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.
1
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.

DP22005ClosedDefect Petition

Pedestrian alert sounds

Opened Jan 27, 2023
Closed Aug 7, 2023

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.

LIKE THE OTHER 9000 PEOPLE IDENTIFIED ON FACEBOOK AMONG OTHER FORUMS, THE DASH ON MY YUKON IS CRACKED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT. I WOULDN'T MIND SPENDING THE MONEY TO PUT A NEW ONE IN, BUT I DONT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE THE NEW DASH WILL LAST ANY LONGER. CRACKING HAPPENS RIGHT NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL.

ALL THREE OF MY DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER LOCK ELECTRONICALLY. THEY MUST BE LOCKED MANUALLY. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED TO GM INDICATING THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ERROR. MY CAR HAS 85000 MILES AND MANY THAT HAVE COMPLAINED HAVE FAR LESS. THIS IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED. I REACHED OUT TO GM WITH NO SOLUTION OFFERED OTHER THAN THEM BASICALLY SAYING I AM ON MY OWN. THEY DID OFFER TO HELP ME FIND A LOCAL DEALER I COULD SHELL OUT MY MONEY TO. PLEASE HELP. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE CAR IS AT REST AND IN MOTION.
