GM's lack of Recall Support costs customers money

We loved our Escalade! I honestly would have replaced it with another if the third row seating had not gotten even worse in the current generation. Where I get upset is at GM's handling of the Takata airbag recall. The 2009 Escalade was listed among the first round vehicles to have Takata airbag parts recalled. However, SEVEN YEARS LATER, Cadillac STILL does not have any available fix or repairs to answer the recall!!! This outstanding recall DIRECTLY impacted the vehicle's value. Even the GM and Cadillac dealerships refused to provide book value directly due to the outstanding recall - and that's in writing from those dealerships!!! Thanks a lot, General Motors! YOU took over $2k out of my pocket due to the Takata recall!
