In owners' own words
Takata recall: I want this airbag replaced!! This airbag has been under recall since 05/2016. Gm filed for inconsequentiality and your website says it should have been reviewed and decided by 2017. It is now 08/2018, but today, gm says no remedy is available, still. This airbag is a potential loaded shotgun pointed at my passengers. I need a remedy for this airbag asap! I think we have been patient enough!!!! Air bags
