4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/04/2024

5 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2023

I went to get the takata recall done. I made an appointment at the dealer, and I showed up. After spending several hours of my day, the dealer told me the airbag was on back order and they even asked me if I actually want to get it done. The dealer informed me my dash would be broken after they finished the job. I told them the airbag is dangerous and it needed to get done. They told me they would order it and call me when it arrived and that has never happened. I called the NHTSA hot line and there was no service. The fact is this should have been recalled on November 15, 2015, but the NHTSA let gm postpone the recall endangering the public for over 7 years. The fact is the NHTSA covers for gm like they did with the ignition switch, the gmt800 brake lines and a bunch of other situations. The NHTSA reports are also full of lies and misinformation. I don’t blame gm for not doing the recall because they never planned on it. I blame the NHTSA for covering for them and helping companies like gm in hiding defects. Now even if I get the recall done the vehicle will have one of the squibs disconnected because that is part of the gm recall instructions. They actually tell the technician to cut 1/2 of the airbag wires. The fact is this will make the air bag weaker.

27 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2020

The vehicle was parked under a tree during the day while I went to work. The tree blocked the sunlight but the truck was still quite hot due to the black interior and hot temperatures. After work, I noticed that there was a crack in the dash that went from the airbag to the middle seam. This, along with another crack that was new, makes the dash flimsy and you can see it vibrate when driving down the road. I believe that if the airbags were to go off, pieces of plastic from the dash would break off and become a safety hazard, the truck is in excellent condition and has been properly maintained.
