TAKATA RECALL. 2/3/17 WILL MARK 1 YR SINCE NOTIFICATION OF RECALL. GM SITE SAYS WORKING QUICKLY TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENT PARTS. USE OF ADVERB QUICKLY IS INAPPROPRIATE. I NEED TO KNOW RISK FACTOR AS MY WIFE AND I HAVE A LOADED PISTOL POINTED AT OUR HEADS EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. SHOULD WE DISABLE THE SRS SYSTEM? WHAT IS THE GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF DEATHS AND INJURIES FROM EXPLODING INFLATORS? ARE THEY REALLY CONCENTRATED IN HHAS OR IS THIS JUST ANOTHER OF TANAKA'S LIES? IS FATALITY/INJURY DISTRIBUTION INFORMATION AVAILABLE? IF NOT, WHY NOT? IF THIS AIRBAG MODULE NEEDED REPLACEMENT DUE TO A NON-DEPLOYMENT DEFECT, WOULD GM HAVE THE REPLACEMENT REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE?

I RECEIVED THIS RECALL NOTICE IN MAY OF 2016. THE RECALL WAS ACTUALLY IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. I AM BEING TOLD NOW THAT THE PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SOME TIME IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2017. THE RECALL STATES THE ISSUE MAY "RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS". BECAUSE OF THIS I WILL NOT HAVE ANYONE IN MY FAMILY DRIVE THIS CAR. I CAN NO LONGER BE WITHOUT THIS CAR AND FEEL IT IS ONLY RIGHT THAT WE ARE PROVIDED A FULLY PAID RENTAL CAR UNTIL OURS CAN BE PROPERLY REPAIRED. THIS RECALL IS #15041.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE ATTACHED LETTER IN MAY, 2016. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, GM TELLS ME IT'S OK TO DRIVE. THAT'S NOT ACCEPTABLE. ATTACHED IS AN E-MAIL STRING OF MY CORRESPONDENCE WITH GM. I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR, IT'S IN STORAGE; AND I CAN'T SELL IT WITHOUT FULL DISCLOSURE, WHICH MAKES IT WORTHLESS. AND IT'S BEEN SIX MONTHS WITH NO INDICATION THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON.

SUMMARY: IN SOME VEHICLES, THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY EXPERIENCE AN ALTERATION OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVERAGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS CONDITION COULD CREATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE BODY OF THE INFLATOR RUPTURING UPON DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR ON SAAB 9-3 AND 9-5 VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL, FREE OF CHARGE.
