERMINATION. I WENT SO FAR AS TO CONTACT MY STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY COULD NOT COMMENT. PLEASE RESOLVE AND CAUSE GM TO ADVISE CONSUMERS. THANK YOU!
