Takata recall i have pursued through the chevrolet dealerships for over a year a remedy to the airbag recall. My understanding is that they were to provide a free repair or replacement of the airbag inflators. Every time i have called to get a repair scheduled, they have either told me that the repairs are not available, or that the parts aren't currently available, and they will call me when they are. Every time i…

Takata recall; called classic chevrolet of grapevine, they told me that the recall notice was sent out prematurely. My concern is if i get into an accident before the parts become available and the airbags don't function properly, leading to more legal trouble. Find this very unfair and unprofessional.

Regarding the takata recall, i received recall notice 49151 from gm on 7/2016 for my chevy truck. It said "you will be notified when parts are available..." that was well over a year ago! I spoke with gm customer service today on 10/14/2017 about this and all the young man said was that there is nothing to worry about. Evidently gm and takata are in some kind of disagreement over the airbag issue while my family…

There is a crack in the dash at the site of the passenger airbag. After further research, it appears that it is very common. I am afraid this area of the dash will fail upon airbag deployment causing injury. I do not know when the crack started.

There is a crack on the dash that runs along the compartment housing the passenger side air bag. This crack could potentially tear the airbag upon deployment making it useless in the event of a crash. The dealership informed me this was a common occurrence and it could be replaced but that the replacement may crack due to body shifting during operation and sun exposure. Now the dash is beginning to crack in other…

I bought my 2011 silverado with only 36,000 miles on it, before it ever reached 40,000 the dash cracked in the corner of the passenger airbag, and now above the odometer. I'm concerned for the safety of myself and my family if the airbag was to go off and send shards of sharp plastic though the vehicle. I would appreciate gm recalling and fixing the issue that they are already aware of.
