TAKATA RECALL: I'VE CALLED THE MADERA, CA CHEVROLET AND WENT IN PERSON. THEY DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THE AIRBAG ON THE TRUCK. NOT EVEN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THE LADY THAT HELPED US SAID WE NEED TO WAIT FOR ANOTHER LETTER TO COME IN BEFORE THEY CHANGE IT.

TAKATA RECALL IS IN EFFECT, BUT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS SAID THAT CHEVROLET HAS NOT SENT REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS IS VERY IRRESPONSIBLE. IF THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT REPLACED, THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED TO KEEP A DEADLY ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING.

THE WIPERS STARTED GOING SLOW THEN STOPPED BLOCKING VIEW. CHECKING ONLINE EVERYONE SEEMS TO BELIEVE THE WIPER SYSTEMS TRANSMISSION POINTS ARE FAILING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT'S RAINING AND YOU LOSE YOUR WIPERS.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT I CANNOT GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER THIS RECALL. GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT EVEN IF IT MEANS USING AIRBAGS FROM A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER.

JUST NOTICED RIGID PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND COMPROMISED. DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE INVOLVING MANY DIFFERENT MODELS. THE CONCERN HERE IS FLYING SHARDS OF A DASHBOARD BECOMING DEADLY PROJECTILES. THIS FAULTY DESIGN SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE HARMFUL EFFECTS JUST SO HAPPEN TO BE DISCOVERED OR EVEN WORSE, GO UNDISCOVERED BECAUSE THE EXPLODING SHRAPNEL GOES UNATTRIBUTED TO THE ALREADY COMPROMISED MATERIAL IN THESE GM VEHICLES. GAME HAS ALREADY SHOWN A HISTORY OF DENYING PROBLEMS EXIST WITH THEIR VEHICLES,. THE CONSEQUENCES THAT TOO MANY FAMILIES HAD TO ENDURE WHILE GM FAILED TO RECALL FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES SPEAKS TO THE CULTURE AT GM. DENY A PROBLEM EXIST, PAY SETTLEMENTS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS, AND ONLY ISSUE A RECALL WHEN FORCED TO, THEN JUST PAY A SMALL PORTION OF OUR PROFITS IN FINES WHILE AVOIDING ANY PRISON TIME FOR DECIDING IT'S CHEAPER TO SETTLE WITH FAMILIES AND THE FEDS WITH CASH THEN FACE ANY REAL CONSEQUENCES THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE SAFETY OF MOTORIST WHO PURCHASE OUR VEHICLES. ALL GM COMPLAINTS NEED TO BE INVESTIGATED FOREVERMORE

TAKATA RECALL. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR AND THE PARTS ACCORDING TO MY DEALER SHIP HAVE STILL NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE. THIS HAS KILLED PEOPLE MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING A TRUCK THAT IS NOT SAFE. WE CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WHY HAS GM NOT MADE THE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THE TRUCK. AT LEAST HAVE IT TO WHERE THE OLD AIRBAGS THAT ARE IN THEM BE DISCONNECTED TO THEY WON'T DEPLOY AND POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE ELSE.
