1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2017

I own a vehicle with takata airbag inflators. They have been under recall since 2017 and the recall has not been taken care of because takata has filed bankruptcy and gm does not have a solution or remedy apparently for the recall!!! I need my vehicle recall to be fixed immediately! who's to know if my airbag inflators are compromised and I am angry that gm will not step up and find a solution and pay for the recall!! my safety and that of my family is at risk!! why hasnt this recall on airbag inflators been remedied?? its been 3 years! it's ridiculous and I am angry that gm does not value the safety of it's customers by ensuring swift action on recalls!.

"takata inflators" and dashboard cracks. I have multiple cracks in the dashboard of my 2008 Chevrolet Suburban which gm is fully aware of, and avoids the topic with every call placed with the Chevrolet customer assistance center. Now there is the potential for the airbag inflators to rupture along with fragmented dashboard parts in the event of a crash. The primary crack(s) are located right at the passenger airbag location. I cannot emphasize enough about the safety concerns I have and the lack of attention that gm has given regarding the cracks and now the airbags.

Takata recall: in July of 2016 I received a letter from Chevrolet inciating that my vehicle has a defective passenger airbag inflator. I took it to a dealer, hall Chevrolet in chesapeake, and they told me they did not have the parts but woluld call me whe the parts arrived. I called several additional times and was told the parts had not arrived, more than a year later I have heard nothing. The gm recall is 49152. My VIN 3gnfc16078g271781. What can I do? is my car safe to drive? if takata goes bankrupt, what can I do then? is Chevrolet still liable?.

Takata inflators. Have waited for over 1 and 1/2 years for this recall to be completed. If they can't fix the vehicle they need to replace it. Just want vehicle repaired or replaced.
