TAKATA RECALL - GMC WILL NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAGS UNDER THIS RECALL. MANY ATTEMPTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT, BUT EACH TIME THEY HAVE DENIED REPLACEMENT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FROM 2+ YEARS. THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE WITH THIS DEFECT.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYS ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF, SAYS TO CHECK AIR BAGS, NO ACCIDENTS SO WHY WOULD THIS COME ON? THE SATBILITRACK LIGHT STAYS ON.

THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION SWITCH, WHEN I INSERT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, IT WON'T TURN, IT BIND, ITS STOCK, VERY HARD TO TURN.

TAKATA "RECALL" HEAT AND HUMIDITY MAGNIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA SINCE IT'S BUILD. WE ARE GROUND ZERO FOR HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I'VE BEEN APPLYING FOR THIS RECALL FOR A VERY LONG TIME WITH NO RESULTS. THIS DELAY TACTIC MIGHT LOWER THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH RECALL, AT THE EXPENSE OF OWNERSHIP HEALTH AND WELL-BEING. ENOUGH KICKING THIS CAN DOWN THE ROAD. FORCE GM TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED IN MAY 2016 OF THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS FOR MY 2011 GMC PICKUP (GM RECALL # 2049151, HTSA # 16V381). I CHECK WITH MY DEALER (EDD ROGERS IN SPARTA, TN) EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR A 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET. I FIND IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET TAKATA TO GET THIS FIX TAKEN CARE OF IN OVER TWO YEARS!! WILL IT TAKE MY WIFE OR I BEING INJURED OR KILLED TO FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS? WE HAVE HEARD VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL JUST RECENTLY GETTING A CARD FROM TAKATA HOLDINGS, INC. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT IS TAKATA CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL THAT GM NEEDS TO FIND OTHER AIRBAGS COMPATIBLE WITH THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HAVE THIS SITUATION FINALIZED ASAP! GM CAN THEN GO AFTER TAKATA FOR REIMBURSEMENT! I WANT....NO....I NEED THIS RECTIFIED ASAP BEFORE ANYONE IN MY FAMILY, INCLUDING ME, GETS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THE INACTION OF THE NHTSA, GM OR TAKATA!

SPARE TIRE WILL NOT LOWER AS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL, DEALERS ARE UNABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, WHICH COULD LEAD TO BEING STRANDED ON THE ROAD IN ADVERSE WEATHER.
