In 2016 we were notified about a recall on our 2010 chevy tahoe. The recall was for the takata air bags. We would receive more details on how to fix this and have received nothing to date. I have gone to the dealership a couple times and there is still no fix. They don't even know when that will happen. In meantime, I am taking chances driving our vehicle should a crash happens and airbags deploy.

I purchased my 2010 in 2011 and the dash cracked in 2012. I have taken it to my local chevy dealer twice and chevy will still not accept responsibility for its poor quality and manufacturing. A vehicle that is only two years old and had never been involved in an accident should not have cosmetic damage. This is definitely a manufacturers problem and should be replaced by the company. My truck was worth 48,000 at the time and I should not be responsible for a repair caused by poor quality of their materials. Now my vehicle is 9 years old and the air bags deployed out of nowhere when my son was driving.... There was no wreck or impact with anything and they deployed. The quality used by chevy is terrible and I do not plan on purchasing anything else from a company that sells over priced vehicles with cheap and faulty parts that they don't want to assume responsibility for.

Dash is completely cracked above the airbag which could be a safety hazard of flying debris if the airbag should deploy. Also the middle bench seat 60 side randomly closes which is a huge hazard as my children ride back there
The dashboard of my 2010 tahoe has multiple cracks and is broken all over from no fault of my own. This has been an issue for many people with gm vehicles of this nature and the company won't help me repair or replace my dash. I'm scared that if I get into an accident that the airbags wont deploy or if they do, it will be with thousands of dangerous broken plastic chards! I am seeking help in this matter so that the company can understand that their product has faults and is putting consumers in risk of serious harm and injury.
Takata recall has been an ongoing, unresolvable issue since it began. The dealer has no insight as to when, if ever, it will be fixed. They say to keep watching the federal safety agency/gm boards for updates. Other issue is the dashboard & its cracking. I had filed with the federal safety agency in 2017 with the original crack that happened by the passenger airbag (your tracking number assigned by the federal safety agency for this issue is 10939141), but am adding this site now. Additionally, the dash has cracked behind the driver's "pod", connections have let loose for the middle portion of the dash allowing it to flap over bumps & the latest is the new metallic rattle that has begun somewhere behind the instrument cluster/dash area. I haven't had any cracking off of shards, but as the truck was regularly garaged, parked in a parking garage at work, & now in a carport, it's frustrating to have things occur without the blazing sun to contribute. Unlike others, I haven't had major cuts or flying pieces, just small cuts to fingers when I forgetfully am wiping down the dash. I've spoken with the dealership multiple times as things have progressed on the dash & initially they said it was unfortunate & to watch the original one (passenger airbag area), but as there are now more issues with the dash, they say to take it up with gm directly. I haven't started that process yet, but as the airbags & the dash are a never-ending issue, I will make an attempt to start.
I have a 2010 chev tahoe that is in excellent condition. My dash both front and back has cracks. I take very good care of my tahoe which you can tell by the condition it is in both outside and inside. In fact, I still have the plastic protector cover over the lens on the radio. General motors should have a recall on the dashes. Also, my air bag made by takata needs to be replaced!!! I have spoken with dealerships in my area and both of these 2 things have been a big concern with customers. Gm needs to step up and take care of their customers!

I have a cracked dash near the passenger air bag, I've contacted several entities about this issue and was told it couldn't be repaired due to proximity to the air bag, I then searched online and discovered that there is a class action lawsuit against gm due to faulty interior dash, if this is a safety issue, utmost definitely needs to be corrected.
Tried to get takata airbags replaced, and dealership refuses to help.

"takata recall" what is taking so long to issue the gm recall. Takata believes that the gm airbags have the same issues that other manufacturers' airbags have had, but the federal safety agency is dragging its feet regarding the issuance of the recall. You issued the original recall 2.5 years ago. You have had gm's petition for at least a year (assuming it was timely filed). This is ridiculous. What could be taking you so long? You are putting people's lives at risk. Is there a reason that you think the airbags issued to gm by takata are less dangerous than those issued to other manufacturers? Stop trying to help gm protect its' pocket books at the expense of people's lives. Do your job. Issue the same recall that you have issued for the other manufacturers.
Takata recall ..my children are riding in the tahoe with defective air bags for 8 years I am deeply concerned when will it be fixed
My 2010 chevy tahoe ltz dashboard is cracked across the top and especially around the passanger airbag area. It is very brittle and cracks more all the time. If the airbag was to deploy it could send shards of the dash board through out the vehicle, potentially causing injury from flying debris. I have looked into this issue and it seems to be a common issue on these trucks. For me and my family's safety and everyone else who has this issue, I hope it can be looked into and resolved before someone is injured or killed.
Takata recall...called today, aug 21,2018 to weseloh chevrolet service dept. Carlsbad ca on airbag recall. They do not have parts and no indication when they will have the airbag available. We live in a humid area with a child and concerned of this dangerous airbag being deployed. Crack on dash!
Dashboard near windshield is cracking and making noise. It's the panel near the windshield inside the vehicle and goes around the air bag. The material used to make the panel is weak and may explode if airbag goes off on passenger side.

Takata inflators: this recall has been in affect since 2016 and every dealership says there is no remedy to fix this problem. What is the hold up of getting this issue fixed? Will it take more injuries or deaths to get things moving. I have a 3 yr old who sits behind me in the middle seat. If this inflator would happen to inflate and explode, we would both be injured and that won't sit to well with me knowing this recall started in 2016.
