Large dashboard cracks near airbags. Apparently widespread problem among GM products. I do not know if this will affect airbag safety or not. No incident involved yet.

My driver side back glass (quarter panel long glass) spontaneously exploded this morning with my young child in her car seat. No one was nearby, the car was in park. Nothing caused the glass to break it just randomly occurred.

The contact owned a 2008 GMC Yukon XL. The contact stated while driving at an intersection, another vehicle unexpectedly cut into the middle lane. As a result, the contact crashed into the passenger side of the vehicle. The air bags deployed. A police report was filed. The contact sustained hematomas on his knee and hip while the passenger sustained a busted knee. Medical treatment was required. The vehicle was not drivable and was towed to an impound lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure and the contact filed a complaint. The contact was relating the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 21V050000 (Air bags). The failure mileage was 227,000.

THE HATCH WILL NOT STAY OPEN WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GOES DOWN INTO THE 50'S IT SHUTS ON MY HEAD AND WON'T STOP. IT IS STATIONARY WHEN I AM LOADING OR UNLOADING THE BACK HATCH.

WE HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER 3 YEARS FOR THIS MATTER TO BE PUT IN TO AN ACTION PLAN. WE DRIVE THE NOTED 2008 YUKON DENALI DAILY TO AND FROM WORK AS WELL AS TAKE OUR PASSENGERS TO SCHOOL. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE AND WISH TO REQUEST THAT THE AIR BAG NOTED BE SCHEDULED FOR REPLACEMENT. WE ARE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE NOTED ISSUES THAT IT MAY CAUSE AND FEEL THAT WE HAVE BEEN P PUT IN HARMS WAY VIA THE KNOWLEDGE AND DECISON TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. PLEASE ADVISE WHEN WE WILL BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THE NEW PRODUCT SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION. 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 AN INﬂATOR RUPTURE MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG AND INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AT HIGH SPEED, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.

WHEN I ENGAGE THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN THEY GRAB, ALL THE TIME ON ANY STREET.

I RECEIVED MY FIRST NOTICE ABOUT THE TAAKA AIRBAG RECALL IN 2018 AND GM STILL DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THE AIRBAGS. VERY UNTIMELY MANNER FOR REPAIRS, WHEN DRIVING DAILY.

NHTSA HAS NOT RESOLVED THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 4 YEARS AND 1 YEAR SINCE GM'S LAST PETITION TO IGNORE THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IS NHTSA GOING TO ACT ON NHTSA-2016-0124?

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY CAUGHT FIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. FIRE INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND PAID SUBSTANTIAL ATTENTION TO THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE DASH AREA ON BOTH THE INBOARD AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT SIDES OF THE DASH. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH PAST REPORTS OF FIRES STARTING DUE TO THE HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAD. THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON THIS CAR.

THERE HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING RECALL TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG(S) IN THIS VEHICLE. UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD RECALL THAT AFFECTS MANY VEHICLES BUT WHAT IS CONCERNING IS THAT THE RECALL STATES THAT IT IS MOST AFFECTED BY "LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS" WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN FLORIDA. I PERIODICALLY CHECK WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ALWAYS ADVISE THAT THERE'S NO UPDATE. I WOULD THINK IT SHOULD BE HANDLED MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY DUE TO THIS VEHICLE QUALIFYING TO THE EXACT CONDITIONS OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOW TWELVE YEARS OLD ALL WHICH HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA (A HOT AND HUMID REGION). PLEASE ADVISE... THANKS IN ADVANCE, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OUR TAKATA AIRBAG HAS BEEN ON RECALL FOR YEARS. GM WAS GIVEN UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO FILE THEIR PETITION. THAT WAS TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO!! WHERE IS YOUR DECISION???? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEGLIGENT, AM I PUTTING MY FAMILY IN A SAFE VEHICLE OR WILL WE BE KILLED BY SHRAPNEL IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT??? WOULD YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE? SADLY, I OWN NOT ONLY ONE VEHICLE IN THIS SITUATION BUT TWO! DO YOUR JOB!

THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2016 FOR MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAGS AND THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. I LIVE IN ONE OF THE HOTTEST AND HUMID PARTS OF THE US WHICH IS KNOWN TO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEGRADE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY KNOWING THIS PROBLEM IS UNADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

NHTSA-2016-0124 HAS BEEN PENDING SINCE 2016. GM HAS FILED A PETITION OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY. WHEN IS NHTSA GOING TO REACH A CONCLUSION ON THIS? IT IS WELL PAST THE DEADLINES NHTSA SET FOR GM TO PROVE THEIR CASE.

THERE ARE 3 MAJOR CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD, TWO OF WHICH EMINATE FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. I SEE WHERE THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE DASH BOARD NOW MOVES UP AND DOWN AND RATTLES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED BY MANUFACTURER THROUGH A RECALL. THE CRACKS JUST APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. I TAKE EXCEEDINGLY GOOD CARE OF CAR BUT REPLACING AN ENTIRE DASHBOARD BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED UP TO/INCLUDING THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD-MOUNTED AIRBAG, WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY FROM FLYING SHRAPNEL IF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OCCURS.
