I still have not been able to get my airbag replace. They say they do not have an airbag yet. I have been trying since July 2016. Plus my dash cracked near the airbag.
I don't understand why gm can put the replacement of takata air bags off and put my family in danger. I understand other car manufactures have already started replacing the defective air bags. Don't they know there is a danger. The statement from gm to me is it is safe to drive my car. If so why do they have a recall at all?.

"takata recall" I received a recall notice for my car over two years ago for defective air bags made by takata. When I asked my dealership about it I was told at the time there was not a fix. Every time I return for service I ask about the recall and I am told the same thing. Two years is too long since it could affect my family. I have two kids and I am scared every time we go in my car for fear of the air bag exploding and killing my family with flying metal. Two years us way too long. Replace the bags and keep people safe and prevent lawsuits from happening.

I received a recall notice in may 2016 telling me my airbags were defective and being recalled, however there is no remedy available. There is still no remedy available over a year later. I am being told my vehicle is still safe to drive. I know that, it is just not safe in an accident - if I know when I will get in an accident I would have won a lottery by now. This is not acceptable. The airbags need to be replaced immediately!!.

Why is there no remedy for my vehicle and all other vehicles affected almost 3 years later? I'm complaining about the length of time it is taking. I spoke to a dealership who said parts aren't available yet and they gave me the number to gm/Chevrolet. When I contacted gm/Chevrolet they told me, the decision from the NHTSA hasn't been made, they have the parts available to ship out to dealerships, but are not able to until the decision is given on what vehicles are affected. The representative from gm/Chevrolet gave me the phone number to the NHTSA to contact them and see if they had any other information on how long it would take to resolve this recall. I spoke with beau from NHTSA on 5/25/2018 at 1:23pm pst, and he told me that the petition had been declined in 2017, and that he didn't know why gm/Chevrolet hasn't updated their information. He told me the NHTSA website it updated everyday and I could check the status there. When I checked the status, this is what came up. Same thing gm/Chevrolet told me, there is still a pending resolution. When is this going to be taken care of? recall date: may 27, 2016 manufacturer recall number: 2049151 NHTSA recall number: 16v381 recall status: recall incomplete, remedy not yet available docket no.

Takata recall no remedy since may 2016.
Vehicle was moving at normal speed and the dash cracked by the front passenger airbag.
Vehicle dash has started cracking around the air bag and instrument cluster. This can and will affect the deployment of the airbag and could send flying debris into the vehicle or cut the air base upon deployment. Some estimates are that 80% of the 2009 model year have cracked. Dealership states this is a common issue and have repaired so many they have it done to half a day. Cost to repair is 1200 dollars. Gm was contacted and state they cannot help us due to the fact we are second owners. Vehicle has been well maintained and has not be off road nor has it had any chemicals placed on the dash. Cracks are in the same place as everyone else's. Simple google search shows the massive amount of people dealing with this issue. In my wife's case, her vehicle, in my opinion, is not safe to drive. After calling gm and the dealership repeatedly, they have offered no help except to charge me full price for the repair. Absolutely unacceptable to sell these vehicles knowing the dash won't last and then take no action to correct an obvious safety issue. I would be curious to see one of these crash tested with a big piece of broken plastic in the flight path of an airbag.
While driving my vehicle I started to hear this cracking sound in which I noticed that the crack was coming across my dashboard. It started on the passenger front side from the airbag and came all the way across to the driver side and up towards steering wheel. Now it just flaps while driving as it is open and exposed and I am very concerned in regards to airbag safety at this point. My Tahoe is in excellent condition might I add. Ironically my sister has the exact same car as me and she has the exact same crack in her dashboard as well starting and ending in the same place.
My 2009 Chevrolet Tahoe has developed numerous cracks in the dashboard including around the passenger airbag. My biggest concern is that is I get into an accident, as pieces of the dash going to be shot at/into passenger and/or driver. I have tried to get gm/Chevrolet to replace and their option was for me to spend $800 to replace their dashboard that has material defects. That does not seem acceptable and I am sure is not practical considering I have read there are thousands of people with the same issue. Can the NHTSA help?.
The dash is cracked in 2 places near the passenger dash airbag and directly up the dash where the speedometer is located. I'm concerned this could be a safety issue in the event of an accident.
My dash is cracking and getting worse every day. I've seen hundreds of pictures of similar gm vehicles that have the same issue. I've been dealing with my insurance on this issue for over a year and have concluded that this is a defective product. My one of my cracks has reached the passenger airbag and may become a huge liability for the manufacturer. What are my options on moving forward?.
The dash on my Tahoe has broken right next to the passenger air bag. It has actually broken a piece of in the air bag. It is my understanding that this is a common problem with these vehicles as the dash is not structurally sound. My fear is that if the air bag is deployed that shards of plastic will be embedded in the passenger. This is the only defect on the dash and it appears to have happened at the weakest point.
The dash board is cracked in three different spots and one is right at the passenger air bag. The dealership will not fix cause it's not under warranty. I feel like this is a safety hazard and gm needs to fix this issue.
The dash is cracking in 2 places. One at the airbag which is a concern if it causes a malfunction with the airbag and the other is over the instrument panel where I am sure when dust and dirt gets down in it, there will be more damage caused.
The dashboard has cracked and repositioned itself. These cracks occurred over a period of 3 weeks until the dash repositioned itself. These cracks occurred in the normal course of driving and parking the vehicle. This repositioning is a direct result of the cracks. The passenger airbag appears to be affected by this condition posing a safety risk to any front seat passenger. These risks include improper deployment of airbag preventing proper passenger protection in a collision and pieces of the dash becoming sharp plastic projectiles if the airbag does deploy causing serious bodily injury and possibly death.
The dash has cracked in several places. What is alarming is there are cracks around the passenger airbag and if it ever deploys I'm afraid there will be exploding pieces of the dash going everywhere. The passenger seat belt gets tight and will not release until fully retracted.
Cracked dash in 2 places.
Vehicle dash cracked on the passenger side. A straight crack in the dash going from the air vent/defroster to the passenger air bag. A complete crack in the dash exists 2-4 inches long.
Dash cracking severely around airbag on passenger side,, if deployed may cause additional damage from shrapnel from broken plastic pieces. This ongoing and progressive, started about two years ago.
Crack in dashboard near passenger airbag.
My dash has been cracking and I have a crack in between the passenger airbag. I'm very concerned about this problem. I'm afraid that the airbag can deploy and enger my passenger in there face. I've tried to address this issue with the dealership, but I've gotten no help, especially now since my warranty has expired. I really hope I can get some help with this major problem and concern I have with my dash.
