Problems with 2009 GMC Sierra 1500 AIR BAGS

Takata recall

Gay pontiac keep scheduling appointments and cancelling. today i was in the parking lot when they called me to cancel. gmc sent safety recall july 2016. they said i can't get it fixed at this time. this threatens my safety. i need this fixed now.

Takata recall i was notified in july of 2016 by gmc of a possible issue with takata airbags. i was told there was no current solution and to wait. i waited one year (2017) and called again and was told nothing has changed. i did that again in 2018 as well and was told there were no updates. around the time of my second call in 2018, i started getting airbag warning lights and message from the vehicle. i contacted gm corporate in regards to the issue assuming it has to do with the recall. i was told by gm corporate that in no way would they be willing or able to assist or pay for any of the cost of getting this resolved and that i would be required to everything myself. i might be able to get reimbursed if the recall finally went through, but if the recall went through after i sold the vehicle they would not reimburse me. i contacted a local dealership that was not willing to help with costs either and was told it would probably be $300 to diagnose the problem plus costs of repair. i've also attempted to sell the vehicle but have had buyers back out due to the open recall or offered me below market value for the truck because of the recall. thereby causing as of right now "permanent diminished value" i personally feel like gm is dragging their feet knowing that if they can wait long enough the number of vehicles will drop off the roads causing the repairs to be cheaper.

Indicator light in dash telling me an airbag issue. dash also stating to have airbag serviced.

Takata recall contacted dealer about recall and was told "hasn't been determined what parts are defective and parts are not available." really?? so, i'm assuming all production of new vehicles have stopped since they don't have parts available.

Continue waiting on airbags for my vehicle, and was told on 03/20/18 the my vehicle there is no remedy! really, and what am i suppose to do continue to ride in danger of my life or passengers life? this is ridiculous. no answer from any dealership or the company. who helps us?

Takata recall - airbag not available to be replaced. feel unsafe due to this recall. whom do we direct lawsuits to, if seriously injury or death occurs, due to big companies, using poor cheap quality materials. recall has been as long as may 2016. dealership keeps saying, they don't have the part.

Vehicle will randomly show a warning signal for stabiltrack turning off. then it will cycle door locks up and down, turn on the air bag light, abs light, and sometimes reduce power to 20 mph. it will also kill the vehicle gauges. numerous trips to the shop have failed to correct the issue. a quick google search of stabiltrack 2009 chevy/gmc will show a ton of hits. due to the safety concerns of these critical systems powering down, this is clearly a safety issue. this occurs while the vehicle is in motion, which makes it more concerning. this issue started with 66k miles and has persisted. vehicle now has 96k.
