I'M A OWNER OF A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AND I HAVE BEEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. MY DASHBOARD HAS TWO LARGE CRACKS AND THE ONE I'M MOST CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE ONE THERE THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD TO LEAD TO A CATASTROPHIC INJURY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

TAKATA RECALL -- MY DASH CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A VERY LONG SPLIT ACROSS IT DUE THE DEFECT WITH THE AIRBAG. THE SPLIT MATERIALIZED VERY QUICKLY. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY IN THE YARD. THUS FAR I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CONTACT REGARDING A SOLUTION TO GET REPAIR IT. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

JAN 26, 2015, 91,750 MILEAGE. SUDDEN SUSPENSION STABILIZER LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND RUNNING ROUGH. DEALER SAID BRAKE SWITCH AND REPLACED. POSSIBLE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE ALSO RULED OUT. FEB. 15, 2015, 92,413 MILEAGE. SAME PROBLEM NOW DIAGNOSED AS #4 LIFTER BROKE. FIXED FOR HALF COST. LESS THAN 300 MILES LATER, MARCH 3, SAME LIFTER BROKE AGAIN. THREE DAYS LATER ON FAMILY FUNERAL OUT OF TOWN TRIP IT BROKE AGAIN, SAME #4 LIFTER. THREE TIMES IN 1000 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. FINALLY RIGHT... FOR THREE YEARS! AUG. 30, 2018, 136,000+ MILES. MULTIPLE BROKEN LIFTERS WITH CAM DAMAGE. REBUILD OR REPLACE MOTOR FOR $6500 OR MORE. REPLACED WITH FACTORY GM CRATE REMAN. FOR $7500. PLUS TAX. ALL AT MY COST! WHY IS THIS NOT A FACTORY DESIGN FLAW PROBLEM ON RECALL, AUTO WARRANTY OR EVEN COMPLETELY STOP PUTTING THIS AFM LIFTER ON THE MARKET. TO MY BEST RECOLLECTION, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN REGULAR DAILY CITY TRAFFIC IN LITTLE TOWN FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA FOR THREE OF THE FOUR TIMES IT BROKE. ONE TIME WAS HIGHHWAY TRAVEL COMING HOME FROM SARASOTA FLORIDA. NOT JUST AN ECONOMIC OR INCONVENIENCE ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTS WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOOSES POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. COULD BE SERIOUSLY REAR ENDED OR T-BONED TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE SO FAR AND THE BLOGS ON THIS ISSUE FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS ON LINE, ITS TIME TO GET GM TO FIX THE REAL PROBLEM OR STOP BUILDING IT AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE NOW RECEIVED THREE ANNUAL NOTICES OF THE RECALL FOR THE KILLER AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. TO DATE, I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF REPAIR PARTS BEING MADE AVAILABLE. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE DELAY IN THE REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. THREE YEARS IS FAR TOO LONG TO STILL NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I AM DEMADING THAT GM BE FORCED TO EITHER REPAIR THE VEHICLE NOW OR BUY IT BACK AT A FAIR MARKET VALUE IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS WITHIN THE NEXT 20 CALENDAR DAYS BEGINNING 09/06/2018. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE "OR DIE" WAITING YEARS TO GET AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL COMPLETED. IT IS TIME FOR ACTION NOW. NO MORE EXCUSES.

TAKATA RECALL - I'M THE OWNER OF A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 LTZ. TWO YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THAT THE TAKATA AIR BAGS WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL DUE TO EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS, BUT SAID THAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE SUBURBAN AS USUAL (? - DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?) AND THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DISCONNECT THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT KILL YOU IF THEY EXPLODED! DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? (NOT TO ME!) I AM A GRANDFATHER WITH TWO PRECIOUS GRANDCHILDREN. WE GO CAMPING WITH THEM AND MY GRANDSON WHO IS 14 AND SIX FEET TALL OFTEN SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT EVEN THOUGH WE'VE TOLD HIM TO SIT IN ONLY THE REAR SEATS ('I'M NOT A CHILD ANYMORE GRANDPA'). GM HAS PLENTY OF TIME TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS. WE LIVE IN INDIANA WE'RE THE SPRING SUMMER HUMIDITY IS OVER 80% ON A REGULAR DAILY BASIS. IF HUMIDITY IS THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE AIRBAGS POTENTIAL EXPLOSIVE MALFUNCTION, WE ARE DRIVING A CAR WITH BOMBS SURROUNDING US!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE, NOR DOES MY WIFE NOR DO MY GRANDKIDS!!! WHEN CAN WE GET THESE DANGEROUS AIRBAGS REPLACED? WE PLAN TO KEEP THIS SUBURBAN FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS BECAUSE IT'S TRADE-IN VALUE IS NIL WITH AN AIRBAG RECALL WARNING. WHEN WILL I GET MINE REPLACED!
