2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Air Bags

DASHBOARD CRACKED AT AIRBAG AND ALSO NEAR STEERING COLUMN, INSTRUMENT PANEL FOR NO REASON

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE HAS RECALL AIRBAGS. GM FOOT DRAGGING CLAIMING "NO PARTS" BUT OTHER MANF APPEAR TO HAVE. ENDEMIC PROBLEM WITH CRACKED DASH ON GM VEHICLES MAKES DANGER AIRBAGS EVEN MORE THREAT FOR FRONT SEAT PAX. THIS VEHICLE DASH REPLACED ONCE ALREADY. GM REFUSES TO PAY BUT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE DASH BOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG IS CRACKED. I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS IN THIS YEAR. I AM IN FEAR THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE DASHBOARD COULD FLY OFF AND INJURE A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE CONCERNING THESE DASHBOARDS WITH ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS...... I GUESS IT TAKES SOMEONE TO BE KILLED FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION!!!!!!

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK WHICH IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD SON AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD. IF I DO GET PREGNANT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS I COULD BE KILLED ALONG WITH MY UNBORN CHILD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY.

I HAVE NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD, ONE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER ON THE RIGHT CORNER JUST IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT (CRACK EXTENDS OUT FROM THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT) ON MY DASHBOARD. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL SPLINTER AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG. AFRAID IT WILL EASILY DEPLOY. JUST NOTICED THIS 2" CRACK ABOUT A MONTH AGO. NO REASON TO HAVE CRACKED.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED BETWEEN THE AIR BAG AND THE DASH VENT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE SECOND CRACK, ABOVE THE DRIVER CONTROLS OCCURRED WHILE THE DEFROSTER WAS RUNNING AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65-MPH.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL 07/2016, STILL HAVE NEVER RECEIVED NOTICE THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS RECALL. MEANTIME, ANYONE RIDING IN MY VEHICLE IS AT DANGER. WHEN WILL A FIX BE AVAILABLE NOW ESPECIALLY WITH TAKATA THREATENING BANKRUPTCY?

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG . IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED COULD SEND PIECES INTO PASSENGER. SEEMS IS A COMMON PROBLEM .

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES LIKE MANY OTHER 2007-2011 GM. CONCERNED OF SAFETY ISSUE IF AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY.PLASTIC FROM DASH COULD INJURE OR POSSIBLY PIERCE AIRBAG RENDERING IT USELESS.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN TWO PLACES NOW. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL AFFECT IT'S EFFECTIVENESS IN A CRASH. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP & GM AND BEEN TOLD THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.
