In owners' own words
Received recall notice and have been waiting ever since for GM to actually follow through with the recall. They donât seem to care and I have two vehicles that falls under the recall. How the government hasnât stepped up knowing that this issue can cause death is beyond me. Whatâs the point of a national recall if the manufacture isnât forced to do something about the recall? No more GM products in my future. Air bags
