Takata recall. Received a letter about the airback recall. When I contact my dealership I am told I must wait for a second recall letter due to them not having the replacement parts. My concern is this is my family vehicle and it's been 2 yrs since I received the 1st letter and nothing has been done.

Takata recall recall issued officially over 2 years, unofficially much longer. Request status and completion date. Contact / telephone calls to the manufacture for status and completion date has only resulted in being referred to the NHTSA. Same with NHTSA, manufacturer and dealers have said "no danger/risks". then why a safety recall?? two+ years, no solution!! my family's safety is the issue. Because of the danger, and to prevent their injury, airbags have been disabled resulting to exposure to additional risks.

The dash has severely cracked in numerous places including near the passenger air bag which I fear could create shrapnel if involved in a collision and the airbag inflates. This has gradually worsened over time.

Takata recall - we rec'd a recall notice back on July 2016 but the dealer has not rec'd the replacement parts. I contacted GM Chevrolet and I understand GM is saying we are not at risk with the airbags based on their findings" why the recall? waiting on nhsta to change their decision on the recall? I'm confused...is there a recall or not? 2 years and still no resolution? what would make the Chevrolet Tahoe takata air bags safe but the Honda's we own, not safe and were replaced quickly by the dealer? my understanding is the chemical in the air bags breaks down...is there something special with the 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe where this does not occur" we live in Georgia - high humidity! it should not take 2+ years to determine if the air bags should be replaced after a safety recall is issued...I hope they are safe...I am not sure who to believe.
