Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was making a left turn at an intersection when another vehicle slammed into my truck head on. My air bags did not even deploy. Although my vehicle was the larger of the two, I expected the bags to do their intended job, but they failed to do so. This was one year after the recall and general motors still don't have a remedy for the air bags”
NHTSA complaint #10966432, filed 2017-03, 215,000 miles“The interior dash is cracking. The cracks are severe around the airbag and instrument cluster. Based on my research, this is a problem with thousands of chevy vehicles 2007-2013. The cracks around the airbags are a definate safety hazard if the airbags deploy. Sharp plastic pieces of the dash could act as projectiles. This appears to be a design problem with chevy's dash.”
NHTSA complaint #10854441, filed 2016-04, 72,000 miles“The dash around the airbag is cracked. This is very common on 2007-2013 GM vehicles. It is clearly a manufacturers defect, considering nine times out of ten they are broken. The dash is cracked to the point where if the airbag went off, I would not feel safe, in fear of shrapnel coming from the dash being in front of the inflating air bags. Local dealer offered no fix, aside from an over $1,000 out of pocket repair. This is unacceptable.”
NHTSA complaint #10735415, filed 2015-07, 200,000 miles“Paint is peeling from front hood. Separate research suggests this is a commonly reported problem with this model resulting from improper priming and finish coat paint procedure applied at the factory - defect. What can be done to resolve this issue?”
NHTSA complaint #10654324, filed 2014-11, 70,000 miles“Paint peeling from front hood. Research suggests this is a very common factory defect related to improper priming paint and finish coat preparation procedure. I have a fleet of 4 vehicles and most are experiencing this problem. What can be done?”
