2011 Chevrolet Tahoe airbags complaints
Page 2 of 7: complaints 11 to 40 of 185, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My dashboard has cracked above both the driver and passenger airbags. While looking to see if these cracks are repairable I learned that this is an issue with certain tahoes (between certain years) and could be a safety issue concerning airbag deployment and was advised to report it here. (I don't think it pertains to my issue, but my vehicle was stationary at the time the cracks appeared)
Driving ~25 MPH in residential area, all side air bags deployed for no reason. Nothing was hit by the vehicle and nothing hit the vehicle. One passenger driving vehicle.
Dashboard cracking around airbag may cause dangerous debris if the airbag is deployed in a crash
For over two years I have not received a recall for replacement of air bags. Gm recall number 2049151 said waiting for remedy from manufacturer, what the heck is taking so long long ?
Hi. My 2011 chevy tahoe "service airbag" light is on. My VIN # is [xxx]. I found a recall for it on the chevy website but it says its 'recall incomplete, remedy not yet available'. I believe they have failed to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner. Date of recall: may 27,2016 manufacturer recall number 2049151 the federal safety agency recall number 16v381. Im just wondering if there is anything you can do to help? Since my "service airbag" light is on now I feel very unsafe driving the vehicle as the recall states the following: 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. Separately and additionally, the dash has cracked all the way across the width of the vehicle. It is cracked on the cover to the airbag as well. There was no accident. It just cracked one day. A class action lawsuit has been filed and I have attached the pdf. Clearly this is a problem that is happening to alot of people. A cracked dashboard could compound the severity of a car crash and it could shatter into pieces upon airbag deployment and send shards of dashboard flying at both the driver and their passengers. Between the airbag recall and the dash cracking it is very unsafe to drive. Gm is unwilling to help me. Please let me know what immediate action can be taken so myself and my passengers are safe when I'm driving. Thanks!

My dash board is cracked in two places. It cracked to the dome part over the gauges and it cracked to my passenger side airbag. I do not feel safe transporting people in the passenger side. *tr *bf
I took my vehicle to don ringler chevrolet, temple, tx as soon as I received the recall notification, in 2016. I was told that they did not have the parts available , they would call me when they get the parts. I call them once a month and I went by last week and they are telling me the parts are still not in
I contacted a chevrolet dealership to have my vehicle serviced as it relates to the recall for the airbags. I was told that the remedy is not available because there are no parts yet. If something were to happen and the airbags deploy, my passengers and I could be in very bad shape. This complaint is about the recall being issued; no way to service our vehicles. This is not acceptable! I need to have my vehicle serviced asap

I have taken my car to the dealers several times to fix the airbag recall. They say that it is a recall and they cant do anything about it. So what do I do to get it fix.
Nothing has happened, thankfully, but these vehicles have the takata airbags and we still aren't able to get them repaired. How long until there is action. Commercials tell us to get the repairs done, but we can't yet.

Nothing has happened but I don't want to get to that point. When is this takata airbag recall going to be resolved? It has been over 3 years since it was put out. I would like some answers. If I wait for an incident to occur, it will be too late. My wife sits at that passenger seat and we live in georgia where it is very hot and humid. All of these conditions suggests a high probability that an incident may occur. Please reach and assure your customers that a fix is in the works and not ghost the population that owns and operates these vehicles everyday. Thank you.
My car is one of the many vehicles that are being driven on a daily basis risking the life of my family because whoever is in charge of this recall has not done enough to fix the problem regarding this flawed airbags that make us play russian roulette with with our life's everyday that we have to drive our cars to go to work or pick up our kids from school. We have been waiting for a repair since we bought our car on may 2017. Buying american does not sound like a viable option anymore. So far we have driven this death trap for about 26000 miles. Every morning both of us as drivers pray that that day won't be the day the air bags inflate if we get in a fender bender
'takata recall' received an important safety recall(gm recall 49151) in july 2016 since then I call every year to check on the status of the recall and they always tell me there is no need to take action now. It has been over 3 years now since this defect has not been available to remedy my vehicle. I believe that this time frame has been long enough to make my vehicle safe again, so my question is how many more years do I have to wait and is my truly vehicle safe?
Dash around airbag and instrument panel is severely cracked. Known manufacturer's defect.
Received a safety recall from chevrolet in june 2016 concerning defective takata airbag inflators. The recall stated I would be notified when parts are available to remedy the problem. It is now august 2019 and no one has contacted me about the recall. I am concerned about the safety of my family members.
We have tried to have the takata airbags replaced but so far no luck, we bought vehicle about 2 years ago, and it does not feel safe driving it like that. No peace of mind. Also called the dealer, we got the same answer.
I am the original owner of a 2011 chevrolet tahoe. The dash is cracked next to the passage side air bag and by the instrument cluster on the driver side. I am concerned if the air bag deploys on the passenger side the dash will exploded and send shrapnel at the passenger.
Dashboard just cracked while driving city street

'service airbag' message appeared on my dashboard screen. Possibly connected to numerous cracks on passenger and driver side. Vehicle has approximately 90k miles. Cracks appeared when it had approximately 40k miles. Dealer said it was not covered at that time.
Dash board has been cracking...started from the corners of the airbag....now I have cracks all over the dashboard.
I have two cracks in the dashboard. One is on the passenger side right near the airbag and one in one the drivers side. I have read many complainants about this issue and it puzzles me why chevy would not do a recall. My 2011 is very well taken care of so it is not neglect on my part.

Dash cracked , could send pieces into face in a crash .
Dash is cracked in tow seperate areas. One above the steering wheel, and one above the passenger side air bag. This causes a major safety concern, in that if I was in an accident and the air bags deployed, flying debris could harm myself and my children. This cracks happened for no apparent reason, other than being cheaply made and installed. The vehicle was stationary and not touched when these cracks occurred.
