TAKATA INFLATOR I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE'S AIRBAGS LAST JULY. I HAD NOT HEARD A PEEP SO I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERS AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, THERE WAS NO FIX COMING YET. I CALLED GM AND THEIR PR PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TESTED 43000 AIRBAGS( NOT REAL ON THE ROAD) AND FOUND NO ISSUES SO THEY WERE GOING TO REQUEST THAT THE RECALL BE RECALLED! I CLEARLY STATED THAT I LIVE IN A HOT, HUMID AREA BY THE OCEAN AND WAS CONCERNED THAT THE PROPELLANT IN THOSE TAKATA AIR BAGS MAY BE CORRUPTED LIKE THOSE IN OTHER CARS LIKE MY WIFE'S HONDA WHICH WAS RECENTLY REPLACED. SHE SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTHING, TO WHICH I REPLIED THAT I WOULD NOT LIKE TO BE ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAD TO HAVE SHRAPNEL IN ME TO PROVIDE MORE EVIDENCE OF THE NEED FOR REPLACEMENTS. *JS

I AM WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AS THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IS NOW COMPROMISED EVEN MORE BY THE CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT IS SURROUNDING IT. I AM STILL WAITING FOR AIRBAG RECALL PARTS FOR AIRBAG. IT BEGAN IN LATE SUMMER AND HAS CONTINUED TO SPREAD OVER TIME AND NOW JUST CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG. I FEEL OUR SAFETY IS COMPROMISED WITH A CRACK AROUND AN UNSTABLE, RECALLED AIRBAG AND I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REFERENCE NUMBER 8-2670033882 TO REPORT THIS.
TAKATA RECALL: MANUFACTURER SAYS "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO UNTIL IT IS? SHOULD A LEXUS DEALER PROVIDE US WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE UNTIL THE AIR BAG(S) ARE REPLACED?

HOWEVER, MY GM DEALER SAYS THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN ALABAMA, A HOT-WEATHER STATE WITH VERY HIGH HUMIDITY AND NEED THE AIR BAGS IN MY VEHICLE REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAD TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD DUE TO CRACKING. THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND BROKEN AGAIN - ALL OVER. THE VENT HAS BROKEN AND FALLEN IN, THERE ARE CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THERE ARE COMPLETE HOLES WHERE PIECES HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN INTO THE DASH. I LOVE MY CAR AND THIS IS THE ONLY ISSUE I HAVE WITH IT. I JUST CALLED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD AND WAS QUOTED $1,300.00 WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE, CHEVROLET NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS ISSUE.
TAKATA RECALL THE AIRBAG SENSOR IS ON WHICH MEANS THEY COULD DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING CRACK IN DASHBOARD.
"TAKATA RECALL" - I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE AIR BAGS FOR MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE WERE UNDER RECALL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS HAS NOW BEEN PRIORITIZED BY VEHICLE AGE AND REGION. MY TAHOE HAS ALWAYS RESIDED IN HOT, HUMID SOUTH TEXAS. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN JUNE 2006 - SO IT HAS BEEN IN SERVICE OVER 10 YEARS. I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD QUALITY FOR PRIORITY SCHEDULING FOR THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME HELP IN GETTING MY AIRBAGS CHANGED OUT ASAP. PLEASE ADVISE.

ALSO I HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHERE SOME OF THE SPEAKERS WOULD WORK AND THEN HAVE A SHORT AND NOW THE VEHICLE OUTLETS IN THE FRONT HAS STOPPED WORKING. WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED THE SPEAKERS WOULD WORK AND THEN SHORT AND COME BACK ON . NOT ALL THE FRONT SPEAKERS ARE NOT PUTTING OUT ANY SOUND AND THE OUTLETS STOPPED WORKING. LASTLY THE DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING . THE CRACK STARTS FROM THE DRIVERSIDE AND ENDS IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT DASH. I HAPPEN TO GET IN THE CAR AND NOTICE A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT GRADUALLY STARTED TO GET BIGGER. *TR
TWO LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AND NOW A 1' BY 1.5" HOLE ADJACENT TO THE AIRBAG. THE DASH IS CRUMBLING. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF LOAD BEARING OR MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS BRITTLE PLASTIC.
MY TRUCK IS CONSUMING LOTS OF OIL AND GAS. TOOK IT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAY IT WAS NO OIL IN IT AFTER PUTTING IN TWO QUARTS IN TWO DAYS AGO. MY TRUCK WAS SAYING I HAD OIL BUT I DIDNT BY THE STICK. MY STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND IT IS RUNNING ROUGH. THE COMPUTER IS READING A MISFIRE IN CYLINDER ONE. GOT EVERYTHING CHECKED AND I WAS TOLD IT IS SOMETHING INSIDE THE ENGINE. I REAFMD ABOUT ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING THATS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. THEIR NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE ENGINES WITH THE AMOUNT OF OIL IT CONSUMES AND DAMAGJNG THE ENGINE...PLEASE TELL ME CAN YOU ALL HELP!!
TRUCK REQUIRES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1500 MILES. I KNEW IT WAS A GAS HOG BUT SURPRISED WHEN IT BURN AS MUCH OIL AS FUEL. PLEASE FIX THIS PROBLEM.

"TAKATA RECALL" TIRED OF WAITING ON GM TO HANDLE THIS RECALL. I GET THE IDEA GM IS NOT PLANNING ON ADDRESSING THIS RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO VOICE MY COMPLAINT.
I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM FOR NOT TAKING THE MEASURE TO FIX THE CRACKED DASHBOARD! NOT ONLY IS MY AIR BAG RECALLED AND SAYS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY MY DASH IS CRACKED AS WELL RIGHT NEXT TO A POTENTIAL DEADLY AIR BAG. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM IMMEDIATELY, I CAN GUARANTEE IF IT WERE THEIR FAMILY'S VEHICLE IT WOULD BE FIXED!

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED LETTER FROM GM IN JULY 2016 ON FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFECTIVE. AS OF TODAY(11-14-16) STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. CONTACTED GM DEALER IN ALBEMARLE, NC WITH NO ANSWERS. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM IN AUGUST 2016 DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. GM HAS NOT RESPONDED. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BECAUSE MY WIFE OR I COULD BE INJURED OR BECOME FATALITY. WE NEED THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY. THERE MUST BE REMEDY AND TAKATA AND GM ARE ACCOUNTABLE. I GUESS MORE PEOPLE MUST DIE ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE THINGS CHANGE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES - ABOVE LEFT SIDE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND TO LEFT OF STEERING WHEEL. I DO NO KNOW THE EXACT MOMENT THE CRACKS APPEARED. I KNOW THEY WERE NOT PRESENT TWO MONTHS AGO WHEN I LAST CLEANED THE INTERIOR OF MY CAR. THIS CAR IS KEPT IN A GARAGE OR PARKED IN THE SHADE WHENEVER IT ISN'T ON THE ROAD. I ALSO USE A SUN SCREEN WHEN PARKED IN OPEN PARKING LOTS FOR BRIEF PERIODS. THIS DID NOT OCCUR BECAUSE OF UV DEGRADATION. IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PLASTIC WILL SHATTER, BEING ONE MORE THING TO CAUSE INJURY. I HAVE ATTACHED A PICTURE OF THE CRACK ABOVE MY STEERING WHEEL. THE DASH IS ACTUALLY GRAY THOUGH IT APPEARS GREEN.
TAKATA RECALL-----I RECEIVED A LETTER ALMOST 3 MONTHS AGO THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY TAHOE. I TOOK THE TAHOE TO THE CHEVY DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO WAIT FOR A 2ND LETTER HAVING TO DO WITH THE PARTS COMING IN??? I HAVE NOT GOTTEN THAT 2ND LETTER? I HAVE BEEN BACK 2 TIMES SINCE AND GET THE SAME RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT.. I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE 2ND LETTER ABOUT THE PARTS BEING AVAILABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE. AM I GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING CATASTROPHIC HAPPENS?
I HAVE TWO CRACKS, ONE LOCATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD AND ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO PRODUCE SUCH PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY HEATER CORE INPUT VALVE. I HAVE READ THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE USES DEX-COOL. I AM UNSURE OF WHAT TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT DEX-COOL HAS BEEN FOUND TO EAT AWAY AT HOSES, O-RINGS, GASKETS, AND OTHER PARTS OF WHICH DEX-COOL COMES INTO CONTACT WITH. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO REPORT THAT MY OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, IT IS NO LONGER SENDING PRESSURE READINGS TO THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A VERY POPULAR PROBLEM WITH MANY CHEVROLET VEHICLE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS RANDOMLY AND SEVERELY CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THE MOST RECENT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.
IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DASH WAS CRACKED IN TWO SPOTS WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS LOCATED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHILE THE OTHER LARGER CRACK IS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CAUSE THE CRACK. MY WIFE AND I DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL ON THE DASH, WE HAVE NOT PLACED ANYTHING HEAVY ON THE DASH, WE DO NOT PLACE FEET ON THE DASH, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE DASH TO CRACK. OUR CONCERN IS PIECES OF THE DASH BREAKING OFF DURING A COLLISION CAUSING INJURY WITH AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ANOTHER CAUSE FOR CONCERN IS THE CRACKING GETTING WORSE CAUSING HOLES IN THE DASH, EXPOSING THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
