Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 AIR BAGS

Takata airbag. got recall letter for airbag recall and called gm. gm informed me that they do not consider this airbag a problem and at this time they have no plans to fix the issue! i wasn't happy with their answer so i called nhtsa for their opinion. i gave the person at nhtsa the recall number and vin number and i was informed that i should not drive the vehicle with a front seat passenger until the vehicle is fixed.. who is correct in this issue? is gm waiting until until the body count is so high they can't ignore the issue?

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the contact called a local dealer (carl cannon chevrolet buick gmc, 299 carl cannon blvd, jasper, al) and was informed that the part to do the repair was unavailable and she would receive notification when it arrived. the manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. the vin was unknown. the contact had not experienced a failure.

Takata recall- recall issued over a year ago, i have received no contact regarding a remedy. air bag warning indicator is constantly on. i feel the car is unsafe to drive and i cannot sell it as is without a substantial loss.

My service airbag warning is on. the airbag indicator light for the passenger side never indicates on,

Takata recall they say this recall hurts nobody and that the truck is still driveable in all cases. it's untrue. in fact i've been unable to drive my car for over 2.5 years. impossible you say? well, since the tag expired in august 2016 it has been blacklisted by the canadian government as a hazard due to the safety recall. because i was importing my car into canada during the start of this fiasco. it is not eligible to be tagged and is now not legal to be used. i'm an american citizen who is married and lives and works in canada, with a child. it's really hurt me, financially - i've had to buy bus passes, and pay for parking and insurance for a car that cannot be used. my tires are dry rotting off and new ones will have to be purchased without being able to use the viable tread i had left. physically and enotionally - due to canadian winters and having a daughter - i've been virtually homebound every weekday as it is wet difficult to walk about and bus with a baby especially with ice and snow. maybe it's not hurting anyone else but it's hurting me. nobody can give us back the time we lost, the depreciation of my truck without any benefit gleaned. all the missed family moment with my husband riding bike trails, which we can no longer drive to as we don't have transportation for our bikes. i hope they do a netflix documentary on this.

Takata recall. i was originally informed in july 2016 that my truck was on the recall list for takata airbag recall. i was then sent another letter in october 2017. as of today, i have called all phone numbers provided on letters received and have called a local gm dealership (more than once) and keep getting told that my part is not available yet. how am i to get my truck fixed when i am constantly told that the part is not in yet, but 3 members of my family have had their airbags replaced.

Takata recall, received recall notice over a year ago and still not repaired.

Takata recall i have received a letter back in july 2016 about a safety recall. a letter would be sent out when part is available. here it is in august 2017 and no letter and part is not available. am concerned about the airbag safety issue.

I entered my truck and found a crack in my dash running from the vents all the way over my instrument panel. the next day, my airbag light went on telling me they needed servicing. yesterday i was driving over some pot holes in a road and a big chunk of my dash cracked and jumped out onto my dash. after getting home, i see there is another crack on my dash. before calling a dealer, searched to find out what was going on. i found the crack and the sensor were related and other have been having the same problem and no recall yet. what?? that chunk that flew out is as sharp as a razor. it could have cut me or landed in my eye causing injury. how can i drive the car knowing the whole dash could shatter at any time? i don't have the money to fix this issue. it should be recalled and fixed by gm!!
