1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2025

It's been a year now I've been waiting for my 2017 chevy Traverse to replace the "safety recall" on driver's air bag inflator to be replace by this dealership. Their neglecting the safety issue that it may explode during deployment due to a manufacturing defect. They schedule me three times, one last year on my maintenance service and two times last month, ever since I got this "safety recall" notification from this dealership, after I waited at their waiting area for 2 hour, service will say to me that they have no replacement parts for my vehicle. Why schedule and tell me on text messages that you have the replacement part for my vehicle? you don't value your customers and you don't care about the safety of the driver. I'm not recommending a friend to buy on this dealership. Lucky a friend of mine ask, went to buy her first chevy tracks at bellevue, wa. I will never buy another chevy vehicle again from this dealership. Rude and unprofessional customer service, that's my overall experience.

Received recall notice, called dealer to make appointment for repair service, as the recall notice instructs, regarding airbag inflator and was told that there is "no remedy" at this time so no repair or replacement to airbag would be done at this time. I was told I would receive another notice when a remedy was decided on. I asked why couldn't my airbag be replaced and was told that, that was not the remedy.

19 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/07/2024

The complaint is gm has yet to provide parts for a recall issued in may 2023. It is August 2024. Anyone that drives our 2017 Traverse will/may put their life in real danger if there is an accident where the driver side air bag sends shrapnel out. There doesn't seem to be any urgency on gm's part to provide remedy. Gm's recall statement says to replace the airbag. So far, we have had zero incidents that would cause the airbag to inflate. Ticking time bomb.

Failure Date: 07/10/2024

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request: *drivers side airbag component malfunctioned the vehicle is available for inspection how was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? drivers side airbag component has been ruptured since 2024 and given that the bag could deploy and kill me the driver along with others in the car is very scary and dangerous has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? *I have been trying to have this resolved with capital Chevrolet in wake forest nc since sept of 2024. They keep giving me the runaround and even made an appointment for me this morning after multiple calls to have the recall resolved. I took my 2017 Traverse into the service department and received a call around 12:37 stating the "parts were not in the service center". I was told 2 days ago when the appointment was made that the parts were available to complete the recall. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? *only inspected by capital Chevrolet in wake forest twice (1st time when I took the Traverse in for the wheel recall then again today) were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? only warning lamp was for the wheel recall but not the drivers side airbag. The drivers side airbag component just popped loose around July 2024. I starting calling capital Chevrolet and finally reached a service advisor call center in sept 2024 to attempt to schedule an appointment.
