Takata recall- since March 2017, my warning light system has intermittently displayed a "service airbag" message. There is an existing recall associated with my VIN, however since may, 2016 the recall status remains as "recall incomplete, remedy not yet available". I believe this to be an obvious safety concern.

  • 8,000 miles
Broken plastic dash board( top plastic) leaving sharp jagged edges around airbag panel on passengers side where airbag deploys. Dash cracks in other multiple locations above instrument cluster with sharp plastic broken pieces on drivers side near instrument cluster. Vehicle is garage kept and I use a windshield shade in the sun. Vehicle had 8000 miles on it. New breaks continue to develop on dash board from thermal expansion and material structural failure of the dash board top plastic. Also has dis-coloration on the airbag panel plastic panel on the passenger side dash board. Dash board airbag panel looks to be deteriorating and may possibly fragment in an airbag deployment. I have concerns with facial lacerations and contusions if a bag deploys and this panel along with other sharp broken dash board plastic fragments become projectiles for both the driver and passenger on the upper torso, face, arms and potential blindness from an eye injury from sharp dashboard plastic fragmentation intrusion. Newest cracks on the drivers side were witness on a warm day recently when I entered the car I heard a crack as I shut the drivers door. The airbag I noticed in September of 2015 in the left corner of the airbag cover, the forward most corner of the dash that is around the passenger airbag. The passenger air bag plastic panel recently shows sign of white discoloration streaks through the plastic and will not cleanup. Plastic look as if it is deteriorating and changing color. I'm very concerned with this panel as this deploys with airbag on the passengers side. Also concerned that the driver airbag cover on the steering wheel looks to be made of the same material and that fragmentation may occur here as well in a airbag deployment.

I have a concern about the dash board around the passenger air bag.. the dash is cracking around the plastic cover and I know of 2 other trucks that have done the same thing" I have read different articles about people who have had the same issues and the dealer tells them it's too bad and they will not warrant the repairs. This to me is a very very bad safety matter just because if you are in a bad wreck and the air bag does deploy there is a good chance the dash will pop the bag if it doesn't blow the dash board up and send plastic projectiles flying all over the place possibly blinding or killing you from the scrapnal plastic pieces. Has anyone else complained about the dash boards being defective"

2009 Chevrolet Silverado. Consumer writes in regards to corroded and faulty SDM module. Consumer has another vehicle correspondence in artemis. The consumer stated there was water leaking into driver's floorboard area and underneath the padding. The brake cable grommets in the firewall, and sheet metal body seams that were not properly sealed or not sealed at all. The vehicle was repaired. The consumer stated the vehicle was not included the recall due to the vehicle not being driven in northeastern states with snow. The consumer believes his vehicle should be included in the recall since it exhibited the same failure.
