Dashboard is cracked in several places from driver side to passenger side. It has cracked all around the passenger side airbag. In the event of an accident I'm very concerned the dash will interfere with the airbag deployment. I am also concerned it will become like pieces of flying shrapnel. The dash is defective and should have a recall.
Takata recall - I object to GM filing a petition for inconsequentiality. GM's own website states"the propellant in some types of takata airbag inflators can degrade over time, especially after long term exposure in hot and humid regions. If the propellant degrades to a certain level, the inflators may rupture during deployment, causing serious or fatal injuries." As the vehicle has been located in southeast Florida since I purchased it new, it has been subject to both heat and humidity nearly continually since original purchase. GM and takata should not be able to avoid the responsibility to restore my vehicle to a safe condition.

I have contacted 5 dealerships in my area inquiring about replacing the airbag. Only 1 responded to my inquiry, that one informed me that they have no idea when they will be able to replace the airbag.

Manufacturer recall number2049151 NHTSA recall number16V381 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available. The recall status has been showing as remedy not yet available since May 27,2016. We have called dealerships numerous times only to be told that the remedy is still not available just like the website states even though it has been well over 2 years. Meanwhile they recommend that nobody sits in the front passenger seat until the issue is corrected. We have a Suburban because we need the space to fit all of our family, which includes using the front passenger seat, and 2 years without being able to use our car to it's full capacity is unheard of.
Takata recall it's been over 2 years now since I first received the recall notice on my airbags. I contacted a local Chevrolet dealer today and was told they are still waiting on parts. Now my concern is when will this recall be fulfilled" when something tragic happens to me or someone in my family? will the recall never be fulfilled and my vehicle eventually "dies" before the recall can be addressed" this vehicle costs a lot of money and time is steadily going by for a big company like this not be able to get parts.
Takata recall: I have been in contact with GM about the recall since 10/20/16 and nothing has been done about replacing the inflators until now.

Takata recall- I have now called my local GM Chevy dealer dealer monthly since the takata recall has come out and they have refused to replace the airbags. They site that they do not have any to replace them with. My response has been, I have 4 children that I drive daily and god forbid but if I were to get in an accident and the airbags deployed and we found out then that they were defective. It may be too late and the injuries sustained be life threatening. There is no reason we need should have to wait till something bad happens when this is a simple fix. I need my airbags replaced asap and need to know how to make this happen. I even received a letter in the mail that states contact your local dealership and schedule your free repair. This is absolutely asinine that my airbags have not been fixed within the last 18months since the recall. I need something done now.

My dash cracked on my Suburban just like my Tahoe did and the airbag light goes off. I know there's a recall but the cracked dash triggered the warning light. Thousands and thousands of Chevy owners have cracked dashes just like mine.
