February of 2021 I was notified the driver side air bag in my truck I drive daily has an issue that if goes off can cause serious injury or death. that as 6 months ago and still no path forward to fix it, how safe it this for me to drive is death is an option" I feel this would be a concern for drivers and the companies doing more to prevent something if a part cannot be secured. Maybe start offering deals to accept the trade ins so your customer doesn't have to drive around an unsafe vehicle because of supply issues" This needs to be addressed so something silly can be avoided.
Was advised of the recall of my vehicle on Feb 26th 2021 and that the part to fix the problem was not available it is now six months later and have heard nothing and don, t know how log they expect people to wait with a faulty part to be repaired.
Dashboard has 5 large cracks 4 lateral an 1 vertical top front speaker has fallen off clips.vehicle dashboard started cracking while just sitting over time and while driving road vibration help cracking continue I'm afraid that with the cracking since it is in the passenger airbag area as well it could cause airbag to deploy causing more damage injuries to passenger or a wreck by suddenly going off and causing driver to swerve suddenly.
I have received several notices about having the air bags replaced but the local chev dealer tells me when they get the parts they will call me. When will the parts be ready?
Dashboard is cracked by passenger side airbag and over the instrument cluster. There have been thousands of complaints on 2007 to 2013 Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado's, and Avalanche's with this issue. Should the airbag deploy the cracking plastic could be a hazard.
I am the owner of a 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. I received the Chevrolet recall, I went to do the airbag repair and they inform me that the company that makes it has gone bankrupt and there is no repair. They also inform me that it is dangerous to use the vehicle since the airbag can cause damage. What I can do?

I recieved a recall notification July 2016 and have continued to followup for airbag replacement, to date I was informed by the dealer and company (General Motors) that action is still pending. Over 2 yrs., really? NHTSA campaign for this recall is 16V381. Your attention and resolution action is much appreciated.
Safety issue. Dash is cracking near airbag. This could possibly cause premature deployment of airbag or shrapnel from dash causing harm during deployment. Dash is also cracking over steering wheel area.
Tahata recall, I was told by the dealer that there is a pending recall from May 2016 but they don't have a fix yet. You would think that by now something should have been done. Am I risking the lives of myself and passengers?
