Takata recall - bought 2008 truck new and i live in oklahoma. It is very hot here in the summers. Higher risk in hot climates and my vehicle has been exposed approximately 9 years. I have called the dealer three times over the last 15 months and they refer me to gm cust svc. Today cust svc tells me the same crap - they have not figured out what to do.

This has been going on for over 1 1/2 years now. Airbags have not deployed, but am not comfortable continuing driving a vehicle that nhtsa deems unsafe.
