I received a recall notice #N232404980 in June 2023 and after months of hearing from no one, I reached out to my dealership who said they had no parts to replace/repair this recall. After checking with GM today 1/17/24 they still do not have pats to repair this. This is 8 months since this recall was announced and I would think that is sufficient time to get parts to fix this. When you send someone a notice to tell them their car has a defect which has the potential to "result in injury or death to vehicle occupants" I should think they would beworking a little faster to get these parts. I am extremely unhappy with the way GM has handled this and feel like someone needs to get involved to get this resolved.

We have children and if you look at the safety risk associated with this it is serious injury or death. We would like to trade our vehicle in for a safer car but the value is greatly depreciated because of this safety recall with no remedy.
I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 6 MONTHS AGO AND THEY HAVE NOT FIXED THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE DEALERS SAY THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THE GM WEBSITE SAYS THIS SITUATION IS "UNRESOLVED". I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
