I am filing a complaint for the Takata air bag replacement. The recall was issued in May, 2023. It is now October and GM does not have a date when they can fix it. 5 months to come up with a repair parts for a airbag that could kill my family seems a bit to long. They will not offer a loaner car, special rebate, etc. GM just expects us to drive around with a possible grenade right in front of our chest.

Recall Number: 23V334000. GMC Acadia General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014-2017 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles. The driver's air bag inflator may explode during deployment, due to a manufacturing defect. Recall consequence An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. Recall action. Dealers will replace the driver's air bag module, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 26, 2023. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N232404980. I have called and spoke with GMC in Gurnee Illinois and was told "there is no remedy for this recall". I will be driving upwards of 11 hours and feel it is unsafe and unreasonable for them to not change something that could be potentially deadly.

I received a letter 2 months for a fix for airbag recall; however, there still isn’t a fix. GMC is refusing to do anything and they insist that it’s safe for me to continue driving my car when they know that the driver side airbag is unsafe. They said it will get fixed whenever they get the parts and just continue driving it until then.

No airbags deployed in the event of an accident. As a result of hydroplaning, my vehicle's drivers' side slammed into the concrete median on the highway before spinning out across the highway. I would have expected side/curtain airbags to deploy which would have prevented my children from hitting their heads on the windows during impact.

Filing a complaint with NHTSA that GM does not have a date when the front driver airbag can be replaced per recall Number [XXX]. This is a very dangerous airbag currently in my 2015 GM Arcadia [XXX] . The vehicle is not safe to drive and per phone call with GM customer service today 8/3/2023 there is no date when parts/replacement airbag will be available to order to replace the current airbag and eliminate the daily dangerous situation every time I drive this vehicle. This is UNACCEPTABLE since problems with these Takata airbags have been existing since 1999!!!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 GMC Acadia Limited verdict →
