I'VE BEEN WAITING ALMOST A YEAR FOR GM, TOYOTA, AND TAKATA TO COME UP WITH A FIX TO THEIR AIRBAG PROBLEM, NHTSA # 19V627. HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT? GM'S THOUGHTS? "RECALL STATUS: INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE"

I RECEIVED THE SECOND SAFETY RECALL (NHTSA ID NUMBER 19V627) REGARDING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG FOR THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER, 2019 AND THERE STILL IS NO RESOLUTION. DON'T YOU THINK THAT IT'S TIME FOR NHTSA TO PRESS THIS ISSUE WITH GM AND/OR TAKATA?

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED WITH THE SAME RECALLED AIRBAG BY DEALER SAYING THE RECALLED PROBLEM WAS REPAIRED. NOW I FIND OUT 4 YEARS LATER THAT THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED.

WHEN I CALLED GM'S CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER I WAS GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER. I BELIEVE THAT 11 MONTHS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT FOR A REPAIR OF A SAFETY DEFECT. ARE YOU AWARE THAT GM IS NOT FIXING THESE PROBLEMS?

WE OWN A PONTIAC VIBE, MY FRIEND OWNED A TOYOTA MATRIX. THESE CARS WERE BUILT SIDE BY SIDE BY GM. THIS IS WHY THE GM'S OF THE USA WILL LOSE TO TOYOTA IN SALES BECAUSE THE MATRIX RECALL WAS FINISHED IN FEB 2020. MY VIBE IS STILL WAITING FOR THE NEW AIR BAG. I WENT TO TOYOTA DEALER AND THEY AGREE THE MATRIX AND VIBE USE SAME PARTS. THEY CAN NOT PERFORM RECALL BECAUSE GM HAS TO DO IT. WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT YEARS FOR A FIX.NYSI STATES TOYOTA.

I CALLED GMC TO COMPLAIN THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE AS THE AIRBAG IS NOT SECURE IN THE VEHICLE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE.

A COMPLIANT ABOUT A RECALL. A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY SON TOOK THE 2006 PONTIAC VIBE INTO A CHEVROLET DEALER IN MAYFIELD, KENTUCKY FOR A RECALL. YOUR RECORDS SHOULD SHOW WHAT WAS DONE. I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO CLOSED RECALLS. A FEW DAYS LATER THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I JUST GOT THOUGH TAKING THE VIBE INTO A DEALERSHIP A WEEK AGO, COURTESY BUICK. THEY SAID IT NEEDED A COMMUNICATION MODULE 1.5/6583. AFTER SPENDING 900+ DOLLARS ON THE PART AND LABOR, THEY THEN TOLD US THAT A STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG COIL ASSEMBLY WAS ALSO SHORTED OUT. THEY DID NOT TELL US THAT THE ORIGINAL PART MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT WOULD BE ANOTHER 300+ DOLLARS FOR THIS PART AND THEY COULD NOT SAY THAT WOULD FIX THE AIR BAG. OUR AIR BAGS WERE FUNCTIONING UNTIL THE NEW PART WAS PUT INTO THE OLD SYSTEM. WE DID NOT SPEND MORE MONEY TO FIX THE VIBE. WE ALSO HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS A VIBE AND HE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE ARE TOO MANY PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAGS. WE NEED TO KNOW THAT A SAFETY FEATURE IS A SAFETY FEATURE. LIVES ARE AT STAKE. WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP FIX THIS PROBLEM. TELL FRIENDS COMPLAINTS TO ?. THANK YOU.

SHE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS SO I CALLED AND GOT THE RUN AROUND AND FINALLY TRANSFERRED TO WATSON CHEVROLET FOR REPAIRS. APRIL 14, 2016 I SPOKE TO WATSON AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD HAVE THE PART. I CALLED TODAY MAY 4, 2016 AND THE PART IS STILL ON BACKORDER. MEANWHILE THIS VEHICLE IS BEING USED AND NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. HOW LONG WILL WE HAVE TO WAIT TO GET THIS FIXED?

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON & OFF WHENEVER IT FEELS LIKE IT. MY MOTHER JUST GOT THIS CAR & IT SHOULD NOT BE DOING THIS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS WITH IT BEING ACCURATE.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS RECALL IS NOW APPROXIMATELY 1.5 YEARS FROM THE TIME IT WAS ISSUED. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO (A FULL YEAR AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED) I FINALLY RECIEVED A NOTICE FROM PONTIAC INFORMING OF THIS RECALL.

I CALLED TODAY AND SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE AT PONTIAC/GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO INFORMATION THAT THEY CAN PROVIDE AND NO TIMELINES AVAILABLE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A LARGE RECALL AND IT AFFECTS A LOT OF VEHICLES, BUT FRANKLY THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR COUPLE YEARS AGO. I AM AT ABOUT 150000 MILES . MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF THIS WHOLE YEAR. COUPLE WEEKS AGO I GOT 2 OPINIONS TO.GET IT CHEVKED.OUT. THE FIRST SPOT GAVE ME A ESTIMATE OF ABOUT 2500 & SECOND PLACE ABOUT THE SAME. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A GLITXH IN THE 2006 PONTIAC VIBE TRANSMISSUON & COMPUTER. I DRIVE ABOUT AN HOUR TO WORK EVERYDAY. I DO NOT FEEL ANY DIFFERENCE WHEN I DRIVE BUT I DEFINITELY DO NOT FEEL SAFE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN OFF BUT IT IS CURRENTLY ON AGAIN. I HAVE CHECKED GAS CAP & IT SECURE. I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD THIS CAR FOR A LONG TIME. THE CHECK LIGHT SHOULD NOT BE COMING ON AT 150000. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT MY.MOTHER AND I HAVE & WE DEFINITELY CAN NOT AFFORD TO BUY OR FIX. TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN DOING RESEARCH AND I HAVE NOT GOT INTO AN ACCIDEN BUT I DO NOT WANT MY AIRBAGS TO NOT WORK IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN..THIS IS NOT SAFE. I NEED THIS FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL, RE: PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM WONDERING WHEN THE CARS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL WILL BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. IT IS QUITE ANNOYING TO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF MY CAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT, IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAG MAY CAUSE ISSUES, EVEN WITHOUT A PERSON IN THAT SEAT. I RECEIVED A NOTICE DATED JULY 2015 AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FURTHER NOTICE. I LOOKED ONLINE, AND NO REMEDY IS YET AVAILABLE.

ON JUNE 16, 2015, TOYOTA ISSUED AN EXPANDED RECALL ON AIRBAGS IN A WIDE RANGE OF THEIR VEHICLES. MY 2006 PONTIAC VIBE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 10, 2015 AND NO RESOLUTION IS IN SITE. THIS IS A POSSIBLY LIFE-THREATENING CONDITION IN THE VEHICLE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. WHAT IS THE NHTSA DOING TO HOLD TOYOTA AND GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS INEXCUSABLE DELAY? I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT YET, NOR DO I WANT TO. ARE WE WAITING FOR MORE LIVES TO BE IRREPARABLY HARMED FOR SOME ACTION TO TAKE PLACE? I AM USING THIS COMPLAINT FORM AS THE ONLY AVENUE I AM AWARE OF TO FILE A GRIEVANCE IN THIS MATTER.

I OWN A 2006 PONTIAC VIBE I PURCHASED FROM A DEALER IN 2009. I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH IT SHIFTING HARSHLY,ROLLING BACKWARD ON HILLS AT A STOP AS A MANUAL WOULD WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. I HAD IT LOOKED AT A LOCAL DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM SO I JUST HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT AS IT IS. NOW YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING UP A HILL AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED SO I QUICKLY PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON PUT IT IN GEAR AND IT TOOK OFF. I WAS FORTUNATE THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC IN THOSE FEW MINUTES. I DID RECEIVE AN ADVISORY LETTER LAST FALL SO I CALLED GM ON THE ISSUE AND THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT EVERYONE THAT OWNS A VIBE GOT THOSE LETTERS AND MY CAR WAS NOT ONE UNDER RECALL BUT SINCE I WAS HAVING ISSUES I WAS TO TAKE IT INTO A DEALER TO BE FIXED AT MY OWN EXPENSE AND FILL OUT A REIMBURSEMENT FORM. ID LIKE TO KNOW HOW IS IT THAT MY CAR JUST HAPPENED TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THAT WAS LISTED IN THE RECALL ADVISORY BUT ISN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? AND HOW IS IT THAT THEY KEEP TELLING US THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE. I EVEN SPOKE TO ONE DEALER THAT TOLD ME HE WAS INFORMED BY GM WHEN HE SPOKE TO THEM RECENTLY THAT IF SOMEONE'S CAR HAS SERIOUS ISSUES SUCH AS STALL OUT AND WONT START THAT WE ARE TO DROP IT AND LEAVE IT UNTIL THE PART IS AVAILABLE. I JUST WANT TO DRIVE MY CAR SAFELY ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS,BUT IT SEEMS THAT I AM GETTING A RUNAROUND FROM GM BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY CARS INVOLVED AND THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR THE PROBLEM OURSELVES. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER A MANUFACTURERS VOLUNTARY RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,236. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I PURCHASED A USED PONTIAC VIBE WITH APPROXIMATELY 30,000 MILES. WE STARTED NOTICING THAT THE CAR WAS SHIFTING ROUGHLY AND MAKING STRANGE SOUNDS LAST SUMMER. WE HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING REGULAR SERVICE WITH OUR MECHANIC, WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IN SEPT OF 2010 , WE RECEIVED THE RECALL ABOUT THE PCM FROM GM. PART OF THE RECALL MENTIONED ' HARSH TRANSMISSION SHIFTING'. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER FOR PONTIAC THREE TIMES OVER THE COURSE FOUR MONTHS, ASKING WHEN THE RECALL WOULD OCCUR; I RECEIVED NO ANSWER. I FINALLY TOOK THE CAR INTO AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALER ( SOMEWHAT OUT OF MY NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE THEY HAVE MOSTLY GONE OUT OF BUSINESS.) HE INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD MOST LIKELY NEED TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A COST OF $6500. I ASKED IF THE PCM WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. HE REPLIED THAT IT WOULD COST $5000 TO REALLY DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AND THAT I AM FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. I DID NOT AGREE TO THE WORK. IS THERE NOT SOME SET TIME LIMIT THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS TO RESPOND? WE HAVE HAD THE CARE IN THE GARAGE FOR THREE MONTHS WAITING FOR GM

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE VEHICLE EARLIER IN NOVEMBER, STATING THESE WERE 2 OF THE SIGNS OF THE DEFECTIVE PART. I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER ON THE RECALL NOTICE AND THE PONTIAC REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THE REPAIR WORK HAD NOT BEGUN ON THE RECALL, THE REPRESENTATIVE ALSO TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT ONE BEING RECALLED. I ASKED WHY I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND SHE TOLD ME ALL VIBE OWNERS GOT THE NOTICE AND I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I CALLED A LOCAL PONTIAC DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THIS CONDITION WAS NOT UNSAFE OR DETRIMENTAL TO THE VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT STALLED, NOR HAS THE ENGINE DIED. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THE CAR OF THE PAST WEEK - I OWN AN EXTRA CAR. I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH THE PONTIAC 800 NUMBER AGAIN AND AFTER GETTING THE SAME "BE PATIENT" RESPONSE, I ASKED TO SPEAK WITH A SUPERVISOR - THIS TIME I WAS INFORMED MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE CLOSEST PONTIAC DEALERSHIP. MY COMPLAINT IS, 1) WHY DID THE FIRST PONTIAC REP. GIVE ME THE STALL AND DELAY ANSWER BEFORE THANKSGIVING AND I RECEIVED THE SAME ANSWER TODAY 12-4-10 UNTIL I SPOKE WITH A SUPERVISOR? 2) WHY AREN'T THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR AN IMMEDIATE FIX IF THE COMPANY KNOWS IT'S A DEFECTIVE PART? I ALSO OWN A 2008 PONTIAC VIBE WITH THE SAME RECALL NOTICE THAT I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED ANY PROBLEMS TO DATE. I WOULD HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR BEFORE THANKSGIVING IF I WERE GIVEN THE CORRECT INFORMATION. *TR

EARLIER LAST WEEK I STARTED HEARING A CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND MY GLOVEBOX, AND UPON REMOVING THE GLOVEBOX DISCOVERED THAT THE DOOR THAT ALLOWS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE AIR INTO THE ACTUATOR (I THINK THIS IS CORRECT) IS CLICKING OPEN AND CLOSED. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON PONTIAC VIBES, I DISCOVERED THAT LITERALLY HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM.

I ACCELERATE IN ANTICIPATION OF A HILL ON CA-13 IN OAKLAND CALIFORNIA. WHEN I NEAR THE CREST OF THE HILL, I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS, AS THE ACCELERATION CONTINUES AND THE REVS SHOOT FROM ~3000 TO ~4500 - 5000. I NEED TO SWITCH THE CAR TO NEUTRAL TO CORRECT THIS. NOTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BRING DOWN THE REVS. I DO THIS DRIVE ONCE A DAY AND HAVE SINCE 2006, IT HAPPENS MAYBE EVERY 2 MONTHS, SO MAYBE 1 IN 50 TIMES I GO OVER THIS PARTICULAR HILL. I BELIEVE THE COMBINATION OF DOWNHILL, ACCELERATION, AND UPHILL MESSES UP THE THROTTLE CONTROLS SOMEHOW. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2006 PONTIAC VIBE SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 79 IN RURAL PENNSLVANIA WHEN THE BRAKES SOUNDLY FAILED TO RESPOND. I STEPPED ON THE PEDDLE BUT THE CAR FAILED TO SLOW, AND THE CRUISE CONTROL FAILED TO DISENGAGE. TO AVOID AN HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, I SWERVED INTO THE SHOULDER, CONTINUING TO APPLY THE BRAKES. AS I TRIED TO SLOW, THE CAR FISHTAILED AND I SKIDDED INTO THE INTERSTATE AGAIN AND HIT THE OPPOSITE GUARDRAIL. ANTILOCK BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. FINALLY, WHEN I CRASHED, THE CAR'S AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, DESPITE THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR CAVING IN (RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF THE CAR). FORTUNATELY, I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT AND DID NOT STRIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO NONE ONE WAS HURT, BUT THE CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW WOULD RATTLE GOING UP OR DOWN AND THEN PROGRESSED TO NOT GOING COMPLETELY UP OR COMPLETELY DOWN WHEN I PRESSED THE BUTTON.

I FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM IS A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) WHICH HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON IT, #050604074; NHTSA ITEM # 10020810. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED FURTHER INTO MY TRIP TO WORK I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN HEAVY VOLUME TRAFFIC WITH NO CHANCE AT EVASIVE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNABLE TO BE DROVE WHILE MOVING. A PERSON WITH LESS DRIVING ABILITY WOULD PROBABLY CRASHED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN WHEEL, ETC. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
