2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY CHEVY TAHOE'S AIRBAGS. THE MANUFACTURER STILL DOES NOT HAVE REMEDY. I'M CONCERNED WITH DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND THE SAFETY. WHY CAN'T THIS BE CORRECTED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE DEALER (BOB MCCOSH CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC, 1 BUSINESS LOOP 70 W, COLUMBIA, MO 65203, (573) 442-6156) WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED TO DETERMINE WHEN THE PART WOULD BE SUPPLIED TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE TRIED MANY TIMES TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED OR WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE FOR SEVERAL YEARS BUT AM ALWAYS ADVISED THAT IT CAN'T BE DONE AT THIS TIME

"TAKATA RECALL" -- GM RECALL #2049152; NHTSA #16V383. MY CHEVROLET TAHOE IS NOW 8.5 YEARS OLD. ACCORDING TO MY INFORMATION, IF VEHICLE IS MORE THAN 6 YEARS OLD, IT SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. OUR CHEVROLET SHOULD BE ON TOP OF RECALL LIST. ALTHOUGH NOT CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, PERIODS OF HOT AND HUMID WEATHER EXISTS WHERE I LIVE; THIS CONDITION, AS STATED IN THE RECALL, CAN ADD TO THE INCREASE DEGRADATION OF THE AIRBAG. SINCE I AM NOW HAVING TO PARK THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE (INSTEAD OF A GARAGE), THE INCREASE RISK HAS INCREASED. RECALL IS ALMOST TWO YEARS OLD. REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT SHOULD EXIST BY NOW. CHEVROLET HAS IGNORED MY REQUESTS FOR THIS RECALL REPAIR. THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT TO THE HNTSA

THE DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS CRACKED AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD. I FEAR THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITH PIECES OF THE DASH BECOMING SHAPNEL

DASH CRACKING IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. RECENTLY PIECES BEGAN FALLING OUT AROUND PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF ACCIDENT OCCURRED PIECES COULD BECOME PROJECTILE OBJECTS. OVER 10,500 SIGNATURES ON CHANGE.ORG AND STILL NO RESULTS TO SOLVE THE ISSUES.

TAKATA RECALL - I KNOW I HAVE MISSED THE DEADLINE FOR FILING BUT I CAN'T GET ANY INFORMATION ABOUT MY CAR.ALL I WANT TO KNOW IS IF MY AIRBAGS ARE SAFE OR IF THEY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND HOW I GO ABOUT GETTING THEM REPLACED

CRACKS ON DASHBOARD BE LIVED TO BE FAULTY MATERIAL OR CRAFTSMANSHIP. FEAR OF ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG INFLATION CAUSING DASHBOARD FRAGMENTS INJURING FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACKED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CRACK INVOLVES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER.
