2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD Recalls & Complaints

Incident: January 23, 2018 · Filed: January 23, 2018

THE GM RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY, 2016, IT IS NOW JANUARY 2018 AND STILL NO REMEDY. THEY HAVE BEEN BUILDING MORE NEW VEHICLES FOR 7 MORE MODEL YEARS, WHAT AIRBAGS ARE THEY USING IN THEM? AND NOW THEY STAND TO GET MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM TAKATA. WHO IS HELPING THE CONSUMER HERE? THIS MAKES NO SENSE. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THE AIRBAGS CANNOT BE REPLACED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.
