Takata recall - our vehicle had a recall on 07/06/2016, we went to renew registration at dmv and they would not give of tags to place on plate due to airbag recall. I had to get a temporary red card for vehicle which eventually would expire. Since August 2016 every other month I called puente hills dealer and Chevrolet customer assistance center to get vehicle serviced. Either one had information as when the parts would be available for repairs. It is now 04/04/2017 and still no parts and no tags for my vehicle. Last night I got pulled over for no tags. I provided receipt of payment for registration and all documents on recall and temporary registration, the officer was nice enough to let me go. He did mention vehicle can be towed away. I called puente hills Chevrolet dealership this morning to schedule service for recall and rene rodriguez told me parts are not available and that they have not been able to fix any vehicles on this recall due to no parts since the recall notice 07/2016. I also spoke to customer service and they were not able to help me. They would like me to get in writing from dmv why I can not get my tags.

Takata recall. Between 2010/2011 side curtain airbags (front and back), deployed while operating vehicle in optimum driving conditions, after a passing over a pothole in the roadway. I was traveloing with my then [xxx] son and daughter. Imeediately took the vehicle into the dealership only to wait over a month, without a vehicle, and never given the option of a rental or loaner vehicle. As "Chevrolet" investigated the on-board computer data, it falsely read that airbags deployed due to "rollover event" data was sent to the vehicles SRS system. Chevrolet then deemed that I was driving over 95 mph (which is impossible due to the rev limiter), and I had oversized wheels on my vehicle. Wheel diameter and size were not the factor, as they were within 5/32" of oem stock dimensions. I was charged for "troubleshooting", as wewll as labor for the removal of the side airbags, and they declined the claim. Additionally, I have had to reyturn to the dealership to again "warranty" the ECM, BCM, window regulator (twice), as well as charging system faults. My extended warranty was again denied saying it was not within the parameters of the coverage. Full extended warranty, bumper to bumper and this was not covered? also, the dashboard front cowl is cracked (known defect, no recall), chrome peeling off interior door handle, as well as stabilitrak" computer errors and issues (known issue, no recall) parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Back in July 2016 I received a letter from GM stating that my Tahoe VIN is on the recall list for airbag inflators, ( GM recall 49151) until this date February 27 2017 they have not resolve the issue yet. My wife and my kids are in this vehicle almost everyday, I am afraid that something bad will happen to them regarding this unsolved recall.

Takata recall on my vehicle - why is taking so long to remedy this recall? I also have a few other issues I want to mention. I bought my Tahoe in July 2016, my dash is cracking on the driver's side and from what I've read, this is very common and GM is ignoring the issue. My vehicle also started taking off on its own, took extra pressure to stop & RPM would fluctuate sporadically. After contacting a dealer, I was told there was campaign to replace the throttle body sensor but it had expired while the previous owner had possession and was told I'd have to pay for the repair and would possibly have to replace the throttle body. After replacing the sensor, my vehicle's RPM still fluctuates upon stopping and idle is rough. Very upset Chevrolet customer now.

Driver side dashboard cracked above steering column by front windshield. Vehicle was stationary overnight. Came out in morning to find huge crack in dash.

Cracking dashboard. This has happened over time and cannot be attributed to the speed, direction, or orientation of the vehicle. I feel this can be a safety issue inhibiting the safe deployment of the airbags.

Multiple dash cracks around steering column and more concernedly around passenger air bag. This is separate from the airbag recall that currently exists. The dash being cracked around this particular point would cause vinyl shrapnel to be sent throughout the cabin of the vehicle presenting a serious safety hazard. This is the only place on the vehicle these cracks are happening even though much of the interior is finished with this same type of vinyl.
