2010 Chevrolet Suburban Air Bags & Restraints Problems

TK Holdings Inc. (“Takata”) has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflators installed as original equipment in certain 2007 to 2014 model year Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, and Escalade EXT vehicles; certain Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500/3500, Suburban, and Tahoe vehicles; and certain GMC Sierra 1500, Sierra 2500/3500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. The determination was made that the propellant in these inflators may degrade after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature cycling, which could cause the inflator to rupture during a deployment. SAFETY RISK:

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V054000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. The dealer was contacted, and an appointment was scheduled; however, the contact was notified that parts were not available for the recall repair. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE THIS MORNING, 11/17/2020, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AS I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THE MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 129173.

WE NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD THAT APPEARS TO MOVE BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE CENTER DASH VENT ON JULY 11TH, 2020. THERE WAS A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF NOISE "RATLLING" FROM THE DASH BOARD. ON JULY 18TH WE NOTICED THAT THE SPA E ON THE DASH UNDER THE VENT WAS HANGING EVEN LOWER AND MORE NOISE.ON 7/27/20 WE REALIZED THE CRACK CONTINUES TO SPREAD AND THE DASH IS SUNK IN MORE. WE ARW CONCERNED THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF NEEDED OR THAT FURTHER COSMETIC INJURY WILL HAPPEN TO THE DASH. THE CAR WAS INITIALLY STATIONARY OUTSIDE OUR HOME. EACH INSTANCE THE CRACK IS VISIBLE AS WELL AS THE INCREASED SPACE UNDER THE VENT. THE PROBLEM BECAME MORE EVIDENT AS WE DROVE OFF EACH TIME. WE TAKE CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY WHEN DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. WE HAVE OWNED SEVERAL MAKES AND MODELS OF DIFFERENT VEHICLES AND HAVE NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. WE DO KNOW WE HAVE SIX CHILDREN AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR THAT WE NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING.

IT TAKES 3 TO 4 TRIES BEFORE THE SEATBELT CLICKS ON . DRIVER SIDE

SEVERE DASH CRACKING AROUND AIRBAGS. IF REPAIRED, I'M AFRAID THAT AIRBAG MAY DEPLOY. CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE.

NEED PAPERWORK SO MY AIRBAGS CAN BE FIX AT THE DEALERSHIP.

CRACKED DASH OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS AIRBAG REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. I CONTACTED FRED CALDWELL CHEVROLET MOST RECENTLY ON 12/9/17. EACH TIME, INCLUDING MY LAST CONTACT ON 12/9/17, I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THEY CANNOT DO THE REPAIR BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SUPPLIED WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM THE AIRBAG COMPANY TO COMPLETE THE THE REPAIR.

2010 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN MY DASH BOARD INEXPLICABLY CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES SOME AROUND THE AIR BAG. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THOUSANDS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND ARE CONCERNED THE CHEAP PLASTIC DASH COULD TURN TO SHRAPNEL IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE READ PEOPLE SPEND HUNDREDS, SOMETIMES THOUSANDS TO FIX THE DAMAGE ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS POOR AND CHEAP DESIGN FLAW. NO ONE DESERVES TO SPEND $40K ON A VEHICLE THAT LITERALLY CRACKS APART IN A SHORT TIME OF OWNERSHIP. IF GM REALLY STANDS BEHIND THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS, THEN THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. AND WHILE I'M AT IT ALL VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS NEED TO STOP MAKING SUCH CHEAP UNSAFE PIECE OF CRAPS THAT ARE CONSTANTLY BEING RECALLED FOR SOME REASON OR ANOTHER. NHTSA NEEDS TO HOLD THESE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT ONLY RIPPING US ALL OFF, BUT ALSO PRODUCING SUCH UNSAFE VEHICLES. STAND UP AND GROW A BACKBONE NHTSA!
