Takata recall...I was notified in july 2016 of a recall on takata airbag inflators installed in my vehicle. This recall stated that the propellant in the inflator can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. When this propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflator can rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries. As of november 2017, there is still no remedy available for this recall for a defective item that could result in death for me or my family. I have called about the availability of a remedy several times, with the most recent call taking place in august 2017, when I was assured that the solution would be available by the end of october. It is still not available. I live in alabama and have owned my truck for 7 years, so my airbag propellant has been exposed to the exact conditions and length of exposure that could result in death as stated in the recall furthermore, it angers me that the recall states that this propellant, when exposed to hot and humid conditions for an extended period of time, could result in death but then goes on to state that "the vehicle is presently safe to drive". I think that gm and takata have had plenty of time to establish a remedy for the problem. It is obvious to me that neither company cares about the safety of their customers. Some action needs to be taken against these companies to ensure that they take action to repair these potentially deadly problems.

Takata inflators. In june of 2016, the warning light for an airbag system function came on. I had to replace one of the sensors that had malfuntioned near the front bumper that activates the deployment of the airbags - at my own expense. Upon researching this issue, I found a lot of owners of similar silverados experienced this same part problem. Then, I received gm recall 49152 in july, 2016 stating that "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". Since I live in north carolina and the truck stays parked outside 24/7, I'm concerned about my safety and anyone riding with me. While what has been warned has not occurred yet, I'm concerned that it could at any time - especially considering how the many of the airbag deployment sensors like mine that went bad seem to be faulty.
"takata recall" it has been over a year since notification of a recall for the faulty airbag inflator with no remedy available or even planned as far as I can tell. Just got a new notification that takata has filed for bankruptcy! Now what??

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v383000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer (bridgewater chevrolet, 1548 us-22, bridgewater, nj 08807, (732) 356-2460) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available so the contact was unable to determine when the remedy and repair parts may be supplied to the dealer from the manufacturer. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the contacts vehicle would receive the recall repair. The contact was not experiencing a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
We received notice in july of 2016 of the airbags being defective, and that we would be notified when parts are available to remedy my vehicle. However, we never received that notice. It offered me to check with my local dealer for updates, and to check their website. Every time I checked the website, it read it still read remedy not available. It still says that today. I also tried calling my local dealer, lou bachrodt chevrolet buick months ago. They told me it was still under investigation and they (takata) have until august or september of 2017 to come up with an action plan or a result. Today I received a notice in the mail from tk holdings, that takata has filed chapter 11. The resale value of my truck is highly deteriorated. How can I sell it to someone knowing the airbags are defective? This is terrible and I need this resolved, and want to be compensated for the risk I've continued to put myself and my family at.
