Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My vehicle has been recalled, and my local Chevrolet dealership has scheduled an appointment for 2 weeks from now. It is unacceptable to allow your customers to drive a vehicle that you designed with dangerous flaws for any amount of time. It is incomprehensible that this recall is not being taken with urgency and care. Someone has died because of this issue. In addition, GM appears to not feel any amount remorse for selling deathtrap vehicles to the american public.”
NHTSA complaint #10910935, filed 2016-10, 2,000 miles“Gotten into a minor accident and the airbags did not deploy and the seat belt tensioner did not work. No injuries since it was under 15mph, but I am concerned that this was caused from the defect before the recall effort.”
NHTSA complaint #10908345, filed 2016-09, 4,500 miles“I was driving approximately 25 MPH and hit a pot hole which resulted in the passenger and driver side air bag curtains deploying. There is no visible damage to tire or car”
