Problems with 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe AIR BAGS

Air bag issue dash light on anactive recall

Takata recall... i've been in a car accident and my air bags did not deploy, i even have warning lights on that says service airbag. gm told me there is no remedy for this recall? i would like it fixed as there is a recall!!

I see that there is an outstanding recall for my vehicle, i have 3 small children and cannot risk driving them in a vehicle that has issues with the airbags. what can be done as i am paying and driving this vehicle that is potentially deadly if the airbags deploy in an accident. the recall # is 16v381. i keep seeing that there is no remedy available. this is a serious danger to my family.

Vehicle has significant and extensive cracking of the front dashboard, especially over the instrument console, due to an engineering design flaw in the 2007-2013 models. in the event of an accident, the dashboard will crack and splinter, causing potentially dangerous plastic shards to be directed at the occupants of the vehicle at time of impact, or possibly rupturing deployed airbags, rendering them useless.

Vehicle was taken in reference to recall and was advise that recall was still pending due to shortage of part

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v383000 (air bags) and stated that the part needed for the repair was not available. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. vin tool confirms part not available. updated 12/23/16*lj

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.

Takata recall i live in florida, and have the oldest tahoe on the list of recalled vehicles. the dealership here in jacksonville has told me they will not be repairing the airbag anytime soon, and has not offered a loaner or any other solutions.

Takata recall. gm is not fixing this issue. honda replaced their customers airbags. why isn't gm held responsible?

Takata recall-----i received a letter almost 3 months ago that there was a recall out on the airbags in my tahoe. i took the tahoe to the chevy dealer where i purchased the vehicle and they told me that i have to wait for a 2nd letter having to do with the parts coming in??? i have not gotten that 2nd letter? i have been back 2 times since and get the same response from the dealer service department.. i have to wait for the 2nd letter about the parts being available to fix the vehicle. am i going to have to wait until something catastrophic happens?

The dash board has a crack right next to the air bag also above the gauges. my worry is if the air bag goes off the plastic from the dash will pop up and put a hole in the air bag. which will then deflate and no serve its purpose. or that part of the dash board will break off from the impact of the air bag and will hurt someone in the vehicle. please contact. me for photos it is saying they are too large to upload. thank you *tr

Cracked dash over the instrument panel. vehicle kept in immaculate condition but it appears that the heating /cooling cycle along with sub-par material and design may be creating a huge problem for a great many of tahoe owners. the initial crack was noticed during the summer months in northern illinois and over a period of two-three weeks it progressed from the seam between the two dash panels towards the drivers position. this vehicle has not been wreck, abused, or taken off road. unknown exactly when or what caused the dash to start cracking but it seems to be an ongoing problem which can cause a safety issue along with a decreased value of these vehicles due to poor quality. love the truck but the quality and customer support are very poor.

My truck is selected for recall.. but letter says it's safe to drive. but the letter also explains what can happens if the air bags inflator may rupture during deployment causing serious or fatal injuries. also the inflator can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions.. well it's summer time and that can happen if i have an accident.. need my truck taken asap..

Takata recall....received notice back on july 2016 about a gm recall on the air bags on my vehicle. to this date nothing has happened on the recall and i am very concerned about the safety of this vehicle. 16 months is long enough to find a solution to this very unsafe situation.

Takata recall this re-call has been in effect since 2016 and nothing has been resolved, i drive this vehicle with my children in it sometimes the light turns on and sometimes it doesn't, this is really concerning. if something happens these people will be sued for not fixing this serious issue.

There is an active recall, why can't the government enforce the recall

Takata recall i have been trying to get air bags replace by chevy dealership since july of 2016 can you help everytime i ask the dealership do they have air bags in they me know i need help getting the bags replaced

July 2016 recall letter sent. no further action has been taken. called today and was advised no solution to problem. car is being driven.

Takata inflators: in july, 2016, chevrolet's global vehicle safety vice president notified me of the recall, saying i would be notified "when there are parts available." that was over a year ago. when i called my local dealer to inquire whether they had received the parts, they responded in the negative, and could not tell me when they might be available. i want the problem corrected now.
