"TAKATA RECALL" CHECKED TODAY WITH WILSON COUNTY MOTORS IN LEBANON, TN AND THEY STILL HAVE NO REMEDY FOR REPLACING AIRBAGS FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?

I'VE RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND HAVE GONE IN TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER AS DIRECTED. LAST VISIT 11/03/2017. THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND CAN'T HELP IN ANY WAY. GM TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY AND BLAMES TAKATA. NOW WITH TAKATA'S BANKRUPTCY THE CONSUMER IS SCREWED!

"TAKATA RECALL" RECALL 49152. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT , SEVERAL TIMES, W/ GMC ABOUT THE RECALL SINCE RECEIVING THE LETTER IN EARLY 2016. WHEREAS WE HAVE YET TO EXPERIENCE ANY ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK, IT IS APPROACHING 10 YEARS OLD AND WE ARE AFRAID IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. WE DONT WANT TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF RUPTURE. TODAY WE WERE TOLD THAT A DECISION IS TO BE MADE BY THE END OF DEC. 2017 THAT MAY RELIEVE GMC OF THIS BURDEN ALTOGETHER WHICH WE FIND COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY. WE WOULD LIKE THIS REPLACED AS IT IS THE RIGHT AND SAFE THING TO DO & AT GMC'S EXPENSE. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO BESIDES SALE/TRADE IT IN, ONLY TO PASS THE PROBLEM ON TO SOMEONE ELSE? THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE RECALL AND SAFETY CONCERNS IN JULY 2016 AND TO DATE (APRIL 2017) THERE IS STILL NO PART REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE. WHY NOT? ARE PASSENGERS IN MY TRUCK IN DANGER?

"GMC DASH RECALL" MY 2008 GMC SIERRA DASH IS CRACKING AND I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON GOOGLE AND IT LOOKS LIKE THOUSANDS OF OTHERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ME. THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SUCH A WAY THAT AT A CERTAIN ANGLE I CAN SEE WIRES EXPOSED FROM THE AIRBAG COVER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A RECALL TO FIX THE CRACKED DASH.

LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION WHILE DRIVING. ENGINE BURNED 5 QUARTS OF OIL IN UNDER 3000 MILES. 105K MILES ON 5.3 LITER V8. DEALER SAID TYPICAL FOR THIS ENGINE TO HAVE CARBON BUILDUP AND NEEDS NEW PISTON RINGS AND PISTONS. ALSO DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED AND WINDOW SWITCHES.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW THIS TYPE AIR BAG IS INSTALLED IN MYYEAR AND MODEL TRUCK HVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT THE MORE I HEAR ABOUT VEHICLES INVOLVED IN CRASHES AND THE INJURYS THAT HAVE ACCERD WORRYS ME WHY HAS GMC NOT HAD ARECALL ON THEM.

A LIGHT FLICKERS ON OCCASION THAT LOOKS LIKE A AIRBAG WARNING. IT DOES NOT STAY ON LONG OR OFTEN.

THIS VEHICLE WAS ACQUIRED IN MARCH, 2016 WITH AN INTACT DASHBOARD, 142,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. OVER THE LAST 9 MONTHS MULTIPLE, PENETRATING CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED IN THE TOP OF THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD DUE TO CAUSE(S) UNKNOWN. THIS HAS GREATLY DIMINISHED THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD TO THE POINT THAT AT LEAST ONE TOP PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD IS LOOSE DUE TO THE CRACKS. TWO CRACKS ARE IN THE CENTER OF THE DASHBOARD TOP AND ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. CURRENT MILES ON THE ODOMETER ARE 146,000. IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DURING A CRASH, THE LIKELIHOOD IS VERY HIGH THAT PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD COULD FRACTURE, BECOME AIRBORNE, AND RESULT IN INJURY TO OCCUPANT(S) OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO EITHER THE NORMAL DEPLOYMENT VELOCITY OF THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG, OR WORSE YET IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR FAILS TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED AND ACTIVATES WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE. THIS VEHICLE IS SUBJECT TO RECALL NHSTA #16V381, ISSUED 5/27/2016 FOR DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS. FURTHER, THE VEHICLE HAS SPENT ITS ENTIRE OPERATING LIFE IN THE "ZONE A" HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY REGION (FLORIDA). IN AND OF ITSELF, THE CRACKING DASHBOARD PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD DURING A CRASH WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. HOWEVER, COMBINED WITH CONDITIONS RECORDED IN RECALL 16V381, I MAINTAIN THIS COMBINED HAZARD PRESENTS AN UNACCEPTABLE LIFE SAFETY RISK. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE NHTSA IMMEDIATELY INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE CAUSE OF THE NOTED DASHBOARD CRACKS ON BOTH GM AND GMC GMT900 TRUCK PRODUCTS, AND FURTHER RECOMMEND THAT A RECALL ACTION BE SUGGESTED TO GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION ON GMT900 VEHICLES REGISTERED IN "ZONE A" TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. AS OF THIS DATE GM HAS NOT COMPLETED THE RECALL ACTION UNDER NHSTA #16V381 ON MY VEHICLE, THEREFORE THE ACCENTUATED HAZARD REMAINS UNABATED.

THE DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACKED ON THE PORTION COVERING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I AM WORRIED THAT IF INFLATED, THE PLASTIC SHARDS WILL IMPALE ANY PASSENGER. ALSO THE DASHBOARD CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT IS BEGINNING TO CAVE IT.

AIR BAG LIGHT ON. ASKED DEALER ABOUT IT.
