I have been trying for years to get the takata air bag replaced in my vehicle but the dealer refuses to do it.
I purchased this vehicle new and have seen notices regarding problems with the type of air bags it has for years but unable to have the problem addressed. Others I know with the same airbags have had them successfully replaced by the dealer of their vehicles, such as honda and nissan, etc. It makes no sense that an american manufacturer keeps obtaining exceptions and waivers to correct this safety issue. I am very concerned as I live in a high heat, high humidity area, florida, which is said to exacerbate the problem. It imperative the airbags be replaced immediately. Please advise regarding how this can be achieved.
The dash on the passenger side is cracked and could hurt someone if the airbags were to deploy. This is a very common issue with the 2009 silverado. Also, the lifters are very bad and will stop working if the afm isn't turned off. I thought my engie was dead when going 70 and the lifter go out. Lost all power and had to tow it to a shop. This has happened twice.
I was informed that I have a recall for the takata airbag in my 2009 silverado 1500 as of may 27, 2016. As of yet gm is saying no remedy but in the meantime I am driving an unsafe truck because I live in florida in hot humid weather and that is the factor that effects the airbags! This is a one owner vehicle that I purchased as new and I believe $ years is long enough to find a remedy!

Got a safety recall in july of 2016 about the takata air bags.as of this date 03/14/2020 nothing has been done because they don't have the replacement part.
This is a complaint about the cracks on my dash around the air bag. Over the past month they have grown and gotten worse, one is huge (about 7 inches long) and there's two more pieces in the corner about to fall out and one near the radio. I would just like gm to put a new dash in for free so I can cover it with a carpet dash and not have to worry about it. Thanks

Takata recall - it's been 3 years since I received my notice of recall on the airbags in my 2009 silverado. Now that my truck is older this concerns me even more that no fix has been made available. I want to go on record that this is unacceptable practice and needs to be corrected asap. Also my dash on the pax side is cracked at the airbag cut out, which I've read that this is also a common problem and a huge safety issue for the rider. Please please make these parts available soon. Thank you

Takata recall, I am still waiting for the recall to replace the airbags on my truck. As you probably know it has been at least two years that we received the notice of the recall. I was just at airbag recall.com and it tells me only the passigner airbag is to be replaced because of the propellant will degrade over time and could rupture and cause body harm and even fatal injury. So why does not the drivers airbag need to be changed as well? I know this isn't the only complaint that you folks have received on this matter, and as days go by we the public are in danger each time we use the vehicle, tis a sad situation.
