Takata recall my service airbag light came on recently. I called the dealer and they gave me the run around. They first said my recall noticed expired and when I called another time they said the recall had been taken care of. I was not ever once notified by the dealer that they "fixed" a recall. I had someone run the diagnostics test on Friday and it said it was the driver's airbag shortening bar (recall# 12661). I spoke to gm and they contacted the dealership I go to and the dealership refuses to fix it. They said I have to pay for it. They just want their money! this is an obvious manufacturer issue that the dealership should take care of! my safety does not concern them. The recall specifically says if the bar and terminals are contacting each other at the time of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal airbag, that airbag will not deploy, increasing the driver's risk of injury. The dealer should take care of this issue! my safety should be their priority!.
