"takata recall and GM" corporations" (takata, GM)) have decided to recall the Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2011 for defective air bags. Takata's decision that the driver and the passenger air bag inflators it supplied to GM are defective and advised the consumers to take the vehicles to the dealers for repair of the air bag. I have done so for the past two years and I always get the same response: No parts available for the air bags repair. How can that be possible when smaller dealers like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, etc. Using the same air bags have the parts and have been conducting repairs on vehicles with defective takata's air bags? with this letter, I am requesting with respect for an explanation and a possible solution to this problem that has been going for so long. My Silverado truck has only 24 K miles in it and I bought it in 2011. I am afraid to drive it! I am a subscriber of NHTSA. Please, response.

Takata recall: I received a GM recall notice (#49151) in July 2016 for a defective takata passenger airbag which could accidentally inflate. Although GM states in the notice that the vehicle is safe to drive, it also states--in the same letter--that such an accidental inflation could result in "serious or fatal injuries". (they call this safe!!?) two visits to my local Chevrolet dealership have resulted in no action. I now understand that takata has filed for bankruptcy.

Takata recall we have only recently purchased this vehicle, and noticed the air bag light was on. So by looking at the NHTSA website, the info was there that stated there was a recall, but the replacement parts weren't available, as a new owner of this vehicle, how can I be assured to know that I will be contacted when the parts are available"?also what can I do to keep my family safe until the repair is complete?"

Takata recall and another issue of power loss----- I have taken my truch to the dealership to have the takata air bags replaces and they told me that they do not have the parts to replace them. Power loss: I can be driving and the vehicle goes into a drastic and immediate power reduction. I have nearly bee rear-ended several times and the vehicle jerks suddenly throwing everything forward as though it is nearly a sudden stop. It will not drive over 20 mph when this happens. It will not reset until I pull over, remove, and reassemble, the battery cables. This happens during, and following, every rainy day. It also happens for no specified reason. It happened 3 times in the last 24 hours--no rain at all.
