TAKATA RECALL, GM STILL HAS NO RECALL ACTION ON THIS THEY HAVE NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE AIR BAGS. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 2049151. GM IS CONTESTING THIS RECALL BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY THE REPLACEMENT OF THESE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE I JUST WANT THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AS RECOMMENDED BY TAKATA AND IN THE NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V381. RECEIVED A NOTICE OF RECALL FROM GM ON MAY 27, 2016 ADVISING ME OF THE RECALL STATING THAT GM CONSIDERS THE VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE STATUS OF THE RECALL IS "INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE" GM IS STILL PROTESTING THIS RECALL AND HAS NOT RECEIVED A FINAL RULING FROM THE NHTSA ON ITS POSITION THAT THE GM VEHICLES ARE SAFE TO DRIVE. I BELIEVE THAT GM IS STALLING AND SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

AT 75MPH ON TOLL ROAD AT NIGHT, SUDDENLY THE LIGHTS (ALL EXTERNAL & INTERNAL) WENT DARK. HAZARD LIGHT WOULD NOT WORK, ENGINE QUIT, BELL WENT OFF (DOOR-KEY IN IGNITION BELL), RPM SURGED. WAS ABLE TO GET OFF ROAD AND WAITED 10 MINUTES AND TRUCK STARTED. DROVE OFF, GOT TO 60 AND SAME THING HAPPENED. WAITED 30 MINUTES AND TRUCK WAS OK EXCEPT WHEN BRAKES APPLIED -DOOR/KEY BELL WENT OFF. DEALER HAD TRUCK FOR THREE DAYS AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE. WENT TO UTUBE AND TYPED IN ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS-2009 SILVERADO AND SEVERAL PAGES OF THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM APPEARED.CALLED DEALER TOLD THEM TO REPLACE THE BATTERY GROUND CABLE AND TO CHECK THE MEGA FUSE. SO FAR THE TRUCK IS RUNNING OK (INCIDENT HAPPENED IN JULY 2017) SEEMS LIKE THE BACK YARD MECHANICS KNOW MORE ABOUT HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS SERIOUS, DRIVING AT NIGHT AT 75 AND LOSING ALL ELECTRICS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE POOR QUALITY GROUND CABLES; THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!!

BROKEN PLASTIC DASH BOARD( TOP PLASTIC) LEAVING SHARP JAGGED EDGES AROUND AIRBAG PANEL ON PASSENGERS SIDE WHERE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. DASH CRACKS IN OTHER MULTIPLE LOCATIONS ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WITH SHARP PLASTIC BROKEN PIECES ON DRIVERS SIDE NEAR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND I USE A WINDSHIELD SHADE IN THE SUN. VEHICLE HAD 8000 MILES ON IT. NEW BREAKS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ON DASH BOARD FROM THERMAL EXPANSION AND MATERIAL STRUCTURAL FAILURE OF THE DASH BOARD TOP PLASTIC. ALSO HAS DIS-COLORATION ON THE AIRBAG PANEL PLASTIC PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD. DASH BOARD AIRBAG PANEL LOOKS TO BE DETERIORATING AND MAY POSSIBLY FRAGMENT IN AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I HAVE CONCERNS WITH FACIAL LACERATIONS AND CONTUSIONS IF A BAG DEPLOYS AND THIS PANEL ALONG WITH OTHER SHARP BROKEN DASH BOARD PLASTIC FRAGMENTS BECOME PROJECTILES FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER ON THE UPPER TORSO, FACE, ARMS AND POTENTIAL BLINDNESS FROM AN EYE INJURY FROM SHARP DASHBOARD PLASTIC FRAGMENTATION INTRUSION. NEWEST CRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WERE WITNESS ON A WARM DAY RECENTLY WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR I HEARD A CRACK AS I SHUT THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE AIRBAG I NOTICED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 IN THE LEFT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COVER, THE FORWARD MOST CORNER OF THE DASH THAT IS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG PLASTIC PANEL RECENTLY SHOWS SIGN OF WHITE DISCOLORATION STREAKS THROUGH THE PLASTIC AND WILL NOT CLEANUP. PLASTIC LOOK AS IF IT IS DETERIORATING AND CHANGING COLOR. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PANEL AS THIS DEPLOYS WITH AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG COVER ON THE STEERING WHEEL LOOKS TO BE MADE OF THE SAME MATERIAL AND THAT FRAGMENTATION MAY OCCUR HERE AS WELL IN A AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TRUCK HAD MASSIVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT TO 2ND GEAR. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING, THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLED ON AND OFF OVER AND OVER AS WELL AS THE DOOR CHIMES COMING ON CONSTANTLY. HVAC DEFAULTED TO FULL HEAT FROM AIR CONDITIONING MODE. STABILITRACK SYSTEMS SHOWED INOPERATIVE AS WELL AS ABS SYSTEM. THE RAPID DOWNSHIFT FROM CRUISE TO 2ND GEAR CAUSED TIRES TO LOCK UP. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WET OR SLIPPERY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVVED TO 4-5 THOUSAND RPM, AS IT DOWNSHIFTED AND MY SPEED DROPPED LIKE I WAS LOCKING THE BRAKES. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AND THE DECELERATION CAME ON WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS, AS IT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE TRANSMISSION RAPID DOWNSHIFT. I CONTACTED GM VIA THEIR CHAT LINE, REFERENCE [XXX]. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS 8 YEARS OLD AND BOUGHT OVER-SEAS SO I WAS OUT OF LUCK FOR HELP WITH REPAIRS. IT IS PRESUMABLY CAUSED BY FAULTY BATTERY CABLES. THIS CONDITION IS REPORTED REPEATEDLY ON THE INTERNET I.E. YOUTUBE AMAZON ETC. THESE PARTS ARE NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR COMPONENTS AND SINCE THEY CAUSE MASSIVE SAFETY RELATED CONTROL ISSUES THEIR MANUFACTURING QUALITY IS IN QUESTION. I WANT TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO HELP PREVENT SOMEONE ELSE POSSIBLY HAVING AN INJURY TO THEIR LOVED ONES BECAUSE OF A KNOWN CONDITION THAT COULD BE REPAIRED WITH A 125.00 PART. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUCKALEW CHEV IN CONROE TX. AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES. I HAVE THAT INVOICE. I HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE INITIAL CHAT WITH GM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS IS AN AIRBAG CONCERN, THERE IS CRACKING IN THE DASH BOARD NEAR THE PASENGER AIRBAG. THIS STARTED TWO MONTHS AGO, BUT THE CRACK KEEPS DEVOLPING. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OTHER CASES OF 2007-2013 GM VEHICLES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS AFFECTS THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT STARTED. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WEAK PLASTIC.
