Takata recall. I want to pay for the recall and complete the repair at a gmc dealer. I cannot. Nobody can get parts. I want to pay for the part and pay for the repair. While the recall is in limbo, I want to drive a safe vehicle. Please order GM to have user-parts available for user-pay recall repairs - please!. I cannot be held hostage to not being able to repair. I will sign a waiver to not claim the repair price after the recall is official.

Vehicle will abruptly stop without any warning when starting to accelerate from zero up to about 10 MPH. All engine indicator lights will flash including audible warnings of malfunction. I must come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park, then proceed to restart the vehicle. A rear end collision is inevitable.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) · reported Dec 4, 2017
I already have complaint number #11025458. I wanted to continue adding. Since I filed the complaint the problem still persist and more frequent and dangerous. The check engine light still comes on then within a day or two turns off. Stays off for a few days then again on and off. It's not the oil change that has been done already. That's the only message we get when we take it to gmc to have the light checked. The excellarating still continues when I'm at a stop light. The car has turned off on me 2 times now while wanting to drive (Excellaratting to drive) the car has not wanted to turn on…
