There has been an outstanding recall to replace the airbag(s) in this vehicle. Understanding that it is a widespread recall that affects many vehicles but what is concerning is that the recall states that it is most affected by "long term exposure in hot and humid regions" which this vehicle has always been in florida. I periodically check with the dealer and they always advise that there's no update. I would think it should be handled more expeditiously due to this vehicle qualifying to the exact conditions of the recall notice and that this vehicle is now twelve years old all which has been in florida (a hot and humid region). Please advise... Thanks in advance, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

There was a recall in 2016 for my vehicle's air bags and the local dealer service dept. Told me there is no remedy yet. I live in one of the hottest and humid parts of the us which is known to cause the airbags to degrade. I am concerned for my safety knowing this problem is unaddressed by the manufacturer.
Our takata airbag has been on recall for years. Gm was given until august 2017 to file their petition. That was two and a half years ago!! Where is your decision???? This is unacceptable and negligent, am I putting my family in a safe vehicle or will we be killed by shrapnel if we are in an accident??? Would you put your family in this vehicle? Sadly, I own not only one vehicle in this situation but two! Do your job!
the federal safety agency-2016-0124 HAS BEEN PENDING SINCE 2016. GM HAS FILED A PETITION OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY. WHEN IS the federal safety agency GOING TO REACH A CONCLUSION ON THIS? IT IS WELL PAST THE DEADLINES the federal safety agency SET FOR GM TO PROVE THEIR CASE.
Dashboard is cracked up to/including the passenger side dashboard-mounted airbag, which has the potential to cause injury from flying shrapnel if airbag deployment occurs.

Takata recall: how is it possible that a 2016 airbag recall is still being disputed in 2019? Honda replaced my airbags in my accord in 2017. Why hasn't the federal safety agency denied gmc's request and forced them to replace these airbags? Please do the right thing and get these airbags replaced!!!

We were notified, as we were getting service done on our vehicle, that there was an airbag recall on the passenger side. We were never informed about any impending recall. We then contacted our dealer, and we were told that as of may 2016, gmc did not yet have a solution to the problem. No further word on any corrective action to date.

Takata recall replacement part not available.
Dealership is refusing to repair the recall air bag parts. They say they don't have them to do the repair.
Dashboard warning of: "service airbag" came on several weeks ago. Got a notice from tk holdfings; ref, takata airbag inflators. Checked local dealer for recall info. And found no help. Was told a "fix" was not available. So, why the notification if I cant get my truck repaired under a recall? In the meantime, I've got a warning light on my dash, reminding me that something is wrong with the airbag system. I refuse to pay to have it investigated and repaired, when it has already been recognized as being faulty. What's going on here? Does my truck get repaired or not?

Takata air bags still not replaced- on recall list since 5/2016.
Takata recall - gm dealership states "no remedy". Mind baffling to me that they are recalling a critical safety component that impacts the lives of my family and they are allowed to state: no remedy. This is unacceptable to me and needs attention by your organization. Given that takata is going out of business, the likelihood of remedy is nil without your intervention. Please help!
Takata recall. I am unable to get the airbags replaced by gmc. There are no parts according to the gmc dealer that I called today 10-26-17. I do not know how to proceed. It is hard to believe these airbags cannot be replaced.
Tamara recall
We have owned this vehicle for 4 months. There is a crack beginning over the instrument panel on the drivers side (the beginnings are there as well as being able to see the crack under the surface of the dashboard) and on the dashboard into the airbag compartment on the passenger side. The vehicle was not moving when we noticed the cracks. We went to crank the vehicle one morning and noticed them.
