Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

2009 GMC YUKON. I HAVE OWNED MY GMC FOR APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AND FOR THE SECOND TIME, I AM DEALING WITH A HORRIBLY CRACKED DASH. THE DEALERSHIP ADDRESSED THE ISSUE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE DUE TO IT CRACKING JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS OF HAVING IT. AND, HERE WE GO AGAIN. IT IS CRACKED FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE AND IT IS UP TO MY WALLET TO GET IT FIXED. I TAKE SUPER CARE OF MY VEHICLE, INSIDE AND OUT AND THIS IS DISGUSTING BEYOND BELIEF. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND VOW TO NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FROM GMC. OWN YOUR ISSUES GMC!!!

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
