Wow. I am seeing all my same issues so thought I better enter my info as well. First the horn was all of a sudden blaring without anyone being in it in the middle of the night 2.5 years ago and now I do not have a horn, and none of the controls work on the steering wheel including the radio and cruise control (I question if the air bag is active on the driver side because of this). Then, the rear lift gate all of a sudden will not open (maybe last winter). 6 months ago, the indicators on the dash are out so I can't see my odometer or anything else you can access on the dash. Recently the passenger side window just randomly fell off the track. Recently, everything on the driver's side door does not work electrically: Power door lock, and power window. And I find that GM will not address at a minimum the electrical issues? not good.

My complaint is the the NHTSA is not doing enough to force a remidy on the my vehicle's takata airbag problem. Thru many years of investigation and litigation with GM, it now more than evident that GM knows their airbags will fail. It isn't about if but when and it is the responsibility of the the NHTSA to protect the public and consumer. If you want the public to think you are serving in their best interest, than resolve this whole takata airbag problem.

I am filing a complaint in regards to the Chevy Tahoe 2007 ltz model I own. The vehicle has been claimed by thousands of owners to have a factory bad dashboard. The dashboard is made with a very cheap and unsafe plastic. This plastic cracks due to natural causes from heat and cold. The plastic also after some time will crack and deteriorate again due to unsafe and poor plastic material. The remedy is to purchase a new dashboard panel and pay for the professional labor to install. This product cost should be shard at a bare minimum by GM due to good faith practices. I would like to have my claim reviewed and passed on to GM for the purpose of correcting this unsafe factory plastic dashboard. The airbags can create and cause a highly unsafe deployment by exploding cheap and sharp shard of plastic into the eyes and face of the passenger/driver. GM is claiming to not have the legal requirement to repair or pay for this unsafe dashboard that should of been a recall.

I'm very concerned because I had my passenger airbag inspected because the light is on. I was told that the airbag needed to be repaired and that there is a very high chance that it would not function properly upon impact. I have to pay out my pocket or ride around with a non operational airbag because it's taking years for a resolution to be found.

Emissions recall the propellant in some types of takata airbag inflators can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. If the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries.

I have checked websites for recall notification updates and no information on my vehicle. This has been almost 3 years since the court case decision. If I wanted to sell my vehicle, I can't because of the recall not being resolved!!
