Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe AIR BAGS

I got a notice in the mail stating that my car was under a takata airbag recall. i called steve raymen chevrolet in smyrna ga. i spoke with service and gave all information and they said the part was not available. how do i go about getting this defective and recalled part on my vehicle fixed??

Takata recall - i have received multiple warnings about the dangerous hazard of these parts and am urged to get them replaced. once again i called my local service shop and their answer (once again, years later!) is that gm does not have replacement parts. is there something you can do to put pressure on them? i'd hate to have something horrific happen in the meantime and gm would not like the lawsuit that follows should something occur when they haven't done anything on this issue for years.

I received notice from takata and called the dealership to get the airbags replaced and they said at this time there is a known recall but gm has not decided how to fix the problem,

Takata airbag recall takata has not offered a fix. my vehicle is operating with a major safety defect. no issues yet but who knows when....

Takata airbags. i called wilmes chevy and was told that there were no parts available to replace the airbag or takata inflator. also called wilmes superstore over a year ago and was told the same thing. what do i do next?

Takata recall - my tahoe has been under recall for over a year now and my service airbag light is on in the dash. i have contacted dublin chevrolet for the repairs and they keep telling me that the parts are not available. i have afraid that if i do have an accident that the air bags may not work or may even go off with no accident occurring. i feel this could be life threatening and want this to be corrected immediately as i have no intention of selling my tahoe in the near future. i have grandchildren that ride with me ( all of whom are over age 12) and i fear for their safety as well. i am not happy at all with the way that chevrolet, general motors, or my local dealership is handling this situation. i have had the recall notice since july of 2016 and the air bag light has been on since before then. my dash has also cracked and broken in several places next to where the passenger air bag is located in the dash and i think this may be connected to the air bag situation.

Takata recall - i have attempted to have airbags replaced at autonation in gilbert three times and have been advised all three times that they do not have parts to address the recall. i continue to receive notifications that this needs to be done; however, i have yet to do so based on "no parts" being available.

Takata recall the dealership does not have the parts to replace my airbags without charge to me. if i want to pay for the repair myself they will replace with takata parts. this is ridiculous to replace defective part with the same costly defective part. why are you sending out recall notices without the dealerships having replacement parts.

Takata recall recall on vehicle since may 2016. now receiving usps mail where my information has been passed over to a private company to which i am receiving information of a bankruptcy filing and my rights are being timed with a problematic issue concerning my vehicle (received time limit notice 10/21/17). over a year now, i have been waiting to find out about a recall but it is still stated as "status: recall incomplete. remedy not yet available" (nhtsa recall number: 16v381, manufacture recall number 2049151). now i received "important legal notice" where owners have been given a deadline of december 27, 2017. yet, the status is still "incomplete". i am not wasting my time at a dealership to rip me off when i still have no status of recall to stay in control of the situation. now, due to the allowance of bankruptcy filing, my patience of handling this situation is coming to an end and i do not want to wait until i am injured by a known faulty part in my vehicle. this needs to be remedy swiftly and the status needs to be updated so that owners have a way of dealing with the situation without a dealership trying to steal more money from owners who have been put in a possibly harmful situation.

Takata recall - the service airbag warning is on my vehicle. i received a card in the mail stating the there is a recall and i should contact the nearest dealer immediately to have repaired for free. the dealer said they didn't have the parts and to call customer service 800 number. i was told by them that there is no replacement parts at this time, no rentals available and chevrolet says it is safe to drive even though the service airbag is lit up and a recall has been sent. after reading the warning about the airbags i am uncomfortable driving my car and no one seems to care or have an acceptable solution.

Takata recall. nothing has happened but i am afraid to drive my car because i do not want shrapnel in my face if i get into an accident .

Hi no one has been injured. i recieved post card with recall & class action information regarding the air bag inflators. i have called the dealer & they have told me they do not have the parts for repair.

Takata recall 10/19/17 called chevrolet center and spoke to service manager, mike gardner, who said he could do nothing about this as he has no information from gm.

Takata recall, call my local dealer to get my airbags replaced. said they do not have the replacement parts. so my car is unsafe to drive.

I've been trying to get my airbag replaced sine i recieved my letter in may 2016. i contacted several dealers and they claim they don't have the parts in and don't show a recall for this matter. i contacted them again today november 1st. of 2017. i'm still driving the vehicle but afraid it may go off for no reason and result to a major accident. i recieved a letter from tk holdings inc. on 10/18/2017 and still getting nowhere

Takata recall , i was told that my recall was doment and that as of now no replacement, this is not very good knowing i have a takata in my tahoe.

Nothing has happened yet. i don't feel safe in this car anymore.

Takata recall

Takata recall we have been unable to get our airbag repaired by our gm dealer with no real explanation as to why. my wife is afraid to drive the tahoe after reading what could happen if inflated and since we live in a hot humid area it makes it even worse.

Takata recall been waiting for 2 years for gm to correct this problem! it is unsafe and i feel that gm should have to replace my vehicle due to it putting myself and my wife's life at risk!

The dashboard of the vehicle cracks in multiple locations to include around the airbag. should he airbag deploy it will be punctured by sharp pieces from the dashboard. this makes the vehicle unsafe and ithe airbags ineffective should the deploy.

The dash in my vehicle has cracked and could be a safety issue should the airbag deploy.

I was traveling at about 50 mph on an asphalt road, and for no reason at all, my side curtain airbags suddenly deployed for no reason at all.. the road had no potholes, and my vehicle had not veered from the road. i could not see the curb because once inflated, the airbags would not deflate and it was very difficult maneuver my vehicle out of traffic as i could not see from any of my side windows. i ended up hitting the curb at about 40 mph, and flattened both passenger tires and severely denting both rims as well. had a more unexperienced driver like my daughter been driving at the time, this malfunction could have easily cost us with her life. i was on a smooth road, traveling in a straight line, in very light traffic. there was no reason whatsoever for these airbags to deploy! i spoke with my local dealership and after giving my vin, they told me that there was a recall on the side curtain airbags, but that it wasn't technically a recall yet, because they have yet to find a solution to the problem. however, when i speak to corporate, they completely denied any knowledge of anyone ever having such a problem. yet when i look online at tahoe forums, the number one complaint that i see on every single site, is that the side curtain airbags deploy for no reason at all...

Takada airbags recall notice received in mail in july 2016. i was rear ended on april 3, 2017 no fault of my own. the airbag did not deploy thank goodness. i parked it and haven't driven it since. my complaint is that it's been 1 1/2 yrs since the recall and still no fix for replacement of airbag. i feel the vehicle is unsafe to drive and i should be compensated for the inconvenience of not having a safe vehicle to drive.

Takata recall i received the recall notice last year and when nothing happened, i called the local dealer who said gm is not going to replace anything and that it was safe.gm's rep repeated the same thing. i live along the chincoteaque bay and the warm salt air concerns me with those faulty takata airbags in my truck. my complaint filed with safer car is # 10948531, but have heard nothing. just received a card indicating that takata is sending that unit into chapter 11, which also concerns me.

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. *js

I read the article on the air bags and do not want any serious problems. what are my options for repair?
