“Takata inflators we were parked at a store when we were leaving we heard a big loud pop like an explosion or like someone hit us on the passenger side smoke came out of the hood on the passenger side , seat belts locked up very tight emergency lights went on and dash board announced 'service airbag' drove it home very carefully. …”
NHTSA complaint #11170693, filed 2019-01, 120,000 miles“Takata recall I have been patience waiting to have my airbags recalled. Every time I contact the car dealership that I purchased my truck, they keep telling me that my truck can't be serviced to replace my defected takata air bags. I was in an accident in feb 6th 2017. It wasn't my fault and the air bags didn't explode.”
NHTSA complaint #11039413, filed 2017-10, 116,000 miles“I had backed up a jet ski into a parking space. I had got out of the car to check spacing and got back in and closed the door. Went to place vehicle in drive and both side airbags deployed with my four year old son in the back seat.”

I had an incident where my seatbelt pretensioners fired for no reason , causing great pressure across my chest. I was stopped at a stoplight . My airbag did not fire , but hazard lights, emergency systems activated. I tried to submit a safety claim through chevy but after 5 weeks they denied my claim .

Long story short , do I have any re-course? …”
NHTSA complaint #10945082, filed 2017-01, 120,000 miles“The alarm sound for warning of seat belt unbuckled, door open, keys in ignition, etc, is generally inaudible. Occasionally it does work, but usually it does not. In 2010, the dealer said this was an issue with the radio. My warranty had expired so repair was no longer covered. I did not have the problem repaired due to the high cost. I thought that this was an isolated incident until I just read that there is a recall for this exact problem in later models. - when functional, the alarm sound emanates only from the speaker on the left side. …”
