2011 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

TAKATA RECALL: AVAILABLE ONLINE INFORMATION TELLS ME THAT AS THE AIRBAGS AGE, THEY BECOME MORE SENSITIVE TO FAILURE. ALSO, FLORIDA SEEMS TO HAVE A HIGHER FAILURE RATE THAN MOST STATES DUE TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES IN THE MAIL TELLING ME TO GET REPAIRS, BUT ALL GM DEALERSHIPS CONTACTED HAVE INFORMED ME THAT GM IS NOT PROVIDING PARTS REPLACEMENTS.I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CONDITION AND FEEL I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A PROMPT REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL- I CONTACTED THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP TO MY HOUSE AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT CHEVROLET HAS NOT PROVIDED THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG INFLATOR TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THIS RECALL IS DATED MAY 27, 2016, A YEAR AND A HALF LATER THEY HAVEN'T PROVIDED THE PARTS TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENTS OR INJURIES YET, BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY THAT RIDES IN THE VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR.

TAKATA RECALL. A RECALL WAS PUT IN PLACE MAY 2016. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2017 AND WE HAVE YET TO HAVE AIRBAGS ADDRESSED OR FIXED. WE ARE A ONE VEHICLE FAMILY AND MUST HAVE OUR VEHICLE. GM SAYS THEY ARE SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT THE SAME AIRBAGS WERE IN MY GRANDMOTHER'S HONDA CRV AND THEY WERE DEEMED NOT SAFE AND THEY PROVIDED HER WITH A RENTAL VEHICLE WHILE THEY REPLACED HER AIRBAGS. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY IN MY VEHICLE PENDING GM'S APPEAL TO THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT WAS LOCATED WAS FRACTURED IN TWO SEPARATE LOCATIONS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

I HAVE 3 CRACKS IN THE DASH OF MY SUBURBAN. 1 IS IN THE FAR LEFT, FRONT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, AND THE OTHER 2 ARE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL, ABOUT 8 INCHES APART. MY CONCERN, ASIDE FROM PAYING SO MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND HAVING THE DASH CRACK FOR NO REASON, IS THAT THE AIRBAG BEING DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MAY SEND PLASTIC PIECES FLYING AT THE PASSENGERS FACE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCTION OF THESE DASHES, AS I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE STATE THE SAME ISSUE, IN THE SAME SPOTS. I ENCOURAGE GENERAL MOTORS TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS PART, AS IT COULD POSE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED DURING THE PERIOD THE DASH CRACKED. *TR
