  TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GMC IN JULY 2016. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL. HOW CAN THEY MAKE AN ENTIRE YEAR'S WORTH OF NEW CARS AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE CURRENTLY OWNED CARS SAFE. THIS KIND OF DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

I TOLD THEM I DID NOT CARE IF NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE OR IF I HAD WORKING AIRBAGS, BUT I WANTED THE DANGEROUS INFLATORS OUT! THEY SAID NO.

  THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET NEAR HOME. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER AND I HAD TO LIMP BACK HOME. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I'M TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAS A COLLAPSED LIFTER IN CYLINDER SEVEN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW AN ENGINE CAN EXPERIENCE THAT TYPE OF FAILURE WITH ONLY 44.000 MILES. I CONTACTED GM AND THEIR STANCE IS REGARDLESS OF LOW MILEAGE, THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTEE. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SERIOUS HAZARD, BECAUSE A FAILURE LIKE THIS, IF OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL BURDEN…
