Takata recall-received a recall letter in July 2016 stating the airbags are defective and that GM will conduct a recall if they are not able to prove to NHTSA they are safe. GM recall 49151. November 2017 received notice of takata bankruptcy proceedings. Following notice I phoned the dealer who sold me the vehicle and was given voicemail. I left a message but they did not return my call. Subsequently phoned GM to inquire into status of recall. I was told my vehicle was safe to drive and that GM was still working with NHTSA. I was told I would be notified if the airbags needed to be replaced. My complaint is that there should be a decision by now. Other manufacturers have already completed recalls and repairs. With takata filing for bankruptcy and GM not making repairs who will take responsibility for the repairs or any associated injuries/deaths?

1/08/2017- bakersfield, ca. Passenger side airbag, for my model it has been identified as defective. Received legal notice this date from tk holdings Inc, monroe wi. They are debtors, who filed chapter 11 for takata corporation. They stated take your vehicle to local dealership immediately to schedule a free repair on a defective or potentially defective airbag inflator. I've known about this issue for over a year now. General Motors, takata corporation are in a legal battle over this airbag issue. In the mean time citizens of our great country are going to be impacted by this continue delay, and cost of all parties involved to prevail in court. The federal govt. Natl. Transportation safety board needs to intervene, and stop this airbag crisis. I would classify this matter as a natl. Security & safety threat because lives will be loss. Everyone involved are not accepting responsibility for this serious dilemma, due to ongoing litigation. I very rarely allow anyone now in my truck, minor fender-bender, airbag deployment, extraction metal shrapnel. Maybe I can get our Washington DC senator of our district apply a little pressure on this matter, election time in 2018, look what happened on 10/07/17, state of Virginia, state of New Jersey, both republicans loss to democrats. This is not time for politics. Lives are and will be loss.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V381000 (air bags); however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. While idling at a stop light, another vehicle suddenly drove through a red light and got T-boned and pushed into the contact's vehicle. The contact's vehicle was severely damaged on the front driver's side. The air bags did not deploy. There were no injuries. A police report was filed. The other two vehicles involved in the crash were totaled. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated prior to the crash. The contact took the vehicle to an unknown independent repair shop in St. George, Utah where it was diagnosed that the rims, grill, tires, and headlight capsule needed to be replaced. The parts were replaced and the air bag sensor system was reprogrammed. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Takata recall - recall was issued 5/27/16 and Chevrolet dealer in ocala and recall website told me there is no remedy yet. I think since more than 1 1/2 years have passed that this is an excessive period of time to have come up with a remedy when my safety is at risk and does this affect the value of my vehicle for trade-in or resale?

"takata recall" there has been active recall for well over a year now on my truck and the dealer keeps telling me when they get the parts to fix it they will contact me to bring it in. How long does it take or how many more lives have to be affected before this will be fixed. I am scared to drive my truck always worried about these air bags. I have been on dealer list for over a year to have fixed. Can you help

Takata recall; called classic Chevrolet of grapevine, they told me that the recall notice was sent out prematurely. My concern is if I get into an accident before the parts become available and the airbags don't function properly, leading to more legal trouble. Find this very unfair and unprofessional.
