TAKATA RECALL. GM SAYS ON NHTSA WEB SITE THAT THEY CONSIDER MY TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE ALL THEY DID WAS TURN THE AIR BAG OFF. WHICH MAKES A KEY SAFETY COMPONENT INOPERABLE THIS IS NOT EXCEPTABLE. AND THEY STILL CAN'T REPLACE THE INFLAITER, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THIS IS ALSO UNEXCEPTABLE. MY QUESTION IS - IS THIS AN EXCEPTABLE REMEDY EVEN IF TEMPORARY TO THE NHTSA. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM HAS REPLACED ONE POTENTIAL TRAGEDY WITH ANOTHER. I AM CONSIDERING CONTACTING A LAWYER. MY VEHICLE IS NOT ALWAYS STATIONARY

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DASHBOARD HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, AND MY VEHICLE STAYS IN A GARAGE WITH THE WINDOWS CRACKED TO PREVENT OVERHEATING. I HAVE HAD THESE CRACKS SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND GM WILL NOT REPLACE IT. IF I WANT IT FIXED I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS WITH THE DASH TURNING TO SHRAPNEL IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER THE TAKATA RECALL, AS WELL. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NO CONCERNS WITH THIS ISSUE. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY CAN FIX MY AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL- DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES SURROUNDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. (TRUCK NOW HAS ~109,000) ASIDE FROM THE DASH CRACKING ON A FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE AND VERY WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED VEHICLE, THE SAFETY FEARS STEM FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF PIECES OF DASH FLYING APART AND STRIKING PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAGS ARE EVER TO DEPLOY. OR IN A SUDDEN STOP, ETC... I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CAN UPLOAD PHOTOS IF NECESSARY.
