Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Takata recall; I've contacted multiple Gmc dealerships to be sure I'm being given the same story from all, but all say GM has not yet come up with a resolution for the recall. This is a family vehicle which we put lots of miles on. Purchased it for it's safety record so this is quite disturbing. When will this, if ever, get resolved?”
NHTSA complaint #11061364, filed 2018-01, 100,000 miles“I have had my airbag light on for atleast 4 years and Gmc said that there is no fix for this yet. I got a recall notice in the mail but they said there is no parts. Can you please help me. Its a takata airbag”
NHTSA complaint #11377247, filed 2020-12, 70,000 miles“While I was driving the stabilitrak off light flashed on the dashboard, including the traction control off. This has shut down my car on the highway several times since 2016. When I took it to the dealership, it would reset itself and the codes would go away temporarily. The dealership recommended to change the engine control module and cables. I had to get towed off the highway as this happens so randomly. The repair shop says that it is a mystery to them as they have called their Gmc specialty technicians for advice. …”
NHTSA complaint #11384423, filed 2020-12, 80,000 miles“The dash board on my 2007 Gmc yukon denali is cracked right above the air bag on the passenger side and above the instrument panel on the driver side. I feel that if the air bag was to deploy on the passenger side with could be a major safety issue due to the fact the plastic pieces from dashboard could break loose while air bag explodes and cause more injury to the passengers of the vehicle. I feel this need to be a safety recall from GM. The vehicle is operational and the cracks have happened over time.”
NHTSA complaint #11081568, filed 2018-03, 150,000 miles“Takata recall, potential serious injury or death may occur with use of this vehicle. For two years I have attempted to have the air bags replaced and have been told that the parts are not available. Last attempt was 8-29-19.”
