“I received a recall on july 2016 and to this day nothing has been done I fear for my safety when driving my vehicle and god forbid I get into an accident with faulty airbags please advise asap and now I received a card in the mail regarding a lawsuit and to have my airbag(s) replaced at no cost to me immediately”
NHTSA complaint #11039560, filed 2017-10, 126,000 miles“My wife was in an accident where the at-fault driver ran a red light and t-boned her drivers side front door and pillar area while crossing an intersection. Our car was hit hard enough to where the floor board and fire wall are wrinkled. Not one air bag deployed. The toyota truck that struck my wifes car had it's air bags deployed. The auto body shop is telling me, because of the hard impact the vehicle is a total loss.”
NHTSA complaint #11269104, filed 2019-10, 94,000 miles“My dashboard has cracked and is now in many pieces. I know it is expensive to replace so I've glued and taped it together to the best of my ability. The dash rattles and shakes throughout any trip I take. I love my car! I want it to be 'healed'. It's very distracting to drive with your dash making all that noise. If I'm ever in an accident, even ever so small, I'm sure parts of that dash will go flying and hurt the driver and/or passenger. I also don't know how safely contained my dash-airbag is. …”
NHTSA complaint #11403976, filed 2021-03, 40,000 miles“Our 2010 Gmc Yukon recently developed a crack in the dashboard near the passenger side airbag. We are concerned for the safety of those passengers riding in the front passenger seat. If the airbags were to deploy, hard plastic dash material could injury passengers. This is a safety hazard that GM does not seem to want to address. We purchased this vehicle new, which has been garaged its entire service life.”
NHTSA complaint #10760115, filed 2015-08, 79,810 miles“The dashboard is cracking in multiple places by the airbags. I am concerned that there will be shards of plastic flying at me/my family should an airbag deploy. The cracks are growing and happen at a standstill and while driving. I know this is a known problem with 2007-2013 dashes because there is a facebook group with over 4000 members who own GM products (Yukon, tahoe, silverado etc) they are all having the same problem!!”
