Nothing has happened but I don't want to get to that point. When is this takata airbag recall going to be resolved? it has been over 3 years since it was put out. I would like some answers. If I wait for an incident to occur, it will be too late. My wife sits at that passenger seat and we live in Georgia where it is very hot and humid. All of these conditions suggests a high probability that an incident may occur. Please reach and assure your customers that a fix is in the works and not ghost the population that owns and operates these vehicles everyday. Thank you.

My car is one of the many vehicles that are being driven on a daily basis risking the life of my family because whoever is in charge of this recall has not done enough to fix the problem regarding this flawed airbags that make us play russian roulette with with our life's everyday that we have to drive our cars to go to work or pick up our kids from school. We have been waiting for a repair since we bought our car on May 2017. Buying american does not sound like a viable option anymore. So far we have driven this death trap for about 26000 miles. Every morning both of us as drivers pray that that day won't be the day the air bags inflate if we get in a fender bender

'takata recall' received an important safety recall(GM recall 49151) in July 2016 since then I call every year to check on the status of the recall and they always tell me there is no need to take action now. It has been over 3 years now since this defect has not been available to remedy my vehicle. I believe that this time frame has been long enough to make my vehicle safe again, so my question is how many more years do I have to wait and is my truly vehicle safe?

Received a safety recall from Chevrolet in June 2016 concerning defective takata airbag inflators. The recall stated I would be notified when parts are available to remedy the problem. It is now August 2019 and no one has contacted me about the recall. I am concerned about the safety of my family members.

We have tried to have the takata airbags replaced but so far no luck, we bought vehicle about 2 years ago, and it does not feel safe driving it like that. No peace of mind. Also called the dealer, we got the same answer.

I am the original owner of a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe. The dash is cracked next to the passage side air bag and by the instrument cluster on the driver side. I am concerned if the air bag deploys on the passenger side the dash will exploded and send shrapnel at the passenger.

I have two cracks in the dashboard. One is on the passenger side right near the airbag and one in one the drivers side. I have read many complainants about this issue and it puzzles me why Chevy would not do a recall. My 2011 is very well taken care of so it is not neglect on my part.

Dash is cracked in tow seperate areas. One above the steering wheel, and one above the passenger side air bag. This causes a major safety concern, in that if I was in an accident and the air bags deployed, flying debris could harm myself and my children. This cracks happened for no apparent reason, other than being cheaply made and installed. The vehicle was stationary and not touched when these cracks occurred.
