The digital information center (dic) located in the instrument panel cluster (ipc) has stopped working. However, all of the non-digital gauges such as speedometer, fuel, etc still work properly. All of the digital displayed info such as odometer, gear select, mpg, tire psi, etc, is no longer visisble. This defect/malfunction occurred unexpectedly about 4 months ago. The defect/malfunction occured while the vehicle was parked (not moving) in my driveway. I simply got in and turned the key on to start the engine, and the dic was noticeably blank. I looked on-line and called several dealerships for info regarding repairs, , and I quickly learned that this exact defect/malfunction is extremely common among 2007-2016 Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. GM should be held responsible by issuing a recall. Also, for no reason and without any cause, my dashboard cracked above the passenger side airbag. This is also a very common defect with my specific vehicle make/model. If the airbags were to deploy, would they deploy properly? and even if the airbags deploy properly, im afraid shards of the plastic from dashboard will shoot all over the car resulting in injury.

It's actually the very common dashboard cracks, which inevitably will effect my airbag in the event on an accident. After an accident happens, it'll be too late. I purchased a used 2007 Tahoe with an extended warranty in 2010. I've had the very cracked dash replaced 4 times by Chevy while under warranty - with them fighting it. If possible, I think the very quality of the plastic decreased since problems arose originally. My dash is now cracked worse than all others previously installed by Chevy, allowing me to see the thickness quite clearly, and it appears much much much thinner than the original dash. No matter what, this is wrong and extremely dangerous. Not only can this effect my airbags, but the sharp edges and nature of the plastic allows for it to become deadly projectiles. A $40,000+ vehicle should not have these issue. Nor should a $5 vehicle for that matter. Chevy is jeopardizing the lives of numerous customers all in the hopes of saving money - not lives!! please send Chevy an unmissable message and force a recall. This will only worsen and increase with time. Due to the extremely popular problem, there is no way Chevy will be able to deny knowledge after someone is killed. A life will be lost due to this. It's just a matter of when and how many. It's impossible for me to give exact dates as to when each dash was replaced over the last 6 years, but I'm on my 5th dash and I'm not the original owner. My current and 5th dash has 3 cracks that get caught in the wind and lift when the windows or sunroof are open. Pretty crazy. Pretty dangerous. And Chevy has known all these years!! shameful. And you allow it.
Dashboard cracks around passenger airbags and another larger crack behind the steering wheel. Plastic shards will fly through the air if in a crash or if airbag is deployed.

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.
Takata recall - desde el 7 de julio del 2016 he estado tratando de solucionar el problema, para la bolsa de aire de pasajero. Cada vez que voy al dealer de miami lakes, ubicado en el palmetto Y la 57 avenida, me dicen que tengo que volver porque la parte no est disponible. He estado en varias ocasiones Y estoy preocupado porque yo monto nios en el auto. Y necesito saber cuando me pueden resolver el recall.
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?
"takata recall" I was notified in July 2016 by GM that my vehicle is on a recall list for defective takata air bags. GM has had sufficient time to provide available parts to remedy my vehicle. 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.
"takata recall" GM recall 49152 notice was rec'd in July 2016 and nothing has happened. I haven't been contacted by the manufacturer of the vehicle or the defective product. This is ridiculous. The NHTSA campaign id number for this recall is 16V383
