Service airbag on dash driving and stationary
Takata airbag recall - I received the notice but the dealership has been unable to obtain the parts for the repair for over 1 year. What is the point of a recall if there is no resolution? The airbag has been identified as defective and needs to be replaced, the dealer is willing to do the repair, but they can't obtain the replacement part.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 chevrolet avalanche.

The dealer (kendall chevrolet cadillac of eugene, 846 goodpasture island rd, eugene, or 97401) stated that the parts were unavailable for the repair.

Vin tool confirms parts not available.
I contacted a dealer to have my airbags replace due to a recall, and they said until chevrolet release a remedy that they could not fix it.
"takata recall" this recall is still open and active on my vehicle! Neither gm or takata are doing anything about this! The gm recall site still states, incomplete, remedy not yet available". This is unacceptable, how long is going to be allowed to continue unresolved? The vehicle is considered dangerous because the airbag is faulty and nothing is being done!
"takata recall" nothing has happened yet. However, we have not been in an accident. We feel like we are rolling the dice every time we use our vehicle. We have seen tv reporting where occupants have been grossly facially disfigured and or blinded from metal scraps from these airbags. Why are we being put at this dangerous risk? Since it appears, according to my chevrolet dealer, we are no closer to having a replacement. Thus, I am requesting that you give the dealership.permission to disable or remove the bag. We would rather take our chances without a dangerous air bag that could explode in our face even in a minor accident, as we have done most of our lives before air bags were mandated. Please advise!
I received an important legal " takata recall"notice that my 2008 chevy avalanche is involved in a recall for my airbags. I was instructed to log on to airbags .org. I registered my vehicle . I was instructed to contact a local auto nation chevy dealership.. It took them all day to get back with me that as of now gm has not come to a decision as on how to deal with airbags recall. I expressed my concern because that recal notice I received was pretty confident that they needed to be replaced. Gm service mgr.told me I need not be too concerned. I'm very concerned with there nonchalant attitude. Please lett me know what my options are please. Thank you, ps my airbags haven't deployed but my concern is that they have been known to self deploy for no apparent reason.

Takata recall nothing has happened, yet.
Takata recall I have called the local chevrolet dealerships numerous times inquiring about the recall and trying to get the problem serviced. They keep telling me that gm hasn't made a decision on what to do yet. This is unacceptable! It is very dangerous to have possible faulty air bags.
Takata recall is in effect, but the local dealerships said that chevrolet has not sent replacement parts. This is very irresponsible. If the airbags are not replaced, they should be removed to keep a deadly accident from happening.
Takata recall: I've called the madera, ca chevrolet and went in person. They don't want to change the airbag on the truck. Not even make an appointment. The lady that helped us said we need to wait for another letter to come in before they change it.

The dashboard is cracked and cracking worse everyday. I keep very good care of my care. It is cracked around the airbag and if in a wreck the dash will fly apart into pieces throughout the cab.
"takata recall" to date no remedy has been set in place and families are at risk. My dealership mentions they can do nothing and at this point and currently there's a crack around the passenger airbag area of my vehicle. I'm very concerned because there appears to be no sense of urgency. Please advise as I have received notification for recall replacement. Thank you.

Takata recall. The manufacturer says 'no remedy is available'. I have also called the local chevrolet dealership to try to schedule recall repair work and they also told me that no remedy is available. It is of great concern to me that this defect, which has proven fatal to some drivers, is not being repaired in a timely manner. I implore the federal safety agency to take swift and decisive action to remedy this situation (or make a determination that replacement is not necessary)
"takata recall" went to my dealer today about this and they said I have to wait until I am contacted by whom ever because takata went bankrupt and who knows if my air bags will be fixed. ## VIN failed ## chevy 2008 ##
'takata recall" no airbags available, live in a very humid area.
Dealer phillips chevy in frankfort il refused to replace because no recall from gm has been issued. Also called gm corp. They also said no recall. They said that the front right passenger should sit in the back versus the front seat to eliminate any injury. This is ridiculous, why have the vechile
Takata recall. Family safety concerns.
I have a 2008 chevy avalanche ltz, I have a problem with the dash light coming on with service air bag, wiring by the emergency brake pedal a problem. It happens when it running, stationary, when I start the truck. I took the truck to the dealership and they replaced the air bag and the air bag sensor. The light came back on and comes on intermittently. No fix as of yet. This happens all the time from march to present day still ongoing!!!!
"takata recall"
Takata recall after getting 2nd airbag recall notice saying to contact dealership to set up an appointment to have airbag replaced at no charge the dealership tells me that gm is not doing replacements. My 1st notice came in july 2016 stating telling of the recall but stating not to contact the dealership that I would hear from them later. My next notice came from takata today ( 10/24/2017 ) telling me to contact the dealership and set up the appointment to have the airbags replaced @ no charge to me but I was told gm has not given them approval for the replacement because they do not have replacements, so what do I do now.
