I purchased new and am the only owner of a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. This model is equipped with a takata airbag that the manufacturer (takata) has deemed unsafe, especially where I live, in hot and humid Louisiana. I have been to the local dealership multiple times to ask if a remedy is available and the dealership has said each time that a fix is not available. Why do some manufacturers recognize and fix the issue while others ignore the issue. If I am not mistaken, other manufacturers ask owners not to drive. I am concerned about safety. Any assistance is appreciated.

I believe my passenger side air bag may have done something because the dash next to the air bag area has been cracked. Dealer says there is no fix; but every other car company has found the fix; replace the inflator. This dash crack happened over night while parked in my garage.

Vehicle is apart of the takata recall. Local Chevy dealers do not have the part to fix it nor do they give a time when they will have the part. Say they will call, but haven't heard from them in over a year.

Nothing has happened, yet. My 2007 Chevrolet Suburban has the takata air bags in it. Chevrolet has asked for a ruling on inconsequentiality and the ruling was to be done by 2017. Nothing has been done, and Chevrolet has done nothing as a result. When will something be done and by who?
