Takata passenger airbag gm recall n212328780. Gm safety recall letter dated 02/2021 indicating part is not currently available and I will be notified once parts are available. I request, with concern, an investigation be performed on the airbag propellant components for signs of expansion problem which may have caused a crack/split in vehicle dash surface. This complete crack/split is located near upper left corner of recalled passenger airbag/cover. Dash appears to be slightly raised in that area of crack/split. Previous gm recall issued for same dash problem for other model year vehicles?

Contacted gm corporate, they told me they can't help me and to call the local dealer to schedule getting the service to get done. Local dealer does not have any information, is not able to get parts, and is not willing to do service as it will not be covered under warranty as its not in gm's system. Gm is continuing to stall and this has been a four year ordeal. Local dealer has no timeframe of when the system will be updated so they can begin the work, they have no clue when they will be able to get parts or if they will even be able to get parts.

He wants to get the airbags replaced to avoid injury or death in the event of vehicle accident.

Truck has 56000 miles. Had to service airbags a few years ago.. Big bucks. Now have service airbag light on for 2nd time. I replaced both impact sensors but that did not fix problem. It seems that other sierra owners have experienced similar airbag problems. I'm wondering if it is safe to drive and if this is a defect that gm is ignoring.

I received a notice from takata 3 years ago about a defective airbag recall but never received any info about taking it in to have it replaced.also, about the same time as I received the recall notice my service airbag soon light came on and is still on which will most likely prevent me from trading in or selling the truck should I decide to do so.I would like to have the problem solved as soon as possible. Also I had to replace the wheels as they were rusted out and leaked air thru the weld joints which appears to be a common problem with gmc and chevvy trucks.2016

The vehicle contains takata airbags that an open recall was started 3 years ago for but a decision has never been made. The dash has now cracked near the airbags. If the airbags deploy they could cause shrapnel from the dash to be put into the cabin. There is an open lawsuit in the us and canada with gm in regards to the dash. The vehicle is also displaying intermittent airbag service error messages. Gm will not diagnose the airbag issue for free and want's anywhere from $150-$250 simply to read the code plus whatever the repair would cost. Gm also wants $1500-$2000 to replace the dash. Gm has deemed this vehicle "safe" but will not stand behind that "safe" designation by diagnosing the airbag issue for free. The airbag service light started off very infrequently and has started to become more frequent. I have also been cut by the dash on multiple occasions, which presents a huge safety hazard. Gm corporate will not give any timeline to a resolution and will only pay for repairs once the federal safety agency forces them into a recall. A "safe" vehicle does not injury it's users or report errors with its safety systems frequently.

Takata recall I was notified in july of 2016 by gmc of a possible issue with takata airbags. I was told there was no current solution and to wait. I waited one year (2017) and called again and was told nothing has changed. I did that again in 2018 as well and was told there were no updates. Around the time of my second call in 2018, I started getting airbag warning lights and message from the vehicle. I contacted gm corporate in regards to the issue assuming it has to do with the recall. I was told by gm corporate that in no way would they be willing or able to assist or pay for any of the cost of getting this resolved and that I would be required to everything myself. I might be able to get reimbursed if the recall finally went through, but if the recall went through after I sold the vehicle they would not reimburse me. I contacted a local dealership that was not willing to help with costs either and was told it would probably be $300 to diagnose the problem plus costs of repair. I've also attempted to sell the vehicle but have had buyers back out due to the open recall or offered me below market value for the truck because of the recall. Thereby causing as of right now "permanent diminished value" I personally feel like gm is dragging their feet knowing that if they can wait long enough the number of vehicles will drop off the roads causing the repairs to be cheaper.
