"TAKATA RECALL" MY 08 TAHOE'S INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES ARE FAILING TO WORK AT TIMES. MY SPEED GAUGE, GAS AND RPM GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. THEY STARTED BACK, BUT I THINK IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT I WAS DRIVING IT WHEN IT HAPPENED. I AM JUST TRYING TO FIND OUT AND REPORT THE PROBLEM. THE OIL GAUGE NEVER CAME BACK ON, IS THERE ANYWAY YOU SHED SOME LIGHT ON THIS ISSUE? I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN EVERYTHING STARTED.
TAKATA RECALL - NOTHING HAS HAPPENED BUT NOTICE IN MAY 2016. DEALER SAYS THEY CAN'T GET PARTS FROM GM.
TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL IS TAKING TOO LONG AND GM NEEDS TO FIND A REMEDY ASAP. I THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING MY TAHOE AND I AM WORRIED THAT IT MAY BE FAULTY AND IF I WERE TO BE INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT IT WILL NOT WORK OR WORSE CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, THE DRIVER, AS THE LAWSUIT STATES THAT IT MAY.
CONTACTED DEALER FOR FIX THE MANUFACTURE DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. HENDRICKS CHEVEROLET.
TAKAYUKI RECALL. OUR VEHICLE HAS HAD A AIRBAG RECALL SINCE MAY 2016. CHEVY HAS NOT REPAIRED OUR VEHICLE AND WE ARE AT RISK BECAUSE THE CHEVY RECALL STATED MAY CAUSE DEATH OR GREAT BODILY HARM IF AIR BAGS DEPLOY.
TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THE RECALL FIXED AS WE ARE TOLD THE AIRBAGS OR THE NECESSARY PARTS TO FIX THE RECALL ARE ON BACK UP OR NOT AVAILABLE.
TAKATA RECALL. MY DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG HAS A RECALL AND THE DEALER TELLS ME THERE IS AN INCOMPLETE REMEDY AND SO THEY CANNOT REPLACE MY AIR BAG. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE YET.

NOW I HAVE RECEIVED A NOTICE OF A LAWSUIT INVOLVING TAKATA. THEY STILL HAVE NOT REPLACED THE AIRBAGS AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY COMMUNICATION FROM GM. ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAGS.
TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN CHECKING ON THIS FOR A YEAR AND A REMEDY IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT APRIL 10 2017 AND THE TAHOE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT FRONT AND REAR DAMAGE WHILE STATIONARY. I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A LARGE TRUCK AND WAS THEN PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED.
( TAKATA RECALL)MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND I HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL I WANT IT REPLACED BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT
"TAKATA RECALL" SINCE 2016 RECALL REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE NO PARTS. AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID WEATHER, THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL AND THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. FOR ME, THIS IS A BATTLE FOR MY LIFE AND IT WOULD PUT MY FAMILY IN JEOPARDY OF THEIRS.
TAKATA RECALL - THE DEALERSHIPS I CALLED HAVE "NO REMEDY" AT THIS TIME, AND ARE UNABLE TO FIX OR REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. I HAVE RECEIVED TWO NOTICES VIA USPS, BUT CAN GET NO ACTION. DO I OR MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY HAVE TO SUSTAIN AN INJURY BEFORE ANYTHING HAPPENS?

WO I'M WONDERING IS ANYONE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS REPAIR? SO AT THE MOMENT I'M DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE! AND NOBODY IS TAKING ACTION ON THIS MATTER.
THE DASH BOARD O THE VEHICLE IS CRACKING ALL AROUND THE TAKATA RECALL AIRBAGS. THE CRACKS ARE SPIDERING ACROSS THE DASH, THERE ARE SO MAY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS DASH BOARD CRACKING AND IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAGS GO OFF THE DASH BOARD IS LIKELY TO SHATTER AND POTENTIALLY BE A PROJECTILE CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH. THIS SHOULD BE INVESITIGATED AND BE A RECALL. YOU WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF VEHICLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM, GM IS AWARE AND ITS ALL OVER FACEBOOK AND ONLINE. JUST GOOGLE TAHOE CRACKED DASHBOARD AND LOOK FOR YOURSELF. THANK YOU FOR INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER
TAKATA RECALL NO DEALERSHIPS ARE MAKING NEEDED REPAIRS TO MY DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG IN MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS DEALERSHIPS THEY CLAIM INCOMPLETE REMEDY I LIVE IN HUMID HOT SOUTH FLORIDA, EXACTLY WHAT I UNDERSTAND TO BE THE MAIN UNDERLYING PROBLEM WE ARE DEALING WITH IN THIS TAKATA AIRBAG IF THEY CANT FIX IT WHY CANT THEY AT LEAST REMOVE IT BEFORE IT CAUSES US GREAT HARM

TAKATA INFLATORS THERE IS A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS IN MY CAR BUT CHEVY HAS NOT MADE AVAILABLE A SUBSITUTE FOR MY TYPE OF VEHICLE AIRBAG YET? NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE YET, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE REPLACING THE AIRBAG IN MY TAHOE TO MAKE IT SAFE.
TAKATA RECALL NO ONE CAN ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. CASE REFERENCE: NHTSA 1153284 1. GM HAD 2+ YEARS TO INVESTIGATE THE AIRBAG THEY PUT IN MY VEHICLE. MY QUESTION IS: WHY NHTSA WOULD ALLOW THEM A TIME EXTENSION UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR 2017. THEIR TIME TO INVESTIGATE WAS GRANTED AN EXTENSION BY NHTSA AS PER MY CALL TO NHTSA 2. AS THE AIR BAG ON MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED IN THE 10 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP (CONTAINS ORIGINAL AIRBAGS INSTALLED IN THE GM JANESVILLE WI PLANT, NEVER TOUCHED INTERNALLY AS THE STEERING WHEEL HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED OR THE DASHBOARD TAKEN APART ). MY QUESTION IS: THE TK HOLDINGS CARD STATES: "IF YOUR VEHICLE CONTAINS A DEFECTIVE OR POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR AND IS UNDER RECALL, CONTACT YOUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR." WHEN DEALER WAS CONTACTED, HE IS STILL WAITING FOR GM TO FINISH THE INVESTIGATION AND CAN NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG UNDER THE RECALL. WHICH IS TRUE? WILL RESULTS HAPPEN BEFORE THE DECEMBER 27, 2017 DATE WHERE I MAY BE ABLE TO INCLUDE MYSELF AS A "WILL SUFFER" (AS I DO NOT KNOW THE OUTCOME OF A ACCIDENTAL INCIDENT IN ADVANCE OF YOUR 12/27/17 DATE TO FILE A CLAIM). OBSERVATION: THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE CLASSIC CASE OF THE GOVERNMENTAL LEFT HAND NOT KNOWING WHAT THE GOVERNMENTAL RIGHT HAND IS DOING! ATTENTION NHTSA: I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD CALL ME AS TO COMPLETION OF THE RECALL THAT GM IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET OVER. 724-654-0270 NO RESPONSE TO MY INQUIRY CONFIRMS TO ME THAT YOU ARE JUST AS MUCH AT FAULT AS GM OR TAKA
TAKATA RECALL GM WAS GRANTED A PETITION FOR DEFERRAL TO INVESTIGATE AIRBAGS ON MY 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. PER GM'S OWN WEBSITE HIS PETITION EXPIRED IN SEPTEMBER 2017. AS OF TODAY 26 OCTOBER 2017, GM HAS APPARENTLY NOT TAKEN ACTION ON THIS ISSUE.
CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT AFFECTS AIRBAGS AND ELECTRIC WIRING ASSOCIATED TO DASH AND DASHBOARD COMPONENTS. CAUSES VISUAL IMAGES ON WINDSHIELD WHEN DRIVING MAKING IT A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. THERE IS TWO CRACKS ON THIS DASH WHICH OVER TIME WILL CAUSE TREMENDOUS ISSUES WITH SAFETY ISSUES ASSOCIATED TO THE WIRING AND SAFETY AIRBAGS.
TAKATA RECALL: GM ANNOUNCED THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ON OUR 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE ON MAY 27, 2016. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER THREE TIMES SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO GUIDANCE OR PARTS FROM GM YET.ONE AND A HALF YEARS LATER AND THEY STILL HAVE NO REMEDY? HONDA ALREADY HAS PARTS FOR THEIR TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL AVAILABLE AT THE DEALER. GM SHOULD BE TAKEN TO TASK FOR HAVING NO REMEDY AFTER THIS LENGTH OF TIME. THEY SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST REMOVE THESE DANGEROUS AIR BAGS FROM OUR CARS IMMEDIATELY.
TAKATA RECALL GM DELAYING IN TAKING ACTION TO FIX ISSUE
TAKATA RECALL - STILL NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE! JUST CHECKED WITH DEALER TODAY 10/24/17. AIRBAGS COULD DEPLOY AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANY MEMBER OF OUR FAMILY AT ANY GIVEN TIME, ITS VERY CONCERNING!
TAKATA RECALL
TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CONTACT THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. AT THIS TIME NO REMEDY TO THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SENT DOWN TO THE DEALERSHIPS.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ADJACENT TO CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PANEL AND ALONG TOP OF DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. CRACKED DASH CONTINUES TO EXPAND. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT SHARDS OF THE PLASTIC MAY BREAK OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT AND/OR DURING DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS, IMPALING THE PASSENGERS. THE SAD PART OF THIS IS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ALSO BECAUSE THEY ALL BROKE OFF FROM THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS THE HANDLE IN PLACE - NO RECALL ON THAT EITHER. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COST OF THE LTZ VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE DEFECTS ARE SAFETY ISSUES - MISHANDLING OF AIBAGS WHEN DEPLOYED AND SOMEONE ABLE TO ENTER YOUR VEHICLE THROUGH A BROKEN HANDLE!!!!!!!

DASH BOARD OF CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKING IN ALL PLACES AND EXPOSING VEHICLE COMPONENTS
SHORTLY AFTER MY 2008 WARRANTY EXPIRED I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING IN VARIOUS PLACES AND I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY OF THE PARTS IN THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP PARTS. AFTER MY LAST PART EPISODE, I DECIDED TO LOOK UP A COMMON THEME ONLINE; ONLY TO DISCOVER THERE ARE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING. HOWEVER, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IS MORE SERIOUS BECAUSE IT HOUSES THE DEFECTED TAKATA AIRBAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ON REPLACING THAT ISSUE EITHER. THE DASH BOARD FIRST CRACKED IN JULY 2011 AND ANOTHER CRACKED OCCURRED IN JULY 2017. I USE A DASH COVER TO PROTECT MY VEHICLE FROM HEAT; HOWEVER, NOTHING SEEM TO STOP THE DASH FROM CRACKING AND THE INTERIOR PARTS FROM FALLING A PART.
TWO DASHBOARD CRACKS ON 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE, 1 OF WHICH IS DIRECTLY GOING TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. IF THIS AIRBAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED, IT WILL SEND THE PIECES OF THIS DASH FLYING THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE IDENTICAL CRACKS ON THESE GENERATION VEHICLES WITH NO SUPPORT FROM GM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.
REDUCED POWER TO ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALL OVER, AND THERE IS EVEN A HOLE WHERE IT CRACKED SO BAD THAT A PIECE FELL OFF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

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.
