6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2024

I was curious about recalls because I totaled my 15 Acadia slt2 and when I hit the impact didn’t deploy airbags and I had no idea until after my accident that they were recalled!!! this incident totaled my Acadia caused my face to be slammed into my steering wheel, cutting me in 2 places and shattering my eye glasses. I now have a scar that looks like a 2nd chin from my impact to hitting the steering column! what should I do? I wasn’t or hadn’t received anything from GMC about this recall until recently and damage has already been done and I’m at a loss of tremendous amounts because my air bags could have saved $300+ glasses and doctors appointments etc….

Failure Date: 03/01/2024

I have been trying to get this recall done for 1 year. I have placed 3 calls over this time and they say the part is on back order. This is dangerous as it is a recall on the driver airbag. A year is too long to wait. Please advise on what can be done. Dealership: GMC thompson raleigh, nc.

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/29/2024

I am writing a complaint in reference to the already issued recall number 23v334, for the Acadia's and their airbags. It states that if the remedy is not taken care of or whatever the wording about a timely manner, to reach out and this recall was issued in may after already being aware for some time, and now we are approaching the one-year mark and they still have absolutely no remedy available for the Acadia and they are slow rolling each model out to save money. I am literally driving around with a ticking time bomb in front of my face with the potential to kill me according to its own wording and according to the own manufacturer reading back the identical wording while they're telling you that they have no option available there is no new airbag that they have worked on in the 8 plus months since recall, and there's literally nothing I can do to ensure my safety so I am officially lodging another complaint for the safety of this already known issue that is not been remedy and whereas there appears to be no active and serious engagement and producing something. This is completely unacceptable and something needs to be done about it as there are plenty of people out here with the same potential hazard right in front of them each and every day they're entering this vehicle.

A TSB for this exact issue was the charge for the repair is dated 04/07/2015, but I was never notified about an existing issue that could disable an airbag.

27 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2023

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.

28 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/05/2023

Since this recall, in the last month my car now is telling me air bags need to be serviced. I am scared to drive in fear I get hit and the shards will erupt. This is a ticking time bomb. I get told by GMC parts are not available, then I get told they don't know what the fix is; which one is it. I have asked them to give me a substantial owners loyalty compensation so I can get a new vehicle and they keep dragging their feet. I am not the only person in this but this is damn right scary. Give us 7500k as compensation towards a new gm or chevy vehicle. I need answers. I have spoken to them 9 times and have documented each call. This is over the last 5 -6 weeks.
