Bonjour j'habite en France et procède un Chevrolet Tahoe V8 5,3 de 2007. il fait partie de la liste des véhicule dont l'air bag doit être remplacé et aucun garage en France ne veut faire la réparation et prise en charge. Pouvez-vous me dire comme et vers qui me tourner pour que le remplacement de cet Air bag puisse être pris en charge et réparer? Merci d'avance Cordialement Mr Lamy

I was driving down the street and all side airbags deployed out of nowhere, the seats belts that were not occupied locked, the seat belts that were occupied did not lock. The vehicle was able to drive to safety. The back latch would not open to allow me to remove my stroller.
Front airbag and rollover airbag are not working.
Drivers side air bag barely inflated but something is causing aching in my ear and hearing is a little funny. My arm was cut from whatever blew out of 1 of the front airbags. I never received anything about any recalls.

I FINALLY JUST RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM GM THAT THE PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN MY VEHICLE. DURING THE 14 YEARS THAT GM HAS TAKEN TO RESPOND TO THE SAFETY PROBLEM MY DASHBOARD WHICH IS MADE FROM PLASTIC HAS SEVERAL CRACKS IN IT. I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE AIRBAG INFLATOR AT NO CHARGE BUT WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DASHBOARD WHICH WILL BREAK UP AND COME OUT IN PIECES ONCE REMOVED DUE TO DETERIORATION AND CRACKS. THE COST FOR THE DASHBOARD PARTS IS EXPECTED TO EXCEED $1,100.00. I THEN CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 800-630-2438 AND SPOKE TO JECC WHICH INFORMED ME THAT NO, GM WILL NOT REPLACE ANY OTHER PARTS OTHER THAN THE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM COULD BE SO COMPLACENT IN DELAYING FOR 14 YEARS THE INSTALLATION OF THIS CRITICAL SAFETY PART WHICH HAS PUT MY PASSENGERS AT RISK OF BEING IMPALED BE METAL SHRAPNEL IF IN AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY AFTER DELAYING THE INSTALLATION OF THIS PART FOR SO LONG THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO REPLACE ALL THE NECESSARY PARTS TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. I WILL BE DELAYING THE RECALL PROCEDURE DUE TO THE HIGH COST OF THE REPAIR AND IN THE MEANTIME TRYING NOT TO CARRY ANY PASSENGERS. MY FATHER GOT A RECALL ON HIS 2013 FORD EDGE A FEW YEARS AGO FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY REPLACED THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED AND THE DASHBOARD WAS NOT EVEN CRACKED. IT WAS NOT EVEN AN ISSUE. I WOULD THANK YOU IF YOU COULD PASS THIS ON TO ANY HIGHER AUTHORITIES AT GM. IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT OR THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY.
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.

THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT FOR YEAR AND STILL HAS NO REMEDY?
OUR 2007 CHEVY TAHOE WAS PARKED/STATIONARY, ENGINE ON, CAR IN PARK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, AND PARKED ON A DIRT DRIVEWAY. I GOT INTO THE DRIVER SIDE AND SHUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHEN THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT ROW, SECOND ROW, AND THIRD ROW ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED. THE SEAT BELTS FOR THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER LOCKED UP AND ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK AND ARE NOT USABLE.
DASH BOARD CRACKED AND AIRBAG RECALL STILL OPEN
MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049152 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V383 RECALL STATUS RECALL : RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. TRIED CALL GM REPEATEDLY WITH NO RESPONSE, JUST A CIRCLE OF HOLDING AND MISCONNECTIONS. DOES THE MANUFACTURER HAVE ANY IDEA WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE? IT HAS BEEN SINCE 2016 AND THE REMEDY IS STILL NOT YET AVAILABLE!
MULTIPLE DASHBOARD CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOW ON DRIVERS SIDE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THE TAHOE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE GARAGE WHEN PARKED AT HOME.
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
