  TAKATA RECALL - HAVE BEEN CONTACTING OUR DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE REQUESTING NEW AIRBAGS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN RESPONDING THAT THE RECALL IS STILL NOT REQUIRED, THAT THE MANUFACTURER WAS FIGHTING THE RECALL. WE HAVE EVEN STATED THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENTS AND GET A REIMBURSEMENT LATER. HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. ARE ON A WAITING LIST. SINCE WE WERE JUST WANTING OUR FREE REPLACEMENTS, WE WERE NOT TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE BANKRUPTCY. HAD IT ON OUR CALENDAR FOLLOW UP BEFORE 2018. CHECKED THE WEBSITE TODAY, TURNS OUT THE DEADLINE WAS THE 27TH OF DECEMBER. WE DON'T WANT TO BE IN A LAWSUIT. WE JUST WANT OUR CAR TO BE SAFE. WE EVEN ASKED THAT OUR AIRBAGS BE DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. ANY HELP POSSIBLE? THANK YOU.

  USING REMOTE START CAUSED THE HEATED SEATS TO BURN OUT. THERE WAS AN ODOR OF ELECTRICAL BURNING. THE CONTROL MODULE UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS VISIBLE SIGNS OF BURNING OR BURNT OUT. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THIS IS CLEARLY A FIRE HAZARD. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND REMOTE START USED.

  FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THAT THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED.THAT BEING SAID YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A PERSON WOULD BE FRUSTRATED WHEN THEY DISH OUT AN ESTIMATED 700 DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS ONLY TO BE FACING THE SAME ISSUE NO MORE THAN A YEAR LATER.THE PROBLEM IS WITH GM'S HEATED SEAT DESIGN. THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED ISSUE; DOING A QUICK SEARCH WILL BRING SEVERAL FORUM THREADS WITH USERS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUES.WITH THE CURRENT STATUS OF GM IN REGARDS TO FAILURE TO ACT ON POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDS, IT'S NO SURPRISE THAT THEY ARE TURNING A BLIND EYE HERE. THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WILL NOT TAKE THE TIME TO FIND THE ROOT CAUSE. SEVERAL USERS HAVE REPORTED RECURRING ISSUES EVEN AFTER THE "FIRE HAZARD" HAS BEEN FIXED/REPLACED BY THE DEALER AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THIS ISSUE HAPPENS WHEN I USE THE AUTO START FEATURE IN COLD WHETHER.I LIVE IN MINNESOTA AND THE TEMPERATURES GET RATHER COLD, IT'S REALLY NICE TO USE THIS FEATURE WHENEVER POSSIBLE, HOWEVER, WHEN USING THE AUTO START IN COLD WEATHER, SEVERAL USERS AS WELL AS MYSELF HAVE REPORTED THAT THIS IS WHAT IS CAUSING THE MELTING WIRES DUE TO RESISTANCE ISSUES RELATING TO THE COLD WEATHER. THE WIRES UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT GET SO HOT THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SMELL IT BURNING AS WELL AS VISUALLY SEE THE BURN DAMAGE UPON INSPECTING THE CONTROL UNIT WHICH IS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE SCARIEST PART OF IT ALL IS THAT NO FUSE WILL TRIP DURING THIS HAZARDOUS PROCESS. THE WIRE WILL SIMPLE MELT TO THE POINT WHERE IT WILL NO LONGER MAKE A GOOD CONTACT AND THEN "HOPEFULLY" QUIT WORKING WITHOUT CAUSING ADDITIONAL DAMAGE. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A REPORT COMES IN OF A VEHICLE BURNING TO THE GROUND, HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL BE HURT BECAUSE OF GM'S FAILURE TO ACT "AGAIN". EITHER WAY, IF IT DOES, I WILL BE CONTACTING THE NEWS AND SUPPLYING THEM THIS SUBMISSION AS PROOF THAT A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. *TR
