TAKATA RECALL. RECALL DATE 5/27/2016. RECEIVED LETTER ADVISING OF THE RECALL AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE 2ND LETTER ONCE PART WAS AVAILABLE. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE LETTER SO I CHECKED THE STATUS OF THE RECALL AND WEBSITE STATES: RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL THAT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH YET HERE WE ARE ALMOST 8 MONTHS LATER THAT STILL CANNOT BE CORRECTED. OUR 2ND VEHICLE ALSO HAS THE RECALL SO WE ARE BEING LEFT WITH 2 UNSAFE VEHICLES FOR OUR FAMILY.

RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2016 THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED. NEVER WAS SO I CALLED ALLEN GMC TOLD THEM ABOUT MY RECALL , MADE AND APPOINTMENT AND DROVE DOWN MET WITH SERVICE ADVISOR STEVE WACKER. HE SAID I CANNOT FIX THIS AS I HAVE NO PARTS. I CALLED 800 222-1020 TALKED TO YVONNE AND GAVE HER ALL MY INFO. SHE PUT ME ON HOLD AND BURT PICKED UP AND I HAD TO GIVE HIM ALL THE INFORMATION AGAIN. BOTH THESE PEOPLE WERE IN THE PHILIPPINES AND SAID THEY COULD NOT TRANSFER ME TO A DECISION MAKER. FUNNY HOW THE SUITS ALL HIDE BEHIND THESE CUST SERV PEOPLE. I ASKED STEVE AND BURT HOW THEY WOULD FEEL ABOUT PUTTING THEIR WIFE OR CHILD IN THAT SEAT WITH THE POSSIBILITY THE AIR BAG COULD KILL THEM AS IT HAS OTHERS. I ASKED FOR A CAR TO DRIVE LIKE HONDA HAS DONE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. JUST A BUNCH OF HAPPY TALK AT THE EXPENSE OF A FAMILY MEMBER. I DON'T CARE IF THERE IS A 1/1000 CHANCE IT MAY HAPPEN THEY SHOULD FIX IT OR GIVE YOU A CAR UNTIL THEY DO. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE OR SELL NEW CARS UNTIL THE GET THIS SITUATION RESOLVED. GM IS A HUGE COMPANY WITH LOTS OF RESOURCES AND IT SEEMS A CRIME THAT SOMEONE MAY LOSE A LOVED ONE OVER GREED. HOW SOON THEY FORGET WHO WAS LOYAL TO THEM WHEN THEY WERE IN BANKRUPTCY.

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION BY MAIL THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACT PER BY THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT/ REPAIR AS IT SEEMS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS ALMOST 4 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE.

"TAKATA RECALL"

DASH IS CRACKED. AFRAIDBOF SPLINTERING DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL - I CONTACTED LEGACY CHEVROLET WHICH IS MY LOCAL DEALER. SHE SAID ME AND EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOT HAD THEIR AIRBAGS REPLACED BECAUSE THE DEALER HASN'T BEEN SENT ANY PARTS FOR ANYONE. SUGGESTED I CALL GM DIRECTLY MYSELF TO ASK WHY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

A CRACK SUDDENLY APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG THE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE BEEN GETTING RANDOM SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGES ON MY DASH DISPLAY AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL NOT FREQUENTLY NOT GO ON WHEN I HAVE A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.

MY 2009 SUBURBAN HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASH THAT CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. I ALSO HAVE NEW CRACKS THAT GO FROM THE NATURAL DASH SEAM TO THE AIRBAG COVER/ENCASING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS PRESENTS THE QUESTION: IF THE AIRBAG NEEDS TO DEPLOY, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BROKEN DASH PUNCTURES IT AND IT DOESN'T PERFORM AT ALL -OR- WHAT IF THE CRACKED DASH BECOMES SHRAPNEL AND HARMS THE PASSENGERS? IT WAS CLEARLY AN UNFINISHED DESIGN SINCE THE UNDERSIDE OF THE DASH IS COMPLETELY HOLLOW, IT FLAPS UP AND DOWN ONCE CRACKED. IT'S NO WONDER THEY HAVE CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS, THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT UNDER THERE. THESE VEHICLES ARE MADE TO TOW, GET THROUGH ALL SORTS OF WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS, AND HAUL A LARGE GROUP. BUT THE DASH CAN'T WITHSTAND IT? PROBLEMATIC.

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. CONCERNED OF LOOSE PLASTIC IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

DASH AROUND AIRBAG IS CRACKED ALONG WITH ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT APPEARS IT IS IDENTICAL TO ALL OTHER DASH CRACKS IN BOTH LOCATION AND TYPE ON 07-13 TAHOES/SUBURBANS/AVALANCHES. OBLIVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT COUPLED WITH THE TAKATA RECALL COULD CREATE AN EXPLODING DASH WITH EXTRA BRITTLE SHRAPNEL.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH RIGHT IN THE CORNER OF WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS PIECES OFM THE DASH MAY COME OFF WITH IT. GM DENIES THERES A PROBLEM AND WONT RECALL.
