Takata inflators. I was contacted several times over the past 2 years that my vehicle was part of the recall. Everytime I have contacted the dealer I was told there was be remedy it this time. It seems that GM is holding out in performing the recall on a large amount of their consumers. This hasent been fixed in a timely manner. They have had plenty of time to prepare and complete the recall they are just dragging it out. My wife and I are now stuck with a vehicle that could possibly cause bodily harm or death. We can't even sell the vehicle because of the open recall and without GM fixing the recall people don't want to purchase a vehicle that could possibly kill them. I would like to see that GM is held accountable and perform the recall as soon 🔜 as possible. And if for some reason they can't perform the recall as soon as possible they should have to pay retribution to those that are affected by this recall. Vehicles are very expensive and consumers work really hard to be able to purchase these vehicles. It is time to give the consumers that are affected by this recall something for their money.

Takata recall I am the original owner of a 2008 Tahoe lt 4WD and have contacted asheville Chevrolet in asheville, nc on a couple of occassions regarding this airbag recall, most recently about 1 year ago when I noticed that the dash was starting to crack particuliarly two cracks near the passenger side airbag. The service manager came out and looked at the dash and advised me that this is a common problem with dash cracking in Tahoe models and was not related to the takata recall but that there was also not a recall on the dash cracking around the airbag. I am a retired law enforcement officer that used to supervise a traffic safety unit and am a certified traffic crash reconstructionist, this problem with the dashboards cracking needs to be further investigated by NHTSA to determine if it is in fact related to the takata recall and escalate GM to replace the dashes and /or takata airbags if it is.
