Failure Date: 06/15/2018

"takata recall and gm" corporations" (takata, gm)) have decided to recall the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2011 for defective air bags. Takata's decision that the driver and the passenger air bag inflators it supplied to gm are defective and advised the consumers to take the vehicles to the dealers for repair of the air bag. I have done so for the past two years and I always get the same response: no parts available for the air bags repair. How can that be possible when smaller dealers like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc. Using the same air bags have the parts and have been conducting repairs on vehicles with defective takata's air bags? with this letter, I am requesting with respect for an explanation and a possible solution to this problem that has been going for so long. My silverado truck has only 24 k miles in it and I bought it in 2011. I am afraid to drive it! I am a subscriber of NHTSA. Please, response.

Failure Date: 11/08/2017

1/08/2017- bakersfield, CA. Passenger side airbag, for my model it has been identified as defective. Received legal notice this date from tk holdings inc, monroe WI. They are debtors, who filed chapter 11 for takata corporation. They stated take your vehicle to local dealership immediately to schedule a free repair on a defective or potentially defective airbag inflator. I've known about this issue for over a year now. General motors, takata corporation are in a legal battle over this airbag issue. In the mean time citizens of our great country are going to be impacted by this continue delay, and cost of all parties involved to prevail in court. The federal govt. Natl. Transportation safety board needs to intervene, and stop this airbag crisis. I would classify this matter as a natl. Security & safety threat because lives will be loss. Everyone involved are not accepting responsibility for this serious dilemma, due to ongoing litigation. I very rarely allow anyone now in my truck, minor fender-bender, airbag deployment, extraction metal shrapnel. Maybe I can get our washington DC senator of our district apply a little pressure on this matter, election time in 2018, look what happened on 10/07/17, state of virginia , state of new jersey, both republicans loss to democrats. This is not time for politics. Lives are and will be loss.

7 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2017

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 follow up on that call, they seem to not have my information. I just read something online saying that they were supposed to have a final decision from the NHTSA in August 2017 reference my vehicle and others. It is now November, I received another recall notice in the mail recently, and still the Chevrolet dealerships are not cooperating in the repair process.

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

Takata inflators: I received a recall notice 2 years ago and gm is still saying they don't have a solution yet. My question is does someone have to be injured or killed before gm will replace the defective inflators. If the air bag inflators installed are known to be defective, the manufacturer should be required to replace them.
