2016 recall of airbags still not replaced

Takata recall, gm still has no recall action on this they have no fix available for the replacement of these air bags. the gm recall number is 2049151. gm is contesting this recall because they do not have enough evidence to justify the replacement of these defective airbags. i have not been involved in an accident with this vehicle i just want the airbags replaced as recommended by takata and in the nhtsa recall number 16v381. received a notice of recall from gm on may 27, 2016 advising me of the recall stating that gm considers the vehicle safe to drive and the status of the recall is "incomplete, remedy not yet available" gm is still protesting this recall and has not received a final ruling from the nhtsa on its position that the gm vehicles are safe to drive. i believe that gm is stalling and should be required to replace these defective airbags.

Takata recall my vehicle was subject to the takata airbag recall in may 2016. 30 months have passed and there is still no remedy available. i contacted my local gm dealer who told me there is nothing they can do. i find it ridiculous that this issue still has not been resolved. when will a remedy be available so that i can get this apparent safety issue fixed?

Takata recall date is may 27, 2016 yet i just received a letter in mid august informing me that chevrolet is further delaying addressing the problem. the danger of serious injury and fatality from these airbags is well documented, my truck is over 7 years old in an extremely hot climate (texas--116 degrees recently) which increases risk and yet chevrolet is delaying--doubtless in hopes more vehicles will age out and reduce their costs--despite the risk of death of their customers this delay entails. please insist chevrolet quickly move to address this potentially fatal risk ideally prioritizing vehicles that are older and in hotter climates since that seems to the highest risk groups. i am disgusted with general motors and my next vehicle will be a tesla because tesla accept responsibility and address safety issues without delay. please aggressively require this recall on a dangerous product whose manufacturer (takata) has admitted the problem. the necessity has been clearly established in other cases and chevrolet's only possible reason for delay is that they prioritize avoiding expense to correct their mistake over customer's lives.
