Takata recall- since march 2017, my warning light system has intermittently displayed a "service airbag" message. There is an existing recall associated with my vin, however since may, 2016 the recall status remains as "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available". I believe this to be an obvious safety concern.

Cracked dashboard by passenger side air bag. My concern is if the air bag is deployed will it cause the dash to shatter causing more injury. I had the same crack in the same place on my 201 3 tahoe but i have traded it in. It seems that there a major issue with multiple chevrolet vehicles similar to mine.

The dashboard immediately surrounding the case holding the passenger side airbag in my 2009 chevy silverado is cracked and broken in three (3) different places, including two (2) corners. I was advised this is a common issue in gm trucks, and that it is a structural integrity issue that could cause airbag deployment without accident. I was advised that since our truck is part of the takata recall to have our airbags…

My air bag sensor light came on and will not go off. The dealer that i deal with wants me to put in a new sensor in, and it will cost me around $500.00. They said that if i was to get into an accident, the air bags and the seatbelts might not deploy. Should this be a recall item?

Takata recall. Gm says on nhtsa web site that they consider my truck safe to drive all they did was turn the air bag off. Which makes a key safety component inoperable this is not exceptable. And they still can't replace the inflaiter, i am forced to drive an unsafe vehicle this is also unexceptable. My question is - is this an exceptable remedy even if temporary to the nhtsa. I feel as though gm has replaced one…

Takata recall- dash is cracking in several places surrounding the passenger airbag. Started when the truck had less than 70,000 miles. (truck now has ~109,000) aside from the dash cracking on a fairly low mileage and very well kept and maintained vehicle, the safety fears stem from the possibility of pieces of dash flying apart and striking passengers if the airbags are ever to deploy. Or in a sudden stop, etc... I…

Airbag light on airbags disabled safety concern vehicle is not as potentially as safe as it was designed to be. The sdm (airbag module) has water intrusion and caused corrosion inside the sdm and caused the circuit board to burn out no fuses were blown which is a concern as well because the board had burn components from the water intrusion. Gm had a previous recall on this problem it appears this vehicle had the…

I have various cracks in my dash. There is a large one in the middle of the dash. This one occurred just this year (2016). But the other is more concerning, especially since it is up against the passenger airbag. This one has existed for several years (2014 or earlier). I didn't think about this being a problem until the takata airbag recall came up. I am worried that should i get into an accident, that the cracked…
