    Takata recall - recall was issued 5/27/16 and chevrolet dealer in ocala and recall website told me there is no remedy yet. I think since more than 1 1/2 years have passed that this is an excessive period of time to have come up with a remedy when my safety is at risk and does this affect the value of my vehicle for trade-in or resale?

    Takata recall. I own a vehicle that has the takata airbags installed and i have not been notified that gmc will fix my vehicle. Gmc has not taken action on this recall, they filed a petition of inconsequentiality. Many manufacturers have issued recalls for the takata airbag inflators and fixed the affected cars. Gmc needs to fix these airbags to prevent further injury.
