2011 Chevrolet Suburban 1500

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.

FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS MY 2011 SUBURBAN WILL RANDOMLY NOT WANT TO SHIFT FROM PARK INTO DRIVE. THE GEAR SHIFTER ACTS LIKE IT IS STUCK. I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL ENGAGE. OVER THE WEEKEND MY HUSBAND HAD MY CAR KEYS IN HIS POCKET, OUR 4 YEAR OLD SON CLIMBED INTO THE DRIVERS SEAT AND STARTED TO HOP OVER THE CENTER CONSOLE TO GET TO PASSENGER SIDE. MY HUSBAND WAS GETTING IN IMMEDIATELY AFTER HIM TO SIT IN DRIVERS SEAT. WHEN MY SON HOPPED OVER, HE ACCIDENTLY GRABBED THE GEAR SHIFTER AND MY CAR ROLLED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY INTO OUR CAMPER. SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT ON, NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION, MY HUSBAND'S ATTEMPTS TO STOP IT FAILED. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO TURN INTO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY BUT WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFTER BEING STUCK AND NOW THIS. I FOUND A RECALL FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM ON 2013 MODELS AND AM CURIOUS IF IT SHOULD EXTEND TO 2011 AS WELL.

FRONT DASH BOARD IS STRUCTURALLY CRACKED WITHOUT INCIDENT, CRACKED AROUND FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG , IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT, DASH MATERIAL MAY IN FACT CREATE SHRAPNEL OR OTHER SHARP OBJECT INFLICTING INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE PASSENGERS. GM HAS FAILED TO FORMALLY RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM. ALSO NOTEWORTHY IS GM DEALER ALREADY REPLACED COMPLETE DASHBOARD AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000, AND 14 MONTH LATER CRACKED AGAIN. VEHIICLE LOCATED IN ARIZONA, GARAGED PARKED AND 65,000 MILES ON ODOMETER
