"takata recall" the Chevrolet dealership has not been able to replace our airbags because they have not received replacements. All they tell me is that they have been waiting for these to be manufactured since 2016!!! so what happens in the meantime? do we drive around with these defective airbags hoping that they don't kill us? no one is giving us answers! the fact that this is dragging on for so long is ridiculous considering someone can be killed or seriously hurt by these airbags.

55 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/30/2017

Since submitting my previous safety complaint, my "service airbag system" message is now displayed continuously and longer intermittently displayed. I have also received written correspondence from takata announcing their chapter 11 filing and confirmation that my vehicle may have a defective airbag. The notice also advised me to schedule an appointment with a local car dealer to get the defect repaired at no cost to me. I scheduled an appointment on 10-30-2017 for the repair work but was told by the dealership that they could not complete the repairs as "gm has not issued a fix yet". What is taking gm so long to address this clear, well documented safety threat? it has been at least a year since my vehicle was added to the recall. Should I not drive the vehicle? can the airbag be disabled? gm is not offering any timeframe for resolution nor are they providing guidance on what car owners should do while they finalize a solution. I do not have the money to pay for this out of pocket and do not have an alternative form of transportation.
