NHTSA Complaint #11115863 — 2008 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE 1500

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 2 YRS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. MY AVALANCHE SENSORS ARE STATING THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS FAILED. I HAVE BEEN TO THE INTERNET WEB SITES AND THE DEALERSHIP DOZENS OF TIMES ONLY TO GET THE SAME FEEDBACK...NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN DETERMINED, NOTHING THEY CAN DO. IT IS PRETTY CLEAR TO ME THAT THEY KNOW HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE, BUT THEY ARE USING STALL TACTICS TO AVOID INCURING THE COST THEY ARE LEGALLY BOUND TO SPEND. MY PARTICULAR MAKE/MODEL/YEAR WAS SUPPOSED TO PRIORITIZED AND COMPLETED BY MARCH 2018. SINCE IT IS CLEAR TO ME THE STALL TACTICS HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH NO ACCOUNTABILITY, I THOUGHT MAYBE I WOULD TRADE THE CAR IN FOR A SAFER ONE WITHOUT AIR BAG PROBLEMS....NO DEALER WILL TAKE THE CAR IN ON TRADE BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG PROBLEM. SO I AM STUCK DRIVING AN KNOWN-UNSAFE-VEHICLE AND PUTTING MY FAMILY AT RISK THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WON'T ARM, IT'S A KNOWN RECALL ISSUE, AND I CANNOT GET IT FIXED MAKES NO SENSE AND IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE
