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. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.
