2008 GMC SIERRA 1500 Complaints

CRACKED DASHBOARD EFFECTING AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE STATIONARY AT RESIDENCE IN DRIVEWAY.

MY HUSBAND WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WE CONTACTED GMC THEY SENT SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE. THAT PERSON SAID DUE TO SOME WATER LEAKING IN ON THEM IS WHAT CAUSED IT. NOTHING WAS WET THOUGH. NOW THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP. SEEMS LIKE IF THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE FRONT AIRBAGS IT IS A CHANCE THE SIDE ONES ARE ALSO BAD. THEY HANG LIKE CURTAINS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT SINCE THE SEATBELTS LOCKED ALSO. THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $6000. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS NO FAULT OF OURS. THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH TIME PUT INTO TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. WE CANT E THE ONLY ONES THIS HAPPENED TO. SUGGESTION?

TAKATA RECALL WHY HAVE THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES BEEN NEGLECTED AND NO REPAIRS SOLUTIONS HAS BEEN OFFERED?

TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PENDING FOR YEARS. WEEKLY I RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM NHTSA INVOLVING MORE AND MORE MAKES AND MODELS. MY VEHICLE IS NOW 10 YEARS OLD AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR REPAIR?
