Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 2500

"takata recall" received a safety recall notice by mail dated July 2016 regarding the front passenger air bag inflators can malfunction. Over the last year and a half I have contacted several dealerships in my area for a replacement. I was told that there was an ongoing court battle where takata claims that their is nothing wrong with the original installed inflator. The dealerships told me that they do not have replacement parts and would not install a replacement part until the court case was settled. No injuries have happened yet because the vehicle has not been in an accident. However I fear that someone may be injured or killed if an accident in this vehicle occurs.

The dash right next to the corner of the passenger side airbag has cracked and looks like it could effect the operation of the airbag in case of deployment. The crack became worse after having the airbag inflator replaced recently as part of a different recall. Additional cracks have appeared in other places on the dash since the crack by the airbag first appeared.

There was a recall on the passenger side airbag inflator. I received a letter in July 2015 notifying me of recall. Parts were not available at the time. I have not received any additional correspondence. I searched the recall online and found the recall is still open, and parts are still not available. This is unacceptable as every time I drive my vehicle with my wife and children, they are at risk of metal coming through the airbag causing injury or death!.

Takata recall. Takata inflators-passanger side gm recall 49151. Received my notice in August 2016. Gm informed me they were studing it and would have an answer in 6 months. Same story in January 2017, July 2017, sept. 2017, November 2017, oct. 2018, oct. 2018, Feb 2019, and finally July 2019. Stated gm sent report to NHTSA and are still waiting for a reply. This is unbelievable ! who is responsible for for the safety in case of an accident and someone is hurt. It does not take 4 years to resolve the safety of this passenger inflator. Other companies have replaced this air bag. Why is gm dragging their feet.

Takata recall I have been under recall since July, 2015 for this airbag on the passenger side of my truck. The recall itself states : "inflators subject to takata equipment recall 15e-041 were installed in certain 2007- 2008 model year Chevrolet silverado and GMC sierra 2500/3500 heavy duty pickup trucks as original equipment. In accordance with takata¿s defect determination for these takata inflators, gm is recalling these vehicles to replace these takata inflators. " (I retrieved this information off of the gm website, specifically related to my VIN. Recall date :05/28/2015. This information is current as of today, 06/07/2016. On 07/31/2015, I called the number on my letter that I received in July, 2015 and placed a claim with gm. Gm advised me that the part was not available, but that they would contact me when it was. I never received any correspondence about the part being available. On 06/07/2016, I called the same number and spoke to a representative. She advised me that the part was still not available. I advised her that I frequently carry passengers, including children, and that I need a safe vehicle. I let her know that I placed a claim last year and I felt I should be able to get a rental or have this fixed. She opened a - new claim, with a new claim # - and advised me to call the dealership. Dealership told me that he pulled my recall by my VIN, and stated that it said "gm does not currently think this is a safety issue and that they do not feel that we need to have this fixed". Note: I live in an extremely humid environment in the deep south of the USA. This type of humidity is exactly what is causing these airbags to rupture metal objects. I am not okay with these results. I have paper documentation as of today showing that I am in danger. I do not appreciate the way gm is treating me or my family.

Takata inflators: my 2007 Chevrolet 2500 hd silverado has had an open recall for approximately 2 years. The letter said shards of metal may fly from the air bag in the case of deployment causing serious harm or death to occupants, however gm stated that the vehicle was still safe to drive?????? after this amount of time, the fact that my husband, children and grand children routinely ride in this truck. I think it is time that the recall be completed. I contacted gm and they said there is no new information. If they can't make the truck safe to drive, they should replace it with an equal truck at no cost to my family.

Takata recall. I was notified in July 2015 that a safety recall was issued for the airbag inflator in my truck. I have tried (3) times since them to have my Chevrolet dealer repair this. But as of 02/18/2016, I am still being told that "the type of repair needed for this vehicle has not been determined. We will notify you when it has". I find this totally unacceptable, as I need my vehicle to transport myself and my family, yet we are at constant risk for a defective part that could severely injure us or cause death. Can you do anything to expedite this repair? thank you.

Takata recall - it is absolutely unacceptable that after almost a year and a half there is no resolution to the takata airbag inflator problem. I drive my children daily in my affected vehicle, I shouldn't have to worry that one of the safety systems in the vehicle might actually be the thing that could injure kill me or my family. I think about this issue every time I drive my vehicle. As of may 2016 there have been 10 known deaths in the u. S. And 11 worldwide linked to the issue. More than 100 people have been injured. All I hear from Chevrolet is that the parts from takata aren't available. At this point Chevrolet needs to step up and take responsibility by coming up with an alternative solution or getting these dangerous vehicles off the road.
