TAKATA RECALL. GM ISSUED RECALL NOTICE #2049152 ON 05/27/16 AND SENT A LETTER TO ME IN JULY 2016. DOCKET ID NHTSA-2016-0124 DOCUMENTS THE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN GM AND THE AGENCY DURING THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE UNCERTAINTY OF WHETHER OR NOT MY TRUCK MAY KILL ME BECAUSE OF AN UNRESOLVED SAFETY ISSUE IS BEYOND CONCERNING. HOW MUCH LONGER DO OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES NEED TO WAIT BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN TO PROTECT THE DRIVER'S LIFE AND RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THESE GM VEHICLES? GM OWNER'S LUCK AND PATIENCE HAVE BEEN TESTED BEYOND REASONABLE MEASURE.

1-TAKATA RECALL 2- REAR DIFFERENTIAL- I HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT 153,000 MILES. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED ON DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. IT COST ME OVER $3,000. IT HAD MANY BROKEN PARTS INSIDE OF IT. IT COULD HAVE LOCKED UP THE REAR WHEELS AND CAUSED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. THANK YOU
