Takata recall: received letter from gm in july 2016 on front passenger airbag defective. As of today(11-14-16) still has not been repaired. Contacted gm dealer in albemarle, nc with no answers. Filed a complaint with gm in august 2016 due to this problem. Gm has not responded. This is a major problem because my wife or I could be injured or become fatality. We need this fixed immediately. There must be remedy and takata and gm are accountable. I guess more people must die on the highway before things change.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Takata recall-----I received a letter almost 3 months ago that there was a recall out on the airbags in my tahoe. I took the tahoe to the chevy dealer where I purchased the vehicle and they told me that I have to wait for a 2nd letter having to do with the parts coming in??? I have not gotten that 2nd letter? I have been back 2 times since and get the same response from the dealer service department.. I have to wait for the 2nd letter about the parts being available to fix the vehicle. Am I going to have to wait until something catastrophic happens?

Riding down the road downtown atlanta , the side only rollover airbags deployed for no reason.
I see that there is an outstanding recall for my vehicle, I have 3 small children and cannot risk driving them in a vehicle that has issues with the airbags. What can be done as I am paying and driving this vehicle that is potentially deadly if the airbags deploy in an accident. The recall # is 16v381. I keep seeing that there is no remedy available. This is a serious danger to my family.

Vehicle has significant and extensive cracking of the front dashboard, especially over the instrument console, due to an engineering design flaw in the 2007-2013 models. In the event of an accident, the dashboard will crack and splinter, causing potentially dangerous plastic shards to be directed at the occupants of the vehicle at time of impact, or possibly rupturing deployed airbags, rendering them useless.

Takata recall I live in florida, and have the oldest tahoe on the list of recalled vehicles. The dealership here in jacksonville has told me they will not be repairing the airbag anytime soon, and has not offered a loaner or any other solutions.

Takata recall the dash of my 2007 chevrolet tahoe is cracked severely, if the airbag does deploy the whole dash will probably deploy with it. This is a serious hazard.
Takata recall - I would prefer to have my passenger air bag disabled until repair parts are available because I have survived frontal collision with seat belt use but I don't think my odds are as good with shrapnel flying at my head at 200 MPH from a defective takata inflator. My dealer would not disconnect the pressure switch to the passenger air bag.
The dealer has done nothing to replace the passenger side air bag parts called them a month ago reff# 8-2304849524 this is a takata recall.
Dash is cracked in multiple places around airbag. Electrical system bugs out when driving in rain rngine consumes 2 quarts of oil in between changes

Takata recall / gm recall 49152. My wife & I received the aforementioned recall from gm. In the body of the recall letter it states that takata had decided our passenger side airbag is defective. Gm states they will issue a recall unless the can prove the airbags are not defective. So, I called gm to see what is the time frame to complete this investigation. Gm could not provide me with any information on how long it would be for gm to finish it's investigation. In fact gm didn't even indicate they have started yet. This is unacceptable to me as a consumer. Now I'm left with a car I purchased new from gm and am not able to use the vehicle for it's intended purpose. One has to assume that gm did their due diligence when purchasing the airbags and now that a recall has been issued by the manufacturer that decision is not good enough for gm. It's obvious to me the longer it takes for gm to prove the recall is not warranted the fewer recalled vehicles will be on the road which I have no doubt will be a benefit to gm but certainly not to the consumer. The simple question "how long will gm's investigation to prove to the federal safety agency's safitsfaction the recall is not needed take?". This leaves the consumer in a situation with no idea of when a resolution to the problem will come.
No fix no resolve my vehicle the inflators takata air bag no receiving the secon recall notice my number recall is #49151.

Cracked dash over the instrument panel. Vehicle kept in immaculate condition but it appears that the heating /cooling cycle along with sub-par material and design may be creating a huge problem for a great many of tahoe owners. The initial crack was noticed during the summer months in northern illinois and over a period of two-three weeks it progressed from the seam between the two dash panels towards the drivers position. This vehicle has not been wreck, abused, or taken off road. Unknown exactly when or what caused the dash to start cracking but it seems to be an ongoing problem which can cause a safety issue along with a decreased value of these vehicles due to poor quality. Love the truck but the quality and customer support are very poor.

The dash board has a crack right next to the air bag also above the gauges. My worry is if the air bag goes off the plastic from the dash will pop up and put a hole in the air bag. Which will then deflate and no serve its purpose. Or that part of the dash board will break off from the impact of the air bag and will hurt someone in the vehicle. Please contact. Me for photos it is saying they are too large to upload. Thank you
