Bought from Mckluski chevy 5 days ago they ensured my they had fixed the air bag recall, today the airbag fell out of my steering wheel. I contacted the dealership and sent them pictures and they are refusing to fix it properly. This is a major safety hazard.

We have contacted the chevrolet dealer which was Knippelmier Chevrolet of Blanchard Oklahoma about the air bag recall and they keep telling us the part to repair the recall is unavailable. This started in July of 2023... At the end of July 2023 the service airbag light was coming on and off and blinking. We have tried to call other dealerships but we get the same answer. We have also stopped driving the car as much as possible. But this is how my wife gets to and from work. This recall has gone long enough without repair for something this serious... Please let us know how to move forward... Thank you..

It’s going on three months and this has not been repair. Notice states failure to correct can cause death. This needs to be repaired now! How can this just be ignored when public safety is first and foremost? Does some one need to die before this recall is being taken care of?
