My vehicle has a very good service record. The transmission failed and had to be replaced at 93,800 miles. My research has revealed this is a common problem with this make/model. The transmission has been replaced and I have filed a claim with GMC. I do not have an extended warranty. However, this appears to be a common problem.

AIR BAGS
I received recall notice N212328770 by letter in July 2021. I immediately notified my local dealership and they told be they were waiting for the part. We just received a call from the dealer about a week ago and schedule to ge the recall issue repaired on Wednesday, February 9th 2022. We were given an appointment and my wife had to take the vehicle due to the me working. She arrived to have the safety defect replaced (passender air bag) and was told that when they do the replacement that if the dash cracks or is damaged they are not responsible for the damages and we would have to pay to get it fixed or replaced. This is very pooe customr service as well as causing a customer not to go through getting the recall completed. My wife called me and did not want to challenge the dealership. I told her just come home and do not let them make the repair/replacement and I would contact GM. I have had no luck doing so. This should be a no brainer. If they damage the dash or it cracks they fix it or replace it. My dash does hav 2 small cracks right where the air bag is located and from what I have read online many have stated that they too have had the same issue. This is supposedly due to the air bag issue. So now I am in a rock and hard place. I either don't get it done and risk a serious injury or death due to GM's unwillingness to take responsibility and handle in a professional manner or have them do it, damage the dash and pay lots of money to get it replaced. Can you please advise what I should do? Since I can not provide you with any personal info so you can contact me what am I to do to get this recified? A very long standing upset GM customer.
