16 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2021

The dash cracked on passenger side 80 k. This vehicle is very well-maintained it looks like it rolled off the showroom floor. Takata airbag recall what a joke. So you recall the vehicle but you don't have the parts to fix it. The vehicle has a defect in the fuel system, I started noticing it when I would fill up with fuel. It has to build the pressure up before it'll start. Many mechanics told me this is a defect. Kat Friday night I ran an errand. Pulled in the driveway exited the vehicle hit the key fob to lock the vehicle. I go out the next morning and I can smell burnt wires. The window/power locks/mirrors module on drivers side door caught on fire. Luckily it shorted out the module, but it burnt up and melted one of the connectors. This just happened so I have not had time to figure the cause. Burns 2 quarts of oil between oil changes. General motors threw me under the bus in 1988 on a brand new pick up truck with the dexcool antifreeze that ate every gasket out of the engine and they refused to replace it I replaced it at my cost with no help from general motors. Enough is enough these people need to take care of all these problems they got top dollar for these vehicles. All of these occurred when the vehicle was sitting still. The door handle on passenger side door have cut several people. It's like a razor. A brand new vehicle has had a piece of tape wrapped around the door handle how embarrassing.

30 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2019

My complaint is the the NHTSA is not doing enough to force a remidy on the my vehicle's takata airbag problem. Thru many years of investigation and litigation with gm, it now more than evident that gm knows their airbags will fail. It isn't about if but when and it is the responsibility of the the NHTSA to protect the public and consumer. If you want the public to think you are serving in their best interest, than resolve this whole takata airbag problem.

32 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/07/2019

My vehicle has had an airbag recall for 2 years. Chevrolet refuses to acknowledge their is an issue. They keep saying the airbag is safe. Yet my vehicle remains on a list for recall. At what point are they going to be required to honor the recall? other car makers have acknowledged an issue and fixed the recall. When you ask the Chevrolet spokesperson if they would put a loved one in the seat with the airbag recall they simply state the vehicle is safe to drive. They refuse to answer the question. How can a national recall be issued but a company such as gm not be held accountable to fix the issue and let this linger for years.

33 Air Bag problem
