AIR BAGS
TAKARA RECALL. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM GM TWO YEARS AGO IDENTIFYING MY VEHICLE AS AFFECTED BY THE AIRBAG RECALL AND WAS ALSO INFORMED I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. I HAVE CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SINCE RECEIVING THE NOTICE AND I AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN, IF EVER, GM PLANS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLES AIRBAGS. I FEEL THAT GM IS TAKING IT'S TIME IN HOPE THAT AFFECTED VEHICLES AGE OUT AND ARE NO LONGER ON THE ROAD. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS OF HAVING MY VEHICLE REPAIRED BY GM?

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SUSPENSION
EXCESSIVE RUSTING OF THE FRAME, BRAKE LINES, TRANSMISSION LINES, AND FUEL LINES. THE BRAKE, TRANSMISSION AND FUEL LINES RUSTED COMPLETELY OUT AND REQUIRED A FULL REPLACEMENT. THE FRAME HAS EXTENSIVE RUST AND HAS DETERIORATED WELL BEYOND THE FRAME OF MY 2003 CAMARO Z28 WHICH IS 9 YEARS OLDER! THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 80K AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED, SO THERE IS NO EXPLANATION FOR THE AMOUNT AND LEVEL OF RUST, EXCEPT THAT THERE WERE INFERIOR METALS AND MANUFACTURING MATERIALS USED IN ITS CONSTRUCTION.

DASHBOARD CRACKS. ONE CRACK IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD AND IS GETTING WORSE AS TIME GOES ON. IT IS MOVING TOWARDS THE TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE SECOND CRACK IS AT THE TOP CORNER OF THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD. THESE CRACKS ARE WELL DOCUMENTED ONLINE WITH PICTURES AND TESTIMONIALS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT AND VERY CONCERNING BEING ON THE CORNER OF AN AIRBAG. THIS COULD BE A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. I NOTICED THE CRACKS ONE MORNING WHEN I GOT IN MY CAR. SEEMS LIKE THEY HAPPENED AT THE SAME TIME. AS IS DOCUMENTED BY OTHER OWNERS OF GM PRODUCTS, THE CENTER SPEAKER PUTS WEIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE DASH AND MOVED UP AND DOWN WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR UNEVEN STREETS. IT NEVER SEEMED SECURE, AS IN WHAT'S SUPPORTING IT UNDER THE DASH. MY GUESS IS THIS IS CAUSING A LOT OF THEIR CRACKED DASHES. NOW THE DASH VIBRATES ON UNEVEN PAVEMENT AND MAKES A LOT OF NOISE.

1-TAKATA RECALL 2- REAR DIFFERENTIAL- I HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL AT 153,000 MILES. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEM REPORTED ON DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS. IT COST ME OVER $3,000. IT HAD MANY BROKEN PARTS INSIDE OF IT. IT COULD HAVE LOCKED UP THE REAR WHEELS AND CAUSED A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. THANK YOU
