Dealer stated GM was not replacing air bags

- Gatesville, TX, USA

My husband was stopped at a light when the side airbags deployed. We contacted GMC they sent someone to investigate. That person said due to some water leaking in on them is what caused it. Nothing was wet though. Now they cannot do anything to help. Seems like if they know they have a defect in the front airbags it is a chance the side ones are also bad. They hang like curtains. Have not been able to drive it since the seatbelts locked also. The cost to repair would be $6000. This is something that was no fault of ours. There has been so much time put into trying to get this resolved. We cant E the only ones this happened to. Suggestion?

Takata recall airbag has not been replace

- Little Rock, AR, USA

Takata air bags. I have been to the GMC dealership service department several times over the last 2-3 years since the recall was placed on my pickup for the takata air bags trying to get the air bags replaced or fixed. I have been told that GM has not come up with a solution or resolution for my vehicle to replace or repair the recalled takata air bags. This absurd that the recall has gone on this long and GM does not have a plan or a way to repair or replace the takata air bags in my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup truck. Please look into this and force them to fix these air bags before more people are killed or severely injured.

Takata recall - received NHTSA recall #2049151 GM # 16V381, in 2016. I've called mckinney tx GMC Buick numerous times over the past 2 years & have been told repeatedly that parts are not available. Today I called & spoke with a GM rep (ph# 866-996-9463). I was told that my particular VIN is not included in the recall & is safe to drive (he read me a long statement that I'm sure GM tells them to read). When I asked him why, when I enter my VIN in their website search, it says my vehicle is at risk, he couldn't answer. Since receiving the original notice over 2 years ago, I've purposely limited the miles driven on my 10-yr-old truck, because of their recall letter. Now, they're saying the letter was wrong, but they're not willing to send me something stating that. I have zero faith in what that GM rep told me, & I'm really hesitant to drive my vehicle on the highway. Please advise if my vehicle is, indeed safe to drive, ow whether I need to continue pursuing GM for repairs. If they can put safe airbags in a new truck, why can't they put one in mine?
