2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN CALLING ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS AND GETTING THE RUNAROUND. THE LATEST IS ITS IN LITIGATION AND THEY WILL GET BACK TO ME. WHY IS FORD FIXING THIS PROBLEM AND GM IS NOT? I'M STILL DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE PEOPLE IN EVERY DAY (5 KIDS)

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. THE CONTACT WAITED MORE THAN TWO YEARS. THE DEALER (ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET, 5501 DREXEL RD, LAS VEGAS, NV 89130, (702) 967-5500) INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE; THEREFORE, THEY WERE UNABLE TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2017, WHILE IDLING AT A LIGHT WITH A GREEN ARROW TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, ANOTHER VEHICLE DROVE THROUGH A RED LIGHT AND CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER WAS RESTRAINED BY THE SEAT BELT AS WELL AS THE TWO REAR CHILD PASSENGERS. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY THE DEALER TO DETERMINE WHY THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FACILITY TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE; HOWEVER, THE AIR BAG PARTS WERE NOT REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

STABILITY CONTROL WARNING POPS UP ON DISPLAY, RESULTING IN A SEVERE POWER REDUCTION. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE SPEED TO DROP FROM 70 MPH TO AROUND 35MPH INSTANTLY. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN A REAR END COLLISION, OF COURSE. THIS WAS ONLY PREVENTED BY A VERY ALERT DRIVER BEHIND ME. I READ THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE BY GM TO PROVIDE A SAFETY RECALL
