“Takata recall I again contacted my local Chevrolet dealer, robbins Chevrolet, humble texas regarding getting airbags replaced. Service manager was polite and responsive but said no remedy available. Gm / Chevrolet will not address problem. No action by GM / Chevrolet since recall notice was received several years ago in spite of numerous inquiries.”
NHTSA complaint #11098282, filed 2018-05, 60,000 miles“Our 2007 chevy Tahoe was parked/stationary, engine on, car in park with emergency brake on, and parked on a dirt driveway. I got into the driver side and shut the driver side door when the side curtain airbags in the front row, second row, and third row on both the driver and passenger side deployed. The seat belts for the driver and front seat passenger locked up and are unable to unlock and are not usable.”
NHTSA complaint #11395102, filed 2021-02, 112,000 miles“My airbag alert light will not go out via the dashboard. It's my understanding there is NHTSA recall (16v383) due to the propellant in some types of the takata airbag inflators which can degrade over time. This can cause the inflators to rupture during deployment causing serious or fatal injuries.”
NHTSA complaint #11364428, filed 2020-10, 100,000 miles“Takata recall. I received notice of the recall in may of 2016. I have made numerous attempts to contact local chevy dealers and to date no recourse. I have had a service air bag light on for close to two years but the repair shop does not want to provide service on this because of the recall. I can, at times, drive upto 1000 miles a week, it would be nice if this could be taken care of.”
NHTSA complaint #11234067, filed 2019-07, 100,000 miles“Takata recall - the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for my vehicle in a timely manner, I have been trying to get the airbag replaced due to the recall for over two years. I am always told that the there are no parts available to fix the airbag. I have not had any detonation of the airbag yet.”
