Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The dash board of my vehicle has cracks in it. More and more cracks are beginning to develop over the airbag. I am worried about the airbag deploying with sharp plastic pieces pointing at it. I think this is a hazard to all drivers. Every GM truck/tahoe from 2007-2013 (that I have seen) have these ugly and dangerous cracks in them.”
NHTSA complaint #10873905, filed 2016-06, 20,000 miles“The windshield wipers will come on and not turn off. I have had it at the mechanic for this at least 5 times. It happens whenever it rains or the windsield or some part gets wet, like a car wash. After drying out, usually at least a few hours of no moisture, the wipers stay off. Takata recall - it's been at least 3 years and this is a truck I've driven for a quarter of a million miles - yet no response or fix available from Gmc”
NHTSA complaint #11104516, filed 2018-06, 111,000 miles“My dashboard is cracking around my passenger side air bag and also around my cluster readout. It appears very brittle and I'm worried it is going to send plastic everywhere if I am ever in a situation where my air bag is deployed”
NHTSA complaint #11165400, filed 2019-01, 114,157 miles“Recall notice air bag warning light is on all the time calling for service to the air bag. There are no parts yet to fix it. I believe the company is even out of business. Gmc what am I suppose to do now? How safe is it to drive????”
NHTSA complaint #11100054, filed 2018-06, 200,000 miles“Received safety recall on takata air bag in 07/2016. Have received no further communication. Called today for status and to update my mailing address since I moved from ca to ky in 01/2017. The girl I talked to stated I needed to do this through dmv. I did that in january! It's a state law! I wanted Gmc to also update. She was not the least bit accommodating. Also stated GM has not approved the cost of replacing the air bag. This is an urgent safety recall and a danger to me as I have to drive this vehicle. …”
