    Takata recall - dealers tells me the parts for my airbag recall are not available yet. I thought they only had 18 months or so to finalize this recall and replace it. I do not want to drive my vehicle with unsafe faulty airbags.

    I don't understand why gm can put the replacement of takata air bags off and put my family in danger. I understand other car manufactures have already started replacing the defective air bags. Don't they know there is a danger. The statement from gm to me is it is safe to drive my car. If so why do they have a recall at all?
