NOTHING HAS HAPPENED OTHER THAN THERE IS A CURRENT AIRBAG RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. MANY OTHER MAKES AND MODELS ALSO HAVE THIS TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE AND THEY HAVE BEEN FIXED/OR REPLACED AND THE RECALL IS LIFTED. YET CADILLAC/GM IS STILL REFUSING TO HAVE THIS DONE SO I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A VEHICLE WHICH THE NHTSA SAYS IT NOT SAFE YET CADILLAC SAYS IT IS AND NO ONE HAS TAKEN THE STEP FORWARD TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND RECENTLY PASSED AWAY IN A HORRIFYING MANNER AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS GIVE MY STEPSON WHO LIVES IN CANADA (I LIVE IN LOS ANGELES) I JUST WANT TO GIVE MY STEPSON HIS FATHERS TRUCK AND BECAUSE NO ONE WISHED TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM I AM UNABLE TO DO THIS. I SIMPLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE NHTSA CAN ALLOW US TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THEY DEEM TO BE UNSAFE YET NOT FORCE CADILLAC/GM TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM THEY FEEL IS NO PROBLEM. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POSSIBLE LAWSUIT THAT COULD BE PLACED AGAINST CADILLAC/GM AND NHTSA IF ANYONE WAS TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED BECAUSE NONE OF YOU TOOK THE STEP FORWARD TO FORCE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE SOLVED JUST LIKE TOYOTA, BMW, TESLA, SAAB AND SO MANY OTHERS HAVE DONE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO SIT IN A STATE OF LIMBO AS "INCOMPLETE/REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE. AND WHAT A NAME A PERSON WOULD MAKE FOR THEMSELVES TO PUSH THIS TO BE SOLVED. SOME HAS TO HELP ME, PLEASE! I JUST WANT MY STEPSON TO HAVE HIS FATHERS TRUCK..PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

YES MY VEHICLE IS ON THE RECALL LIST!

TAKATA RECALL LETTER RECEIVED FROM GM CADILLAC NEARLY 2 (OR 2+) YEARS AGO. HAVE BEEN TO TOM PEACOCK DEALERSHIP THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM EVERY 4-6 MONTHS SINCE THEN. TOLD EVERY TIME THAT THEY CAN'T HELP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN REPLACEMENTS BAGS WILL BE IN. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE FROM GM CADILLAC - NOT TAKATA. I WANT GM CADILLAC TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS IMMEDIATELY.

I CONTACTED MY DEALER WHEN I GOT THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. AT THE TIME THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION TO SWITCH OUT THE AIRBAGS. I RECEIVED THE CARD FROM TK HOLDINGS THIS WEEK. I HAVE AGAIN CONTACTED MY DEALER TODAY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY, SEWELL CADILLAC OF HOUSTON, DO NOT HAVE A FIX YET OR REPLACEMENT BAGS FROM GM. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE ORIGINAL CONTACT REGARDING THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. MY STRESS LEVEL WHEN I GET INTO MY VEHICLE TO DRIVE IT GOES WAY UP!!! WHAT HAPPENS IF SOMEONE COLLIDES WITH ME?
