AIR BAGS
RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL LETTER DATED JULY 2016 FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS BUT EVERYTIME THAT I CONTACT MULTIPLE CHEVY DEALERS THEY SAY THAT GM HAS NOT RELEASED THIS RECALL AND IS STILL ARGUING WITH NHTSA ABOUT THE NEED FOR THE RECALL. MEANWHILE I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD KILL ME. IT IS FAIRLY SIMPLE, EITHER THE AIRBAGS ARE THE SAME DEFECTIVE TECHNOLOGY AS THE ONES RECALLED OR NOT. FORCE THEM TO GET ON WITH THE RECALL REPAIRS. I DID CONTACT MY US REPR PHIL ROE;S OFFICE ON THIS MATTER AND HE SUGGESTED FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA.

I SAW THE COMMERCIAL REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL. MY CHEVY AVALANCHE WAS LISTED. I CONFIRMED WITH OUR DEALERSHIP THAT IT INDEED IS ON THE RECALL LIST. I'VE ONLY USED THE ONE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS VEHICLE. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THEY'VE NEVER FIXED IT EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS RECALL AND HAVE REFUSED TO FIX IT NOW. I'VE GONE ALL THE WAY UP THROUGH CHEVY THE CORPORATION WHO SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX MY AIRBAG. WHAT DO I DO NOW? MY HUSBAND AND SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WE ARE STILL DRIVING IT. WE HAVE TO.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD AS SHARDS OF PLASTIC COULD BECOME PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. NOTHING HAPPENED TO CAUSE THE CRACKED DASH, IT SEEMS TO BE A NORMAL PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IT'S CREATING A HAZARD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL KEEP TURNING OFF. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THE MECHANIC SAYS IT IS THE STEERING ANGEL SENSOR. THEY CANNOT FIX IT BECAUSE THE PART IS BACK ORDERED NATION WIDE. HE SAID IT IS USED ON LOTS OF GM PLATFORMS. SO NOW AT VARIOUS TIMES I HAVE NO STABILITY CONTROL OR TRACTION CONTROL AND CANNOT GET THE TRUCK FIXED.
