Takata recall. Airbag was recalled may 27, 2016. Its now 2018. Why isn't a remedy available?.
Takata recall- I have now called my local gm chevy dealer dealer monthly since the takata recall has come out and they have refused to replace the airbags. They site that they do not have any to replace them with. My response has been, I have 4 children that I drive daily and god forbid but if I were to get in an accident and the airbags deployed and we found out then that they were defective. It may be too late and the injuries sustained be life threatening. There is no reason we need should have to wait till something bad happens when this is a simple fix. I need my airbags replaced ASAP and need to know how to make this happen. I even received a letter in the mail that states contact your local dealership and schedule your free repair. This is absolutely asinine that my airbags have not been fixed within the last 18months since the recall. I need something done now.

A crack suddenly appeared on my dashboard at the top left corner of the airbag the driving on the freeway. Since that time I have been getting random service airbag messages on my dash display and the passenger airbag will not frequently not go on when I have a front seat passenger.
There is a crack in the dash right in the corner of where the airbag deploys. I am concerned that if the airbag deploys pieces ofm the dash may come off with it. Gm denies theres a problem and wont recall.
Dashboard cracked along passenger airbag interface. Known defect unremedied by oem. Sharp edges due to crack can hinder airbag deployment as well as shrapnel from the dash in a crash could injure occupants. This is a known defect in plastic manufacture by gm for model years 2007-2011.
Takata airbag recall. This recall was issued many years ago, it is now 2019 and I have not received any more information. Why is no one making gm fix this problem. Dodge/Chrysler fixed theirs ASAP and sent many notices trying to get the vehicle fixed. Gm on the other hand is waiting for people to get killed.

Within the first two years of owning the vehicle it developed cracks all along the dashboard. The cracks got bad enough that recently a large piece of the dashboard fell out. I have attempted to get Chevrolet to help pay for replacing it but they are unwilling and I cannot afford the entire bill alone. I am worried that the airbags will not work and that having electrical and mechanical exposed will cause harm to myself or the vehicle.
My 2009 Suburban has a crack in the dash right near the airbags. It is about 1 1/2" in length. I am worried that it will crack worse and cause my airbags to deploy when not necessary or fail to deploy when needed.
2009 Chevrolet Suburban ltz cracked dashboard without being involved in an accident. Cracks started appearing over driver's side area above airbags. Very concerning if involved in an accident and airbags deploying and shards of plastic becoming flying projectiles and an obvious problem gm is fully aware of.
Dashboard cracked by airbag and over instrument cluster hss to be safety issue dash board is loose and vibrates.
The dash broke between airbag and forward edge of dash. I am concerned about the safety of passengers if the airbag is deployed and that sharp dash corner hits a person or the airbag. The dash to the left of the break is sinking down to where the clip holding on the airbag cover is visible. The dash vibrates excessively now while the car is moving. I expect more cracks due to this vibration.
The discovery of the defect was on September 2012. There is a crack on the dash above the vehicles instrumentation I. E. Speedometer, oil pressure, gas level, etc. I reported to local gm dealership (henry brown Chevrolet) about the defect and my concern for safety. They said there is no available safety recall for this problem. Thinking that this was an isolated case I did not pursue the matter. Then recently when I surfed the internet I came upon a group of gm vehicle owner with the same type of vehicle and the same type of issue. So I investigated further. Going to different web blogs, I found more gm vehicle owners with the same problem. Everybody have the same issue. They have cracked dash on their gm vehicles. Some have the cracks on both side where the passenger airbag is. The danger is that this might puncture the airbag and render it ineffective. The main concern is safety because I don't want my vehicle to fail on me and my family. If for some reason water gets in the vehicles instrumentation and causes an electrical short, me and my family could be in danger of a vehicle accident. I am trying to be proactive and have this problem resolved rather than wait to be a victim of an unsafe vehicle or cause another driver to be in an avoidable accident. We need this vehicles recalled so that gm can take responsibility and fix an unsafe vehicle.
Owners are convinced that a cracked dashboard could compound the severity of a the vehicle dash is damaged I am stating that it could shatter into pieces upon airbag deployment and send shards of dashboard flying at both the driver and their passengers. The shards could also lacerate the airbags and render them useless. My dash has cracked and separated with no additional stress from vehicle occupants. This damage happens as the vehicle is parked the sun weakens the material,then as the vehicle is driven it creates stress cracks. Moreover any dash related repair will further damage the dash. For example this is one of the reasons gm has been so resistant to a takata air bag recall knowing that it will likely require the entire dashboard to be replaced.
Cracks all over dash, around airbag.
