Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My airbag light remains on, indicating that there is a problem. The dealer claims that the bag will either not deploy, or suddenly deploy for no reason unless I replace it. I was told this was not part of the recalls...but it is clearly a safety issue. I don't feel that I should pay for the replacement.”
NHTSA complaint #10723057, filed 2015-06, 38,000 miles“I was in accident on saturday february 4, 2012 in my 2004 Envoy Xuv. I was traveling approx. 40 MPH when another car pulled in front of me and within 1 second I t-boned the side of their car. My airbags did not deploy. Fortunately all I ended up with was minor bruses from the steering wheel and the seatbelt strap. This was to be the best engineered SUV Gmc had ever made and I was shocked the airbags did not deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #10446772, filed 2012-02, 160,000 miles“I got a defected passenger airbag code from mechanic. I just want to make sure this is not an issue with the recall on airbags up to 2003 on my vehicle. This code comes up regularly for my vehicle.”
