GM has not yet fixed the driver's side air bag problem, by replacing it per GM Safety Recall # N232404980. We purchased this vehicle from Folsom Buick GMC, 12640 Auto Mall Cir., Folsom, CA 95630. It had 7,000 miles on it when purchased in 2014. The mileage now is 180,236., & it is TEN YEARS LATER! The below dealers have completed numerous work orders on this vehicle over the last 10 years except for #4 because my wife & I recently moved to Arizona. 1. Folsom Buick GMC, Folsom, CA PH: 916-400-2884. 2. Reliable Buick GMC, 400 Automall Dr., Roseville, CA. PH: 916-783-5233. 3. Cal Worthington Chevrolet, 350 Automall Dr., Roseville. PH: 916-945-9142. 4. Henry Brown Buick GMC, 1550 E. Drivers Way, Gilbert, AZ. PH: 480-630-3917. Without exception, each one of these dealers said that they cannot fix it because General Motors has not supplied the part(s) to remedy the problem. Per news reports over a decade +/- , this brand of defective driver's air bag can, and has, caused fatal injuries to drivers involved in accidents that caused the air bag to deploy. I would appreciate it very much if the NHTSA can, and will, cause (force) General Motors to replace this defective item, or supply a replacement vehicle that will not kill the driver should he/she be involved in an accident. Thank you. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Nothing has happened yet, however this recall has been known for almost a year and GM is not working to resolve the issue. They only state that there is no ETA on the remedy. The agent also lied to me about when the recall was issued. He told me February of 2024 and my letter was sent and dated June 2023.

Our airbags have been recalled since May 2023. There is no remedy available. I requested GMC to buyback the vehicle, and they denied. They said they have no solution for me.

NHTSA ODI 11577768

In March 2024 I received a letter from GM saying "that parts are now available to repair your vehicle" relating to the 2023 airbag recall. However, the local GM dealer advised me that while it placed an order for these parts 11 days ago, it still has not received the parts and told me that GM has provided no "ETA" for when these parts would be received. GM has failed to replace the airbag component(s) within a reasonable period of time and as of this writing I have no idea when the parts will truly be available. As a result, our family continues to be at risk from a potentially exploding airbag.

Received a safety recall notice for my 2014 Acadia due to a faulty airbag in June 2023 and GMC still hasn't provided a fix. The noticed states- the front-driver airbag inflator may contain a supplier manufacturing defect that may result in inflator rupture during deployment. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. It has been almost a year since the notice was mailed and posted and this is not a matter that has been corrected in a timely matter.
