What owners wrote

“I have been trying to get this recall done for 1 year. I have placed 3 calls over this time and they say the part is on back order. This is dangerous as it is a recall on the driver airbag. A year is too long to wait. Please advise on what can be done. Dealership: GMC Thompson Raleigh, NC”

“Was in a car accident in my Acadia. Someone hit me going 55 miles an hour on my front passenger side. My airbag never deployed and my seat belt did not lock causing me to fly around. I didn’t see a recall for either of those things”

Filed Jan 22, 2024

“Recall - no parts available- “If airbag is deployed metal fragments could cause serious injury or death” I feel uncomfortable every time I seatbelt myself in to drive. Get the parts and fix the recall please!”

Filed Jan 18, 2024

“Received GM safety recall notice dated June, 2023. Dealership says no solution yet. When will this be resolved?”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 2 of 89 reports involved a crash and 1 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
