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.

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.

I have taken this vehicle to 2 different mechanics for "stuttering" during driving. Many times it will state a problem with stabilizer and lose power causing me to pull over in traffic as soon as possible. When this happens in snow it has become dangerous. Lately it just stutters without stabilization. No one has been able to find problem and sensors have already been changed. These occur at speeds of 2 mph to 75 mph intermittently

Recall for air bag was issued in May or 2023. So far no information on repair time, etc. Local dealers unable to provide more information. We have a vehicle that is dangerous to drive and need help resolving the issue.

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.

This is regarding a safety recall and no parts being available at this time. I have contacted GM and the Bergstrom dealership multiple times without receiving answers. The original letter I received was from 6/2023. Please let me know if there is anything that can be done - GM should have to provide parts within a timely manner - 8 months and counting is far from acceptable when the letter states "may cause injury or death".

There has been a recall on my vehicle for 9 months and there is still not a resolution from GM. I have called every dealer near me to try and have this recall fixed as it is a major safety hazard. I could be seriously injured or killed if this is not fixed. GM says that do not yet have a resolution and this isn’t okay!

The rack unit is going out. It makes the vehicle suddenly jerk to the left at highway speeds. It could cause a collision if there is a car on the left or a head on collision if on a two lane road. It also increases the amount of force needed to steer at low speeds. I took to the mechanic and was told that it needed to be replaced and would be 2500+ dollars to repair it and that they could not do the repair their only recommendation was to take it to the dealer. So GM is not wanting to issue a recall because it would cost them a lot of money to fix it.

AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED SINCE MAY 2023 AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET. THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL, AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED NOW. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT THE COMPANY KEEPS SAYING THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS FOR 9 MONTHS WHEN PEOPLE COULD DIE FROM THIS.

GMC has not repaired this life threatening air bag issue and states there is nothing they can do at this time. Why can't GMC replace the defective driver's air bag module and resolve this issue immediately. This can be a life or death scenario to drive this vehicle.

NHTSA ODI 11569062

My safety and the safety of my family continues to be at risk due to GM’s failure to resolve this issue nearly a year after the recall was issued. I’ve been patient, but this is unacceptable to still have no timeline for resolution.

I have 2 concerns and issues with my vehicle. 1st is the rear turn signal bulb and housing, I have read forums and researched the issue and many others have had the same issues and concerns, water is getting into the housing and is causing the bulb to blow and can possibly be causing fire/electrical with the wiring. 2nd is the front headlights the plastic round covering that's in surrounding the the glass that the light sits behind is melting and is causing visibility issues as well as potential fire. I can imagine why the plastic would be installed so close to a glass covering that holds heat. I really think that GMC needs to evaluate these concerns not only for safety but also the expense of the turn signal bulb that has been designed and cost over $100 because it couldn't be a simple bulb like most others. Also I have been informed of a recall of the airbag and can't get it fixed because the dealerships haven't been sent the part! I would like to be notified that someone has aknowledged my concern. Thanks
