“Takata recall this airbag recall is taking a long time to get finalized with GM and the NHTSA and I am getting concerned that if I were to get into a wreck, will the airbag perform as it should or is there a problem with my airbag. Any idea when GM will get the info back from NHTSA to know if there will be a recall for free on these airbags?”
NHTSA complaint #11088344, filed 2018-04, 120,000 miles“Took a left turn while driving, heard a small noise and with in one minute of going down the road after my turn, my engine was a rough idle, engine light blinking and traction control was blinking. Had it towed to the closest chevy dealership to find out that the lifters were bad and causing misfire. That's a common problem for this engine and the replacement cost should not be on the consumer, there should be a recall for this costly repair!”
NHTSA complaint #11408652, filed 2021-04, 167,000 miles“I believe my passenger side air bag may have done something because the dash next to the air bag area has been cracked. Dealer says there is no fix; but every other car company has found the fix; replace the inflator. This dash crack happened over night while parked in my garage.”

They told me they didn't have them and didn't know when they would be available. I called the chevy consumer number and got the same answer. This is the same run around ive been getting for several years while I'm driving a car that could potentially hurt or kill the passenger in the car.... Why did this get sent out if thisdealers wont repair them?”
