Have been waiting for parts since may 2016. I would like this problem to be taken care of in a timely manner and it has not been.
Takata airbag recall: I have been in contact with the chevy dealership in my area regarding this recall. I have been told several times that there are no parts or resolution to this issue. Just recently on 11/29/17 I visited classic chevorlet in sugarland texas and inquired about getting the airbag serviced. The airbag service light in my vehicle has constantly stayed on for the past three months. When I get in to my vehicle the airbag service light comes on and stays on whether it is in motion or parked. I have been waiting for over a year to find out what takata will do to fix this problem. This is a safety concern for me and my family every time we get into my car. Someone needs to find the remedy for this soon before people are seriously hurt or lose their lives.
Takata recall my complaint is, this is from may 2016, why is there still not a fix in place if takata won't fix it then gm should take care of this. It's not safe. Maybe I should get a loner truck until mine is fixed. No one has answers, can someone give me an answer!!
Takata recall - has not been fulfilled. Airbags are still unsafe and potentially a hazard.
Takata recall my airbags still have not been replaced received a letter back in 2016

Can someone help me with this so it can get fixed, I don't want to get in an accedent and find out the hard way that someone dies because this was never taken care of. Why did I just get this letter and still no fix comes up. I want this done asap before someone dies......can any help with this!!
I received a recall notice from gm in the june or july 2016, took the notice to the dealership, crossroads chevrolet of joplin, mo (417)626-6620, I was told I would be notified when to bring my vehicle in to replace the airbag. Today on 1 nov 2017 I again contacted the service department, and this time I was told " we have no information on a recall. " I gave them the recall # from the gm website #2049152 the federal safety agency #16v383, I was then informed that was a bulletin for headlamp adjustment. After further discussion I was then told "gm is fighting the decision, so there is nothing available for the recall." VIN: [xxx] gm recall #:2049152 the federal safety agency # 16v383 date issued: may 27, 2016 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
Takata recall. The recall of my vehicle was announced in may 2016. I was first notified in july 2016. In the intervening year and a half, gm has been dragging its feet while takata has become insolvent and is in the process of bankruptcy reorganization and I am driving my family around in a potentially unsafe car. That is unacceptable. If the car is unsafe, gm needs to move quickly to resolve the problem so that more people are not put at risk (and left to try to collect from an insolvent manufacturer). Please do something to get this recall resolved quickly!
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 chevrolet suburban 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 (heritage chevrolet, 12420 jefferson davis hwy, chester, va 23831, (804) 748-6461) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available so the contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the remedy and repair parts may be supplied to the dealer. Initially the vehicle was added to the recall may 27, 2016 and the contact just recently received the interim notice with no eta as to when the second notice may be sent from the manufacturer indicating that the part was available which was unacceptable to the contact. The contact was not experiencing a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
"takata recall" the airbag deflate light on my truck's dashboard was triggered due to faulty airbags. Have contacted a local dealer twice only to be told that there is not a current remedy or plan in place to replace the airbags.
Dash is cracking around passenger side airbag, if its deployed the hard plastic dash fragments could be deadly
Tamara recall. Vehicle is telling me to service airbags.
The dash panel is cracking very badly on the vehicle. Especially around where the airbag is supposed to deploy. Concerned that sharp edges on the cracked plastic will impair the function of the airbag
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2008 chevrolet suburban 1500.

We were first notified of the recall in july, 2016 - 6 months have gone by and we can't get anyone at gm/chevy to provide any estimate for when the repair will be done - as I mentioned, a full 6 months has gone by and we haven't a clue how to fix this
Dash cracked in multiple places, but especially around the airbag.
Takata recall
Dashboard has major cracks around airbags and electrical components are exposed to the sun.
We need the takata airbag issue fixed for the safety of our family.
"takata recall" airbag has clearly deployed within the dashboard of the front passenger side. The entire dash all around the airbag is cracked and broken. The airbag is soft in the area where there should be an airbag. Gm is refusing that this is an airbag issue based off of pictures and is refusing to investigate further saying that is just a broken dash and I asked for an inspection which they denied. I want to ensure my safety and passengers safety so therefore will disable the front airbag as it may not engage or may sends shards of plastic into the face of my passenger if it is ever deployed.
Chevrolet dashboard cracking..... Near passenger airbag and above instrument panel
Dash has been replaced in 2010 and is now cracked in several spots including area around the passenger airbag.
Front air bag sensors always going bad. Sensors are on backorder; this tells me other people are having this problem too. This is a major safety concern. Have a 2001 ford escape (15 years old). Have never replaced a airbag sensor.
I was driving on 7th ave and a car ran a stop sign at an intersection. It was dark early morning. I hit the car coming across and drove it into a tree.the driver in the camry had to be cut out of her car . My car had the front end severely damaged. Almost $10,000 damage to my car. The airbags did not activate. I asked the body shop doing the work and the state farm insurance claims person about why they did not work and was told the accident may not have been severe enough or the angle we hit did not require them to deploy. The driver in the other car went to the hospital. And I had knee surgery. I do not know the status of her injuries. I wonder why my airbags did not deploy at such a collision and if there are other suburbans out there with the same problem the owner just doesn't know or won't know til a collision.
There is a crack on the top of the dashboard along the side of the passenger front airbag.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that when driving at various speeds, the doors would lock and unlock independently with the illumination of the service air bag warning light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times for repairs but to no avail. The dealer advised that each component had its own modular but replacing the modular for each component had not corrected the failure. The failure mileage was 20,000 and the current mileage was 24,000.
