In owners' own words
Takata recall. My 2011 vehicle has been in the very high humidity of central florida its entire life. Nhtsa and gm said there would be a decision by august 2017. I called my Chevrolet dealer today (10/19/2017) and was told there is no recall and a remedy is not yet available. I feel very vulnerable continuing to operate this vehicle in a very hot and humid environment. When are we going to get a decision and remedy? Air bags · reported at 106,000 miles
Takata recall - recall was issued may 27, 2016 for passenger side airbag - 16v381. Gm has no information when parts will be available for the repair and I was told they are waiting for the nhtsa to approve the replacement procedure and parts. When will the parts be available? I also have a 2011 toyota corolla with the same issue and no answers. It has been 6 months and we have no answers from nhtsa! Please act. Air bags
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. Air bags
