TAKATA INFLATORS: MY 2007 CHEVROLET 2500 HD SILVERADO HAS HAD AN OPEN RECALL FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. THE LETTER SAID SHARDS OF METAL MAY FLY FROM THE AIR BAG IN THE CASE OF DEPLOYMENT CAUSING SERIOUS HARM OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS, HOWEVER GM STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL SAFE TO DRIVE?????? AFTER THIS AMOUNT OF TIME, THE FACT THAT MY HUSBAND, CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN ROUTINELY RIDE IN THIS TRUCK. I THINK IT IS TIME THAT THE RECALL BE COMPLETED. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO NEW INFORMATION. IF THEY CAN'T MAKE THE TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE, THEY SHOULD REPLACE IT WITH AN EQUAL TRUCK AT NO COST TO MY FAMILY.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY 2015 THAT A SAFETY RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN MY TRUCK. I HAVE TRIED (3) TIMES SINCE THEM TO HAVE MY CHEVROLET DEALER REPAIR THIS. BUT AS OF 02/18/2016, I AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT "THE TYPE OF REPAIR NEEDED FOR THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. WE WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN IT HAS". I FIND THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, AS I NEED MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, YET WE ARE AT CONSTANT RISK FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT COULD SEVERELY INJURE US OR CAUSE DEATH. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING TO EXPEDITE THIS REPAIR? THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECAL: I WAS NOTIFIED IN JUNE OF 2015 THAT THE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED. IT IS NOW 2016 AND A "FIX" HAS STILL NOT BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THIS FAR EXCEEDS THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IT SHOULD TAKE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO SOMETHING THAT CAN KILL YOU.

I DROVE MY TRUCK TO MY SONS HOUSE FOR HIM TO USE PARKED IT. WHEN MY SON GOT INTO IT TO DO A CHORE IT HAD NO BRAKES. THE FRONT BRAKE LINE THAT GOES OVER TO THE RIGHT WHEEL HAD BURST WITHOUT ANY WARRING. JUST LUCKY HE WAS STILL IN HIS DRIVEWAY.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT DUE TO A SAFETY CONCERN ABOUT MY PASSENGER AIRBAG ON MY CHEVY. THERE IS A CRACK ON MY DASH WHERE THE AIRBAG IS STORED CREATING A SAFETY CONCERN IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE PRESSURE FROM THE AIRBAG CAN MAKE MY DASH A PROJECTILE KILLING PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS THIS WITH GM/CHEVY BUT THEY DON'T WANT TO RECOGNIZE THEIR FAULTS. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY CHEVY/GM CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING. I HAVE PICTURES OF DASHES WITH THE CRACKS IN THE SAME PLACE EACH TIME. UNFORTUNATELY MANY OF THESE CUSTOMERS HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DISCUSS THIS CONCERN WITH GM ONLY TO BE TURNED AWAY.

TO REPORT THE INCIDENT, THEIR REPLY TO ME WAS "CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY" THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW ON 5/10/2007. REPEATED COMMUNICATIONS WITH GM, AND CHEVROLET DIVISION RESULTED IN ITS DENIAL OF RESPONSIBILITY, I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP. SUBSEQUENT INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED, THE FOLLOWING WINTER, WHERE THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER HAS GONE ON WITHOUT THE TRUCK RUNNING, AND THE KEYS REMOVED. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WERE MADE TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEIR FINDINGS WERE THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM.

ON DEC. 23, 2011, I TOOK MY SILVERADO INTO JOE FIRMENT FOR AN EXHAUST LEAK (WHICH IS AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM), SO I WANTED IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. THEY FOUND NOTHING. ON MAY 22, 2012 I TOOK MY SILVERADO BACK TO JOE FIRMENT FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THIS SAME ISSUE - EXHAUST LEAK. AT THAT TIME THEY HAD FOUND ONE BROKEN BOLT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD (ACTUALLY THERE WERE TWO BROKEN BOLTS THAT I FOUND PERSONALLY UPON FURTHER INSPECTION). MY WARRANTY COVERED THE MANIFOLD BUT HAD JUST EXPIRED ON MAY 7, 2012. I ASKED THAT THEY HONOR MY WARRANTY SINCE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 2011, BUT THEY FAILED TO DIAGNOSE IT. JOE FIRMENT REFUSED TO HONOR MY WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR GM PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION SUIT. HOW MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ARE ON RECORD? THIS BEING AN EMISSIONS ISSUE WILL CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO FAIL THE EMISSIONS TEST REQUIRED TO RENEW MY LICENSE PLATES. THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY ORIGINAL WARRANTY SINCE THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD HAVE DIAGNOSED IT ON THE FIRST APPOINTMENT FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR
