2010 Pontiac Vibe owner complaints

Takata recall we received a recall notice in july of this year, stating that parts for our vehicle were not available. The recall also stated it was not safe for a passenger to ride in the passenger side front seat. We called our local dealer in december of this year, and were told parts were still not available. This vehicle is used to transport special needs children and young adults by our daughter, who works for midwest easter seals. Her job requires transportation of these clients, and not having the ability of the front passenger seat is a severe hindrance. We would appreciate any help to make this process go quicker. Due to the length of time and inconvenience of this recall, is there any way that she could obtain a loaner vehicle until this recall is satisfactorily complet

Why can't they provide the needed repair it's been almost 1 year. My family is in danger.

Takata recall. Company is not doing enough for customers to remedy the situation. Recall letter is july 2016, this has been 4 months without the use of my front seat. I've called both my local dealership as well as gm corporate and they are unwilling to provide a rental or loaner while I wait. They are literally robbing me of full use of my car. They are also unwilling to provide any kind of time table as to when parts will be ready. The company should provide a rental for such trouble since I have many time had to borrow a friend car when I need to carry more passengers as putting 3 people in the back seat is horribly uncomfortable and having 5 is now impossible. They are not fixing this condition in a reasonable time frame. *tr

2010 Pontiac vibe. S10 appropriate handling- letter from regarding Toyota problems *tgw the consumer stated when starting out from idle, if he barely touches the accelerator it starts out very slowly or not at all if the vehicle is in reverse from a downhill position. Then if he press slightly more, the engine drops into a lower gear and the vehicle surges. On a wet street, the wheels spin and the vehicle almost goes out of control. In reverse, especially from a downhill position, at first there is no movement of the wheels, then if he applies the accelerator slightly more the vehicle surges to the rear, leaping 6 to 8 feet. The consumer learned his make, model and year vehicle was recalled for accelerator pedal issues. *jb
