2007 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500 Airbags Problems

TAKATA RECALL. (THIS NOT AN ACCIDENT REPORT.) ON 2/20/17 I CALLED A LOCAL AUTHORIZED CHEV DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK FOR AN AIRBAG DEFECT. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, 2/20/29 ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE FOR THE UPCOMING RENEWAL PERIOD MARYLAND DMV WROTE "PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MANUFACTURERS AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE AT NO COST." SO, I AM PRETTY CONFUSED AS WHAT TO DO. IT HAD BEEN EXACTLY 2 YEARS SINCE MY FIRST NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I AM STILL BEING GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER WHILE I AM ALSO STILL BEING TOLD TO CONTACT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? AM I JUST BEING GIVEN THE RUNAROUND? PLEASE ADVISE AS I DO NOT WANT TO ENDANGER MY FAMILY OR ANYONE ELSE SHOULD THIS EXPLODE UNEXPECTEDLY. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

TAKARA RECALL. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM TWO YEARS AGO IDENTIFYING MY VEHICLE AS AFFECTED BY THE AIRBAG RECALL AND WAS ALSO INFORMED I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE RECEIVING THE NOTICE AND I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN, IF EVER, GM PLANS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLES AIRBAGS. I FEEL THAT GM IS TAKING IT'S TIME IN HOPE THAT AFFECTED VEHICLES AGE OUT AND ARE NO LONGER ON THE ROAD. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS OF HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BY GM?
