TAKATA RECALL. DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE BAGS TO INFLATE YET, GRATEFULLY. JUST CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT FIXED AND FROM WHAT I READ, THERE IS NOT A FIX ON THE HORIZON. I FIND THIS UNSETTLING. IS THERE A TIME LINE FOR THIS FIX? DO I HAVE CAUSE FOR ALARM AFTER ALL THIS TIME? I HAVE READ THAT THE PROPELLANT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME AND HOT WEATHER. I LIVE IN A VERY HOT CLIMATE.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING BY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND I FEEL LIKE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE PASSENGER IF I GOT INTO A CRASH.

THE DASHBOARD IS ALL CRACKED, ONE BEING A REALLY BIG AND ALL ALONG THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THOSE PIECES CAN REALLY CAUSE PAIN. I HAVE MORE PHOTOS BUT FILES TO BIG TO UPLOAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500 EQUIPPED WITH BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO2 TIRES, SIZE: 265/70/R17. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE BLEW OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE DAMAGES TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE CORNER PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DISCOUNT TIRE (20690 US-281, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78258, (210) 499-4730) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR FROM STRIKING A CURB. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AN INSPECTOR CONFIRMED THAT THE DAMAGE WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR FROM STRIKING A CURB. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 177,208 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

STABILITRAK OFF/REDUCED ENGINE POWER CAME ON AGAIN AFTER 3 UNSUCCESSFUL 'FIXES' AT GMC DEALER. I WAS DRIVING 30MPH OVER A HILL WHEN MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED RESPONDING. COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. WENT INTO ONCOMING LANE BUT FORTUNATELY I WASN'T HIT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TRUCK TO SHOULDER AND WAIT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE BEING ABLE TO TURN ON AGAIN AND GET IT HOME. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER EVERY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THEY ONLY REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. IT'S THE SECOND TIME THE TRUCK HAS STOPPED RESPONDING WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON A HIGHWAY 99 WHEN ALL LIGHTS CAME ON AND TRUCK STARTED SLOWING DOWN DUE TO LACK OF ENGINE POWER. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ONCE AND HAD TO GET TRUCK TOWED FOR A TOTAL OF $430. I'M FEELING UNSAFE IN MY VEHICLE AND GM HAS IGNORED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES KEEP COMING OFF. IT APPEARS THAT THE MATERIAL USED IS CHEAP PLASTIC. THIS CAUSES THE MECHANISM INSIDE TO EASILY BREAK WITH THE NATURAL CONSTANT OPENING AND CLOSING OF THE DOORS FORM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN SEE CLEAR CHEAP GLUS IS USED TO ADHERE THE PLASTIC AND THIS JUST MAKES NO SENSE CONSIDERING HOW MUCH THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR THE VEHICLE TO HAVE CHEAP DOOR HANDLES ALMOST AS DURABLE AS THOS OF MATTEL RACE CARS SOLD AT WALMART.

RECEIVED NOTIFICATION SUMMER OF 2016 OF THE ISSUE AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS SINCE THAT LETTER AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION ON THIS BEING CORRECTED ON MY VEHICLE. I AM ESTIMATING ON THE DATE THE LETTER WAS SENT. I HAVE A COPY BUT NOT AT THE TIME OF ME SUBMITTING THIS INFORMATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY EVERY TIME I CHECK MY RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK I FIND IT DOES HAVE AN AIRBAG RECALL ON IT BUT WHEN I CHECK WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT I GET "INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE"? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE I, ON SOMEONE ELSE, GETS INJURED OR I PASS AWAY AWAITING THE REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND GENERAL MOTORS DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO CORRECT THIS BUT WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO FORCE THEM TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SAVE SOME LIVES OR INJURIES? MY VIN FOR MY GMC TRUCK IS: [XXX] AND IT WAS ON THE RECALL, IT IS MODEL C10753 MADE IN 10/10 ENGINE = 5.3L 8CYL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
