Example complaints

“Hello, I have a problem with the seat belt covers (2) coming off on the drive side middle seats. The Gmc dealer says that they are not concerned about the issue.

Seat belts are supposed to be sturdy and solid this is supposed to save our life if needed. I'm lost I see other complaints on line but no kinda of action is being taking. We need someone to help out the consumers. …”

“On october 8, 2015, our family was driving on I-85 near huntersville, nc. We were in our 2015 Gmc Acadia, which we'd bought new in august. We were in steady, moving traffic.

“The left outer seat belt cable broke when I tried to fasten it. I took to my dealership to have them inspect it. The only thing they seem to be concerned about was having to pay for the repair. I had it repaired it is the law in pa to wear a seat belt. I also contacted gmc but they didn't seem too concerned. I have the part that broke a the repair order and pictures.”
