“I was making a left turn at an intersection when another vehicle slammed into my truck head on. My air bags did not even deploy. Although my vehicle was the larger of the two, I expected the bags to do their intended job, but they failed to do so. This was one year after the recall and general motors still don't have a remedy for the air bags”

NHTSA complaint #10966432, filed 2017-03, 215,000 miles

“Takata recall - it has now been over eighteen months since this recall was issued and nothing has been done. My understanding is that older models, in hot, humid climates, are most at risk. My vehicle is nine years old, and I reside in florida. While there has been no incident yet, I am reluctant to drive the vehicle in question. I cannot afford to replace it. Please expedite the solution for this.”

“Takata inflators: my 2007 Chevrolet 2500 hd silverado has had an open recall for approximately 2 years. The letter said shards of metal may fly from the air bag in the case of deployment causing serious harm or death to occupants, however GM stated that the vehicle was still safe to drive?????? After this amount of time, the fact that my husband, children and grand children routinely ride in this truck. I think it is time that the recall be completed. I contacted GM and they said there is no new information. …”

“I am filing a complaint due to a safety concern about my passenger airbag on my chevy. There is a crack on my dash where the airbag is stored creating a safety concern in case of an accident. The pressure from the airbag can make my dash a projectile killing passengers in the car. I have attempted to discuss this with GM/chevy but they don't want to recognize their faults. This is an issue that many chevy/GM customers are having. I have pictures of dashes with the cracks in the same place each time. …”
