I HAVE A 2011 2500HD WITH THE WELL KNOWN CRACK AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. IF I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT PART OF THE FACT COULD BECOME PROJECTILES AND HURT SOMEONE IN THE THE VEHICLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" NHTSA RECALL NUMBER-16V381 I'M MERELY CONCERNED THAT'S ITS BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE I RECEIVED THE TAKATA RECALL LETTER, AND THAT GM'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN, "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." FROM WHAT I'VE GATHERED FROM THE RECALL, VEHICLES IN HOT, HUMID CLIMATES ARE MORE AT RISK. THIS ALSO CONCERNS ME, BECUASE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN 2011 WHILE LIVING IN HAWAII. I LIVED THERE FOR TWO YEARS, MOVED BACK TO TEXAS FOR A YEAR, THEN MOVED BACK TO HAWAII FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS, AND THEN BACK TO TEXAS, SHIPPING MY TRUCK BACK AND FORTH THROUGH THOSE MOVES. HAWAII IS EXTREMELY HUMID, AND MORE OVEN THAN NOT, HOT. AND TEXAS IS EXTREMELY HOT AND CAN GET HUMID. I'M WORRIED THAT MY TRUCK MIGHT BE MORE AT RISK.

THE DASH IS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE ABOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE SPEEDOMETER. THIS POSES A DANGER TO ALL OCCUPANTS IF A CRASH WERE TO HAPPEN AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WERE TO GO OFF. THIS WOULD SEND SHARDS OF BROKEN PLASTIC DASHBOARD EVERYWHERE. UNSAFE TO SAY THE LEAST.

TAKATA RECALL: THE TRADE IN VALUE ON MY METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED. IT COST ME NEARLY $5000 IN ACTUAL VALUE, AS A DEALER CANNOT RESELL A TRADED IN VEHICLE WITH AN ACTIVE RECALL AND MUST SEND IT TO BE AUCTIONED. SO I HAVE SUFFERED BOTH SEVERE EMOTIONAL DISTRESS FROM CONSTANTLY BEING IN FEAR THE AIRBAG IS GOING TO RANDOMLY BLOW MY NUTS OFF, AND CRIPPLING UNDUE MONETARY HARDSHIP BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF TAKATA OR GM TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL. WHICHT HAS BEEN ACTIVE FOR 5 [XXX] YEARS I MIGHT ADD. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY BECAUSE OF MY ANXIETY TO RISK DEATH BY AIRBAG DECAPITATION!! PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BATTERY DIED DUE TO HEADLIGHTS COMING ON WHILE CAR WAS PARKED. LIGHTS CAN NOT BE SHUT OFF FROM SWITCH, OPENING THE HOOD I DETECTED ELECTRICAL SMELL. I REMOVED THE FUSE BOX COVER AND NOTICED WATER COLLECTING AND STAINS. I PULLED SEVERAL FUSES AND FOUND THREE THAT MELTED. ALL THIS HAPPENED AFTER A ICE STORM FOLLOWED BY A WARMING UP AND MELTING TREND THE WATER COLLECTED ON THE FENDER BRACE AND LEAKED INTO UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK. I REPLACED THE FUSE BLOCK AND ALL IS OK. THOUGH FUSES WERE MELTED APART THEY STILL MADE CONTACT AND EASILY COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE. I DRILLED HOLES INTO FENDER BRACES AND REDIRECTED THE WATER.

MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE TOP CONTROL ARM BROKE WHEN I HIT A POLE ON THE REAR OF MY TRUCK. IT SNAPPED OFF AT THE BALL. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND SIDE SWIPED A POLE AT ABOUT 5 MPH. SHOULD NOT HAVE SNAPPED A PART IN THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK! THERE IS A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CORROSION UNDER MY TRUCK. EVEN BEHIND THE REAR TAIL LIGHT WHICH SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN EXPOSED, THERE'S RUST. THIS TRUCK HAS MORE RUST THAT TRUCKS THAT ARE 30 YEARS OLD.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AT DIFFERENT TIMES. IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHAT CAUSED THE FIRST TWO CRACKS, BUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO WORRIES ME THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IT MAY AFFECT THE AIRBAGS OR EVEN PROJECT PIECES OF THE DASH TOWARDS ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE.
