Takata recall since 2016 recall remedy not available no parts. after long term exposure in hot and humid weather, the propellant degrades to a certain level and the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries. for me, this is a battle for my life and it would put my family in jeopardy of theirs.

Takata recall recall issued officially over 2 years, unofficially much longer. request status and completion date. contact / telephone calls to the manufacture for status and completion date has only resulted in being referred to the nhtsa. same with nhtsa, manufacturer and dealers have said "no danger/risks". then why a safety recall?? two+ years, no solution!! my family's safety is the issue. because of the danger, and to prevent their injury, airbags have been disabled resulting to exposure to additional risks.
Takata recall this recall has been in a pending status since may of 2016. that is over a year of driving with a potential safety risk. this is very concerning when i have a passenger in my car %90 of the time. i also have an air bag notification on my vehicle notification center. basically i dont have a functioning airbag in my passenger side

My current 2008 chevrolet hybrid tahoe, vin# [xxx] has airbags included in the takata airbag recall, manufacturer recall number 2049152, nhtsa recall number16v383. the nhtsa has deemed these airbags have caused 16 deaths, and hundreds of serious injuries. gm/chevrolet has stated the airbags are "safe" despite the nhtsa recall. i have contacted the nhtsa and they stated that the airbags in my vehicle need to be replaced, and in the interim until they are replaced no one should be allowed to ride in the front passenger seat of the vehicle due to potential risk of death from the airbag exploding without reason. this is an absolutely absurd, belligerent and unacceptable business practice gm is being allowed to engage in. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

A crack appeared recently on the dashboard starting at the corner of the passenger airbag. i just hope a friend or family member is not killed if i ever were to get in an accident. i see there have been quite a few complaints regarding this. why has gm ignored it and not started an investigation?
*takata recall. received the airbag recall over a year and a half ago and every time i call the dealership they tell me they will contact me when the part is available. still no call or repair. received notice in march 2016 i believe. how do i get my vehicle fixed?

There is a crack in the dash that extends from the passenger side airbag area. i am concerned with the fact that if the airbag were to deploy it could propel plastic material into the cabin and at the passengers.
Hello, there is a crack in my dashboard of my 2008 chevy tahoe that may very much affect the deployment of my airbag. i really and truly feel that if an accident should occur they air bag will not function properly. i just purchased from bmw in macon on 1/6/2016 and i have an expended warranty.
Takata recall no remedy available taking a long time to come to remedy
The dash board o the vehicle is cracking all around the takata recall airbags. the cracks are spidering across the dash, there are so may complaints with this dash board cracking and it is a safety issue if the airbags go off the dash board is likely to shatter and potentially be a projectile causing injury or death. this should be invesitigated and be a recall. you will find thousands of vehicle have this problem, gm is aware and its all over facebook and online. just google tahoe cracked dashboard and look for yourself. thank you for investigating this matter
All six side airbags on our 2008 chevrolet tahoe deployed while my wife was driving the vehicle with our two children in their rear car seats. there was no impact, bump, pot-hole or any other reason apparent to us why the airbags deployed. it was completely random. no one was injured and my wife maintained control of the vehicle to a safe stop, but she was stunned and disoriented. the damage to our vehicle is extensive. in addition to replacing six airbags, light fixtures, plastic molding, the roof panel and fabric/liner are all damaged. at this point, the dealer is not helping at all. we have contacted gm but they have not responded after 2 days. we believe this is not only a product liability issue that gm should repair, but also a major safety issue. we are all very fortunate that this did not result in a single or multi-vehicle accident, injuries related to the accident, or injuries related to the airbag deployment. we need help to ensure gm addresses this issue proactively, before someone is seriously injured or killed.

The dashboard on my chevy tahoe is cracking. it began with one very small crack and now it has spread to the airbag compartment. the cracks have become so bad that the airbag compartment on the passenger side has begun to protrude above the surface of the dashboard.
The dashes on a significant number of 1500-3500 series tahoe, suburban, yukon, sierra and silverado model vehicles from gm are cracking all over the dash. the cracks are located specifically around the passenger airbag causing a safety issue for vinyl shrapnel being launched at passengers in the cabin upon airbag deployment. this is similar to the crisis faced by toyota. gm is neglecting the safety of its customers by allowing this to occur. the number of vehicles experiencing the exact same cracks, down to the size and exact location, constitutes a design flaw in the location of the mounting points which is causing uneven distribution of weight as well as point stresses. if this piece was properly engineered it would distribute stress and flex properly to avoid the plastic mode of failure to which they are currently experiencing. updated 12/12/2017*cn
My air bag sensor needs to be replaced - at an astronomical price this is crazy - i have just replaced the ball joints and now i have to replace an airbag sensor in order to get an inspection sticker.....not happy. *tr
Dash has cracked in multiple places. first crack is on right side of dash, top left of the air bag panel. second crack is on left side of dash over the instrument panel. most people don't think about a cracked dash being dangerous. however, if the airbags are deployed, fragments could become projectiles that can harm passengers. chevrolet/gm needs to make this right.
Cracking dashboard. this has happened over time and cannot be attributed to the speed, direction, or orientation of the vehicle. i feel this can be a safety issue inhibiting the safe deployment of the airbags.
There are numerous cracks in the dashboard around the airbag. i am worried if the air bag will prematurely deploy, or will not be able to deploy as designed with the cracks. my vehicle is a 2008 tahoe ltz. there are countless people with the same issue, with the crack in the same place. i have no idea what is going on with the electrically system and what the cracks might be doing. *tr
Airbags did not deploy...updated 11/03/14 *bf updated 4/28/2015 *js
Takata recall gm delaying in taking action to fix issue
There are very large cracks on my dash board, the worst one being around the airbag plastic cover on the passenger side of the dash! you can see under the cover showing all of the components under the dash! the crack that is on the drivers side is above the steering column running from the defroster to the top by the speedometer displays, etc! i feel as if these cracks, specifically the one on the passenger side, is a huge safety hazard! without crashing, there is no way of telling if the passenger side airbag will deflate properly due to this! i feel that to find this out, it should be at no ones expense! i have filed a complaint & a claim with gm a few months ago only to be told by the dealership that gm contacted on my behalf that the responsibility is mine if i wanted this problem to be fixed! the dealership informed me that it would cost $850 to $1000 to have the dash replaced! the dealership also said that they are very aware of this problem in the tahoes because they have replaced some dashes! gm is not taking any responsibility for their faulty equipment & refuse to issue a recall! there are thousands of other customers who i know for a fact that are also facing the same problems with their trucks & suvs! please do the right thing & issue a recall on these faulty & cheap made dash boards! thank you! *tr
Noticed two sizeable cracks in the dashboard, one of which is right near the airbag. i researched the issue and noticed there are several other tahoe owners that are experiencing the same thing and that it is a defect in the dashboard. the cracks seem to be getting bigger and i'm concerned pieces of the dashboard will splinter creating flying projectiles if the airbag were to ever deploy. *js
Driving down major street and front left tire brushed curb and the side air bags deployed. front air bags did not deploy. tire did not blow out and no damage to any part of vehicle. *tr
I purchased my chevy tahoe in july 2013. i was only the second owner. i did not notice right away but the dash board was cracked above the cluster. since i purchased the card i have used a sun shade to protect the interior of the car. since i purchased the car there has been another crack located at the passenger airbag. my main concern is if i were to get into an accident would the dash stay intact or would the cracked pieces then become similar to shrapnel? i have contacted gm customer service regarding this, all they did was set up an appointment with my local dealership and did not explain the problem. i was then contacted by the local dealership and after some time was told that there was nothing they could do for me other than paying for the repair out of pocket. they claimed it was due to the fact that i am not the original owner and my mileage is too high. however on numerous on-line forums there have been different stories and amounts people are being charge for replacing this item that is a known problem. this problem effects 2007 - 2013 tahoe, silverado, yukon, denali, sierra and suburban. *tr
Air bag light has been on since we bought the vehicle and dealer told us that it is not covered under their warranty. but they did tell me that the airbags will not work if we were in an accident. *tr
Dashboard has substantial cracks at and around passenger air bag. cracks have subsequently appeared on the dash above the steering wheel. may be associated with inadvertent deployment of air bag causing bodily harm to passenger. *tr
Takata recall it has been quite a few years since the announcement of the bag recall was made public, we still not heard back from gm or dealers when will they fix our problesm
Cracked dashboard that affects airbags and electric wiring associated to dash and dashboard components. causes visual images on windshield when driving making it a hazardous situation. there is two cracks on this dash which over time will cause tremendous issues with safety issues associated to the wiring and safety airbags.
2008 chevrolet tahoe 4x4 v8 5.3l, check air bag light came on during a routine drive and no bags deployed. checked with dealer and they wanted $300 to clear fault code b0083 for a front sensor. looked online and many other gm vehicles have had similar issues with this safety related device. since it is of safety concern and there has never been an accident with the vehicle i would like the nhtsa to investigate gm airbag sensor component failures of vehicles with less than 150k miles. *tr
I had just pulled up in the driveway at my residence heading inside an i heard a noise from the vechile! when i went to see the side airbags on both side deployed! i called insurance company and they didn't cover it so contacted gm an they decided to send someone out to the place where the truck was towed! now gm decided it was a electrical problem with the sensor an they gonna fix it! the truck could be ready anytime now they were waiting on a backorder part to come in. im still thinking if this vehicle if safe for me an my family. *tr
There is a very large cracked area on the dashboard on the drivers side near the speedometer area. my concern is that this may some how deploy the air bag or other mechnical instruments in this area. *tt

Takata recall. between 2010/2011 side curtain airbags (front and back), deployed while operating vehicle in optimum driving conditions, after a passing over a pothole in the roadway. i was traveloing with my then [xxx] son and daughter. imeediately took the vehicle into the dealership only to wait over a month, without a vehicle, and never given the option of a rental or loaner vehicle. as "chevrolet" investigated the on-board computer data, it falsely read that airbags deployed due to "rollover event" data was sent to the vehicles srs system. chevrolet then deemed that i was driving over 95 mph (which is impossible due to the rev limiter), and i had oversized wheels on my vehicle. wheel diameter and size were not the factor, as they were within 5/32" of oem stock dimensions. i was charged for "troubleshooting", as wewll as labor for the removal of the side airbags, and they declined the claim. additionally, i have had to reyturn to the dealership to again "warranty" the ecm, bcm, window regulator (twice), as well as charging system faults. my extended warranty was again denied saying it was not within the parameters of the coverage. full extended warranty, bumper to bumper and this was not covered? also, the dashboard front cowl is cracked (known defect, no recall), chrome peeling off interior door handle, as well as stabilitrak" computer errors and issues (known issue, no recall) parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)
2008 chevrolet tahoe ltz has had service airbag warnings displayed since the day we purchased it new from the chevrolet dealer. dealer repaired day of purchase and it was been returned to dealer three additional times for the same problem; service airbag light illuminates in the driver information center. we've received a different report of the problem and the solution each time from the dealer service department. the most recent time, onstar actually called the vehicle and told us they were receiving airbag warnings from the vehicle and that the airbags may not deploy in the event of an accident. there has not been an accident or injury to date, but we are obviously concerned that if there is an accident that we will not be protected. feel free to call with any questions. *tr
I have tried many times to get my airbags replaced or whatever needs to be done for several years but am always advised that it can't be done at this time
Takata recall still have not been able to complete air bag recall. why doesn't anything get done about this.
Takata recall - there has been a recall in place since may 2016 and there is still no solution for my vehicle. when are you going to come up with a solution to fix these life threating airbags? if you don't have a fix them give me the warranty money to have them removed at a chevy dealer.
