“Takata recall its been over 2 years since the recal has been issued. Gm still has not determined a resolution to the problem. They were given until august 2017 to find a resolution. Now nearly a year later they have done nothing to resolve the issue and continue to put their consumers lives at risk to save money. This is beyond unacceptable. The NHTSA needs to finally step up and force them to actually do something to rectify the issue before more people are injured or killed.”Owner report · Air Bags · Jun 2018
“Deadline for airbag recall decision was aug 2017. Gm has failed to come up with a recall, solution, or plan to drivers. What is the final answer? Are these vehicles safe or not?”Owner report · Air Bags · Mar 2018
“Could not get the recall repaired as the company that makes the air bag is no longer in business. Takata. A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment”Owner report · Air Bags · Dec 2017
“I received a notice for the recall for the airbags back in july of 2017, I have asked my dealer today, and as of today, they do not have the parts to repair the defective airbags almost a year and a half later. I would say that the problem has not been repaired in a timely manner. I am afraid to drive the vehicle in fear of injury if deployment of the airbag takes place. I have only put few thousand miles on the vehicle since receiving the recall notice.”Owner report · Air Bags · Nov 2017
“"takata recall" there is no reason why this has not been remedied yet! By general motors or takata (which is now going bankrupt!) I feel unsafe driving around a vehicle with defective safety equipment! There is no solution and I've contacted dealers!”Owner report · Air Bags · Nov 2017
“The service stabilitrak light comes on along with the check engine light causing the truck to shut off or not move. This has happened while am on the freeway, city street and stopped at a stop light. I have took my truck in for the same problem more then four times and same issue keeps happening.”Owner report · Electronic Stability Control (Esc) · May 2017
“I'm writing this as just like loads of other people are having the same issue. I have both a 07 yukon denali and an 07 silverado 2500 both have the exact same issue. The denali is the worst. Cracked dashboard. I'm worried that if I was to have an accident and the passenger airbag was to deploy that sharp pierces of the dashboard will go flying towards the people in the vehicle. Gm really should be doing a recall on this as it is a common issue right through all the vechiles that share the same dashboard. Seems lately every week the cracks get worse. I'm waiting for the day the dashboard falls to pieces. It started around april but since then the dash has fallen to pieces so much since then.”Owner report · Unknown Or Other · Apr 2017
