I contacted a dealer to have my airbags replace due to a recall, and they said until Chevrolet release a remedy that they could not fix it.

"takata recall" this recall is still open and active on my vehicle! neither GM or takata are doing anything about this! the GM recall site still states, incomplete, remedy not yet available". this is unacceptable, how long is going to be allowed to continue unresolved? the vehicle is considered dangerous because the airbag is faulty and nothing is being done!

"takata recall" nothing has happened yet. However, we have not been in an accident. We feel like we are rolling the dice every time we use our vehicle. We have seen tv reporting where occupants have been grossly facially disfigured and or blinded from metal scraps from these airbags. Why are we being put at this dangerous risk? since it appears, according to my Chevrolet dealer, we are no closer to having a replacement. Thus, I am requesting that you give the dealership.permission to disable or remove the bag. We would rather take our chances without a dangerous air bag that could explode in our face even in a minor accident, as we have done most of our lives before air bags were mandated. Please advise!

I received an important legal " takata recall"notice that my 2008 Chevy Avalanche is involved in a recall for my airbags. I was instructed to log on to airbags.org. I registered my vehicle. I was instructed to contact a local auto nation Chevy dealership.. it took them all day to get back with me that as of now GM has not come to a decision as on how to deal with airbags recall. I expressed my concern because that recal notice I received was pretty confident that they needed to be replaced. GM service mgr.told me I need not be too concerned. I'm very concerned with there nonchalant attitude. Please lett me know what my options are please. Thank you, ps my airbags haven't deployed but my concern is that they have been known to self deploy for no apparent reason.

I received a recall on March 2016 and nothing was done
- Lanham, MD, USA
I contacted advantage Chevrolet when I received the recall notice telling me to call to schedule repair and was told there is no action to take at this time, why does the recall notice tell me to do this if the dealer isn't going to co-operate, also dealer says I will be notified but recall notice says I will not be notified in the future. I do not have a claim other than being part of this recall.

Takata recall I have called the local Chevrolet dealerships numerous times inquiring about the recall and trying to get the problem serviced. They keep telling me that GM hasn't made a decision on what to do yet. This is unacceptable! it is very dangerous to have possible faulty air bags.
- Crestview, FL, USA
Takata recall is in effect, but the local dealerships said that Chevrolet has not sent replacement parts. This is very irresponsible. If the airbags are not replaced, they should be removed to keep a deadly accident from happening.
- Augusta, GA, USA
Takata recall: I've called the madera, ca Chevrolet and went in person. They don't want to change the airbag on the truck. Not even make an appointment. The lady that helped us said we need to wait for another letter to come in before they change it.

"takata recall" to date no remedy has been set in place and families are at risk. My dealership mentions they can do nothing and at this point and currently there's a crack around the passenger airbag area of my vehicle. I'm very concerned because there appears to be no sense of urgency. Please advise as I have received notification for recall replacement. Thank you.
