AN INflATOR RUPTURE MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG AND INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AT HIGH SPEED, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THIS RECALL HAS YET TO HAVE A REMEDY. WITH A RECALL OF THIS MANNER I WOULD THINK THAT IT WOULD BE OF MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE TO GET A REMEDY IN ORDER IN A TIMELY MANNER. HOWEVER, WE ARE STILL WAITING.

NEEDS TO BE FIX AND NHTSA STATES THAT THEY CAN NOT FIX IT

MY DASH LIGHT HAVE A CODE THAT SAY CHECK AIR BAG SERVICE NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT IN VEHICLE BUT. LIGHT STAYS ON I THINK IAM APART OF RECALL BUT NOONE AT DEALER HAVE REACH OUT TO ME IAM OWNER OF VEHICLE AND MY CAR IS PAIDED OFF

Mileage: 79,000

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN 2017. FOUND OUT ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALL AND OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS I HAVE WENT TO SEVERAL GMC DEALERSHIPS TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS TO FIX THE RECALL ISSUE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THEY CANT FIX IT WITHOUT THE PROPER AIRBAGS WHICH THEY DONT HAVE. HOW IS IT THAT THERE IS RECALLS, AND EVEN DEATHS BUT I HAVE TO FEAR DRIVING THIS TRUCK HOPING MY AIRBAG WONT DEPLOY? AND NO ONE CARES TO FIX THE ISSUE. I SPENT 2 THOUSAND DOLLARS THROWING PARTS INTO MY ENGINE TO FIND OUT. TWO LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE DOESN'T LIKE COLD WEATHER. WHEN THE TEMP DROPS BELOW 40 DEGREES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE RAISES ABOVE 40 DEGREES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF. I CHASED THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS. THERE IS SOME MECHANICAL ISSUE HERE.

THE TOP SECTION OF THE DASHBOARD HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS INCLUDING AREAS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. THE AIRBAG SECTION IS THE MOST TROUBLING, AS IT WOULD APPEAR THE BROKEN SECTIONS COULD BECOME AIRBORNE AT A HIGH RATE OF VELOCITY IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

GM IS NOT FIXING THE RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS, AND I AM NOT ABLE TO SELL OR DRIVE THE VEHICLE.

NHTSA DOCKET # 2016-0124. NHTSA 16V381. GM RECALL #2049151. HOW LONG IS A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME FOR A SAFETY RECALL TO BE OR THE ACTED ON? THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN MAY 2016, YOU AND GM JUST WANT TO SET ON IT WHILE I AM DRIVING A UNSAFE TRUCK. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AUGUST 2017 DECISION DATE TO GET GENERAL MOTORS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 GM SIERRA AIR BAG. THEY CLAIM NO ONE HAS BEEN KILLED "YET", WHAT'S THE NUMBER TO GET THEM TO ACT OR THE NHTSA TO MAKE THEM DO THE RIGHT THING. IF SAFETY IS SO IMPORTANT WHY HAS IT BEEN 3 1/2 YEARS WITH NO FIX, I HAVE NOT EVEN GOT A LETTER FROM THEM TELLING ME I HAVE A RECALLED AIR BAG ON MY TRUCK, I GUESS THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW, IT MIGHT COST THEM SOME MONEY.

TAKATA RECALL. DEALER DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR MY VEHICLE. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE BAGS TO INFLATE YET, GRATEFULLY. JUST CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT FIXED AND FROM WHAT I READ, THERE IS NOT A FIX ON THE HORIZON. I FIND THIS UNSETTLING. IS THERE A TIME LINE FOR THIS FIX? DO I HAVE CAUSE FOR ALARM AFTER ALL THIS TIME? I HAVE READ THAT THE PROPELLANT CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME AND HOT WEATHER. I LIVE IN A VERY HOT CLIMATE.

RECEIVED NOTIFICATION SUMMER OF 2016 OF THE ISSUE AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST THREE YEARS SINCE THAT LETTER AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATION ON THIS BEING CORRECTED ON MY VEHICLE. I AM ESTIMATING ON THE DATE THE LETTER WAS SENT. I HAVE A COPY BUT NOT AT THE TIME OF ME SUBMITTING THIS INFORMATION.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY EVERY TIME I CHECK MY RECALLS ON THIS TRUCK I FIND IT DOES HAVE AN AIRBAG RECALL ON IT BUT WHEN I CHECK WHAT IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT I GET "INCOMPLETE REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE"? THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE I, ON SOMEONE ELSE, GETS INJURED OR I PASS AWAY AWAITING THE REPAIR. I UNDERSTAND GENERAL MOTORS DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO CORRECT THIS BUT WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR SOMEONE TO FORCE THEM TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO SAVE SOME LIVES OR INJURIES? MY VIN FOR MY GMC TRUCK IS: [XXX] AND IT WAS ON THE RECALL, IT IS MODEL C10753 MADE IN 10/10 ENGINE = 5.3L 8CYL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL: I AM INFORMED AND HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY VEHICLE WITH THE VIN I PROVIDED IS UNSAFE!!! THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. GMC IS AND HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM FOR AT LEAST 2 1/2 YEARS! I JUST SPOKE WITH GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. SAME ANSWER FOR 2 1/2 YEARS?! GMC ADVISED THEY HAVE ELECTED TO WORK WITH YOU SPECIFICALLY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW YOUR ROLE IN THE MATTER, BUT I AM NOT WILLING TO WAIT UNTIL A TRAGEDY OCCURS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS NO URGENCY SOMEWHERE. WHY ARE YOU WAITING FOR A PART FROM A DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURER? THIS IS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE AND UNACCEPTABLE TO PUT ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK AND ANYONE ELSE TRAVELING WITH ME. I AM ASKING THAT YOU EITHER REPLACE THE VEHICLE WITH ONE THAT IS 100% SAFE OR FIX THE VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER MANUFACTURER THAT DOES NOT HAVE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IMMEDIATELY. I USE MY VEHICLE EVERY DAY FOR WORK AND IT IS MY SOLE SOURCE OF INCOME. THE ATTACHED ARTICLE SAYS YOU ARE URGING AUTOMAKERS TO MAKE PLANS TO REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE PARTS. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO. IMAGINE IF IT WERE YOUR FAMILY IN AN UNSAFE AND DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

ON NOVEMBER 29, 2018 AT AROUND 12:00PM, I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ON ROUTE 460 WEST TOWARD GRUNDY, VIRGINIA, THE ROADS WAS CLEAR, AND THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR, AT A SPEED ABOUT 35MPH AND THE CEILING AIRBAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING THE SEATBELTS TO LOCK UP, AND SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE AIR BAGS MADE A LOUD NOISE, THAT A NEIGHBORING BUSINESS HEARD THEM DEPLOY. I WAS NOT INJURED ONLY SCARED AND STARTLED BY WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. I RESTARTED MY TRUCK AND PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED, AND PROCEDED TO DRIVE TO MY MOTHER IN LAW'S WORK PLACE. I THEN CALLED MY MOM WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND SHE ADVISED ME TO CALL RAMEY CHEVROLET RICHLANDS VA BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED. I HAD TO RESHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF BAD WEATHER AND BEING ABLE TO GET OFF WORK TO TAKE IT TO THEM FOR THEIR SCHEDULE UNTIL JANUARY 18, 2019. MY TRUCK WAS OWNED BY MY MOM AND DAD AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CRASH. WE HAVE CURRENTLY AROUND 58,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND AS YOU CAN TELL VERY LOW MILAGE. MY WIFE MOSTLY DRIVES THIS TRUCK. BOTH ME AND MY WIFE HAVE ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFE DRIVING AND OBEYED SPEED LIMIT. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT RAMEY CHEVROLET RICHLANDS VA AND I TALK TO AN INSPECTOR FROM CHEVROLET BY THE NAME OF TONY AT 1-866-446-6963 EXT. 59115544 AND HE TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE SHOCKS WAS DAMAGED. NOW IF THE SHOCKS ARE DAMAGED THEN WHEN THE TRUCK WAS SHUT DOWN BY THE AIRBAGS MAY HAVE DAMAGED THE SHOCKS, BUT THIS TRUCK WAS NOT IN A CRASH, THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY JUST DRIVING AT A SPEED OF AROUND 35MPH. I AM THANKFUL I WAS NOT INJURED. I HOPE WE CAN WORK TO GET THIS RESLOVED.

I HAVE A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS ON MY VEHICLE BUT EVERY TIME I TRY TO GET THE DEALER TO REPAIR IT I AM TOLD GENERAL MOTORS IS CHALLENGING TO RECALL AND THEY WILL NOT REPAIR IT AT THIS TIME. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THIS RECALL DONE BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT, AND IT WILL BE TOO LATE. I FIND HAVING A RECALL ON A VEHICLE 8 YEARS OLD AND STILL NOT REPAIR IS UNACCEPTABLE. CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME HELP OR ANSWERS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 GMC SIERRA 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN MID JULY OF 2016 FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). A DEALER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET BECAUSE THE NOTICE INDICATED THAT OWNERS WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THE PART BECAME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2015 AND SOON AFTER GOT A LETTER SAYING THAT A AIRBAG RECALL. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. CALLED GM HEADQUARTERS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE SURE THAT THERE WAS NO DANGER AND THAT WE SHOULD GET A SECOND NOTICE WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THAT HASN'T HAPPENED IN ALMOST 4 YEARS. THE WEB SITE SAID TO SEEK HELP FROM YOU IF THE PROBLEM WASN'T FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER. IS THE PROBLEM GOING TO GET FIXED OR IS GMC GOING TO BUY BACK THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. IT'S HARD TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT THINKING SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT COULD GET SEVERELY HURT OR KILLED. CAN YOU TELL ME IF IT WILL EVER GET FIXED?

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS IN 2016 ABOUT THIS RECALL. I'VE CHECKED THE WEBSITE SEVERAL TIMES SINCE BUT THE STATUS IS ALWAYS "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". I CALLED GMC TODAY AND THEY SUBMITTED A REPORT TO THE NHTSA THAT THEY CLAIM SHOWS THAT THE TRUCK IS SAFE AND THE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS DO NOT NEED TO BE REPLACED. THEY WOULD NOT TELL ME WHEN THEY SUBMITTED THE REPORT, BUT THE DEADLINE FROM THE NHTSA WAS 8/17. THIS LOOKS LIKE A DELAY TACTIC BY GMC. IN THE MEANTIME, I HAVE A TRUCK THAT THE NHTSA HAS DEEMED UNSAFE ENOUGH TO ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IMPACTS MY PEACE OF MIND, AS WELL AS ANY RESALE VALUE THE TRUCK MAY HAVE. I UNDERSTAND THAT THESE THINGS TAKE TIME BUT THIS SEEMS EXCESSIVE. CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN THE NHTSA WILL ISSUE A RESPONSE TO GMC REGARDING THE REPORT. BOTTOM LINE, IS THE TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE OR NOT?

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS NOTIFIED IN MAY 2016 OF THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS FOR MY 2011 GMC PICKUP (GM RECALL # 2049151, HTSA # 16V381). I CHECK WITH MY DEALER (EDD ROGERS IN SPARTA, TN) EVERY TIME I TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR A 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE. THE ANSWER IS ALWAYS THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE PARTS YET. I FIND IT INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT THE NHTSA HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET TAKATA TO GET THIS FIX TAKEN CARE OF IN OVER TWO YEARS!! WILL IT TAKE MY WIFE OR I BEING INJURED OR KILLED TO FINALLY HAVE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS? WE HAVE HEARD VIRTUALLY NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL JUST RECENTLY GETTING A CARD FROM TAKATA HOLDINGS, INC. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT IS TAKATA CAN'T TAKE CARE OF THE RECALL THAT GM NEEDS TO FIND OTHER AIRBAGS COMPATIBLE WITH THESE AFFECTED VEHICLES AND HAVE THIS SITUATION FINALIZED ASAP! GM CAN THEN GO AFTER TAKATA FOR REIMBURSEMENT! I WANT....NO....I NEED THIS RECTIFIED ASAP BEFORE ANYONE IN MY FAMILY, INCLUDING ME, GETS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THE INACTION OF THE NHTSA, GM OR TAKATA!

TAKADA INFLATOR HAS BEEN ON RECALL FOR WAY TOO MANY YEARS WHILE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BE INJURED AND OR KILLED, WHILE GM STANDS BY AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING. THEY DIDN'T MIND TAKING MY MONEY. THIS IS A 2011 HOW MANY MORE YEARS WILL IT TAKE? I ASKED FOR A LOANER VECHICLE BUT THAT WAS ALSO DENIED. NOW I DEMAND MY TRUCK FIXED AND A LOANER UNTIL YOU CAN GET THE PARTS.I AM SCARED TO DEATH EVERY TIME I NEED TO UNEXPECTED THE TRUCK, DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU START HELPING YOUR GM CUSTOMERS OUT?

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE AIR BAG, I AM CONCERNED THAT PLASTIC PIECES OF DASHBOARD WILL BECOME DANGEROUS FLYING OBJECTS IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT THAT DEPLOYS THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH GM AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR MONTHS NOW AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS A CONTINUING SAFETY ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY GMC SIERRA OWNERS

Mileage: 40,000

I AM AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WERE TO EVER DEPLOY, FLYING PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD WILL CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY DASH HAS A CRACK IN IT ALREADY AND I BELIEVE IT TO BE A DESIGN FLAW ON GM'S PART.

THE DASHBOARD HAS MAJOR CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AND THE CLUSTER AREAS. WHEN YOU SPEND 45,000 OR MORE ON A VEHICLE YOU EXPECT A QUALITY PRODUCT. I SOLD MY BMW 750 LI AND PURCHASED THIS GMC SIERRA 1500 DENALI 2011. I HAVE VIEWED MULTIPLE VIDEOS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME CONCERNS AND/OR ISSUES AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THIS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS. AMERICA IS BETTER THAN THIS. I KNOW THIS DOES NOT MATTER BUT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER AMERICAN VEHICLE AND HAVE PURCHASED A LOT OF VEHICLES DOMESTIC AND FOREIGN. LET'S DO THE RIGHT THING!

Mileage: 100,000

MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE DASH, STARTING AT THE TOP LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT HAS CRACKED ENTIRELY THROUGH TO THE DASH TRIM PIECE ROUGHLY 3-4 INCHES AWAY. NOT ONLY IS IT A TREMENDOUS EYE-SORE, THAT MOST OF MY PASSENGERS NOTICE AND COMMENT ON... BUT HAS ME EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY. IF THIS VEHICLE WERE TO BE IN A COLLISION AND THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, I AM SURE THAT FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE PROPELLED THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE AS THE AIRBAG FIRED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY STATE IT IS NOT COVERED, AND HAVE QUOTED ME A REPAIR COST OF JUST OVER $1,000. THIS DEFECT IN THE DASH PIECE SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING INCIDENT IN A LOT OF 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS. MY DASH POPS AND CREAKS WHILE DRIVING, AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE INSANE REPLACEMENT COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS REPAIR. GM NEEDS TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THIS SITUATION.

CRACKS ON BOTH THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ONE ON DRIVER'S SIDE IS ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG.

CRACKED DASH IN SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING AROUND AIRBAG. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY.

MY SIERRA HAS TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH, ONE IN THE MIDDLE AND THE OTHER FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT. THIS IS VERY COMMON IN GM TRUCKS FROM 2007-2013, WITH THE CRACK FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT BEING THE MOST COMMON. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE DEDICATED TO THIS DEFECT WITH THOUSANDS OF EXAMPLES. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SENDS PLASTIC SHARDS THROUGHOUT THE CAB.

Mileage: 64,500

MY TRUCK HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE IN PARTICULAR ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS WHICH LEADS ME TO FEEL VERY UNSAFE. IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, WHAT'S TO PREVENT THE DASH FROM SHATTERING AND CUTTING THE AIRBAG RENDERING IT USELESS OR WORSE, THE DASH BECOMING SHRAPNEL?

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THE AIR BAG, THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LARGE NUMBER OF GMC AND CHEVY OWNERS, I AM CONCERNED THAT PLASTIC PIECES OF DASHBOARD WILL BECOME DANGEROUS FLYING OBJECTS IN THE EVENT OF AN IMPACT THAT DEPLOYS THE AIRBAG. I HAVE BEEN TALKING WITH GM AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY.

Mileage: 58,000

Mileage: 75,000

A CRACK HAS APPEARED ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. FAILURE IN THIS AREA SHOULD BE A CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THIS WEAK POINT COULD BE AN AREA OF PROJECTILE.
