68 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

Takata recall it has been nearly two years since I received this recall notice. Local gm dealer and gm customer assistance claim "no parts available". This is not what I would call "resolution within a timely manner", I would like to know if it fits with your definition of "resolution withing a timely manner". Although it may be strictly "safe to drive", it is not safe to have an accident in, which is/was the entire point of having air bags. If unable to repair this vehicle, they should purchase it.
