Why is there no remedy for my vehicle and all other vehicles affected almost 3 years later? I'm complaining about the length of time it is taking. I spoke to a dealership who said parts aren't available yet and they gave me the number to gm/chevrolet. When i contacted gm/chevrolet they told me, the decision from the nhtsa hasn't been made, they have the parts available to ship out to dealerships, but are not able to…

I received a recall notice in may 2016 telling me my airbags were defective and being recalled, however there is no remedy available. There is still no remedy available over a year later. I am being told my vehicle is still safe to drive. I know that, it is just not safe in an accident - if i know when i will get in an accident i would have won a lottery by now. This is not acceptable. The airbags need to be…

Vehicle dash has started cracking around the air bag and instrument cluster. This can and will affect the deployment of the airbag and could send flying debris into the vehicle or cut the air base upon deployment. Some estimates are that 80% of the 2009 model year have cracked. Dealership states this is a common issue and have repaired so many they have it done to half a day. Cost to repair is 1200 dollars. Gm was…

While driving my vehicle i started to hear this cracking sound in which i noticed that the crack was coming across my dashboard. It started on the passenger front side from the airbag and came all the way across to the driver side and up towards steering wheel. Now it just flaps while driving as it is open and exposed and i am very concerned in regards to airbag safety at this point. My tahoe is in excellent…

My biggest concern is that is i get into an accident, are pieces of the dash going to be shot at/into passenger and/or driver/ i have tried to get gm/chevrolet to replace and their option was for me to spend $800 to replace their dashboard that has material defects. That does not seem acceptable and i am…

My dash is cracking and getting worse every day. I've seen hundreds of pictures of similar gm vehicles that have the same issue. I've been dealing with my insurance on this issue for over a year and have concluded that this is a defective product. My one of my cracks has reached the passenger airbag and may become a huge liability for the manufacturer. What are my options on moving forward?

The dash on my tahoe has broken right next to the passenger air bag. It has actually broken a piece of in the air bag. It is my understanding that this is a common problem with these vehicles as the dash is not structurally sound. My fear is that if the air bag is deployed that shards of plastic will be embedded in the passenger. This is the only defect on the dash and it appears to have happened at the weakest…

The dash board is cracked in three different spots and one is right at the passenger air bag. The dealership will not fix cause it's not under warranty. I feel like this is a safety hazard and gm needs to fix this issue.

The dashboard has cracked and repositioned itself. These cracks occurred over a period of 3 weeks until the dash repositioned itself. These cracks occurred in the normal course of driving and parking the vehicle. This repositioning is a direct result of the cracks. The passenger airbag appears to be affected by this condition posing a safety risk to any front seat passenger. These risks include improper deployment…

The dash has cracked in several places. What is alarming is there are cracks around the passenger airbag and if it ever deploys i'm afraid there will be exploding pieces of the dash going everywhere. The passenger seat belt gets tight and will not release until fully retracted.

Takata recall this entire recall reeks of a back office deal with gm and nhtsa. In one para gm states that " if the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries." yet the following sentence states " gm considers your vehicle safe to drive". You should put pressure on gm to fix this as opposed to srringing it out for ever. D a lundy
