DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES NEAR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY CAUSING SHARDS OF DEFECTIVE DASH TO ACT AS PROJECTILES INJURING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES FROM 2007 TO 2013. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN CRACK WAS FIRST OBSERVED.

TAKATA RECALL NOT REPAIRED

TAKATA RECALL NOTHING YET BUT NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING WITH A UNSTABLE BOMB IN MY VEHICLE. WHATS THE HOLD UP WITH A REPLACEMENT?

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE ASKED THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE DANGEROUS AIRBAGS FIVE OR SIX TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR & A HALF AS WELL AS TELEPHONING GMC CORPORATE OFFICE TWICE. THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. CONSEQUENTLY, THEY LEAVE ME, MY FAMILY & PASSENGERS IN DANGER OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. HOW CAN I FORCE THEM TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS?

Mileage: 45,000

THEY WILL CALL ONCE REPAIR IS KNOWN. WHY ISN'T THIS SAFETY ISSUE FIXED YET?
