Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The airbag warning light activated and two separate service facilities confirmed the problem was with the seatbelt tensioner cable. This could put the driver at risk of serious injury in a collision as the seatbelt may not properly restrain the driver. This car has a recall for model years 2014-2016 for this exact issue, yet GM tells me that there is no recall on my 2017 vehicle with the same exact problem and that I must pay over $1100 to fix the issue. This is a very low volume vehicle. I have the same problem the recall was issued for. How can this not be covered by the recall?”

NHTSA complaint #11641420, filed 2025-02

“The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet City Express. The contact stated that while his sister’s husband was driving 65 MPH, the air bags deployed unexpectedly without impact. The contact’s sister sustained bruising to the shoulder and eardrum. In addition, the husband also sustained eardrum ringing due to the air bag deployment. No medical attention was required. No police report was filed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 122,000.”
