1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 10/20/2017

Takata recall in July 2016, I received a letter from GMC stating that my 2010 GMC Sierra 1500 was built with defective takata airbags. I have called crabtree Buick GMC in bristol, va. , once in 2016 and again in summer of 2017 and parts aren't available at this time for installation. I would seriously like to have the newer, safer airbag inflators installed ASAP!!.

2 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2017

Cracked dashboard - dashboard is deteriorating. Numerous cracks. Vehicle is parked in the shade 90% of the time and only has 23,000 miles on it. It has never been in any accident. There is a dashboard crack next to the airbag on the dashboard. My concern is with the takata inflators and potential shrapnel produced from the rotting dashboard becoming airborne during an accident. There is a website that shows the majority of these gm dashboards are defective and falling apart beyond cosmetic appearance. What kind of safety testing has been done in relation to cracked dashboards causing injuries? there should be a solution to the takata inflator issue and a recall on gm cracked plastic dashboards. It is past August of 2017 and I have heard nothing regarding the airbag issue solution. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle.
