Takata recall air bag wasn't recalled per ray dennison chevrolet - service air bag light is on
Takata recall I have been patience waiting to have my airbags recalled. Every time I contact the car dealership that I purchased my truck, they keep telling me that my truck can't be serviced to replace my defected takata air bags. I was in an accident in feb 6th 2017. It wasn't my fault and the air bags didn't explode.

Takata recall it has been over a year since I received the recall notice with no remedy to date. While gm considers the vehicle safe to drive, the safety risk description states: "the propellant in some types of takata airbag inflators can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. If the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries". This does not sound safe to me, especially since I live in sugar land, tx where there are long periods of high heat and humidity which effects the airbag degradation. Can anyone help finalize the situation and get this recall taken care of? Thank you! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'

The dash is cracked around the airbag. It seems if this vehicle is involved in a crash, this brittle dash could end up being sharp shrapnel that will cause a lot more bodily harm than good from the airbag.
Takata recall two years and still no resolution for what is considered to be a recall that can cause either serious injury or fatality. Enough time has passed. There needs to be a resolution of this matter. I'm considering parking the vehicle for my own safety, it will be hard to sell with the airbag recall. Even if I could sell it, I will take a loss on the vehicle because of the inability to get it fixed.

Dash has cracked and broken at left top corner of passenger side airbag and over instrument panel on drivers side. Entire dash is very brittle. This could lead to serious injury or death in the event of airbag deployment. I have seen hundreds if not thousands of these complaints for all chevy and gm trucks and SUV's in this year vehicle and the years following it. Will it take a piece of dash flying through someone's jugular vein to get gm to finally care about customer safety?
Dash board cracking , around passenger airbag and above drivers dash
The dash is cracked in two places, one is right at the corner of the passenger air bag, the second is above the instrument panel. I was told this is happening in all gm trucks 2007-2013. Gm and the dealer will not fix. I am afraid that if the air bags deploy the dash will be shrapnel. And cosmetically it looks horrible and rattles. Gm needs to recall.

Takata recall approaching one year and under review!! On january 17 2017 I called gm assistance to find out the status of recall after receiving a written notice. They stated that is still under review. It is still safe to drive. Why does it take almost a year to even start and postpone under the heading of under review? Honda started the change out immediately after the notice. Are they waiting till one of the four grandchildren or wife is injured or killed? It appears that it is cheaper to have someone die than to do the correct thing of replacing a defective part. They appear to be attempting to sweep it under the rug. Please draw their attention and get things completed as they should do. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
