What owners wrote
Cracked dashboard on 2 out of every 3 GM SUV / trucks. Mine is one of them. It is a safety issue that if I were involved in a crash, would my airbag deploy properly, would the dash shatter into tiny pieces and be like shrapnel. GM knows that this is a huge problem with most 2007-present SUV / trucks dashes. My GM case number [xxx] '
It is clearly outlined on the GM and NHTSA websites that my specific vehicle has a defective airbag by the takata corporation based on a finding in 2016. I do not understand why I am not allowed to make my vehicle safe and must "wait" per the GM website which states recall status is: incomplete. Remedy not yet available. What do I need to do to get the airbags replaced with safe ones in order to make my vehicle safe for me and my family to drive in?
