This is not connected with a specific crash in this vehicle. It is a defect with all vehicles with this seat. There is known common defect with the stitching on the side of the front seats covering the airbag. The stitching is designed to come apart if an airbag is deployed. The defective stitching deteriorates and falls apart. This exposes the airbag system in the seat. This occurs on all gm vehicles with the same leather seats. Models include Suburbans, yukons, and pickup trucks. In this Suburban the stiching started to come apart about 6 years ago with a few loose threads. The entire side of the seat has now come apart. The rest of the seat is in relatively good repair without any holes, rips or torn stitching. Gm claims this is cosmetic and not covered. The safety issues caused by this includes the potential deterioration of the airbag system interfering with deployment in a crash. Another safety issue is the potential for foreign objects to get lodged in this space and injuring someone if the airbag goes off. The third safety issue is the potential of a person, or child, to access the airbag and cause it to go off without warning.

I'm writing this complaint because gm has yet to issue a solution for the recall on the airbags. When will gm issue the fix, with all these new recalls coming out on the takata air bags I am deeply concerned with why this issue hasn't been addressed with my vehicle.
The airbags on my 2011 chevy Suburban have almost never worked since owning the vehicle. It has been to multiple shops for the airbags and not one has been able to fix it. They all have gotten it to go away for a day or two but not a single dealership has been able to fix it. The vehicle is unsafe and I'm stuck with it. The vehicle only has 60,000ish miles but has no value due to this issue.
Recall was issued may of 2016 and I've still not been notified to bring vehicle in for a fix.
Takata recall has still not been resolved after 3 years. I drive my family in this car and until it's fixed we have to take 2 separate cars. It's okay, I've made my payments to gm in a timely manner on a car I don't feel safe driving my family in. Recall # : 49151.
