Unknown- I received an email from carfax alerting me there was a takata airbag recall on my car. When I called the dealership to get more information, they said at that time, there was no resolution but should have one May 24th. Today is 05/27/2023 and there is still currently no resolution. There have already been deaths and injuries resulting from this airbag issue for other makes and models. I don't feel safe knowing there could be an issue with the airbags. I am wondering how soon before there is a resolution and can rental cars be covered under warranty until repairs are made?

I am extremely uncomfortable continuing to drive my vehicle knowing there is a recall on the airbag that may cause extreme harm to passengers and there is no solution. I cannot drive my vehicle knowing the safety features that I assumed are in place are lacking. I am uncomfortable with GMs lack of solution at this point. What are my options?
