Takata recall. Notified Chevrolet of nb in regards to recall the parts have not been released to replace air bags. Called takata in regards of recall. They suggested I call GM in regards to loaner car until parts are available to replace air bags. They state car is perfectly safe to drive...not sure I understand this since it is a recall and several people have been killed and article reads that vehicles are unsafe to drive...

Takata recall ad more. 2007 Chevy Tahoe LT3. First denied claim on cracked dashboard as warranty was up. Then Chevy recalls chrome interior door handles, but my Tahoe is no in the recall. My kids have cut their hands on the peeling handles I took it to GM the said too bad your mileage is to great we wont honor recall furthermore your vehicles is not listed in recall. How is it not listed when all chrome interior handled vehicles where recalled? they told me to take a hike. Now I have had a air bag recall for over a year, and a very cracked dash which GM will not fix. If the "recalled" air bags did as they have done and the state of my dash there will be significant injury to occupants. GM does not care, they have addressed the situation numerous times and nothing they are doing is correcting the issue.
