I was notified of the air bag recall in June 2023, and no action has been taken on this problem yet. My concern is, of course, if I'm an accident and the air bag deploys and metal is scattered thru out the inside of the car the end result will be disastrous to whom ever is inside my car.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Backup camera continues to intermittently fail even after recall remedy was performed. When placing the car in reverse, the backup screen goes black with a warning symbol on the screen that the camera is not working. This has happened intermittently for the last couple years. I've taken it to a GMC service center 5 times for this issue (3 of these visits were after the recall remedy was performed). The service has fixed the issue but it only lasts for a short time before reoccurring.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The Infotainment system continuously changes screens without being touched. No matter what screen is displayed, it will change on it's own to various other screens. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? While I was driving I was using my GPS via CarPlay and the directions were displayed on the Infotainment screen. The screen started changing to other screens and at one point changed to the back up camera. I was almost in an accident because I was unable to see the directions and frightened and confused when the back up camera appeared while I was going forward on the highway. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, I took the car to the dealership while it was still under warranty and they told me it was due to me using CarPlay and that my iPhone just needed to be updated. I updated my phone and the problem never went away. So now I've stopped using CarPlay and the problem is still occurring. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Only the dealership. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No warnings. The problem first appeared in late 2020 early 2021. I have a video recording of the issue as well. Also when I Google the issue lots of other owners are complaining of the same issue.

AIR BAGS
We received a "important safety recall" notification letter from GMC in June 2023, informing us that there is a safety issue with the driver's side airbag. The recall reference number is N232404980. This recall calls out a potential hazard for metal fragments to pass through the airbag, which may result in injury or death. As of today, May 29, 2024, it has been almost a full year since we have received this notification, and there is still no resolution. I have called GMC directly, and was advised to "keep checking until a repair solution is available". Given that the cause of the recall can result in injury or death, a timeline of a year (or longer) to repair this issue is completely unacceptable. Someone needs to hold GMC accountable, and pressure them to make the repair for this recall available immediately. It is unacceptable that drivers of the impacted vehicles are expected to drive with a potentially dangerous (or fatal) recall, with no timeline of resolution. I expect the NHTSA to hold GMC accountable, and demand an immediate resolution to all vehicles impacted by recall #N232404980.

My vehicle didn't shift into park all the way or the ADAS didn't register it. I would have to hit it quite hard with my palm to make it register. This happened for 3 months straight and finally stopped as sudden as it started. I tried to report it to GMC and was told there wasn't such an issue.

POWER TRAIN
Incident: the drivetrain shudders and experiences hesitation while attempting to accelerate, and car surges forward when breaking due to what seems to be an issue with the tranmission. This present concerns with potential stalling while driving or the car surging into other vehicles. No indicator lights or error codes are displayed. The presence of this problem in multiple GM vehicles is confirmed by service bulletin 18-NA-358. The safety concern related to this defect should warrant a manufacturer recall to fix the know n defective parts. The vehicle has not yet been repaired. Will request to retain defective parts for inspection upon repair.

Shift to park will not work. Sometime after 20 try’s it may work once but I have to disconnect the battery to turn off the car. I’m beside myself and cannot keep doing this. This is a real safety problem. I have children in my car and Gm says there is no recall and I am expected to pay 800.00 and then it is not guaranteed.

I was driving about 30mph and accelerated to pass a truck and the transmission failed and the car lost any ability to accelerate and I had to coast to the side of the highway and have the car towed to the dealer. The dealer stated the transmission would need to be replaced and it would be $9000. Mileage is 77,013. This is the third time the transmission has malfunctioned and caused the car to lose power on the highway. It has been repaired twice previously.
