Takata recall recall 16v381 is quite old and needs to be finalized. It is difficult to tell if this is a serious issue or not.

The dashboard cracked in two places at around 50,000 miles. There is a crack between the passenger side airbag cover and the front edge of the dashboard and one over the instrument panel to the front edge of the dashboard. I was told initially that this is simply a cosmetic issue, but subsequent reports suggest that these cracks may cause the dashboard to splinter with airbag deployment, causing preventable harm to passengers.

"takata recall" your website states that if the recall is not fixed in a timely manner to contact you or file a complaint. It has almost been 3 years since I was notified of this recall and nothing has happened and I have no idea of when the fix is coming. I have two vehicles under this recall, I am hoping you may be able to shed more light on this situation as gm does not care about the complaints from its customers. I have contacted them in the past and have not received a answer.

Dashboard is cracked in several places from driver side to passenger side. It has cracked all around the passenger side airbag. In the event of an accident I'm very concerned the dash will interfere with the airbag deployment. I am also concerned it will become like pieces of flying shrapnel. The dash is defective and should have a recall.

Takata recall - I object to gm filing a petition for inconsequentiality. Gm's own website states"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." as the vehicle has been located in southeast florida since I purchased it new, it has been subject to both heat and humidity nearly continually since original purchase. Gm and takata should not be able to avoid the responsibility to restore my vehicle to a safe condition.

Manufacturer recall number2049151 the federal safety agency recall number16v381 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available. The recall status has been showing as remedy not yet available since may 27,2016. We have called dealerships numerous times only to be told that the remedy is still not available just like the website states even though it has been well over 2 years. Meanwhile they recommend that nobody sits in the front passenger seat until the issue is corrected. We have a suburban because we need the space to fit all of our family, which includes using the front passenger seat, and 2 years without being able to use our car to it's full capacity is unheard of.

Takata recall it's been over 2 years now since I first received the recall notice on my airbags. I contacted a local chevrolet dealer today and was told they are still waiting on parts. Now my concern is when will this recall be fulfilled? When something tragic happens to me or someone in my family? Will the recall never be fulfilled and my vehicle eventually "dies" before the recall can be addressed? This vehicle costs a lot of money and time is steadily going by for a big company like this not be able to get parts.

Takata recall: I have been in contact with gm about the recall since 10/20/16 and nothing has been done about replacing the inflators until now. Gm keeps telling me they are trying to select a vendor to do the work but have not yet and that they consider the airbags safe for driving. When is this going to be resolved?

Takata recall in addition the dash has split leading right up to the inflator cover. Vehicle was stationary when split appeared. Got in the car (parked in garage) one morning and split was noticed leading right up to the inflator over.
