TAKATA RECALL ITS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE THE RECAL HAS BEEN ISSUED. GM STILL HAS NOT DETERMINED A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THEY WERE GIVEN UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO FIND A RESOLUTION. NOW NEARLY A YEAR LATER THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND CONTINUE TO PUT THEIR CONSUMERS LIVES AT RISK TO SAVE MONEY. THIS IS BEYOND UNACCEPTABLE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO FINALLY STEP UP AND FORCE THEM TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR KILLED.

I RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR THE RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS BACK IN JULY OF 2017, I HAVE ASKED MY DEALER TODAY, AND AS OF TODAY, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS ALMOST A YEAR AND A HALF LATER. I WOULD SAY THAT THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN FEAR OF INJURY IF DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG TAKES PLACE. I HAVE ONLY PUT FEW THOUSAND MILES ON THE VEHICLE SINCE RECEIVING THE RECALL NOTICE.

"TAKATA RECALL" THERE IS NO REASON WHY THIS HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED YET! BY GENERAL MOTORS OR TAKATA (WHICH IS NOW GOING BANKRUPT!) I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING AROUND A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE SAFETY EQUIPMENT! THERE IS NO SOLUTION AND I'VE CONTACTED DEALERS!

TAKATA RECALL: MY LOCAL GM DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THEY SAY THEY CURRENTLY HAVE NO REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I GUESS THE FACT THAT MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON IS A PURE COINCIDENCE, AS WELL. I JUST RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE THAT TAKATA, THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURING COMPANY IS NOW FILING CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY. THE NOTICE SAYS TO IMMEDIATELY CONTACT MY CAR'S MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REMEDIED. I FEEL LIKE THIS WILL BE A LOST CAUSE CONSIDERING THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $112 TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GM'S "IMPECCABLE" SERVICE. I FEEL LIKE WE'RE STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE. WE ALSO HAD AN INFINITI WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY PROMPTLY AND PROFESSIONALLY HANDLED THE SITUATION. THIS HAS NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE WITH GM.

I'M WRITING THIS AS JUST LIKE LOADS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BOTH A 07 YUKON DENALI AND AN 07 SILVERADO 2500 BOTH HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE DENALI IS THE WORST. CRACKED DASHBOARD. I'M WORRIED THAT IF I WAS TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY THAT SHARP PIERCES OF THE DASHBOARD WILL GO FLYING TOWARDS THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE. GM REALLY SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON THIS AS IT IS A COMMON ISSUE RIGHT THROUGH ALL THE VECHILES THAT SHARE THE SAME DASHBOARD. SEEMS LATELY EVERY WEEK THE CRACKS GET WORSE. I'M WAITING FOR THE DAY THE DASHBOARD FALLS TO PIECES. IT STARTED AROUND APRIL BUT SINCE THEN THE DASH HAS FALLEN TO PIECES SO MUCH SINCE THEN.

I HAVE RECEIVED PAPERWORK JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY INFLATORS ARE DEFECTIVE ACCORDING TO TAKATA. THE WORDING STATES THEIR DEFECTIVE OPERATION DUE TO DEGRADATION COULD RESULT IN "RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." ON THE SAME NOTICE, GM STATES THEY WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO STATE MY VEHICLE IS "SAFE TO DRIVE". FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM IS ALLOWED TO COVER THEMSELVES BY SENDING OUT SUCH A CONTRADICTORY LETTER. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP IN JULY 2016, OCTOBER 2016, AND NOW AUG. 2017. I AM CONTINUALLY TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE ALSO NO PARTS AVAILABLE YET FOR A REPAIR......... NOW, IN AN ATTEMPT TO SELL THE VEHICLE, POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS ARE LOOKING UP THE VIN, SEEING THIS RELATED INFORMATION AND TELLING ME THEY CAN'T BUY IT FROM ME WITHOUT ME REPAIRING IT, OR THEY CAN'T PAY NEAR MY ASKING PRICE. SO..... I HAVE A VEHICLE MY WIFE DOESN'T LIKE TO DRIVE, I CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO PARTS AND THEY AREN'T REQUIRED TO DO ANYTHING YET BECAUSE NHTSA IS GIVING THEM MORE TIME, AND I CAN'T EASILY SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT COMES UP ON THIS LISTING IN A VIN SEARCH REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE OR NOT. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE TREATMENT OF ME BY BOTH PARTIES.

THE TOP OF THE DASH HAS THREE CRACKS, TWO BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL & GAUGE CLUSTER AND ONE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOOR. IN RESEARCHING I SEE THAT THIS IS BECOMING MORE AND MORE COMMON ON THE TAHOE, YUKON, ESCALADE AND ASSORTED GM TRUCKS IN THE 2007-2011 RANGE. IN SOME CASES, MINE IN PARTICULAR, THE CRACKS HAVE GOTTEN QUITE LARGE AND JAGGED TO THE POINT THAT PIECES OF THE DASH ARE LOOSE AND COULD BECOME PROJECTILES OR AFFECT THE AIRBAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. IT IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING AND GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS AND RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. THIS DOES NOT LOOK GOOD FOR GM AND IF SOMETHING IS NOT DONE I WILL NOT INVEST IN ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.

2007 GMC DENALI YUKON XL SERVICE AIR BAGS WARNING DISPLAYED INTERMITTENTLY AFTER ABOUT 40K, AFTER ABOUT 75K CAME ON CONTINUOUSLY. DEALER REPLACED A DRIVER SEAT SENSOR, COSTING $ 400. HE MENTIONED SEAT CONNECTOR ON HARNESS TO SEAT WAS BROKEN AND USUALLY HAPPENS AT A CAR WASH OR SOMETHING ELSE GETS UNDER THE SEAT. ALSO MENTIONED WHILE THE WARNING MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED, AIRBAGS WILL OR MAY NOT DEPLOY AND WOULD BE A DANGER TO SHORT PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SEAT FULLY FORWARD. IT SOUNDS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THIS DEALER KNOWS ABOUT. ALL GM CARS THAT HAVE THIS SYSTEM SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED WITH A RELIABLE CONNECTOR. *TR
