Takata recall. Dealer does not have a fix for my vehicle. Nothing has happened to cause the bags to inflate yet, gratefully. Just concerned that the vehicle is not fixed and from what i read, there is not a fix on the horizon. I find this unsettling. Is there a time line for this fix? Do i have cause for alarm after all this time? I have read that the propellant can degrade over time and hot weather. I live in a…

Takata recall: i received a notice from tk holdings in 2016 about this recall. I've checked the website several times since but the status is always "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available". I called gmc today and they submitted a report to the nhtsa that they claim shows that the truck is safe and the airbags/inflators do not need to be replaced. They would not tell me when they submitted the report, but the…

On november 29, 2018 at around 12:00pm, i was driving down the road on route 460 west toward grundy, virginia, the roads was clear, and the weather was clear, at a speed about 35mph and the ceiling airbags deployed causing the seatbelts to lock up, and shut the truck down to a stop in the middle of the road. The air bags made a loud noise, that a neighboring business heard them deploy. I was not injured only scared…

I have a recall for the airbags on my vehicle but every time i try to get the dealer to repair it i am told general motors is challenging to recall and they will not repair it at this time. I would like to know what i can do to get this recall done before some one gets hurt, and it will be too late. I find having a recall on a vehicle 8 years old and still not repair is unacceptable. Can someone give me some help or…

Takata recall. It has been 15 months since i was issued a recall notice concerning my passenger airbag. Gm has still not made any attempt to replace it under their recall. My vehicle is only getting older and causing the inflator in question to be further stressed from the heat and humidity of the northeast texas. I no longer feel safe having a passenger in my vehicle.

Takata recall. My gmc pickup received a recall on the takata airbag in 2016. As of today, gmc says they don't have a fix for it and don't know when they will. This is not a satisfactory answer. If problems arise from these airbags, i will be contacting a lawyer and gmc will have a lawsuit. I believe the airbags should be replaced. This is a big safety issue!
