    Takata recall- my vehicles status is still incomplete! No repairs have been attempted and it has almost been two years since this recall was issued! I demand answers! Also the dash is cracked on my truck in the very same place it's cracking on thousands of other trucks. This needs to be recalled as the plastic can injure someone!

    Takata recall... I called the dealer about the recall. The service department said there is no replacement available at the time, gm will call when there is a replacement. What do we do in the mean time? Do we wait until something happens and then sue gm? I am curious because i don't want a loved one getting hurt or killed before the airbag is replaced.

    Takata recall: i am deeply concerned that there is an active recall for my truck that neither chevrolet, or takata is concerned about. The safety of my wife and infant son could be at risk due to a known defect in the airbags, and apparently that is alright with chevrolet and takata, because both companies are pointing the finger at each other and are not worried about the safety of their consumers!
