2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Air Bags Problems

as mentioned by many customers the dash on the vehicles crack and GM refuses to pay for repairs. Now there is a Airbag recall that needs to be completed and I am told by dealer that the dash will crack more and get worse during the repair and they are not responsible for the damage. This is unacceptable and unsafe as it is costing me and consumers more money for a defective product.

Vehicle had a recall for airbag. After the vehicle was taken for the recall the dashboard is cracked. This dashboard issue needs to be fixed. It's outrageous if GM is not held accountable.

4TH COMPLAINT ON THIS RECALL, STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS BUT GM HAS MADE 10 MORE YEARS OF TRUCKS AND SELL REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS FOR THIS MODEL, NOT A GOOD SAFETY RECALL IF THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE DECIDING THIS VEHICLE IS TRULY AFFECTED BY THE AIRBAG THEY INSTALLED. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM VEHICLE AGAIN. STILL NO RESPONSE FROM LAST COMPLAINT. NHTSA SHOULD BE DEFUNDED.

GM IS SAYING THERE IS NO REMEDY YET, BUT THEY ARE SELLING REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS UNDER PART # 22744316. SO IS THERE NOT REMEDY OR DO THEY NOT WANT TO COVER THEIR RECALL. WHEN YOU PAY 50K FOR A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT THE MANUFACTURER TO STAND BEHIND IT. SAYING THE VEHICLE IS SAFE DOES NOT MAKE ME COMFORTABLE IF I WAS TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE AIRBAG TO GO OFF. LET ALONG IF SOMEONE WAS TO DIE FROM THE AIRBAG. WHAT GOOD IS NHTSA IF YOU DON'T ENFORCE THE RECALLS, YOU CANNOT LET THE MANUFACTURER DECIDE THAT ANY OF THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THE RECALL ARE SAFE. I WILL NOT BE BUYING ANOTHER GM VEHICLE IF THIS IS NOT TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY OF 2016 THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN GM 2011 MODEL YEAR SILVERADOS. THE INFO I'M GETTING WHEN I SEARCH THE DATABASE FOR RECALLS IS AS FOLLOWS: RECALL STATUS: INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. GM IS WORKING QUICKLY TO FINALIZE THE NECESSARY REPAIR PROCEDURES AND/OR OBTAIN PARTS. YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA WRITTEN COMMUNICATION WHEN THE REPAIR PROCEDURE OR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK BACK AT THIS WEBSITE OR WITH YOUR PREFERRED CERTIFIED SERVICE DEALER. IT'S BEEN OVER THREE YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND GM HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT TO TEST THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS. WHY HASN'T THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FORCED GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION?

TAKATA RECALL. MY DEALER REFUSES TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. PLEASE HELP GET THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL: MY FAMILY AND I SUFFERED A SEVERE CAR ACCIDENT AND NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WE HIT GOING 70MPH INTO A FLIPPED 18 WHEELER ON THE HIGHWAY.

Mileage: 150,000

TAKATA AIR BAGS REMEDY STILL UNAVAILABLE. THE CHECK AIR BAGS LIGHT ON DASH KEEPS COMING ON. I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET MY TRUCK FIXED

I PUT MY VIN IN YOUR DATABASE TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. PER YOUR WEB SITE, GM REQUEST A PETITION OF INCONSEQUENTUALITY FOR MY MODEL VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH TAKATA HAS IDENTIFIED THEIR AIRBAGS AS BEING INSTALLED ON MY TRUCK. THERE WAS TO HAVE BEEN A RULING, AGAIN PER YOUR WEBSITE, IN AUGUST OF 2017. THERE IS REFERENCE TO A DOCKET NUMBER WHICH I COULD NOT LOCATE. SO, I'M ASKING WHAT IS THE LATEST NHTSA RULING REGARDING GM'S PETITION OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY? I MAY BE DRIVING AROUND IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE WHICH SEEMS TO NOT MATTER TO GM OR TO NHTSA. PLEASE CALM MY FEARS AND GIVE ME THE MOST RECENT INFORMATION, EVEN IF IT MAY BE SOMETHING I DON'T WISH TO HEAR. THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL: I WANT THIS AIRBAG REPLACED!! THIS AIRBAG HAS BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE 05/2016. GM FILED FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND YOUR WEBSITE SAYS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REVIEWED AND DECIDED BY 2017. IT IS NOW 08/2018, BUT TODAY, GM SAYS NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE, STILL. THIS AIRBAG IS A POTENTIAL LOADED SHOTGUN POINTED AT MY PASSENGERS. I NEED A REMEDY FOR THIS AIRBAG ASAP! I THINK WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT ENOUGH!!!!

THE DASH IS CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IF THE AIRBAG HAS TO INFLATE I AM AFRAID IT WILL SEND PIECES OF DASH INTO THE PASSENGERS FACE.

Mileage: 45,000

THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY 2016. NOW FORD / MAZDA HAS ISSUED A DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL REPAIRED WITH REPAIRS AVAILABLE. BUT STILL NO REMEDY FROM GM FOR THIS? THEY HAVE BUILT HOW MANY MORE MODEL YEAR TRUCKS AND HOW MANY TRUCKS SINCE 2011. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE TEMPERATURES HERE REACH 100* IN THE SUMMERS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR A REPAIR NOT TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS AFTER THIS LENGTH OF TIME. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO POSSIBLY BE KILLED BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS. GM IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR CONSUMERS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN NO REMEDY YET. NOT ACCEPTABLE. IF AN AIRBAG CAN EXPLODE AND KILL SOMEONE THAN IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED NOW.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIR BAG.

Mileage: 75,700

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG. THERE ARE THREE CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AS OF TODAY.

Mileage: 72,000

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE HAD A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL SINCE MAY OF 2016. IT STATES THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY 2 YEARS LATER! VERY DISHEARTENING AS THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE.

NEED TO REPLACE WITH A NEW AIR BAG SINCE THIS ONE HAS BEEN RECALLED.

NEED TO REPLACE AIR BAG WITH A NEW ONE SINCE THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN RECALLED

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER BEING IN TOUCH ONCE AGAIN WITH CARL BLACK ORLANDO FLORIDA WE ARE STILL TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR REPLACEMENT OF TAKATA AIRBAG. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT THE LAST ONE BEING 11/30/2017. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A REPLACEMENT? CARL BLACK REPRESENTATIVE TOLD US OUR VEHICLE IS "SAFE".

TAKATA RECALL - MY TRUCK'S AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED 05/27/2016 AND I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE SELMAN CHEVROLET, WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK, CHECK AND REPLACE THE AIRBAGS BUT THEY KEEP GIVING ME A RUN AROUND AND THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE BAGS FOR REPLACEMENT. TAKATA HAS FOUND THAT THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES AND THE BAGS MAY RUPTURE, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. HOWEVER, I AM EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY TRUCK AND RISK DEATH OR INJURY! SELMAN CHEVROLET IN ORANGE, CA DOES NOT CARE AND IN EFFECT - REFUSES TO DO THE SAFETY RECALL!.

TAKATA RECALL LACK OF INFORMATION IS ASTOUNDING, WEB SITE AND PHONE NUMBER ARE A LOOP, REFER TO EACH OTHER AND OFFER NO SPECIFICS. DEALER SAYS 'PARTS NOT AVAILABLE' FOUND INFO GM WAS CONDUCTING 'STUDY' BUT NO INFO OF NHTSA ACTIONS RE THIS STUDY. I'M IN ATLANTA AND A K2500HD DON'T FIT IN A GARAGE! CAN'T GET MUCH MORE HEAT AND HUMIDITY EXPOSURE THAN HERE!

TAKATA RECALL: CHEVROLET IS NOT OFFERING A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE."

TAKATA RECALL, RECALL IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD AND NO SOLUTION YET, NO ONE ELSE MAKES AIRBAGS? NOW THE SENATE IS PROPOSING A BILL TO FORCE REPAIRS OR NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER THE VEHICLE. TOO MUCH REGULATION ALREADY THAT DOESN'T WORK.

Mileage: 80,000

TAKATA RECALL IS CAUSING ME TO LOSE VALUE ON THE TRADE-IN OF MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T RESALE IT ON THEIR LOT.

THE DASH HAS BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM AFFRAID IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO HAPPEN AND THAT AIRBAG HAD TO DEPLOY IT WOULD SEND BROKEN PLASTIC IN MY FAMILY OR MYSELF FACE OR COULD TARE THE AIRBAG. I REALIZE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND THERE HAS BEEN COUNTLESS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FEEL THIS SHOULD NO DOUBT BE A RECALLED ISSUE.

Mileage: 84,000

DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES.
