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.

Please advise.

Takata recall. Chevrolet dealerships, including eldorado Chevrolet in mckinney texas, refuse to repair the air bag inflator. Say they don't have the required parts.

Takata recall. . . I was notified in July 2016 of a recall on takata airbag inflators installed in my vehicle. This recall stated that the propellant in the inflator can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. When this propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflator can rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries. As of November 2017, there is still no remedy available for this recall for a defective item that could result in death for me or my family. I have called about the availability of a remedy several times, with the most recent call taking place in August 2017, when I was assured that the solution would be available by the end of October. It is still not available. I live in alabama and have owned my truck for 7 years, so my airbag propellant has been exposed to the exact conditions and length of exposure that could result in death as stated in the recall furthermore, it angers me that the recall states that this propellant, when exposed to hot and humid conditions for an extended period of time, could result in death but then goes on to state that "the vehicle is presently safe to drive". I think that gm and takata have had plenty of time to establish a remedy for the problem. It is obvious to me that neither company cares about the safety of their customers. Some action needs to be taken against these companies to ensure that they take action to repair these potentially deadly problems.

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.

Takata inflators: recall notice received July 2016. Have checked with dealerships since 10-19-16 and they say they have no parts to fix the recall and do not have date when parts will be available. Have received another notice that t k holdings have filed for bankruptcy chapter 11. No accident but recall not fixed.

Takata recall. Received "important safety recall" on gm letterhead dated July, 2016. Gm recall #"49152", thereafter called gm recall #2049152; NHTSA recall # 16v383. Original letter states "vehicle is presently safe to drive. . . No need to take action now. . . Will be notified when parts are available to remedy your vehicle. " I checked the status of the recall at my. Gm. Com/recalls on the following dates with the same information found: 10/8/16; 1/3/17; 8/10/17. I received a legal notice on 10/20/17, stating that takata, the air bag inflators manufacturer, is/has declared bankruptcy, etc. And decided to follow up on the recall as suggested in the legal notice. I spoke to "mr. P. " (first name) in the service dept at columbia Chevrolet, 513-823-9268, who looked up my VIN and state that his gm website states that gm and takata have petitioned the NHTSA to determine if a recall will be made. I pointed out I have a gm recall and was told gm will send me a recall notice if one is made and "anyway, there are no parts available for this and we don't know what parts they would be. " I think the response that we don't have parts to remedy the problem, (which we now don't acknowledge)15 months after receiving an official recall, which was originated 20 months ago, is inappropriate and has added stress to my life in having to follow-up repeatedly and worry about the safety of my vehicle, which may still have a serious safety concern unaddressed. No motor vehicle accident or other incident to stimulate the action of the air bags has occurred, thankfully.

If the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries. Remedy: the necessity of a remedy is dependent upon NHTSA's decision on gm's petition for inconsequentiality. Additional information will be available following that decision.
