general problems of the 2014 Buick Enclave - part 1

I am not sure if I have the correct form. I puchased a 2014 Buick Enclave from group 1 Toyota 20465 southwest fwy, richmond, TX 77469. The dealership sold me this vehicle without addressing the safety recall. They claim it is not their responsibility.

I got the notice air bag recall and GMC said it's passenger front seat side . They said it's discontinued and wana use another 1 and charge me 500. 00 plus labor. I just paid 398. 00 for them to tell me this don't think that's fair what can I do if it's a recall I paid for nothing.

I was involved in an accident that myself and my passenger were injured in due to our airbags not deploying and because of this we both hit our heads. I hit the steering wheel they hit the dashboard and side windows.

I was notified of the recall may 10,2023 manufacturer recall numbern232404980 NHTSA recall number23v334 by mail. I called my Buick dealer and was told they had the part. I set up an appointment and took my car in for the repair, and was told they made a mistake and didn't have the part after all and that they would let me know when they got it in. I guess now all I can do is sit and wait to be notified, however long that will take. 2014 Buick Enclave leather [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S.

The vehicle was taken to a local dealer however, the parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.

Purchased vehicle almost a year ago with mobile dealership telling me they were unable to have air bags replaced due to lack of parts from manufacturer. I have been in contact every few months with local dealership (mullinax in montgomery, al) checking on status of recalled airbags. July 2025 I received a letter from general motors to contact local dealer as airbags were available for recall. I did so and dealership confirmed part and scheduled appointment for repair for a month later. On date of appointment I was on time delivering vehicle as they confirmed it would take most of the day. Three hours later I was called saying there was no airbags available to me and that I would have to be put on a waiting list as one was ordered. I have read where these malfunction causing major damage to vehicle which dealerships and gm do not cover. I cannot afford this type of damage and don't understand how a month goes by where you have the part and then on the day of repair you don't.

See attached document for complaint. In June 2023, I received a safety recall from gm, identified with the number n232404980, informing me that my 2014 Buick Enclave SUV, VIN : had a dangerous defect in the front-driver airbag inflater. The letter stated that the necessary parts to repair my vehicle were not available on that date. For the past two years, I have been calling the dealers closest to my address, and they always give me the same response: "we don't have that spare part available yet" and that I should keep waiting . Two years have passed since their recall, and they still have not resolved my problem. Therefore, I am writing this letter so that you know that I am awaiting soon repair, and also to record that they are aware of the situation and that, therefore, gm is responsible for any safety issues that may arise due to your failure to guarantee the means of correcting the aforementioned defect in my car.

I received notice of this recall June 2023. Today still no resolution. My car display often shows service airbag soon but I'm still waiting. Why should it take 2 years for a resolution?.

I am submitting this statement regarding an ongoing issue with the driver seat airbag in my vehicle. The airbag warning light continues to illuminate intermittently. I have had the issue looked at multiple times by my mechanic. He has replaced parts underneath the seat in an effort to resolve the problem, but the warning light still returns. At times, the light will go off temporarily, only to come back on again later. I have noticed that the only way the light sometimes changes is when I move the seat back and forth. There is no other visible damage underneath the seat, and no other cause has been identified. Despite repeated repair attempts, the issue remains unresolved, and I am concerned about the reliability and safety of the airbag system.

Service airbag light came on one week before airbags in the front driver in front passenger side ruptured on their own in the middle of driving. This is cars the seat belts and the front seats to lock up and we now have no airbags. We did bring it in to see if we could get it at least the steering wheel one replaced because of the recall but the dealership (todd wenzel) and grand rapids michigan stated that they refused to do it because they thought we were in an accident but you can clearly see we were not in an accident. The vehicle was also sold to me by a dealership that did not disclose the airbags had a recall and I did not find out until after the purchase was made.

Unable to trade-in my vehicle with the open recall that has been 15 months. The resale price to a private buyer or second tier auto dealer will only yield a sales price of less than half of the cars value.

This has been under a recall for more than a year, and yet there is no remedy time in the near future. Calls to gm simply state that they do not know when they will be able to repair the vehicle. It seems that if gm is continuing to produce cars with airbags that they could at least replace those that are under the recall, rather than inserting them into new cars. Instead, they choose to profit with the new vehicles and leave those impacted by the recall driving in potentially dangerous, if not fatal, vehicles.

The recall has been active on my vehicle for over a year now with no means of fixing the issue. I have contacted Buick dealerships in my area and they have stated they have no ability to repair the recall and do not know when or if they will be able to. I do not know what my options are as my vehicle is still financed through my bank but I do not feel safe driving it or having my children in the car.
