Takata recall I recieved a recall notice dated July 2016 about this recall. I am told there is no resolution as of yet. Why"?" how long will all parties involved with issue be allowed to stall and forgo the right course of action that is to repair the vehicles affected. Many innocent people are being put at risk needlessly by this course of inaction !! I respectfully log this complaint on November 23 2017.

I already have a potential air bag recall #49152 that has not been resolved. Additionally, I have had a cracked dashboard that cost $1,500 to repair, which I can't afford. My power folding mirrors have stopped working numerous times and now can not be fixed under warranty anymore. My radio had to be completely replaced. My vehicle has 29,550, and is a piece of junk. The roof is rusting out. G.M. went bankrupt in 2008, which stopped the lease process. I got stuck with this vehicle and have been fearful of driving it. The low mileage reflects it. When will you as a government Agency intercede and tell GM to make good on there defective products. No one cares, except the people that get rich selling these garbage vehicles!!! what are you waiting for someone to get a piece of cracked dashboard in there eye or worse, die in an accident caused by plastic flying into the drivers face. There are tons of complaints!!! just google it and watch the different news channels coverage of this massive defect. Total disrespect of the customers/owners on from General Motors. Maybe next time they shouldn't get a government bailout, from MY6 hard earned tax dollars!!!!

This is very concerning when I have a passenger in my car %90 of the time. I also have an air bag notification on my vehicle notification center.

Takata recall: On 11/14/2017 I learned that I can not sell or trade my 2098 Chevy Tahoe due to this recall. Furthermore GM district manager told me there is no fix and I will be stuck with my vehicle until a solution is found. Therefor I will loose money on the value of my vehicle. I would also like to bring to your attention that GM has faulty dashboards that crack, especially in 2008 Chevy Tahoe. GM has acknowledged this flaw but it's not a recall because no one has been injured or killed yet due to the defective dashboards. I found online a news reporter named andy wise who invested this case and has all proofs as he can not report a news investigation without attorney review. He was able to get his client a free dashboard replaced. I went to my local dealership and played the video for the a service manager and he contacted the district manager. GM alreadyvhas an open car claim for my vehicle. I received a phone call from the district service manager tonight who claims he is giving me a gift by paying for 50% of the repair cost. I shouldn't have to pay a dime. You should have many reports on file about crack GM or Chevy dashboards. It was tonight I learned I can't even do a thing U til mybairbag recall is resolved and until that time I am stuck with a vehicle losing depreciation value every day. Please investigate and help us all out.

The dashboard on my 2008 Tahoe is cracked and has become an issue because the cracks have made it to my passenger airbag and I am worried about my safety in case of an accident. I wouldn't want plastic flying everywhere and potentially kill someone.

Received recall notice in July of 2016 and called dealer and they stated that they did not have the parts to fix the problem. Called again in June 2017 and dealer stated same no replacement at this time. Received a notice 11/9/17 and stating that the recall is still active and need to register with tk restructuring so I can file a claim if something were to happen in the future if my airbags fail. I want my vehicle fixed now! I should not worry while driving if they will deploy and kill me or a family member. The manufacturer of the airbags and GM should be held liable and remedy this situation yesterday!!!!! NHTSA recall # is 16V383, GM recall #49152
