While driving on a two lane road at ~45 mph,i struck a deer on the front passenger side of the truck. The air bag deployed but did not come out of the center steering. Air bag dust was coming out of the back of the steering wheel, no air bag. I was very confused. The front bumper was pushed in ~2.5 inches. I am fortunate that i did not hit another car, since the airbag malfunctioned on deployment.

Recall on airbags. No remedy from gm. Discovered on my own that good 2012 airbags have same part number as my recalled 2011 airbags. Dealer will not install good 2012 airbags in my truck. I want you to demand that gm be ordered to replace my recalled airbags with good 2012 airbags.

May 27,2011 gm annouced a recall of the passeger side air bag on my truck. Recall # 16v381. Now the dealer tells me gm is asking y'all to allow them cancel this recall. Are we the consumer expected to just wait for someone to get killed when one of these defective inflators rupures?? And then gm might do something about it. Gm needs to be proactive and not reactive. Lets get these fixed before my wife or someone…

Air bag light is on. This is prompting me to think that this is related to the takata recall. My 2011 silverado has less than 100,00 miles. The transmission started making noises, then it stopped. Prior to that nothing was indicated as going wrong. One month later, the transmission will not move into gears. I have spent thousands of dollars to purchase this vehicle brand new and i am so disappointed in the service…

Takata recall. I was notified about a year and a half ago that my 2011 chevrolet silverado 1500 was under recall for takata airbags. I called my local chevrolet dealer three times asking if parts are available and still no replacement airbags. I live in alabama which is a humid climate which is more acceptable to cause air bag to be defective.
