Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“At approx. 60k mileage it was noticed that the dashboard top left corner of the passenger airbag was cracked. Vehicle was brought to a GM dealership and it was replaced. At 113k mileage, the crack is now in the same exact place on the passenger airbag as well as on the drivers side. Because we are out of the 100k warranty GM refuses to pay. We are out of pocket $950 to replace with no assurance if left cracked it will not cause a safety hazard if airbag is deployed. This is the 4th GM vehicle with the exact crack.”
