Air BagsJan 2026 · ODI 11714157 · crash · 2 injuriesDetails +

Component/System Failure The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) failed to function as designed. Specifically, the driver steering wheel airbag and front passenger airbag did not deploy during a collision involving frontal impact forces. The vehicle is currently retained by the insurance carrier and is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk The failure of the SRS materially increased the risk of serious bodily injury or fatality to the vehicle occupants. The driver experienced neck pain, persistent headaches, shoulder pain, back pain, weakness, cognitive fog, and a seatbelt-related neck abrasion, consistent with unmitigated crash forces. A minor passenger was present in the vehicle and was also exposed to increased injury risk due to the lack of airbag deployment. Confirmation or Reproduction of the Problem UNKNOWN. The airbag failure has not yet been evaluated by a dealer or independent service center to determine root cause. Inspections Conducted The vehicle will be inspected by insurance representatives in connection with the collision claim. A police report was completed at the time of the accident. The manufacturer has not yet inspected the vehicle or SRS components. Warnings or Prior Symptoms No airbag warning lights, SRS indicators, messages, or fault alerts were present prior to the collision. The vehicle previously underwent a manufacturer safety recall repair related to airbags, completed by an authorized repair facility more than one year before the accident. No post-repair warnings or abnormalities were observed prior to the collision. Additional Safety Concern Despite recall compliance, both front airbags failed to deploy, raising concerns of defective components, improper recall repair, or system malfunction. This failure warrants further investigation to determine whether similar vehicles may present an ongoing safety risk.

P265/65R18 Michelin Tires: I bought the vehicle last Fall and it had these tires. I am not sure when they were purchased, but they seem to be in good condition with plenty of tread left. However, these tires are dangerous in winter conditions. They do not grip on snow and they are absolutely dangerous if there is any ice on the roads. I have driven in Minnesota and North Dakota since I got my driver's license and these tires are probably the most dangerous tires I've ever had. This morning (10/31/2023) we had just a little bit of frozen sleet on the roads from last night and it shouldn't have impacted my driving much, but going over 35mph caused slipping and loss of traction. My 2WD Pontiac sedan has much older, more worn tires and handles ice better than my 4WD Chevrolet Tahoe with these tires. I am emailing you so that you are aware that there is a potential issue with these tires. I have already contacted the manufacturer of these tires.

There is no moisture in the headlight and I don't see any electrical shorting on the harness. Malfunctioning headlights are a huge safety concern for my family and every other vehicle on the road. Also, my wife has gotten pulled over several times because of this. Almost every Chevy SUV and truck of the same year I see on the road have headlights out as well.

The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic and had the door repaired. Recently, the contact stated that while loading groceries into his vehicle, the front passenger’s side door failed to open. The failure persisted, and while making a right turn at 25 MPH, the front passenger door inadvertently opened without warning and almost hit another vehicle. The contact was able to pull over and shut the door. The contact took the vehicle back to the same mechanic where the first repair was performed and made an appointment to have the vehicle repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

I purchased a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ around July 10th, 2021 from an individual in Georgia. The vehicle has been immaculately maintained with no damages on it at all. I had researched any recalls on the vehicle before I even looked at it. I found that there was one for an airbag problem. Long story short, I purchased the vehicle and the previous owner took it for the recall issue to be repaired before I picked it up. About 2 weeks after I got it, I noticed that the dashboard was vibrating and that was not anything that was happening when I purchased it. I thought it might just be loose. I’m only 5 feet tall so I could not see over the domed instrument panel when driving. It was only when my daughter drove it that she was the one who noticed the very large crack. It’s cracked on both sides with the largest being on the driver’s side. The crack covers the entire dashboard from the windshield to the dome over the instrument panel. I feel that this is a serious safety issue. I have recently discovered that there was a lawsuit against GM asking for these vehicles to be recalled for this problem. Apparently it happens quite a bit!! I called the dealership that repaired the airbag issue but of course they couldn’t or wouldn’t help me. I know these dashboards are expensive to replace..upwards of $2000. I wanted to file a complaint because as I said earlier, this is a safety concern for me. Can you help?

Similar to many other complaints previously filed, the dash board on my 2014 Tahoe has numerous cracks. The cracks were first identified in April 2018 and have continued to grow in size and number. It has been inspected by a Riverside Chevrolet in Wetumpka, AL but this is not a part of a current safety recall. There is significant and growing concern that if the vehicle is involved in an accident that the passenger-side airbag will not work properly (having been cut by sharp pieces of the broken dash) or will propel pieces of the dash toward the occupants of the vehicle. This needs to be investigated so that GM will be forced to issue a safety recall for this known problem.

I AM WRITING TO YOU ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACEMENT OF MY DASHBOARD . I USE THE OCTOBER DATE AS WE HAVE NOTICED THE CRACKS OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS DIRECTLY ABOVE WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE 10000 MEMBERS ON A CRACKED DASHBOARD SITE ON FACEBOOK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THIS. I AM CONCERNED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THEY CAN BE IMPAILEDED WITH HARD PIECES OF PLASTIC. I LOVE MY 2014 TAHOE LTZ AND HAS PLANNED ON TRADING IT IN ON A NEW TAHOE OR SUBURBAN. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL IMPACT MY RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND IM OF THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS AND FIX IT. I AM WORKING WITH MY DEALER BUT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CANNOT REALLY DETERMINE WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MOTION ETC. I JUST BELIEVE THAT THE CRACKING HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME. I USE A SUN VISOR FOR THE MOST PART AND LIVE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA SO IT WE DO NOT HAVE EXTREME HEAT FOR THE MOST PART.

THEN THE ENGINE TURNED OFF WHICH MADE IT COME TO A SUDDEN HARD STOP. THE ENGINE RESTARTED ON ITS OWN.

I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO GO INSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP TO LET THE MANAGER KNOW WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. THE MANAGER TOLD US TO PULL THE CAR AROUND TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I DID A SEARCH AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2014 CHEVROLET TAHOES FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE IT TO STALL. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER THE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD TO CLOSE FOR A WHILE BECAUSE OF COVID-19, BUT WHEN THEY REOPENED THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL; THEREFORE, GM WILL NOT PAY FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.

DEFECTIVE CRACKED DASHBOARD. THE CRACK CONTINUES TO EXTEND AND IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD POTENTIALLY PUNCTURE THE AIR BAG, GREATLY COMPROMISING SAFETY. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRITTLE DASHBOARD COULD BECOME SHARP FLYING PIECES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET IN MAY 2018 TO REPORT THE CRACK AND WAS GIVEN A QUOTE FOR ALMOST $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. PLENTY OF DATA SHOWS THAT THE DEFECT OF GM DASHBOARDS CRACKING IS WIDESPREAD, HOWEVER, GM FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR FAULT AND RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. I AM CONTACTING YOU AS A CONCERNED OWNER AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED BY GM OR THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THEY ALL HAVE TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE ISSUE. I HOPE THIS MESSAGE DOES NOT FALL IN DEAF EARS AND YOU CAN ASSIST ME IN SOLVING THIS HAZARDOUS SITUATION I AM IN DUE TO GM LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.

Investigations

Investigations are agency reviews, not findings that a vehicle is defective.

Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture

From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.
