TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A CONSTANT LOSS OF SPEED AND PREMATURE MOTOR FAILURE. THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) WARNING INDICATOR KEPT ILLUMINATING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED FOUR TSBS ON THE ESC. THE DEALER (WILLIAMS CHEVROLET, 2600 US-31, TRAVERSE CITY, MI 49684, (231) 946-1111) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE IF THE REMEDY AND PART WERE AVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THIS RECALL IS GOING ON 2 YEARS NOW AND THERE STILL HAS NOT BEEN A FIX IDENTIFIED. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE WHEN IT DIRECTLY IMPACTS DRIVER/PASSENGER SAFETY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT?

DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD DECK AREA SURROUNDING PASSENGER AIRBAG IS HEAVILY CRACKED WITH SHARP EDGES WHICH POSE A HAZARD IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. SHARP DASHBOARD CRACK EDGES ON DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE MAY BE STRUCK BY DRIVER OR PASSENGER IN AN ACCIDENT OR MAY BECOME AIR BORN RESULTING IN SEVER INJURY AND/OR BLINDNESS IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I CANNOT GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER THIS RECALL. GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT EVEN IF IT MEANS USING AIRBAGS FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER.
