Takata recall: I am wanting to know when the recall will have a remedy? I had an accident in dec 2016 and the air bags didn't deploy. I had a pretty severe wreck running into 3 vehicles with substantial front end damage including broken tire rod. Below is just a picture of the damage. Body shop was in disbelief that the airbags didn't deploy??

"takata recall" dashboard is cracked near passenger side airbag and over the the steering wheel.
Takata recall gm recall 49151 to replace the passenger side air bag inflator. This has yet to be resolved, no further notice has been made of any actions, and research of the matter indicates that 'incomplete remedy not yet available'. After all this time, and that notice was made july 2016, the condition had been investigated by the federal safety agency and found no solution. That is unacceptable! My wife, my kids, my friends travel in that seat. What happens to them if this unit ignites with or without a collision type situation, and they get severely burnt, or maimed by this device which is apparently degrading each year they delay. What alternatives do I have now, just wait for it to explode? I really think this has gone far to long already, and needs immediate action before someone gets hurt or killed. Thank you.
My dash has been slowly cracking, the crack is now in two places, by the air bag and steering wheel and has completely released so it vibrates the whole time I'm driving. Just this week the airbag light is now coming on too.
Takata recall dash board has cracked despite being well cared for.gmc wants $1500 to replace! A cracked dashboard, particularly one that is damaged around the passenger-side airbag, can yield flying projectiles in the event that an accident triggers the airbag to deploy.
Dash cracking. Cracks initiated from loose speaker mount load. Cracked first at the ps airbag, then at the ds gauge cluster.
Takata recall: the dashboard on our vehicle is cracked at the air bag on the passenger side and at the steering wheel on the driver side. There is also a takata recall which gmc does not have a remedy. These 2 items have potential to be disastrous when combined together. The inflator exploding and the dash board breaking into pieces and sent throughout the cabin. We are asking for gmc to replace the inflator and replace the dashboard.
Truck started sputtering while driving. I had it towed home and then towed to the dealer and they stated the lifters in the engine were broke and there was damage to the can shaft. Told me this is normal and happens to vehicles like mine regularly. I have only owned the truck three years and have maintained it well with low mileage.they told me it would be $6700 to fix. When I complained, the rep told me $5500. I asked for a supervisor who then stated that gmc would offset the cost and it was now $3311. It would seem that if this is a regular occurrence in vehicles like mine, gmc would do something to ensure it doesn't happen. In addition there is still no remedy available for the tamara inflator.
Takata recall my vehicle has been identified as having a defective passenger air bag as indicated in the letters I have received. This is dated july 2016. I contacted my local gmc dealer, where I purchased the vehicle, about getting a replacement. (november 13, 2017) the service department told me that it was safe. Those were her exact words. She also stated that gmc was conducting their own safety testing to ensure that they agree with takata in that the airbag is unsafe. She said that my vehicle was safe to drive and that they would contact us when the testing was done. I told her to send me that response in an email. Naturally, she said that she could not because they had not reached a resolution yet. My local gmc dealer is courtesy gmc in lafayette, la. 337‑355‑4827
Takata recall - product not available. Dashboard cracking in multiple places around airbag with normal use and sun shade used. Gmc refuses to repar.
