MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING BACK FROM STORE IN A 08 GMC SIERRRA. AS SHE APPROACHED RED LIGHT BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED! NO ONE ELSE IN THE VEHICLE.

MY SIERRA DEVELOPED A NOISE ON DECELERATION. TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT HAD A WORN CAM. $5500 TO REPAIR, $7750 TO REPLACE ENGINE. I KNEW THAT A WORN CAM WOULD CAUSE LIFTER NOISE ALL THE TIME SO THAT WAS WRONG INFO. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION I FOUND OUT THIS TRUCK HAS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT. WHAT HAPPENED WAS A FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS TRUCK ALWAYS HAD HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. I DEACTIVATED THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THE TRUCK RUNS ON ALL 8 CYLINDERS, IS COMPLETELY QUIET AND NO LONGER USES OIL. IT IS BETTER THAN NEW. I ALSO FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS SIMILAR TO MY AND PAID FOR EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. THIS ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT IS NOTHING MORE THAN A SCAM TO FALSELY INCREASE FUEL MILEAGE AND TO RIP OFF CUSTOMERS WHEN IT GOES BAD. IT CAN BE DEACTIVATED WITH A $175 CHIP.

SEVERELY CRACKED DASH. CRACKED IN 5 PLACES. WORRIED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF PASSENGER AIRBAG IS EVER DEPLOYED.
2049151 I WOULD LIKE MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED BEFORE IT KILLS OR SERIOUS INJURES SOMEONE. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM A LONG TIME AGO.
ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND FRONT LEFT OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. IF AIRBAG GOES OFF SHARDS ARE GOING TO FLY AT FACES. SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND IS NOT AESTHETICALLY PLEASING MAKING A FINE GM VEHICLE LOOK SLOPPY
I HAVE HAD A "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" PENDING ON MY TRUCK SINCE JULY 2016. GMC IS NOT REPAIRING THE CONDITION AND TELLS ME I'M ON THE LIST FOR A FIX. GMC APPEARS TO BE DELAYING AN IMPORTANT FIX. MY LOCAL MECHANIC SAYS THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE.
DEALER STATED GM WAS NOT REPLACING AIR BAGS
CRACKED DASHBOARD EFFECTING AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE STATIONARY AT RESIDENCE IN DRIVEWAY.
MY HUSBAND WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WE CONTACTED GMC THEY SENT SOMEONE TO INVESTIGATE. THAT PERSON SAID DUE TO SOME WATER LEAKING IN ON THEM IS WHAT CAUSED IT. NOTHING WAS WET THOUGH. NOW THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP. SEEMS LIKE IF THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A DEFECT IN THE FRONT AIRBAGS IT IS A CHANCE THE SIDE ONES ARE ALSO BAD. THEY HANG LIKE CURTAINS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT SINCE THE SEATBELTS LOCKED ALSO. THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE $6000. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WAS NO FAULT OF OURS. THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH TIME PUT INTO TRYING TO GET THIS RESOLVED. WE CANT E THE ONLY ONES THIS HAPPENED TO. SUGGESTION?
TAKATA RECALL WHY HAVE THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES BEEN NEGLECTED AND NO REPAIRS SOLUTIONS HAS BEEN OFFERED?
TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL HAS BEEN PENDING FOR YEARS. WEEKLY I RECEIVE MESSAGES FROM NHTSA INVOLVING MORE AND MORE MAKES AND MODELS. MY VEHICLE IS NOW 10 YEARS OLD AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. HOW MUCH LONGER DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR REPAIR?
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
