I was driving and was pulling into a parking spot and the vehicle accelerated instead of slowing down and coming to a stop causing it to collide with the brick building i do not what the truck speeded up to but both of the airbags went off and i missed a little 5 year old girl by about 2 inches. *tr

I had closed one of my doors on the driver side with pretty strong force (slam), and the side curtain airbags deployed on both the driver and passenger sides. The seatbelt pre-tensioners also locked up. The airbag nearly missed striking my passenger who was seated in the passenger seat when it occurred. *tr

Takata recall, the warning seat belt light comes on when stationary and while driving on street highway and resets, i am afraid this will activate. I informed dealership but was informed there wasn't a recall for my vehicle and possibly electrical problems with air bag actuator.

I bought my 2011 silverado 1500 with 8,000 miles on it from the dealership oct 2012. While under a bumper to bumper warranty my dash busted at the air bag. I reported this to the dealer the truck had around 16,000 - 18,000 miles on it. I was told the dash was made that way so no claim was made. Since then my dash has only gotten worse and worse. Now that its no longer under the bumper to bumper warranty they admit…

Takata airbag, still no resolution for this by gm. The dash on the pick up also have the same cracks that thousands of owners have experienced around the passenger side airbag and across the driver side as well. I have repaired it multiple times for it only to crack in new places. It began cracking with only 30,000 miles on it.

Takata recall. I have called the dealership that i bought this from new in 2011 and they basically told me that general motors would rather lawyer-up than to have to replace airbags. I personally am pointing the finger at nhtsa and holding them accountable for any injuries or deaths as a result from a faulty airbag due to fact that they will not enforce gm to replace them. What good is nhtsa if gm can bully them and…

Takata recall: i received a recall notice years ago, recall #49151. I've called the local dealer enough times that they know me and know why i'm calling and have been very nice. The dealer says that he needs part # 2049151 to fix the problem but he says the part is not available. Please help. Thanks

This air bag recall still has not been resolved after greater than three years. Why are we still allowing cars with takata air bags to be sold in this country whe they have not resolved issues with thousands of cars already on the road? Are you waiting on a certain number of citizens to be injured before taking any further action?
