AIR BAGS
THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2016 FOR MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAGS AND THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. I LIVE IN ONE OF THE HOTTEST AND HUMID PARTS OF THE US WHICH IS KNOWN TO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEGRADE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY KNOWING THIS PROBLEM IS UNADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

NHTSA-2016-0124 HAS BEEN PENDING SINCE 2016. GM HAS FILED A PETITION OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY. WHEN IS NHTSA GOING TO REACH A CONCLUSION ON THIS? IT IS WELL PAST THE DEADLINES NHTSA SET FOR GM TO PROVE THEIR CASE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THERE ARE 3 MAJOR CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD, TWO OF WHICH EMINATE FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. I SEE WHERE THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE DASH BOARD NOW MOVES UP AND DOWN AND RATTLES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED BY MANUFACTURER THROUGH A RECALL. THE CRACKS JUST APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. I TAKE EXCEEDINGLY GOOD CARE OF CAR BUT REPLACING AN ENTIRE DASHBOARD BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU.
