HELLO, I WAS JUST AT MOSSY GMC IN NEW ORLEANS,LA., WHERE I WENT TO SEE ABOUT GETTING MY RECALLED AIRBAG ORDERED AND REPLACED. THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT WHEN THEY CHANGE OUT THE AIRBAG, MOST OF THE TIME THE DASHBOARD CRACKS EVEN MORE, WHERE THEY WILLBE WORKING, BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE BROKEN DASHBOARD. I FEEL THAT THIS IS TOTALLY REDICULOUS! IF I DIDN'T HAVE THAT DAMAGE BEFORE GOING INTO A SERVICE CENTER, AND NOW I HAVE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE SERVICE CENTER, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TO PAY FOR A NEW DASHBOARD OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I FEEL THAT A CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD COMPOUND THE SEVERITY OF A CAR CRASH, BEING SAID, IT COULD SHATTER INTO PIECES UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND SEND SHARDS OF DASHBOARD FLYING AT BOTH THE DRIVER AND THEIR PASSENGERS. THE SHARDS, COULD ALSO LACERATE THE AIRBAGS AND RENDER THEM USELESS. PLEASE HELP ME OUT WITH THIS SITUATION.

TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG GM RECALL N212328780. GM SAFETY RECALL LETTER DATED 02/2021 INDICATING PART IS NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED ONCE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. I REQUEST, WITH CONCERN, AN INVESTIGATION BE PERFORMED ON THE AIRBAG PROPELLANT COMPONENTS FOR SIGNS OF EXPANSION PROBLEM WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED A CRACK/SPLIT IN VEHICLE DASH SURFACE. THIS COMPLETE CRACK/SPLIT IS LOCATED NEAR UPPER LEFT CORNER OF RECALLED PASSENGER AIRBAG/COVER. DASH APPEARS TO BE SLIGHTLY RAISED IN THAT AREA OF CRACK/SPLIT. PREVIOUS GM RECALL ISSUED FOR SAME DASH PROBLEM FOR OTHER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES?

I KEEP RECEIVING THE LETTERS ABOUT MY RECALL BUT THE AIR BAG IS NEVER IN STOCK, I ALSO HAVE A CHEVY TAHOE 2011 WITH SAME ISSUE

CONTACTED GM CORPORATE, THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME AND TO CALL THE LOCAL DEALER TO SCHEDULE GETTING THE SERVICE TO GET DONE. LOCAL DEALER DOES NOT HAVE ANY INFORMATION, IS NOT ABLE TO GET PARTS, AND IS NOT WILLING TO DO SERVICE AS IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS ITS NOT IN GM'S SYSTEM. GM IS CONTINUING TO STALL AND THIS HAS BEEN A FOUR YEAR ORDEAL. LOCAL DEALER HAS NO TIMEFRAME OF WHEN THE SYSTEM WILL BE UPDATED SO THEY CAN BEGIN THE WORK, THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET PARTS OR IF THEY WILL EVEN BE ABLE TO GET PARTS.

PLASTIC "MOLDED RIVETS" ARE BREAKING ON THE KNEE BOLSTER THAT HOLDS THE METAL SHIELD BEHIND IT. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS SHIELD IS TO GUARD FROM INJURY FROM THE STEERING COLUMN DURING A CRASH. I'VE READ REPORTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE REMOVING THIS GUARD SINCE IT HAS STARTED RATTLING. I WILL NOT REMOVE MINE, BUT I'M NOT GOING TO INSTALL BOLTS THROUGH THE KNEE BOOSTER TO SECURE IT. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE REMAINING PLASTIC BREAKS FREE AND THIS WILL BE DISCARDED. IF IT'S TRULY A SAFETY ITEM, I BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO HAVE BETTER SECURITY THAN MOLDED INTO THE BRITTLE PLASTIC THAT WE ALL KNOW GM HAS IN THESE TRUCKS FROM THE LAWSUIT ON DASHBOARDS.

DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, ESPECIALLY AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG, POSSIBLY CREATING SHRAPNEL IN AN ACCIDENT.
