TAKATA RECALL. (THIS NOT AN ACCIDENT REPORT.) ON 2/20/17 I CALLED A LOCAL AUTHORIZED CHEV DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL ON MY TRUCK FOR AN AIRBAG DEFECT. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, 2/20/29 ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PARTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WHEN I WENT TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE FOR THE UPCOMING RENEWAL PERIOD MARYLAND DMV WROTE "PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL MANUFACTURERS AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP TO RESOLVE AT NO COST." SO, I AM PRETTY CONFUSED AS WHAT TO DO. IT HAD BEEN EXACTLY 2 YEARS SINCE MY FIRST NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I AM STILL BEING GIVEN THE SAME ANSWER WHILE I AM ALSO STILL BEING TOLD TO CONTACT A DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS REPAIRED. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? AM I JUST BEING GIVEN THE RUNAROUND? PLEASE ADVISE AS I DO NOT WANT TO ENDANGER MY FAMILY OR ANYONE ELSE SHOULD THIS EXPLODE UNEXPECTEDLY. THANK YOU.

MY DEALER WORKED ON MY AC COMPONENTS IN 2015 (NOT SURE OF THE EXACT DATE) TO REPLACE THE AC CONTROLLER COMPONENTS, SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR MY DASH CRACKED WHILE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY ABOUT TO CRANK THE VEHICLE. ON THE DRIVER SIDE OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS IT HAS CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SIZE AND NOW IS CRACKED COMPLETELY CAUSING THE DASH TO BE TWO SEPARATE PIECES. SAFETY ISSUES AND CONCERNS ARE IF A CRASH OCCURS WILL THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE BE SAFE OF SHARP FLYING DEBRIS WITHIN THE CAB. MY CONCERN IS NOT ONLY FOR MYSELF BUT MY PASSENGERS. I HAVE INQUIRED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT REPLACING THE PART BUT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME IT INITIALLY CRACKED. MILEAGE OF INITIAL CRACK WAS APPROX 75,000.

I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHEN IT STARTED, BUT IT WAS FINE THIS SUMMER (I ESTIMATED 11/10/18 BELOW).

THE CRACKS ARE CONTINUING TO GET LARGER AND THE DASHBOARD HAS STATED TO VIBRATE AND RATTLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A SAFETY HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT MAY EVENTUALLY CRACK ENOUGH THAT BIG PIECES WILL POP LOOSE AND CHUNKS OF MY DASH WILL BE GONE. ABS GLUE IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS TO JOIN THE SEAMS TOGETHER TO STOP THE DASH FROM SHAKING AND MAKING TONS OF NOISE. THE SHAKING LIKELY CAUSED THE CRACKS TO GROW MORE ALSO PRIOR TO ME FINALLY THROUGH LOTS OF TRIAL AND ERROR SUCCESSFULLY GLUING IT. HOPEFULLY IT WILL KEEP THE CURRENT CRACK FROM GROWING. BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL. AND NEW ONES WILL LIKELY APPEAR IF THE OLD ONES DO NOT SPREAD. ALSO, THE AIR VENT COVER HAS BROKEN IN A LONG CRACK, AND EVEN WORSE MOST OF THE TABS THAT HOLD IT DOWN HAVE BROKEN OFF. THUS, IT STICKS UP LOOKING UGLY AND RATTLES. THIS TOO IS LIKELY TO BREAK UP MORE FROM ALL THE RATTLING.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
WE WERE DRIVING DOWN I20 WHEN WE WERE COMING OFF THE OFF RAMP AND THE STABILIZATION LIGHT CAME ON AND WE GOT TO THE STOP SIGN TO TURN RIGHT AND AS WERE TAKE OFF IT SHIFTED REALLY BAD OUT INTO 2ND IT JERKED REALLY BAD AND WE HAD NO POWER WE MADE IT HOME AND NOW IT TURNS OVER BUT WILL NOT START. 2007 AVALANCE IT HAS 50,000 MILES. I HAVE BEEN TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE ON CAR GURUS AND THERE ARE THOUSAND ON THAT SIGHT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WERE HAVING. AND THE SAD THING IS WE DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO HAVE OUR TRUCK TOWED INTO TOWN AND GET IT FIXED. BECASUE THEY TELLS US THAT THEY HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I FEEL LIKE GM SHOULD DO A RECALL OR PEOPLE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO A GROUP LAWSUIT TOWARD GM FOR SUCH A BIG DEAL LIKE THIS IS. AND ALSO OUR DASHES ARE ALL CRACKED DOWN THE MIDDLE. WHICH ON THAT SIGHT THERE ARE ALOT HAVING SAME ISSUE.
