What owners wrote
“I have been to two dealerships and there is no remedy for this recall. I asked to have the airbag on the driver side deactivated but was told that this was not possible " legally" because it would put the dealership at risk for liability. Well, GM is at risk for liability if I'm in a crash where this airbag might deploy. Can I have this airbag deactivated while I wait for a remedy? What are my options?”

“Recall is for the airbag and shows no remedy. Dealer has not provided a fix for this recall and is unwilling to repurchase the vehicle at a fair market value.”
