GM recall #2049151 (NHTSA #16V381) was issued May 27, 2016, over 4 years ago. The status of the recall has remained "incomplete. Remedy not yet available" for years while I drive around in a vehicle that the NHTSA has deemed unsafe, placing me and my family in danger. The us government, through must order GM to comply with repairs/replacement of these affected vehicles immediately and ensure compliance by significant and on-going fines for each vehicle not remediated until compliance.

I received a recall announcement in the mail a few years ago and after asking the dealer several times, I kept receiving the answer that the fix was not available yet. I finally researched the issue I learned that Chevrolet is saying they do not have to fix it. I think they are in court about it. What do I do?

Last year the air bag light went on my 2011 Silverado with 80,000 miles. I had it in a GM body shop for unrelated repair and asked them to diagnose it. They connected their reader and could not find a the problem and directed me to the dealer. I investigated further last week and found both front disintegrated from corrosion. I contacted the dealership who could find no record of such a problem, they referred me to GM with the same result. This is an low mileage vehicle in very good condition and I find this type of early failure of 2 identical parts unreasonable.

Already has a recall that has been lasting for 9 years! I believe that Chevrolet is waiting for more of these to no longer being used, so they won't have to fix so many.
