Filing a complaint on a drivers airbag recall, im an owner of a GMC Acadia 2017. This recall was generated back in may 2023. Its now 27 sept 2023. I called Buick and was told "parts werent available yet", I then called GMC and was told "theres no remedy".

I was notified of the air bag recall in June 2023, and no action has been taken on this problem yet. My concern is, of course, if I'm an accident and the air bag deploys and metal is scattered thru out the inside of the car the end result will be disastrous to whom ever is inside my car.

53 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2023

I have been waiting over a year to get my recall airbag fixed. I was sold a defective car and would hope that it would get fixed ASAP especially knowing that if I am in an accident, I could get killed or anyone else in my car could. This is unacceptable. I received a recall letter in may 2023 and today at the emissions testing was told to go get it fixed. I looked up what to do in the GMC website and they make it sound like I just call the dealership and they will fix it. That is not true, I was told there is no solution. I am driving a car that could kill me or any passenger in my car and have been for over a year. I called my dealership, GMC corporate and was told by both of them they would let me know when a part would be available but as of right now there is nothing. I believe it is negligent to have a recall that could cause death and it take this long. It’s not like a little light bulb that is broken. I am very upset and nervous to drive my car knowing the tragedy it could cause.

65 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2017

Horn is so hard to push no one in my family can sound horn guys at dealer could not get it to sound without excessive force this is highly dangerous no one at the dealer or GMC will fix it they say it was the way it was designed again very dangerous some one needs to fix this flaw before someone dies in an accident because they were unable to sound horn to avoid collision I would have never imaged buying a brand new car I would have unresolved safety concerns with the answer from GMC and the dealer being we aren't fixing it so I guess you shouldn't drive it that's the fix not to drive my one and only brand new car how about GMC or the dealer making my brand new car safe and fixing their problem!!!!! there needs to be a recall for this horn.

66 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 06/14/2017

The 2017 GMC Acadia horn takes an unreasonable amount of force to engage. This has been noted by several users. My spouse had a semi truck come into her lane a day ago and could not get horn to sound to warn other driver. GMC dealership investigated and said its just the way the assembly works in this model. I believe this represents a safety issue as it makes the horn unusable when you need it quickly and without taking your eyes off the road. Gm is saying to bad.
