I received a notice today stating that the airbags on my 2011 chevy tahoe are defective and need to be replaced. I understand replacement of the defective bags would be at no cost to me. Please let me know what to do next. My local chevy dealer is delillo chevrolet, here in huntington beach, california. Dave weige

Takata recall. My 2011 vehicle has been in the very high humidity of central florida its entire life. Nhtsa and gm said there would be a decision by august 2017. I called my chevrolet dealer today (10/19/2017) and was told there is no recall and a remedy is not yet available. I feel very vulnerable continuing to operate this vehicle in a very hot and humid environment. When are we going to get a decision and remedy?

My dashboard is cracked in two locations. The speaker in the dashboard has been serviced once by the dealership and is the only time the dashboard has been touched. Nothing has been done on my part to jeopardize the integrity of the dashboard. An internet search shows that this is a common problem in tahoe's. I have received no reasonable explanation for the damage along with no reasonable fix ($1,500!!!!). I have…

Takata recall. This is no resolution and it effects the resale value as well. I'm driving a vehicle that is deemed as possibly unsafe and gm has no solution. I believe there should be a class action lawsuit for punitive damages. I have tried to trade my vehicle and the dealership has stated that they can not resell my vehicle.

Multiple cracks across the dashboard have formed, in some cases completely bisecting the dashboard pieces. I'm concerned that if the airbags are deployed or in the event of a crash these sharp pieces of plastic will become projectiles. I was just quoted a price of $1400 by my dealer to replace the dash, but it seems this is a common problem.

Cracks appearing on the dashboard. Tahoe is gently used and garaged. Severe vibrations of the dashboard, when driving, is causing the cracks. The central speaker on the dash also vibrates.

We have tried to have the takata airbags replaced but so far no luck, we bought vehicle about 2 years ago, and it does not feel safe driving it like that. No peace of mind. Also called the dealer, we got the same answer.

While the vehicle was stationary, the dashboard cracked just above the instrument panel. There are 2 cracks. One is about 4 inches while the other is about two inches. After some research, it appears this is a very common problem with gm vehicles.

Dash has cracked in (2) places that could cause safety issues with air bags if bags were needed to deploy. Vehicle has 38k miles and has always been garage kept, so sunlight damage and armor all protectant are not the problem.

Cracks on dashboard one above speedometer and the other on left side of passenger airbag. I am afraid if i'm in an accident that airbag won't deploy or pieces will shatter and fly into passenger.

I attempted to trade in my truck and was told that since my car has an open recall, the value is greatly decreased. Why is the governement allowing me to drive a vehicle that could potentially cause me harm and not properly protect me in the event of a wreck

The dash in my car cracked for no reason. What concerns me is that the crack is next to the airbag on the passenger side. If this airbag were to deploy it could cause the broken pieces of dash to turn into projectiles causing a dangerous if not deadly injury. This vehicle has never been on anything but smooth paved roads. The vehicle only has 61,200 miles on it. We were on an interstate when this occurred.
