DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACKED ON THE PORTION COVERING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I AM WORRIED THAT IF INFLATED, THE PLASTIC SHARDS WILL IMPALE ANY PASSENGER. ALSO THE DASHBOARD CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT IS BEGINNING TO CAVE IT.

I'VE RECEIVED MULTIPLE RECALL NOTICES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS AND HAVE GONE IN TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALER AS DIRECTED. LAST VISIT 11/03/2017. THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS AND CAN'T HELP IN ANY WAY. GM TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY AND BLAMES TAKATA. NOW WITH TAKATA'S BANKRUPTCY THE CONSUMER IS SCREWED!

TAKATA RECALL: GMC HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE WAY TO LONG AND STILL TO THIS DATE CANNOT GIVE ME A DATE OR TIME FRAME WHEN THEY CAN FIX MY ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN CORRECTED. THE SECOND ISSUE IS THE EPIDEMIC DASH CRACKING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING ISSUE AND GMC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT IN THEIR DASHES. MY DASH CRACKS ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER GMC OWNERS AND WHEN THERE IS AN OBVIOUS FLAW, THEY SHOULD CORRECT IT. DOWN AT THE BOTTOM WHERE IS SAY WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN? I KNOW IF HAPPENED IT 2010, BUT NOT A SPECIFIC DAY OR MONTH.

"TAKATA RECALL" RECALL 49152. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT , SEVERAL TIMES, W/ GMC ABOUT THE RECALL SINCE RECEIVING THE LETTER IN EARLY 2016. WHEREAS WE HAVE YET TO EXPERIENCE ANY ISSUES WITH THE TRUCK, IT IS APPROACHING 10 YEARS OLD AND WE ARE AFRAID IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. WE DONT WANT TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR OF RUPTURE. TODAY WE WERE TOLD THAT A DECISION IS TO BE MADE BY THE END OF DEC. 2017 THAT MAY RELIEVE GMC OF THIS BURDEN ALTOGETHER WHICH WE FIND COMPLETELY UNSATISFACTORY. WE WOULD LIKE THIS REPLACED AS IT IS THE RIGHT AND SAFE THING TO DO & AT GMC'S EXPENSE. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO BESIDES SALE/TRADE IT IN, ONLY TO PASS THE PROBLEM ON TO SOMEONE ELSE? THANK YOU

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE JULY 2015 SAYING PARTS WERE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. I DO NOT THINK IT SHOULD TAKE MORE THAN 2 YEARS TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. TODAY I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT TAKATA IS FILING FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY, SO WHAT ARE OUR CHANCES TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED? I AM QUITE DISTURBED THAT GM WOULD LET A PROBLEM LIKE THIS TO CONTINUE THIS LONG. I HAVE BEEN A FAITHFUL GM CUSTOMER EVER SINCE I PURCHASED A 1951 CHEVY BACK IN 1958. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE!!

TAKATA RECALL - BOUGHT 2008 TRUCK NEW AND I LIVE IN OKLAHOMA. IT IS VERY HOT HERE IN THE SUMMERS. HIGHER RISK IN HOT CLIMATES AND MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED APPROXIMATELY 9 YEARS. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER THREE TIMES OVER THE LAST 15 MONTHS AND THEY REFER ME TO GM CUST SVC. TODAY CUST SVC TELLS ME THE SAME CRAP - THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO. IT'S SIMPLE - REPLACE THE INFLATORS NOW - ENOUGH SCREWING AROUND. SAFETY RECALL RECEIVED DATED JULY 2016. STILL NO PARTS AT DEALER. GM IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET AS LONG AS THEY CAN. IT IS TIME TO DO SOMETHING!

TAKATA RECALL REMEDY HAS STILL NOT BEEN COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER'S WEB SITE STATES, "RECALL INCOMPLETE - REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THIS RECALL HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND STILL THERE IS NO REMEDY AND NO BODY CAN PROVIDE A TIME WHEN THERE WILL BE A REMEDY. AS A RESULT, THE RISKS ESCALATE. PLEASE HAVE THE MANUFACTURE REPAIR THE PROBLEM ASAP.
