I had a recall on my 2008 silvarodo to replace passenger side airbag. I recieved a letter saying parts were in and to make an appointment to have it replaced. I made appointment with victory chevolet in charlotte to have work done. When I got there they said they did not have the parts and would call when they came in. Why make an appointment just to hear them say "we don't have the parts"

This vehicle has an outstanding recall since may 2016. Manufacturer recall # 2049151, the federal safety agency 16v381. This repair is still not complete. Dealer tells me that parts are not available yet and there is no eta for repair parts. What is a reasonable time frame to expect that my vehicle will be made safe?
This vehicle has a recall that is acknowledged by the dealership but I have been told for 3 years that there are no parts to fix it
In my garage, I randomly started vehicle and the dash indicator light indicates a problem with the airbag system and stays on. This happened a few months ago and still indicates a problem every time the vehicle is started and used.
Started my vehicle to move it in the driveway this past saturday and before I was able to shift into gear the driver and passenger airbags deployed without warning. No collision, etc. The vehicle wasn't even out of park yet. Sounded like a shotgun went off in the cab of the truck. Luckily I was not leaned forward attempting to shift gears or I would have caught the full force of the deployment to my face. Took quite a hit to the chest and stomach area. Extremely fortunate this happened in the driveway and not while driving at highway speeds in traffic. Upon research found a pending recall which hasn't been resolved yet by the federal safety agency. This issue is real and extremely dangerous. I could have been seriously injured or injured others if this happened while driving. I am now stuck with 2 deployed airbags and if I wish to repair several thousands of dollars to fix problem. Gm needs to make this right and repair. If the manufacturer takata has identified a problem with the air bag deployment system provided and utilized by gm this should be repaired by gm.

We have not received a notification when the recall for takata airbags will be will be resolved
I was notified in july 2016 of a recall of my 2008 chevy silverado for defective airbags. So far I have not received any notification to rectify this problem. Has the problem been resolved? I think 4-1/2 years is long enough.
Dash board cracks everywhere! I been using sun reflector sinc a bought the truck but cracks still coming out cheap material!!!
A battery icon comes on my dash with a message about the battery charging system needs to be serviced. It does not matter if the vehicle is stationary or driving this comes on for long enough to read then goes off. The tires pressure sensor is giving a messages as well about needing servicing. The driver's seatbelt latch has stopped allowing the clip to enter I was parked at the time this happened. I have since then tried to spray white lithium to get it moving since I did not have wd40.there was no success. I still have not been able to get the airbag recall fixed.
Two cracks in the dash have formed. One on the drivers side and one on the passengers side. The crack on the passengers side travels from the dash air bag to the top joint between the two dash pieces. The crack on the drivers side travels from the joint between the two dash pieces towards the driver along the left side of the instrument portion of the dash. Notice the crack on the drivers side when sitting stationary in my driveway and then finding the crack on the passengers side.
My vehicle was in motion one day and I was driving on the interstate and all power in the truck was gone the radio reset the gauges started to go up and down and the airbag light was flashing and saying service airbag. I figured it was a electrical problem so I got a new battery and it still did it so I I put a new ground wire and it still continued to do it and got all new battery cables and still nothing and when it all resets and I turn it off I have to jiggle the positive wire for it to start

Airbag recall hasn't been fixed for quite a while (> a year?)
Dealer states that the parts are not available.it has been 4 yrs since I first tried to get this air bag replaced.
O'reilly chevrolet dealer listed on recall was contacted with almost ridiculous results. First phone call was told person who handled recalls was ou, would return call, never happened. Called later same person said they would assist but I needed a recall number. I had no such number but I did have VIN, after several minutes on hold I was told ther was a recall but I would need to bring vehicle in to determine what was necessary to schedule an appointment for repair. Arrived at service department to line of cars and waiting room full of customers, approximately 1/2 hour wait. Turned off passenger airbag and will sell accordingly.
Passenger airbag recall due to takata's supply to gm has been identified they are are defective and gm was given till august 2017 and nothing to date has been done to rectify this defective finding. Docket no. The federal safety agency-2016-0124. Upon previous calls to gm they are dismissing this recall; however, the recall notice is on my license plate renewal form, searchable on the internet and the federal safety agency website and yet no one is holding gm accountable for every 2007-2008 gm owner (certain 2007-2008 cadillac escalade, escalade esv, escalade ext, chevrolet avalanche, silverado 1500, suburban, tahoe, gmc sierra 1500, yukon, and yukon xl vehicles) whom are at risk.
No remedy for takata air bags no notice of fixing unsafe problem with them from manufacture owned truck sence new
