AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
HI ALL, WE RECEIVE A NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO REGARDING A RECALL TO THE AIRBAGS IN OUR CAR. AT THE TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS CURRENTLY NO REMEMDY. I JUST CHECKED SAFECAR.GOV TO CHECK IF THERE WERE ANY UPDATES AND IT SAYS "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE " WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT USING THIS CAR AS RECENTLY AN ELEVENTH PERSON WAS KILLED BY THESE AIRBAGS. IS THERE SOME WAY TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS? THANKS YOU SO MUCH FOR ANY HELP YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO OFFER. SCOTT

TAKATA RECALL: TO DATE, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. ARE THEY WAITING FOR MORE PEOPLE TO DIE? THE RECALL DATE OF THIS OPEN RECALL WAS IN FEBRUARY 2016, WHICH IS NEARLY A YEAR AGO. THIS FAILURE TO REMEDY THIS "SAFETY RISK"/DEADLY PROBLEM NEARLY NINE MONTHS DEFINITELY QUALIFIES AS A NOT BEING REMEDIED IN A TIMELY MANNER. PLEASE ADVISE.

ENGINE
I HAVE WHAT I'VE SEARCHED IS THE "COLD START PROBLEM". WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE IN COLD WEATHER, IT TAKES IT A TRY OR TWO TO START, BUT UPON IGNITION, IT SPUTTERS FOR A MINUTE OR TWO AND ONCE IT WARMS, IT RUNS PERFECTLY FINE. FROM READING REVIEWS ONLINE, IT SOUNDS LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS AND IT IS THE RESULT OF THE VALVES GOING BAD, MEANING I NEED A WHOLE NEW REBUILD DONE. CAR ONLY HAS 127K MILES ON IT AND IS IN MINT CONDITION. PER THE NUMBER OF CASES I'VE READ ONLINE ABOUT THIS, IT SOUNDS LIKE THE '07-'08 MODELS WERE THE ONE'S THAT WERE DEFECTIVE IN MY CASE. BOUGHT THE CAR RECENTLY FROM A FRIEND WHO THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A FUEL PUMP ISSUE NEEDING TO BE REPLACED, WHICH I'D PAY THE FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THAT, NO PROBLEM. BUT NOW LOOKING AT CLOSE TO $3,000 TO HAVE FIXED??

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS APPRISED BY MAIL THAT THE AIRBAGS ON MY SAAB 9-3 NEED TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. EIGHT MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND THE REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. WHY MUST I CONTINUE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT MAY CAUSE INJURY OR WORSE? WHEN WILL REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS BE AVAILABLE?
