Complaints grouped by the component NHTSA recorded
Percentages are of component mentions. A single complaint can name more than one component, so these do not sum to the total complaint count.
No recalls in our database for this model year
That does not guarantee a specific vehicle is unaffected — recalls are issued against VINs, and new campaigns are announced regularly. Check a VIN on NHTSA.gov.

TAKATA RECALL LOCAL DEALER CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INVOLVED IN GM RECALL 49151 ISSUED IN A JULY 2016! THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN LOUISIANA AND HAS SPENT MUCH OF ITS LIFE THERE - LOUISIANA IS CONSIDERED A CRITICAL, FIRST PRIORITY AREA UNDER YOU RECALL. I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS SUBMITTED A THIRD REQUEST FOR WAIVER - PLEASE DENY AND REQUIRE GM TO FOLLOW YOUR ORDER.
TAKATA RECALL. WHEN WILL THIS MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049152, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V383 BE RESOLVED? INFORMATION BETWEEN GM AND NHTSA HAS BEEN EXCHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION EVEN THOUGH THE DATES FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE AND PETITIONS IS LONG PAST.
CRACKED DASHBOARD
DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES.
THE DASH ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER HAS A HUGE CRACK AND THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER CRACK BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I NOTICED IT WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED ALL NIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.
HAVE A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG FOR OVER A YEAR. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND WILL NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT PART. GM IS STATING IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE, EVEN THOUGH 20 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED RELATED TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEM. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD HAVE AN OBLIGATION ON KEEPING THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE. ALSO NO RESPONSE FROM GM ON THE DEPRECIATION OF THE VEHICLES VALUE DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT.
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED AND CALLED EVERY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE SAME THING THAT IT IS AT THE MERCY OF GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY CAN NOT DO ANY WORK UNTIL GM GIVE THE GREEN LIGHT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT BOTH GM AND TK HOLDINGS BY PHONE BUT TO MY SURPRISE NO ANSWER SO I EMAILED THEM BOTH AS WELL. I READ THAT THERE IS A DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 27TH 2017 AND I DO NOT WANT THE RUN AROUND. THANK YOU
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG ON MY 2008 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL GMC DEALER, KEY BUICK GMC, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL WAS SET-UP IN JULY, 2016, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE SO FAR. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING THE AIR BAG IN THE VEHICLE CAN EXPLODE. I ASSUME THAT GM AND/OR THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AIR BAG SHOULD PLACE THIS MATTER AS THEIR UTMOST PRIORITY TO COME-UP WITH THE REMEDY BEFORE HUMAN LIVES ARE ADVERSELY EFFECTED. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFER.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
Complaint and recall counts across every year of this model
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.
