| Seat Belt problems |
The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that while at a stop, the vehicle experienced a loss of automotive power. In addition, the contact stated that upon further inspection, the fuel gauge failed to properly display the fuel level. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a local independent mechanic, where the unknown repairs were made; however, the traction control, abs, stabili-trak, and seat belt warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. In addition, the contact related the failure to NHTSA campaign: 14v614000 (electrical system), 14v266000 (seat belts), 21v246000 (air bags), and 14v223000 (electrical system, fuel system, gasoline); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
The passenger side seatbelt warning chimed to indicate a passenger was not wearing a seatbelt and the passenger airbag on/off light toggled back and forth when no passenger was in the car in the seat. This resolved spontaneously by the next day, now the service airbag soon notice and warning light is lit up on the dashboard. The car has not been in any accident that would cause the airbag to deploy or activate. I see that a previous recall was announced in 2014 for the 2009-2013 models of GMC Acadia, but my specific Acadia is a 2014 model. There are no active recalls listed for my vehicle, however an airbag malfunction is a serious concern for GMC Acadia owners. This issue just started and I have not visited a dealer yet.
In short, the buckle spring or suspension disconnected or collapse. Went to buckle the belt in and it would not latch. There is a recall noted for 2014 GMC Acadia seat belts and we are being told our vehicle that is a 2014 GMC Acadia purchased 04/2014 is not within that recall. How does the buckle just disconnect? we've had cars older than this with absolutely no issues. Being charged $200-$300 for this. 2014 GMC Acadia recall - #14v266000 recall for seat belts general motors is recalling certain model year 2009-2014 Buick enclave vehicles manufactured April 14, 2008, through may 14, 2014, Chevrolet traverse vehicles manufactured June 6, 2008, through may 14, 2014, and GMC Acadia vehicles manufactured April 9, 2008, through may 14, 2014, and 2009-2010 Saturn outlook vehicles manufactured April 14, 2008, through March 18, 2010.
The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 14v266000 (seat belts). However, the dealer cut off the top piece, leaving the cable without a cover. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The VIN was not provided. The failure mileage was approximately at 8,000. The VIN was not available.
I purchased a 2014 Acadia that was part of NHTSA campaign number: 14v266000. The car was delivered to me without the recall being performed. This is in direct violation of the stop sale notice on the recall. The dealership now wants the car back ASAP to fix the recall, but the are still in direct violation of the law. Gm is arrogant and denies that this can happen in their system. Gm's system needs to be fixed as well. I have emails and voicemails that back up this information.
The contact owns a 2014 GMC Acadia. The contact stated that the dealer did not have the part available for NHTSA campaign id number: 14v266000 (seat belts). The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer was also contacted and could not provide an estimated date for when the contacts vehicle would receive the recall repair. The VIN was not available. The contact did not experience a failure.
General motors has announced a safety recall for this vehicle. The number for this campaign is 14187. Gm considers this defect serious enough to issue a "stop sell" for the affected vehicles. Nhtsa regulations provide the manufacturer a "reasonable" period of time to notify owners. Define reasonable! in 21 may 2014 gm refused to provide me any information with respect to resolution. On 22 may 2014 the dealers had not been informed of what actions would be required. In this day and age, for a defect serious enough to result in a stop sell order, there is no excuse for this level of delay. If my son is killed or injured as a result of inaction by gm or NHTSA, the consequences will not be pleasant. Also be advised I have yet to receive notification of gm recall number 14007 announced on 05 may 2014. I demand more timely action from NHTSA and gm with respect to recall number 14187. Conduct yourselves accordingly.
