Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Service air bag light. A few months after I bought this vehicle the service air bag light started going on ocassionaly. Because it was so intermittant it could not be repaired. As soon as it was out of warranty it started staying on all the time and I was told at the dealer that the air bags weren't working so I had to pay $450 to get it repaired even though there had always been a problem since new. Vehicle now has 17,000 miles on it.”

“Dashboard cracked next to airbag my vehicle has 39,000 miles garage kept. I contacted dealership courtesy vermilion GM of abbeville, louisiana. Where I purchased it and they would not fix I then contacted GM senior advisor they would not fix it because they said I had extended warranty. I contacted extended warranty easy care purchased thru GM and they would not cover it also. There are thousands of GM vehicles that the dash has cracked my previous vehicle a GM sierra cracked in the same place and no recall has been done or bulletin to alarm customers. …”

“I had a front end collision at 25 MPH with a parked car. My airbag(s) did not deploy. The entire front end of my car was destroyed. The hood was crumpled and both front quarter panels damaged. The front doors are not easily opened due to the quarter panel damage. It is hard for me to understand how an impact at the speed I was traveling and the location of impact did not cause the airbag(s) to deploy. I had to be transported via ambulance from the scene and suffered a concussion from my head slamming down on the steering wheel.”

“This is not about what happened it's what could happen. I have a 2014 Yukon with less than 60,000 miles that has a crack near the passenger side airbag. I'm very concerned with the airbags potentially being torn if deployed, or plastic being projected if the airbag ever has to be deployed. I feel this is a safety issue. I have reached out to Gmc only to be told it's cosmetic and won't be covered, regardless of what I think or the concerns I have the case is closed. There is a facebook group with over 6,500 followers that have similar concerns with all concerns falling upon deaf ears. …”

“As I have owned several GMC Yukons in the past, I was familiar with their dashboards cracking even when still under warranty. However, when my 2014 Yukon dashboard cracked, just out of warranty, I was shocked at the cost to replace and install a new dashboard. Thus, the replacement dashboard and labor charge to install it was simply unfeasable. As the dashboard continued to crack during the summer, an alternative mentioned to me by a mechanic at the GMC dealership was a glued on cover called a dashskin. …”
