Takata recall. (this not an accident report.) on 2/20/17 I called a local authorized chev dealership about the recall on my truck for an airbag defect. I called again today, 2/20/29 about the same issue. Both times I have been told they do not have any parts to correct the problem. When I went to register my vehicle for the upcoming renewal period Maryland dmv wrote "please contact your local manufacturers authorized dealership to resolve at no cost." So, I am pretty confused as what to do. It had been exactly 2 years since my first notice of this problem and I am still being given the same answer while I am also still being told to contact a dealership to get this repaired. What am I supposed to do" am I just being given the runaround" please advise as I do not want to endanger my family or anyone else should this explode unexpectedly. Thank you.

Takata recall - contacted Chevrolet about the air bag recall, they are unhelpful in wanting to replace the air bag even though the dashboard is starting to crack. I feel that the cracking of the dashboard could cause an accidental deployment of the air bag. Chevrolet is not concerned with my claim. Chevrolet case # 8-3853651363

Takata inflators we were parked at a store when we were leaving we heard a big loud pop like an explosion or like someone hit us on the passenger side smoke came out of the hood on the passenger side, seat belts locked up very tight emergency lights went on and dash board announced 'service airbag' drove it home very carefully. The next day I had a friend come connect a diagnostic computer to see what's the problem it said airbag deployed that same day I called :gmbrcpac@GM.com they called me back early the next morning they were able to tow it to chevrolette turlock auto mall to inspect it took them a week to even take a look at it finally my husband went in and now they are trying to say it's smthing completely different that the air bag is intact it even cracked the dash board on the side U can see the air bag compartment is lifted but it has to do with some seat belt sensor we are meeting tomorrow to see what they came up with but didn't sound good they were saying we had other problems like water leakage which we never had we have had the truck since 2011 never had a major problem with it we took good care of it and we want it fixed very disappointed in Chevrolet they were willing to pay for car rental but wanted me to pay for insurance out if my pocket I've been borrowing my sisters car and I dnt think that was fair either
