SEVERE DASH CRACKING, HAS ABOUT 5-6 MAJOR CRACKS, INCLUDING AROUND THE AIRBAG AREA. CONCERN FOR HOW THE AIRBAG MIGHT CAUSE PIECERS OF PLASTIC TO INJURE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY. VERY CONCERNED WHEN I HAVE THREE KIDS DRIVING IN THE TRUCK. NOT TO MENTION THERE STILL HASNT BEEN A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SITUATION. THIS IS NOT GOOD!

TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL # 16V381 I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN SANTA ROSA CA ON NUMEROUS OCASSIONS DURING THE PAST 2 YEARS IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE AIR BAG REPLACED. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE.

I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY TRUCK FRAME. IT IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH IN A FEW SPOTS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE IT IS TO KEEP DRIVING. THIS IS A COMBINATION OF POOR ENGINEERING/ CHEAP STEEL FROM GM'S SIDE AND THE HIGHLY CORROSIVE CHEMICALS THAT ARE PUT ON THE ROADS IN NEW ENGLAND FROM THE DOT. GM HAS CLEARLY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I AM ON MY OWN TO COVER THE COST OF A NEW FRAME OR A NEW VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG OF MY TRUCK BACK IN 2016 BUT NO ONE WILL FIX OR REPLACE IT. EVERY TIME I CALL TAKATA OR SOME NUMBER ON THE ORIGINAL NOTICE THEY DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE MY AIRBAG CAUSES A PROBLEM OR DEATH?

TAKARA RECALL. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I HAD A SERVICE LIGHT ON FOR THE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE GM CERTIFIED DEALER. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT THEY FIGURED IT WAS THE SDM. THEIR BEST GUESS AND TO START WITH THAT. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY, IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS AS OF YET. SO THROUGHOUT THE COURSE THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. ON SEPTEMBER 20TH AFTER DROPPING OFF MY CHILD AT DAY CARE, I WENT TO WORK EARLY FOR A MEETING. I PARKED IN MY NORMAL SPOT AND WENT IN. AFTER MY HOUR LONG MEETING MY MANAGER HAD NOTIFIED ME, THAT MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. IT WAS OFF, PARKED, AND AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN. IF I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MEETING, THEY WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD'VE KILLED ME AND MY CHILD. I DO HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THEM DEPLOYING FROM MY WORKS SECURITY CAMERAS.

EXTENSIVE FRAME DAMAGE FROM PREMATURE RUST. THIS FRAME AT ONLY 10 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT BE RUSTED COMPLETELY THOUGH.
