Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dash cracked on corner of where the passenger airbag is located. This is a huge safety concern. I'm afraid that it will either prevent the airbag from deploying in a crash, or tear the airbag upon deployment, or worse, shoot projectiles of dash toward my children who are passengers.”
NHTSA complaint #10648645, filed 2014-10, 54,000 miles“The door handles on both the driver and passenger side have become so sharp that when trying to open the door they cut your finger. Both my wife and I have had our fingers cut from slight to very bloody. This appears that it is an ongoing problem that GM refuses to deal with.”
NHTSA complaint #10663189, filed 2014-12, 119,660 miles“I came out to a cracked dashboard this morning. The crack is right around the airbag and I'm concerned the cracked dash can either punture the airbag if deployed or send plastic peices flying at a high rate of speed”
NHTSA complaint #10935653, filed 2016-12, 80,000 miles“February 2014 I had noticed 3 cracks on my dash board, 2 of them being right by the passenger airbag. I have contacted GM to fix the issue before anything bad happens with the air bags. They want me to pay $900 to have this fixed but it is a safety issue. I am in constant worry if my air bags will deploy at any point in time due to the cracks. Or if I happen to get into an accident will my air bags not deploy or will there be a defect in the air bags due to plastic cutting the air bag open on deploy. …”
NHTSA complaint #10575161, filed 2014-03, 78,000 miles“The chrome plating on the front passenger door handle is separating from the door handle at the top of the handle, and is extremely sharp (caused cut to fingers on right hand); after this has happened I searched online for possible GM action to resolve and founds reports online of this being reported for 2007 and 2008 GM vehicles (although mine is a 2009). Investigation was supposedly started but cannot find results of this. Spoke to my Gmc dealer and they had no advisor's to rectify and would do so at cost.”
