What owners report
I was in a head-on collision (T-bone) going over 40 mph. Despite the severity of the collision no airbags deployed and both front seatbelts failed. Error Codes: B0052:00 Deployment commanded; B0015:04 Driver seat belt buckle tensioner deployment loop open; B0022:04 Passenger seat belt buckle tensioner deployment loop open. I have a police report but it exceeds the 10mb limit.
Cracked Dash - multiple cracks around the airbag module, made worse by airbag module replacement. Scared that if the air bags ever go off, the dash will shatter, throwing shrapnel all over the occupants.
WARNING MESSAGES SAYS ENGINE SPEED REDUCED, STABILITRAK SYSTEM OFF. UNABLE TO PICK UP SPEED, ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ON. VEHICLE IS SHAKING WHILE DRIVING.
WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SAYING THE PROPELLANT IN THIS INFLATOR MAY DEGRADE AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE CYCLING, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO EXPLODE DURING A DEPLOYMENT. AN INFLATOR RUPTURE MAY CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG AND INTO THE VEHICLE INTERIOR AT HIGH SPEED, WHCIH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. WHEN WE CALLED THE GMC DEALER TO GET THIS FIXED, THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE FOR MY HUSBAND, MYSELF AND OUR 6 CHILDREN THAT WE RIDE IN TOGETHER EACH DAY. I'M ALSO PREGNANT AND EXPECTING A BABY IN AUGUST - WE SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO DRIVE AROUND
WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD APPROACHED A CORNER HIT A ICY SPOT THEN DRY SPOT SPUN ME AROUND AND WENT INTO THE DITCH. SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. DID NOT HIT ANY OBJECT OR ROLL THE VEHICLE. ALSO DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CURRENT RECALL ON AIR BAGS FOR MY VEHICLE.
