TAKATA RECALL RECALL 16V381 IS QUITE OLD AND NEEDS TO BE FINALIZED. IT IS DIFFICULT TO TELL IF THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE OR NOT.

I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED BY THE GM RECALL 14515 IN MY 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. IN THE PAST 6 WEEKS, THE CAR HAS FAILED TO START. THE FIRST INCIDENT REQUIRED NEARLY 10 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR BEFORE IT WOULD START. ONCE STARTED THE CAR WAS FINE. IT WAS A COLD START - FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. ABOUT A MONTH LATER IT FAILED TO START GAIN, AFTER BEING PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. AGAIN, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THE TRUCK STARTED AND DROVE FINE AFTERWARDS. TODAY - ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT, THE TRUCK STALLED WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. IT TOOK 6-7 ATTEMPTS TO START BEFORE THE TRUCK AGAIN FIRED UP AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AT AROUND 50,000 MILES. THERE IS A CRACK BETWEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER AND THE FRONT EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD AND ONE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO THE FRONT EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD INITIALLY THAT THIS IS SIMPLY A COSMETIC ISSUE, BUT SUBSEQUENT REPORTS SUGGEST THAT THESE CRACKS MAY CAUSE THE DASHBOARD TO SPLINTER WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING PREVENTABLE HARM TO PASSENGERS.

"TAKATA RECALL" YOUR WEBSITE STATES THAT IF THE RECALL IS NOT FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER TO CONTACT YOU OR FILE A COMPLAINT. IT HAS ALMOST BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHEN THE FIX IS COMING. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES UNDER THIS RECALL, I AM HOPING YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS SITUATION AS GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS FROM ITS CUSTOMERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM IN THE PAST AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A ANSWER.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE. IT HAS CRACKED ALL AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT I'M VERY CONCERNED THE DASH WILL INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM ALSO CONCERNED IT WILL BECOME LIKE PIECES OF FLYING SHRAPNEL. THE DASH IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.
