Takata recall - we were notified that our air bags were dangerous and should be replaced. That letter came in july 2016 we drive our grandkids in this car. We have asked over and over again when we will get new ones. Same answer when we get some. It is not 2 years and still they won't tell us anything about when this will be replaced. Having a recent traffic accident and the bags did not go off as they should of because of the impact. I wonder if they are so damaged as they don't work at all. Help us please to get our new airbags..the letter states that this is a gm recall 49151. We have also been informed now that the company has filed bankruptcy.

Takata recall: my vehicle VIN is listed as one that has been identified as having faulty takata airbags. Gm was given until sept 2017 to complete its investigation and come up with a plan to resolve the problem. So far I have heard nothing from gm about this and when I called the local dealership in november of 2017 I was told to just "wait and we'll let you know". The deadline for their investigation ended three months ago. I have a faulty airbag and am driving myself and my 5 kids around town daily. I need this to be fixed, but gm refuses to do anything and apparently the federal government lets deadlines slide by without any repercussions against companies that are defiantly flaunting the rules. What can be done about this so that we can be assured our vehicles are safe? The 20th death

While driving vehicle, heard a loud noise-- thought initially a rock had hit windshield. When stopped vehicle, noticed that the dash had cracked at both front edges of airbag on passenger side of dash. Went to local Chevy dealership shortly afterwards, was told no warranty as vehicle past 36k mileage limit. I inquired as to safety of these cracks, asking what might happen if airbag deployed and "pieces of dash were projected at passengers". Dealer indicated nothing they could do. *tr

"takata recall" the dashboard has cracked in several places and over the course of a few months, has completely broken over the instrument cluster. This is a safety hazard as I am afraid other pieces will fly out in the event of an accident. My family and I have been faithful customers of gm since the 50's but I am strongly considering another brand since gm does not honor or offer to fix repeated problems by its owners.
