| Description of the problem | Takata recall - general motors and their authorized dealers have refused to replace the faulty passenger air bag on our 2011 chevrolet tahoe even though its been recalled in 2016. The nhtsa recall number is 16v381 and manufacturer recall number is 2049151 and even though their is a recall for our vehicle's air bag, all of the general motors dealers we contacted said nothing was being done to recall the faulty air bag and that the car was "safe to drive" which is unacceptable. I want to resolve my defective airbag problem with our vehicle but i am powerless to force general motors to correct the problem without expensive litigation. I refuse to accept the statement of "your vehicle is safe to drive" from general motors and their dealerships knowing that our car could be a potential death trap in the future. |
