24 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2024

I am writing to express my alarm as to the length of time it is taking to resolve a safety recall (n232404980) on my 2016 Buick Enclave. The recall was issued in may of 2023 and 10 months later, still no fix. It gives me great pause to be driving this vehicle whose driver's front airbag could shoot projectiles into the cabin if deployed. It even states in my recall letter that this could be deadly. Recalls need to be resolved in a timely manner, and I do not feel that a 10 month wait is timely. Sincerely, bill ladage.

33 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/26/2024

I was informed of the active airbag recall on my vehicle when it was taken in on 1/26/24 to have diagnostic work done on the ac. The gm repair center would not repair the vehicle. Every person and agency I have spoken to has refused to help me because there is currently no remedy available. If there is no remedy, my airbag should simply be replaced.

34 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/26/2024

Received recall notice and have been waiting ever since for gm to actually follow through with the recall. They don’t seem to care and I have two vehicles that falls under the recall. How the government hasn’t stepped up knowing that this issue can cause death is beyond me. What’s the point of a national recall if the manufacture isn’t forced to do something about the recall? no more gm products in my future.
