3 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2016

Takata recall: in July 2016 I received a letter from GMC ref. Gm recall 49152 which stated that I would be notified when parts are available to remedy your vehicle. I never received anything and in the meantime the airbag light came on. In the summer of this year I called the local dealership and they set up an appointment to replace the airbag because of the recall. I had to cancel that appointment because I could not make it to the appointment. I later called the dealership to setup another appointment and this time was told that GMC was not going to fix/replace the airbag. I already spent over $1200 to replace the front brake components because of extensive rust which damaged the front brake system to the extent the wheels would no longer rotate without great effort. This truck was originally owned by someone in PA, then on the eastern shore of maryland thru may 2016. There is a lot of rust on the undercarriage of this vehicle - from I assume, salt and water.
