NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, THANKFULLY, BUT THESE VEHICLES HAVE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND WE STILL AREN'T ABLE TO GET THEM REPAIRED. HOW LONG UNTIL THERE IS ACTION. COMMERCIALS TELL US TO GET THE REPAIRS DONE, BUT WE CAN'T YET.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET TO THAT POINT. WHEN IS THIS TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL GOING TO BE RESOLVED? IT HAS BEEN OVER 3 YEARS SINCE IT WAS PUT OUT. I WOULD LIKE SOME ANSWERS. IF I WAIT FOR AN INCIDENT TO OCCUR, IT WILL BE TOO LATE. MY WIFE SITS AT THAT PASSENGER SEAT AND WE LIVE IN GEORGIA WHERE IT IS VERY HOT AND HUMID. ALL OF THESE CONDITIONS SUGGESTS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT AN INCIDENT MAY OCCUR. PLEASE REACH AND ASSURE YOUR CUSTOMERS THAT A FIX IS IN THE WORKS AND NOT GHOST THE POPULATION THAT OWNS AND OPERATES THESE VEHICLES EVERYDAY. THANK YOU.

MY CAR IS ONE OF THE MANY VEHICLES THAT ARE BEING DRIVEN ON A DAILY BASIS RISKING THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY BECAUSE WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF THIS RECALL HAS NOT DONE ENOUGH TO FIX THE PROBLEM REGARDING THIS FLAWED AIRBAGS THAT MAKE US PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH WITH OUR LIFE'S EVERYDAY THAT WE HAVE TO DRIVE OUR CARS TO GO TO WORK OR PICK UP OUR KIDS FROM SCHOOL. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR A REPAIR SINCE WE BOUGHT OUR CAR ON MAY 2017. BUYING AMERICAN DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A VIABLE OPTION ANYMORE. SO FAR WE HAVE DRIVEN THIS DEATH TRAP FOR ABOUT 26000 MILES. EVERY MORNING BOTH OF US AS DRIVERS PRAY THAT THAT DAY WON'T BE THE DAY THE AIR BAGS INFLATE IF WE GET IN A FENDER BENDER

DASH HAS TWO CRACKS RIGHT ABOVE THE DRIVER'S STEERING SECTION NEAR THE MIDDLE. IT SHAKES WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSES A TREMENDOUS DISTRACTION DUE TO THE WAY IT FLAPS. THIS IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE WINDSHIELD DURING NORMAL DRIVING ON INTERSTATES AND NORMAL STATE ROADS. THE MOVEMENT IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT, TIRES ALIGNED AND BALANCED, IT DOES NOT HELP. THIS IS A DANGEREOUS DISTRACTION AND A DASH SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING THIS QUICKLY, THIS IS A WIDE PROBLEM ACROSS MANY GM TRUCKS AND SUVS.

'TAKATA RECALL' RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL(GM RECALL 49151) IN JULY 2016 SINCE THEN I CALL EVERY YEAR TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF THE RECALL AND THEY ALWAYS TELL ME THERE IS NO NEED TO TAKE ACTION NOW. IT HAS BEEN OVER 3 YEARS NOW SINCE THIS DEFECT HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE TO REMEDY MY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS TIME FRAME HAS BEEN LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFE AGAIN, SO MY QUESTION IS HOW MANY MORE YEARS DO I HAVE TO WAIT AND IS MY TRULY VEHICLE SAFE?

DASH AROUND AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT PANEL IS SEVERELY CRACKED. KNOWN MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT.
