9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/17/2024

I was in minor accident this past December. The airbag ruptured and cut up my face. I was extremely confused as to how this could happen and after doing a little research, I found out that the vehicle has an open recall for their air bags. I was extremely shook by this information because we were never notified for such a life threatening recall! I contacted gm over 3 weeks ago. The first person I spoke with expressed that she needed to escalate the issue to the right place and that someone would contact me. A week went by and I did not hear anything so I called, I was told that it was sent to the wrong place but they were going to make sure the matter would be sent to the correct department and that they would reach out to me within a few business days. I have not heard from another person at gm since.

Failure Date: 08/19/2024

There has been a recall in effect since 5/10/23 - NHTSA recall no. 23v3344; manufacturer recall no. N232404980, and there still is no remedy. I have spoken to our local dealership several times, called the GMC manufacturer today, 8/19/24, and was told there is "no remedy yet; they are working on it. With this enormous safety recall, it is hazardous for drivers to utilize their vehicles without remedy. What can you do to get this pushed through? how many lawsuits will it take for GMC to "remedy" this issue?.

26 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2024

I'm reporting on the timeliness of known recall #n232404980. It has been about a year since I've received the initial recall notice. I've contacted the dealer twice to see to check the status of the recall and they have stated that the parts are not yet available and they don't know when the parts will become available. I contacted the dealer approx. 6-7 months after receiving the initial recall notice and then again about 5 months later (that was today). The current status of the recall "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available" I'm not sure what is considered 'timely' with a recall of this nature but after a year it might be prudent for the manufacturer to issue an update stating the time frame when the parts should start to come available. While looking for this information, I attempted to find the information on the manufacturer's website but the page timed out and I was not able to find out any more information about this recall from the manufacturer or other sources. I found the following statement from the NHTSA while seeking information from the NHTSA website about this recall: "if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline 1-888-327-4236 or tty: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with NHTSA. " this is the reason I am filing this online complaint. I would like the dealer to provide an update on when the parts will be available for this recall. It's a little uncomfortable knowing that we're driving around with an instrument (airbag/airbag inflator) that is supposed to save lives but it may actually cause death instead, if activated.

30 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/23/2024

The airbag recall was acknowledged 3 years ago and there is still no "remedy" for the dangerous recall. After 3 years with no solution, that is far from "timely manner" for this problem. (as a mother with three small children in the car, the airbags are the most important safety feature).
