CRACKED UPPER END OF DASH BOARD. THREE SEPARATE CRACKS APPEARED ON THE UPPER PART OF THE DASH, ONE IS GOING RIGHT ACROSS WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS LOCATED. THIS HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

THUS FAR, NOTHING HAS "HAPPENED" WITH MY VEHICLE, BUT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL IN EFFECT FOR THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE FOR WELL OVER A YEAR AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. I AM ALSO HAVING SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY TRUCK NOT SHUTTING OFF WHEN I REMOVE THE KEY, AND THE INTERIOR DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON WHEN THE BUTTON IS PRESSED (THIS HAS ALL BEGAN SINCE THE RECALL WAS INITIATED BUT NOT TAKEN CARE OF). I JUST WANT MY AIRBAGS REPLACED, AS THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE, GIVEN THE RECALL, AND IF THE RECALLED PARTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS I AM NOW HAVING WITH MY TRUCK, I WANT THOSE ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED AS WELL. THE LENGTH OF TIME THIS HAS TAKEN TO ADDRESS IS BEYOND UNREASONABLE AND I HAVE BEEN AS PATIENT AS I CAN BE WAITING FOR THIS RECALLED PART TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A CARD IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR OIL CHANGES AT RELIABLE CHEVOLET AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT THERE IS NO PART TO REPLACE. I HAVE LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER IN A WEB SITE NAMED WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO DETERMINE IF MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST. MY 2010 CHEVOLET AVALANCE IS ON THE LIST. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED SINCE THE DEALER TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT PART AVAILABLE. I ALSO HAVE A TIRE SYMBOL APPEAR ON MY DRIVER'S SCREEN. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT NOTHING CAN BEEN DIAGNOSED UNTIL THE SYMBOL REMAINS PERMANENT.
