2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DEALER HAS DONE NOTHING TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG PARTS CALLED THEM A MONTH AGO REFF# 8-2304849524 THIS IS A TAKATA RECALL.

DASH CRACKS BEGAN APPEARING AROUND 28,000 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 62,000 MILES AND FOUR CRACKS. ORIGINALLY, THE CRACKS WERE NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. NOW, THESE CRACKS ARE NOT JUST AESTHETICALLY DISPLEASING, BUT CONCERNS ARE RAISED ABOUT THE CRACKS AROUND THE FRONT AIRBAG AND SAFETY ISSUES WITH REGARD TO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. CRACKS JUST BECAME NOTICEABLE ONE DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS ALWAYS PAMPERED, KEPT IN A GARAGE AND PROTECTED BY SUNSHADES WHEN OCCASIONALLY PARKED OUTSIDE. UPON COMPLAINING, GM OFFERED TO FIX IT FOR HALF OF RETAIL COST...$500 INSTEAD OF $1100.

DASH IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AROUND AIRBAG. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BUGS OUT WHEN DRIVING IN RAIN RNGINE CONSUMES 2 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN CHANGES

TAKATA RECALL / GM RECALL 49152. MY WIFE & I RECEIVED THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL FROM GM. IN THE BODY OF THE RECALL LETTER IT STATES THAT TAKATA HAD DECIDED OUR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE. GM STATES THEY WILL ISSUE A RECALL UNLESS THE CAN PROVE THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT DEFECTIVE. SO, I CALLED GM TO SEE WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME TO COMPLETE THIS INVESTIGATION. GM COULD NOT PROVIDE ME WITH ANY INFORMATION ON HOW LONG IT WOULD BE FOR GM TO FINISH IT'S INVESTIGATION. IN FACT GM DIDN'T EVEN INDICATE THEY HAVE STARTED YET. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AS A CONSUMER. NOW I'M LEFT WITH A CAR I PURCHASED NEW FROM GM AND AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE FOR IT'S INTENDED PURPOSE. ONE HAS TO ASSUME THAT GM DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE WHEN PURCHASING THE AIRBAGS AND NOW THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT DECISION IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR GM. IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THE LONGER IT TAKES FOR GM TO PROVE THE RECALL IS NOT WARRANTED THE FEWER RECALLED VEHICLES WILL BE ON THE ROAD WHICH I HAVE NO DOUBT WILL BE A BENEFIT TO GM BUT CERTAINLY NOT TO THE CONSUMER. THE SIMPLE QUESTION "HOW LONG WILL GM'S INVESTIGATION TO PROVE TO NHTSA'S SAFITSFACTION THE RECALL IS NOT NEEDED TAKE?". THIS LEAVES THE CONSUMER IN A SITUATION WITH NO IDEA OF WHEN A RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM WILL COME.

NO FIX NO RESOLVE MY VEHICLE THE INFLATORS TAKATA AIR BAG NO RECEIVING THE SECON RECALL NOTICE MY NUMBER RECALL IS #49151.
