Takata recall not fixed

Filed Mar 7, 2018 · Airbags · 87,885 miles · KY

Dashboard has cracked above the drivers instrument display, around speaker and now has cracked around the passenger side air bag with the dashboard being loose. If the air bag is ever to deploy it will more than likely hurt my passenger which could be my wife, my children or grandchildren. This is ridiculous, thousands upon thousands of gmc vehicles has this same issue !!!!!
