TAKATA RECALL IT IS NOW APRIL 23RD OF 2019 AND IF I CALL A SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO GET MY RECALL TAKEN CARE OF THEY TELL ME THEY STILL DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION. IT HAS BEEN 3YRS AND STILL NO SOLUTION?

MY 2009 AVALANCHE LTZ HAS A DASH THAT HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY IN HALF, PLUS IS CRACKING ON THE AIRBAG PASSENGER SURROUND. MY CONCERN OTHER THAN SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IS LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL WHEN THE DASH PIECES LODGE THEMSELVES BETWEEN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE DASH HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED OR DAMAGED BY THE OWNER IN ANY WAY, AND THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. ALMOST WITHOUT EXCEPTION I HAVE NOTICED THIS DEFECT IN EVERY TRUCK OF THIS TYPE. PLEASE HAVE AN AGENT CONTACT ME IF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IS NECESSARY. MY LOCAL DEALER WANTS $1600 TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECT.
