3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/03/2019

Takata recall went back to local chevy GMC dealer again for the second time in almost 3 years since I received my recall letter from gm. They looked up recall and again told me that it has been recalled but they haven't agreed on whose going to fix the problem. I am tired of waiting and driving a truck that in my opinion is not safe to drive with this safety related issue. I want this fixed because 3 years is long enough to figure out whose paying and get the job done. If it dosen't get resolved soon I will have to take legal action against gm. I drive this vehicle daily so it needs to be fixed.

My Sierra has the same problem that many other gm vehicles have. The dash is cracking, creating loose pieces. It is cracked at the airbag.
