Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Seat belt failure! Vehicle was parked, I went to put on my seatbelt (driver side) and cable attachment part at base of seatbelt separated. I bought this vehicle new and it has never been in an accident, had any damage or any work done to driver side seat. Vehicle is only 5 years old and currently has 56,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #11282043, filed 2019-11, 56,000 miles“In the fall of 2020, I received a service bulletin regarding my seatbelt and potential issue with the pre-tensioner cable that could fail. Unable to get into the shop, I continued to drive. One day, I reached over to the passenger seat the the cable snapped leaving me 90 miles from my home without a working seatbelt. When I went to a dealership, they charged me for the repair even though the bulletin indicated it was covered.”
NHTSA complaint #11386572, filed 2021-01, 125,000 miles“Gm has recall 14315 for my year make and style of vehicle. They tell me that my VIN is not listed for this recall. My vehicle has the problems listed in this recall. All sounds do not work including the seat beat reminder, the door open reminder and all vehicle sounds from the speakers. Gm will not repair it as my VIN does not come up in there system for this recall. How can my VIN be included for this serious safety issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11170107, filed 2019-01, 62,000 miles“Bought my vehicle 2 months ago and airbag light and airbag service light came on. Went to get checked out and the passenger retractable sensor is bad and needs fixed. This should not be an issue with my newer truck.”
NHTSA complaint #11110935, filed 2018-07, 42,300 miles“The vehicle was a total loss. Loss control while avoiding a deer. Slid into ditch. Hit a driveway entrance. Was airborne approx. 15 yards. Nose dived into the ground and went back across the ditch into a field, turned left and went into a wooded area of pines. Left front fender made contact with a pine ( about eight inches thick ) partially up rooting and continued on to wedge between two pines. Air bags failed to deploy and the seat belt tighten up so tight that I had to use a fairly large screw drive, that I had in the center console, to beat the release in order to unlock the seat belt. …”
