NO DEALER CAN REPAIR MY TAKATA AIR BAG DUE TO GM NOT HAVING A REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT NHTSA AND GM ARE NOT CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE BY HAVING THIS ISSUE OPEN FOR SO LONG AND ANSWER TO THE MANDATED REPAIRS. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH MY CONGRESSMAN AND SENATORS. I AM AFRAID WHEN I HAVE TO DRIVE AND DON'T HAVE OTHER OPTIONS FOR WORK.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS ANNOUNCED ON 5/27/16. I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE DEALERS NUMEROUS TIMES AND I'M ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE'S NO REMEDY YET FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AND A HALF, WITH NO FIX AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD DEPLOY THE AIRBAG, BUT WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I LAST CONTACTED GUNN BUICK GMC IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS ON 12/12/17.

MY VEHICLE IS UNDER A RECALL BUT WHEN WE CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP LAST YEAR THEY DENIED THAT THERE WAS REALLY A PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT GMC FELT LIKE THE AIRBAGS IN MY TRUCK WERE FINE AND I SHOULD IGNORE THE RECALL. I ASKED THEM FOR A REMEDY OR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE SINCE I WAS NOT GOING TO IGNORE THE RECALL. THEY LAUGHED AND TOLD ME A REMEDY WAS NOT AVAILABLE YET AND THEY WERE NOT PROVIDING ME WITH AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE WHILE THEY WAITED FOR ONE TO BE SENT DOWN FROM CORPORATE. IT HAS BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE RECALL AND I FEEL WE HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH.

TAKATA RECALL. I STILL HAVE NOT HAD MY AIRBAG REPLACED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY GMC SIERRA AND IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR. WHAT CAN I DO TO EXPEDITE THIS? NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO GET THIS RECTIFIED. THANK YOU.

NHTSA ODI 11006242

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE A LETTER FROM GM. CONCERNING THE AIR BAG RECALL DATED 07/2016 INFORMING ME OF SAID RECALL AND STATING THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRS. THAT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR AGO AND NOW I HAVE A CRACK IN THE CORNER OF THE DASH PANEL WHERE THE AIR-BAG IS LOCATED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT GM. HAS ISSUES WITH GM TRUCKS, SUV'S ETC. FROM YEAR 2007 UNTIL AT LEAST 2013 CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM. DEALERS AND GM THEIR SELF CONCERNING REPAIRS AND OR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS AND STATED MY CONCERNS WITH THE DASH BEING CRACKED IN THIS LOCATION. THESE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED TO KILL OR INJURE PEOPLE AND AS A CONCERNED OWNER OF ONE OF THESE VEHICLES I FEEL GM. IS NOT MOVING FAST ENOUGH TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THESE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL ON THE ROAD EVERY DAY AND THAT LEADS TO GREATER RISK OF DEATH OR INJURY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GET RID OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF SAFETY CONCERNS BY THE MANUFACTURER. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED WHICH CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAZARD SHOULD THE AIRBAG ACTIVATE. THE LOSS OF INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD COULD CREATE AN EXPLOSION OF DASH MATERIAL SHOULD THE AIRBAG ACTIVATE IN AN ACCIDENT

NHTSA ODI 10971510

THE VEHICLES DASHBOARD IS BEGINNING TO CRACK IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. THIS TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT AND IT'S ONLY USED AS A LEISURE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE AREAS OF MAJOR CONCERN IS, THE CRACK THAT LEADS DIRECTLY TO THE AIRBAG. IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, I BELIEVE THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE THROWN ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE'S NO REASON FOR THIS DASHBOARD TO CRACK AND THE REPAIR WOULD BE CLOSE TO $1,000 DOLLARS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT, AND A HUGE OVERSIGHT ON QUALITY CONTROL.

NHTSA ODI 10939955

I GOT IN MY TRUCK YESTERDAY AND NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE CRACK WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE BAG DEPLOYS, THE CRACK IN THE DASH COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE OR CUT THE AIR BAG RESULTING IN A SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. MY TRUCK IS GARAGE KEPT AND IS NOT EXPOSED TO EXTREME TEMPERATURES.
