Takata recall. My SAAB was recalled. This vehicle was built by gm. I was told by SAAB the only places that could fulfill the recall were >100 miles away. I called the facility on the other side of the state ~5 times without a return call. I'd like the get this fixed and I'm worried about driving the car with the defective airbags.

Takata recall - heard nothing from anyone on how to get this fixed. My husband is on anticoagulants - if in an accident with these airbags he could bleed to death. We need this fixed immediately. Who do we contact and how can we ensure this is done quickly?.

Takata recall. I feel very unsafe driving this vehicle, and the only information I have right now is that there is no remedy available.

Takata recall. My vehicle is affected by the current takata recall. I have received notice from SAAB months and months ago and there is still no fix available. I have a potentially life threatening projectile in front of me while I drive and a remedy needs to come sooner than later. I drive about 50,000 miles a year, I am always on the road. When I contacted my SAAB dealer they told me they won't put me in a loaner, there is no fix, and they think it will be a long time before we have one. Based on previous recalls, I tend to believe them. I would like a loaner car until this gets sorted out. I'm sure replacement parts for my SAAB are on the bottom of the priority list as its a low volume model in this giant mess.

I was informed by gm/SAAB phone representative (800-955-9007) stephanie long that because it is gm's position that the car is safe (and by implication the recall is a mistake), gm will not provide a rental car until parts are available. Gm is obviously playing the odds by deciding that one or two future death claims will be less expensive than providing replacement vehicles.

Takata recall I received the letter stating my car was included in the takata recall but the parts to fix the recall were unavailable at this time. How am I suppose to feel safe driving my car knowing in the back of my head that I may potentially die if some lunatic runs into me? I can not afford to buy a new car but I also cant afford to be carless. Are there any other options at this point? my life should not be in danger because there are no parts. This is not my fault and I believe the manufacturer should be compensating us by at least giving us a rental car until the fatal recall can be fixed.

Takata air bag and the dealer does not have the part to fix it.

Takata recall-I have called every number provided on the recall notice only to be placed on hold, and then sent to a voicemail. I called my dealership perrine auto group of cranbury NJ, who told me the airbag warning/recall was not a big deal and they had no idea when a part will be available. The recall states that deployment can release metal fragments and lead to severe bodily injury or death. I asked for a loan vehicle and was told that they will not allow a loan because gm has not authorized this.
