Takata recall. Contacted dealer in 2016 regarding airbag replacement and told none available at the time. Never received any further word from any one.
Takata recall I see my truck has a safety recall, but there is no resolution. This does not make me feel like it is very safe. Please make this company fix the recalled air bags. Nothing has happened yet, why do I have to wait until myself or a family member is hurt or killed to fix a known issue?
Takata recall gm has done nothing to alleviate this problem. At least 10 people have been killed by these defective airbags and thousands more have been injured. It is past time for the federal safety agency to get into action and force gm to repair these defects.
Takata recall. Dealer has no fix
When talking with the dealership they stated takata has not come up with a resolution. So there are no airbags for them to install. We received the first notice back in july 2016.
Takata recall in july 2016, I received a letter from gmc stating that my 2010 gmc sierra 1500 was built with defective takata airbags. I have called crabtree buick gmc in bristol, va., once in 2016 and again in summer of 2017 and parts aren't available at this time for installation. I would seriously like to have the newer, safer airbag inflators installed asap!!
Takata recall. Was checked by dealership over 6 months ago and everyday I drive this vehicle with these air bags puts my family at risk. I was told these parts were ordered to fix my vehicle but have not heard anything else. I'm very worried that at any moment these air bags could go off.

Upper dashboard cracked along airbag location on passenger side - top left corner of air bag. Car was parked, crack was just there when I entered the vehicle one morning...not just once but twice. Apparently the dashboard cracks just after the third year and re-occurs with replacement dashboards as well (all dashboards are defective, including the replacements). Note: exact same crack and location as many others reported on facebook group forum page (07-13 gm cracked dash safety hazard for all trucks).
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 gmc sierra 1500. After starting the vehicle, the air bag indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to yates buick gmc (13845 w test dr, goodyear, az 85338) where it was diagnosed that a crimped wire leading to the air bag had caused a short, and the wire needed to be replaced. The dealer also stated that if the indicator illuminated after the repair, the air bag would also need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that they would replace the air bag at a reduced cost. The approximate failure mileage was 58,500.
My dashboard has cracked around the passenger side airbag and on top of the driverside dash. I am afraid that the cracks around the airbag are a safety hazard for my family. Both cracks are growing rapidly. Vehicle has less than 44,000 miles and is in excellent condition.
Dash is cracked along side of passenger air bag and above instrument panel on dash.

Takata recall - I would like to sell my vehicle, but I can not due to this recall that can not be fixed. What can I do?
Takata recall - the federal safety agency recall #16v381 called the gm customer assistance center toll-free line in july 2016, they recommended me to take my vehicle to the nearest gmc dealer. Took my truck to powell watson gmc dealer in laredo, texas on july 2016 and they informed me that gm had not yet figured out a replacement part and that a replacement part was not available at the time. Again on jan 2, 2017, I took my truck to the same dealer for the same issue and they responded to me that there was no cure for the safety air bag issue that my truck was being brought in. The gmc dealer was not giving me eta on the replacement part. And the safety concern was not being resolved.
2010 gmc sierra. Consumer writes in regards to steering wheel noises and recall notice 16v‑381 issues. *smd the consumer stated there was a whispering sound coming from the steering wheel.
My dash is cracked about 2 inches long on corner by airbag whent do dealer said nothing they can do
Dash is cracked at forward left corner of passenger airbag opening and right front corner of instrument cluster area. Extreme concern that. In the case of airbag deployment, pieces of the plastic dash could puncture the airbag and/or become flying shrapnel/debris causing serious injury or death to the passenger.
The dash of the vehicle has cracked around the forward edge of the passenger-side airbag. I am concerned that pieces of the dash may become missile hazards in the event of an air bag deployment. This vehicle has only been subjected to highway mileage. A cursory search of the internet for causes of the crack revealed that this is an on-going issue for this model vehicle that is being ignored by the gm corporation.
Dash is cracking again. The dash was replaced under the original 3/36 warranty and now the replacement is cracked. Two cracks in the replacement. One in front of driver and one on passenger side at the corner of the airbag.
Takata recall - in addition to the widespread airbag safety issue, I am among the many, many other 2010 gmc sierra truck owners who have a cracked dash. The crack begins on thefront, left side of passenger side airbag compartment, and extends to the front of the dash (towards the windshield). With so many complaints about this, coupled with the fact that this could potentially be a fatal defect, one would think that an the federal safety agency sponsored investigation and a recall would have already been issued by now! I mean, it's only been 6 years!!!!
Takata recall. Dashboard began cracking on both drivers side and passengers side. Dealership said it was a common problem on their vehicles and used to have a solution in place where the customer would pay $100 and the manufacturer would pay the rest to have it replaces but had since done away with that deal. I imagine cause it was costing them more than they had thought. Asked if my extended warranty would cover it and after speaking to a representative it was determined that the extended warranty also did not cover this defect.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 gmc sierra 1500. While the vehicle was stationary, the driver side air bag light remained illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 104,000.
Takata recall, I have received the recall notice on my truck and have called three dealerships but no one is willing to help with a loaner until repairs can be made. They all say my vehicle is safe to drive. I understand humidity plays a roll in the air bags. I live in mena ar. We get between 50 and 60 inches of rain yearly with high humidity and after 5 + years living here I have a very large concern for my family's safety. I do not want to put them at risk for injury or possible death, because of a faulty air bag. Please can you help us get a drivable vehicle until they can repair ours.
The dash is cracked at the passenger airbag and poses a safety issued in the event of deployment. Airbag deployment could cause plastic shards to be propelled causing injury.
