“I have called my local dealer for my car will hit a bump shut off and come right back on. Also the air bag light will not go off. I have asked them if this was part of the recall they said even if it was its to long for them to cover it under the recall id have to pay myself. It sounds to me as this issue is part of the recall. What can I do to have this issue fixed under the recall statue?”

“Takata recall ,there is a recall on this vehicle for the passenger side airbag, my truck was parked under an awning and yesterday I noticed my dashboard was cracked in front of the airbag. Not only can we not get a 200 dollar airbag replaced now my dash is cracking for no apparent reason, is the government going to help with dashboard replacement which could cause more fragments if airbag deployed!! Dashboards probably cost more than an airbag and it is all tied together.”

“The issue I am having is that the service airbag light keeps coming on and going off. It has been intermittent for the past 3 weeks and today it came back on and it not going off. I have read a lot of different forums with people having this same issue.”

“I recd a recall notice in may 2016 for airbag recall. As of today, oct 30, 2017, I am still told by the dealerships that this part is unavailable and that the company processing part has filed bankruptcy and it is unknown when this part will be available. I'm uncomfortable driving a vehicle that has been recalled because of safety feature defects. I want a resolution to this problem. 2009 Chevy silverado”

“Putting any electrical ipod, phone, laptop or etc. On passenger seat sets off service air bag. I see a lot of people are having that problem. All I get from the dealership is that GM says don't do that. With a passenger in the seat there is no airbag protection for them. I have a chrysler also with problem as this.”
