Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V381000 (air bags); however, the part needed for the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact contacted (terry cullen southlake Chevrolet dealership ((770) 968-4444 located at 1250 battle creek rd, jonesboro, ga 30236) where it was confirmed that the remedy part was not available. The manufacturer was not contacted and made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Cracked upper end of dash board. Three separate cracks appeared on the upper part of the dash, one is going right across where the passenger air bag is located. This happened for no apparent reason. The vehicle had about 89000 miles on it when I first observed the issue. It rattles like crazy while driving on city roads and it is probably a mojor safety issue in the event of a air bag deployment.
Thus far, nothing has "happened" with my vehicle, but there has been a recall in effect for the airbags in my vehicle for well over a year and nothing has been done to replace the airbags. I am also having some electrical problems with my truck not shutting off when I remove the key, and the interior dome lights will not turn on when the button is pressed (this has all began since the recall was initiated but not taken care of). I just want my airbags replaced, as they are supposed to be, given the recall, and if the recalled parts are responsible for the additional problems I am now having with my truck, I want those addressed and repaired as well. The length of time this has taken to address is beyond unreasonable and I have been as patient as I can be waiting for this recalled part to be replaced.
I have just received a card in the mail about the takata airbag recall. I have had the vehicle in the shop for oil changes at reliable chevolet and have been told that there is a recall notice for this vehicle but there is no part to replace. I have looked up my VIN number in a web site named www.airbagrecall.com to determine if my vehicle is on the list. My 2010 chevolet avalance is on the list. I am not sure how to proceed since the dealer tells me that there is no replacement part available. I also have a tire symbol appear on my driver's screen. I have spoken to the dealer who indicated that nothing can been diagnosed until the symbol remains permanent.
Takata recall of May 27, 2016. Dealership was contacted today and two previous times since I received the recall letter and has advised me that no solution or parts to repair my recalled vehicle are available.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V381000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer (pete moore Chevrolet, 103 N new warrington rd, pensacola, fl 32506, (850) 456-7000) did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer was contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. The necessity of a remedy was dependent upon NHTSA's decision regarding GM's petition. Information on the final decision was not yet available until it was determined by NHTSA pertaining to the contact waiting to receive the remedy and parts for the manufacturer recall. The contact was not experiencing a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.
Dash cracked in multiple locations, one over the instrument panel, second one upper left of passenger airbag, third one upper right of same airbag. Center clip on main part of dash behind speaker broke off due to poor design/cheap material. First noticed dash vibrating when vehicle in motion on highway, downhill from there. Took to dealer and GM, unwilling to repair/replace without $. quick search shows it to be a major issue in 2007+ Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe, escalades, Sierra, Silverado. Not sure what impact these cracks will have on airbag deployment/passenger safety.
I am concerned that there are no replacements for the faulty takata airbags. I called the dealership, and they told me there was nothing they could do. They would not even have an airbag replacement at my own expense to replace the faulty takata airbags. Do I have to be killed or someone else in my truck killed before something is done?

Another faulty GM dashboard. Flaps around while driving - center clip blown out with no structural support to hold two pieces together. Leading cause of dashboard cracking in similar GM vehicles. Concern over air bag effectiveness on account of this issue.
