"crash impact sensor in the drivers side front door has lost communication with the vehicle's airbag computer. vehicle information display reports the fault and illuminates the red dashboard airbag light. this condition caused by wire harness / conductor fatigue between drivers side door and vehicle body. observed that if driver's side door moved to certain positions while open the fault would clear. eventually these wires in the door harness failed due to normal open / close cycles with the door upon entry / exit and now have completely failed so that the dashboard airbag lamp stays illuminated at all times. i have a 2010 toyota venza that has a recall on the same type of issue. why is gm not recalling vehicles for this issue? my dealer has acknowledged that they have seen this issue, but no recall has been issued so they are not able to address it as such."

"takata recall. the contact owns a 2012 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 21v054000 (air bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. the dealer was made aware of the issue. the contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect."

"this is in regards to: manufacturer recall numbern212328800 nhtsa recall number21v054 gm's handling of this is absolutely unacceptable. i have been waiting for parts for over a year. gm's statement is "just don't drive it" if i have a concern about me or someone dying from their defective part. for over a year this is [xxx] to put it bluntly. i just got a letter stating that parts were now available, i have called immediately and was told sorry, there aren't actually parts available now. no eta. gm should be financially compensating me for giving me no other option to drive an unsafe vehicle for over a year and who knows how much longer. i don't have the financial means to 'just not drive my truck for over a year', or to 'go buy/lease another vehicle for this duration'. i'm livid that this problem hasn't been resolved and more needs to be done federally to put the heat to gm. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)."

"i received recall notice n212328770 by letter in july 2021. i immediately notified my local dealership and they told be they were waiting for the part. we just received a call from the dealer about a week ago and schedule to ge the recall issue repaired on wednesday, february 9th 2022. we were given an appointment and my wife had to take the vehicle due to the me working. she arrived to have the safety defect replaced (passender air bag) and was told that when they do the replacement that if the dash cracks or is damaged they are not responsible for the damages and we would have to pay to get it fixed or replaced. this is very pooe customr service as well as causing a customer not to go through getting the recall completed. my wife called me and did not want to challenge the dealership. i told her just come home and do not let them make the repair/replacement and i would contact gm. i have had no luck doing so. this should be a no brainer. if they damage the dash or it cracks they fix it or replace it. my dash does hav 2 small cracks right where the air bag is located and from what i have read online many have stated that they too have had the same issue. this is supposedly due to the air bag issue. so now i am in a rock and hard place. i either don't get it done and risk a serious injury or death due to gm's unwillingness to take responsibility and handle in a professional manner or have them do it, damage the dash and pay lots of money to get it replaced. can you please advise what i should do? since i can not provide you with any personal info so you can contact me what am i to do to get this recified? a very long standing upset gm customer."

"i have received a recall letter from general motors regarding recall # n212328800, nhtsa campaign id number 21v054. the letter was dated last february of 2021 and received shortly thereafter. the letter specifically states that i am to receive a second letter advising when the parts are available and requesting that i take my vehicle to a chevrolet dealer. as of today, january 17, 2022, i have not received any such letter. i am writing to advise you of gms totally unacceptable response to this instance of the takata airbag recall. i have checked with chevrolet dealers in my area and am being told that i can come to their lot and they will order the parts and then call me when they are ready to do the work. this response is contrary to the way the letter states that the recall will be handled and is confusing to customers. please investigate and get gm back on track. i would also appreciate an email from someone at gm advising when the airbag parts will be available or if they are already available. i can be reached by email at [xxx]. thank you.
