I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR OIL CHANGES AT RELIABLE CHEVOLET AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NO PART TO REPLACE. I HAVE LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER IN A WEB SITE NAMED WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST. MY 2010 CHEVOLET AVALANCE IS ON THE LIST. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED SINCE THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. I ALSO HAVE A TIRE SYMBOL APPEAR ON MY DRIVER'S SCREEN. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT NOTHING CAN BEEN DIAGNOSED UNTIL THE SYMBOL REMAINS PERMANENT.

DRIVER AND PASSENGER EXTERIOR DOOR LATCH DID NOT LATCH WHEN DOOR WAS CLOSED. WHILE THE DRIVER WAS TURNING RIGHT ON A VILLAGE STREET, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS OPENED UNEXPECTEDLY. WHILE IN MOTION AROUND THE TURN THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DURING THE ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE CAR HIT A TREE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. I SUSPECT THE STUCK LATCH WAS DUE TO WATER AND/OR DIRT GETTING IN THE LATCH HINGE.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE CALLED DEALERSHIP AND GM NUMEROUS TIMES AND KEEP BEING TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE DUE TO FEAR OF DRIVING UNSAFE VEHICLE. THIS IS A 2008 MODEL WITH ONLY APPROX. 15,000 MILES. I WANT VEHICLE REPAIRED BECAUSE I WANT TO USE IT MORE AND WANT TO HAVE A SENSE OF SAFETY WHEN DOING SO.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE WITH NO REMEDY TO DATE. WHILE GM CONSIDERS THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE, THE SAFETY RISK DESCRIPTION STATES: "THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES". THIS DOES NOT SOUND SAFE TO ME, ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN SUGAR LAND, TX WHERE THERE ARE LONG PERIODS OF HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY WHICH EFFECTS THE AIRBAG DEGRADATION. CAN ANYONE HELP FINALIZE THE SITUATION AND GET THIS RECALL TAKEN CARE OF? THANK YOU! [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB
