AIR BAGS
THE PLASTIC AROUND THE PASSANGER AIRBAG HAS STARTED CRACKING AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD TO OTHER AREAS. I FEEL THIS COULD MAKE FOR A BAD SITUATION WITH SHARDS OF SHARP PLATIC BEING THROW AT THE PASSANGER IF THE AIRBAG WHERE TO BE DEPLOYED.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION> 15V324 RECALL DATE: MAY 28, 2015 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: N150817. SOME FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS MAY EXPERIENCE AN ALTERATION OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVERAGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS CONDITION COULD CREATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE BODY OF THE INFLATOR RUPTURING UPON DEPLOYMENT. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR, FREE OF CHARGE. RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE 1.5 YEARS LATER AND STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE? IS THIS ONE PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL THAT I JUST SAW ON THE NBC NEWS?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS IN THIS VEHICLE ARE UNSAFE. THE ARE DIM AND ONLY PROJECT OUT A SHORT DISTANCE AND VERY LITTLE TO THE PERIPHERY. THERE IS ALSO A DARK LINE IN THE FIELD OF VIEW WHERE ABOVE IT IS DARK AND BELOW IS DULL LIGHT. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP AND THE SOLUTION WAS TO UPGRADE THE LIGHT BULBS WHICH THEY DID. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I ESCALATED IT TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TELL ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE UNSAFE FOR NIGHTTIME DRIVING ESPECIALLY IN DARKER RURAL AREAS AND IN BAD WEATHER. THE SIDE LIGHTING FROM THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NEARLY NONEXISTENT ESPECIALLY AROUND SHARP CURVES. IN ORDER TO READ SIGNS AT NIGHT I OFTEN HAVE TO USE MY HIGHBEAMS IN ORDER TO READ THEM REGARDLESS IF THERE IS TRAFFIC IN FRONT OF ME OR ONCOMING. I DRIVE HOME FROM WORK NIGHTLY WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON THE ENTIRE WAS UNLESS THERE IS A CAR CLOSE IN FRONT OF ME. I'VE YET TO HAVE ONCOMING TRAFFIC FLASH THEIR LIGHTS AT ME DO TO HAVING MY HIGHBEAMS ON. I HAVE MADE THE DEALERSHIP AWARE AS WELL AS CORPORATE GM . AS OF NOW THE ONLY ACTION THEY WILL TAKE IS TO REPLACE MY OLD BULBS WITH THE SAME BULBS THEY TOOK OUT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN MADE. ONLY A TSB WHICH I CAN'T EVEN GET MY DEALERSHIP TO FOLLOW. *TR

POWER TRAIN
EXTREME LAG/DELAY- HARSH ENGAGEMENT WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE. ITS LIKE YOU ARE BACKING INTO SOMETHING? WHEN CRUISING 28-32 MPH AND RELEASING ACCELERATOR(AS IF YOU WERE COASTING INTO A TURN) WHEN SLOWING THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO SHIFT UP AND LUNGE ENTERING THE TURN. CLUNKS AND SHIFTS HARD WHEN CRUISING NORMALLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND SLIGHTLY REACCELERATE, CAUSING THE DRIVER TO HESITATE. VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND HARD ACCEL 10X WORSE WHEN TOWING A 7000 # TRAILER (TRUCK IS RATED OVER 12,000 LBS. TOWING).

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE HAD THE BRAKES GO OUT 3 DIFFERENT TIMES ON ME IN THE LAST YEAR. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF PROBLEMS AND YOU STEP ON THE BRAKES AND A LINE BLOWS. YOU HAVE NO BRAKES PEDDLE GOES TO THE FLOOR AND LITTLE TO NO STOPPING. ONE TIME I WAS COMING DOWN A DIRT ROAD TO A STOP SIGN AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND A LINE BLEW AND THE ABS KICKED IN BECAUSE OF THE DIRT ROAD AND I COULD NOT STOP AND WENT RIGHT THROUGH A INTERSECTION. THEY USED CHEAP LINES, AND NOW PEOPLE IN THE NE WHERE SALT IS USED ARE HAVING PROBLEMS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.THE LINE RUSTY OUT WHERE THEY BEND AND SALT AND DIRT BUILD UP. THERE IS NO REASON THEY CAN NOT MAKE THESE LINES OUT OF SS OR AS WITH THE NEWER LINES THEY ARE COATED. WHY COME OUT WITH A COAT LINE IF THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AND IDLE. SOMETIMES IT STARTS BACK UP IMMEDIATELY, OTHER TIMES IT WILL JUST CRANK OVER BUT WILL NOT START. AFTER LETTING IT SIT SOMETIMES 5 TO 20 MINUTES AT A TIME IT WILL THEN START BACK UP. ALL RESEARCH AND ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE INDICATE A MANUFACTURER RECALL OF A CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OR SHUT OFF AT RANDOM WHETHER IT'S IN MOTION DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF A INTERSECTION OR AT A STOP SIGN . I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T-BONES DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVERS MIRROR DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING ON THE INTERSTATE AND NEARLY BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. TWICE AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE TWO AROUND THE AIR BAG HAPPENED IN AUGUST OF 2013 AND THE ONE AROUND THE DASH JUST HAPPENED NOV 25, 2016. I HAVE KEPT A SUN VISOR COVERING IT WHEN IT WAS NOT IN THE GARAGE. I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THIS HAS BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD.

TAKATA RECALL. I THINK IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT HAS YET TO HAVE A FIX AVAILABLE. I AM NOT IN THE FINANCIAL POSITION TO STOP DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND PURCHASE ANOTHER WHILE STILL PAYING FOR ONE THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OUR FAMILY USES ALL SEATING AVAILABLE IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT MAKES IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE ! I WOULD LIKE PERMISSION TO HAVE THE DEFECTIVE PART REMOVED IF THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE. AND ACCORDING TO ALL THERE IS NO FIX AND NO DATE THAT THEY EXPECT ONE. *TR
