Takata air bag recall, our car is on their list but they are not releasing the money to replace the air bag at this time, despite the danger it poses my family
I just bought my used 2011 Chevy Tahoe. After I drove it home I noticed that the dashboard under the windshield keeps jumping bad due to 2 cracks. My concern is that it may cause the airbag to deploy. The dearship says I bought it as-is and I feel it is a safety issue that should have been repaired before sale.
Cracks on dashboard one above speedometer and the other on left side of passenger airbag. I am afraid if I'm in an accident that airbag won't deploy or pieces will shatter and fly into passenger.

Takata recall. When I took it to the dealer they said the company that made the airbag filed for bankruptcy. I ask about replacing the airbag and she said they don't have any they would have to order more and they would let me know when more came in. That is the same thing they told me two years ago. I now have a airbag warning light and took it in to the dealer. She told me the same thing all over again.
GM dealer states they are unable to replace the defective air bag in my vehicle. Apparently, GM has filed a request with NHTSA to extend date recalls are to start. What is NHTSA's position, specifically, is GM exempt or allowed to ealay replacement action?

My dashboard is cracked in two locations. The speaker in the dashboard has been serviced once by the dealership and is the only time the dashboard has been touched. Nothing has been done on my part to jeopardize the integrity of the dashboard. An internet search shows that this is a common problem in Tahoe's. I have received no reasonable explanation for the damage along with no reasonable fix ($1,500!!!!). I have had my vehicle serviced religiously at the dealership and at no point was I made aware that this was or could become an issue. Now they tell me to file an insurance claim!"!" date this occurred is unknown and has been estimated to best of my recollection.
