Gm is not fixing the recalled takata airbags, and i am not able to sell or drive the vehicle.
Takata recall. dealer does not have a fix for my vehicle. nothing has happened to cause the bags to inflate yet, gratefully. just concerned that the vehicle is not fixed and from what i read, there is not a fix on the horizon. i find this unsettling. is there a time line for this fix? do i have cause for alarm after all this time? i have read that the propellant can degrade over time and hot weather. i live in a very hot climate.
I would like to know why every time i check my recalls on this truck i find it does have an airbag recall on it but when i check what is being done about it i get "incomplete remedy not available"? this has been going on since the recall first came out. i would like to know exactly what is going on before i, on someone else, gets injured or i pass away awaiting the repair. i understand general motors doesn't want to spend the money to correct this but what will it take for someone to force them to take the responsibility to save some lives or injuries? my vin for my gmc truck is: [xxx] and it was on the recall, it is model c10753 made in 10/10 engine = 5.3l 8cyl. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Takata recall: i received a notice from tk holdings in 2016 about this recall. i've checked the website several times since but the status is always "recall incomplete. remedy not yet available". i called gmc today and they submitted a report to the nhtsa that they claim shows that the truck is safe and the airbags/inflators do not need to be replaced. they would not tell me when they submitted the report, but the deadline from the nhtsa was 8/17. this looks like a delay tactic by gmc. in the meantime, i have a truck that the nhtsa has deemed unsafe enough to issue a recall. this impacts my peace of mind, as well as any resale value the truck may have. i understand that these things take time but this seems excessive. can you tell me when the nhtsa will issue a response to gmc regarding the report. bottom line, is the truck safe to drive or not?
On november 29, 2018 at around 12:00pm, i was driving down the road on route 460 west toward grundy, virginia, the roads was clear, and the weather was clear, at a speed about 35mph and the ceiling airbags deployed causing the seatbelts to lock up, and shut the truck down to a stop in the middle of the road. the air bags made a loud noise, that a neighboring business heard them deploy. i was not injured only scared and startled by what had just happened. i restarted my truck and pulled off to the side of the road, and could not understand what had happened, and proceded to drive to my mother in law's work place. i then called my mom which was the original owner and she advised me to call ramey chevrolet richlands va because the air bags should not have deployed. i had to reshedule an appointment because of bad weather and being able to get off work to take it to them for their schedule until january 18, 2019. my truck was owned by my mom and dad and has never been in a crash. we have currently around 58,000 miles on this truck and as you can tell very low milage. my wife mostly drives this truck. both me and my wife have always practice safe driving and obeyed speed limit. the truck is currently at ramey chevrolet richlands va and i talk to an inspector from chevrolet by the name of tony at 1-866-446-6963 ext. 59115544 and he told me they would not fix my truck because the shocks was damaged. now if the shocks are damaged then when the truck was shut down by the airbags may have damaged the shocks, but this truck was not in a crash, there was no reason for the airbags to deploy just driving at a speed of around 35mph. i am thankful i was not injured. i hope we can work to get this resloved.

Takata recall - nhtsa-2016-0124 when will i be able to have my air bag replaced. dealership stated nothing they can do *js
I have a recall for the airbags on my vehicle but every time i try to get the dealer to repair it i am told general motors is challenging to recall and they will not repair it at this time. i would like to know what i can do to get this recall done before some one gets hurt, and it will be too late. i find having a recall on a vehicle 8 years old and still not repair is unacceptable. can someone give me some help or answers.

2011 gmc sierra. consumer writes in regards to airbag safety recall. *ld *js
Takata recall. my gmc pickup received a recall on the takata airbag in 2016. as of today, gmc says they don't have a fix for it and don't know when they will. this is not a satisfactory answer. if problems arise from these airbags, i will be contacting a lawyer and gmc will have a lawsuit. i believe the airbags should be replaced. this is a big safety issue!
Gmc does not have a fix or a solution
Takata recall i called the dealer(autonation/corpus christi) after making 5 calls(on three different days) and leaving messages with no call back i finally spoke with jackie who informed me that gmc does not have a replacement part and could not provide me with any information as to when the part would become available.
Hit deer,cracked dash on both driver and passenger side,airbags did not deploy.
Takata recall i have called ron carter autoland/gmc requesting the airbag component for replacement, but was told that there are no replacement parts available and have been none. i then asked when replacements would be available and was told there was no time table for such. i mentioned that this recall has been going on for years with nothing being done at this time. she told me she knows and understands, but it is out of her hands.
Takata recall no action taken to replace the air bags and told when i called that it was low priority vehicle.
Takata recall- takata has failed to meet the august deadline for recalling my vehicle. in the mean time i am driving a vehicle that can cause myself, my wife, and my children to possible injury and/or death.
The service airbag light comes on and off and out side air temperature says 55 and its 92 outside when mpveing or still

The top section of the dashboard has multiple cracks including areas directly behind the instrument cluster and around the passenger side airbags. the airbag section is the most troubling, as it would appear the broken sections could become airborne at a high rate of velocity in the event of an airbag deployment.

'gm recall #: '2049151 'nhtsa # '16v381 'date issued: 'may 27, 2016 recall title: passenger airbag inflators recall description: takata corporation ('takata') has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2007-2011 cadillac escalade, escalade esv, escalade ext, chevrolet avalanche, silverado 1500, suburban, tahoe, gmc sierra 1500, yukon, yukon xl, and 2009-2011 chevrolet silverado 2500/3500 and gmc sierra 2500/3500 vehicles. this is based upon takata's decision that front passenger airbag inflators it supplied to gm are defective. accordingly, gm will conduct a recall of its airbag inflators covered by takata's defect information report, unless gm is able to prove to nhtsa's satisfaction that the inflators in its vehicles do not pose an unreasonable risk to safety. safety risk description: the propellant in some types of takata airbag inflators can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. if the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries. repair description: you will be notified when there are parts available to remedy your vehicle. you can also check the status of this recall at my.gm.com/recalls. gm considers your vehicle safe to drive. ________________________________________ recall status: incomplete. remedy not yet available

Received notification summer of 2016 of the issue and that i would be contacted when the parts were available. it has been almost three years since that letter and i have received no notification on this being corrected on my vehicle. i am estimating on the date the letter was sent. i have a copy but not at the time of me submitting this information.
I am afraid if the airbag in the passenger side dashboard were to ever deploy, flying plastic from the dashboard will cause a safety hazard. my dash has a crack in it already and i believe it to be a design flaw on gm's part.
