1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 04/27/2018

"takata recall" once again I have attempted to schedule service to have the airbag inflators repaired or replaced as instructed by the recall notice. I have now been told that Chevrolet has no remedy available for the recall and are currently waiting for analysis by the NHTSA of Chevrolets independent testing which indicates the recall is not necessary. Chevrolet states the vehicle is safe to operate. I guess the proof will be seen if the airbag deploys in an accident.

2 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 04/12/2018

I believe my passenger side air bag may have done something because the dash next to the air bag area has been cracked. Dealer says there is no fix; but every other car company has found the fix; replace the inflator. This dash crack happened over night while parked in my garage.

3 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2017

Takata inflators - received notification by mail from tk holdings, inc. That the recall is still outstanding and that I should notify manufacture to receive repairs. Call service representative at koons GMC/Chevrolet and he informed me that the recall is still pending within gm and that nothing can be done at this time. Seems that the owners of these vehicles are being jerked around at the expense of the airbag inflator and the car or truck manufacture. Meanwhile, our lives could be at stake if we get into an accident and the airbags are inflated. Sorry state of affairs to us, the owners of these vehicles. This incident didn't happen yet, but I just wanted to state it before I get into and accident and I can't create this incident report after the fact because I'm died!.

4 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2017

Contacted dealer in 2016 about takata recall. Told me the parts were not available. Contacted dealer in oct 2017 again, told the parts were still not available. I believe the general motors has had sufficient time to acquire replacement air bag inflator and that they are deliberately stalling hoping the problem will simple go away. I need my truck fixed so that my wife can ride with me on trips.
