Was driving down 95 by howland Maine when my airbag light came on, I pulled over shut truck off and restarted it still didn't go away, so I decided to just drive it right to garage we're I founded out it could be a few things, so I got 2 brand new airbag sensors but after we put them in, it still didn't go off. But I seen we're your company put this airbag recall out. I was wondering if that could be why? I got paperwork we're we put sensors in.

I have been trying for years to get the takata air bag replaced in my vehicle but the dealer refuses to do it.
- Houston, TX, USA
I purchased this vehicle new and have seen notices regarding problems with the type of air bags it has for years but unable to have the problem addressed. Others I know with the same airbags have had them successfully replaced by the dealer of their vehicles, such as Honda and Nissan, etc. It makes no sense that an american manufacturer keeps obtaining exceptions and waivers to correct this safety issue. I am very concerned as I live in a high heat, high humidity area, Florida, which is said to exacerbate the problem. It imperative the airbags be replaced immediately. Please advise regarding how this can be achieved.

The dash on the passenger side is cracked and could hurt someone if the airbags were to deploy. This is a very common issue with the 2009 Silverado. Also, the lifters are very bad and will stop working if the afm isn't turned off. I thought my engie was dead when going 70 and the lifter go out. Lost all power and had to tow it to a shop. This has happened twice.
- Georgetown, KY, USA
I was informed that I have a recall for the takata airbag in my 2009 Silverado 1500 as of May 27, 2016. As of yet GM is saying no remedy but in the meantime I am driving an unsafe truck because I live in Florida in hot humid weather and that is the factor that effects the airbags! this is a one owner vehicle that I purchased as new and I believe $ years is long enough to find a remedy!
