  ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR, THE VEHICLE ENTERS WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESET" OF SORTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS DURING OPERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL SUDDENLY POWER OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY, THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK AND RELOCK, THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER (QUITE SCARY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD, POWERED DOWN, LET SIT IDLE FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND THEN CAN BE RESTARTED TO A NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS RESETTING ITSELF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION AND MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE (3) TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR - ALL ON LONG TRIPS - MARCH, JULY, AND NOVEMBER. THE MOST RECENT, INSTANCE OCCURRED ABOUT THREE HOURS INTO A RETURN TRIP HOME AND RECURRED AGAIN ABOUT 1-1/2 HOURS LATER (10 MINUTES FROM HOME) DURING THE SAME TRIP. BY RESTARTING/RESETTING THE VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I TOOK TO ADVANCED AUTO AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME UP NEGATIVE - NO CODES, BATTERY AND STARTUP ALL GOOD. I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THEM AROUND TOWN AND FOR VACATIONS AND SUCH. THIS IS QUITE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS AND I AM AFRAID IT MAY LEAVE US STRANDED AT SOME POINT IN TIME, OR WORSE.

  WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN JANUARY, 2019, IT HAD A SMALL CRACK ACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD. NOW THE CRACK HAS EXPANDED AND THE WHOLE DASHBOARD IS LOOSE AND BOUNCES AROUND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

  RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2016 THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED. NEVER WAS SO I CALLED ALLEN GMC TOLD THEM ABOUT MY RECALL , MADE AND APPOINTMENT AND DROVE DOWN MET WITH SERVICE ADVISOR STEVE WACKER. HE SAID I CANNOT FIX THIS AS I HAVE NO PARTS. I CALLED 800 222-1020 TALKED TO YVONNE AND GAVE HER ALL MY INFO. SHE PUT ME ON HOLD AND BURT PICKED UP AND I HAD TO GIVE HIM ALL THE INFORMATION AGAIN. BOTH THESE PEOPLE WERE IN THE PHILIPPINES AND SAID THEY COULD NOT TRANSFER ME TO A DECISION MAKER. FUNNY HOW THE SUITS ALL HIDE BEHIND THESE CUST SERV PEOPLE. I ASKED STEVE AND BURT HOW THEY WOULD FEEL ABOUT PUTTING THEIR WIFE OR CHILD IN THAT SEAT WITH THE POSSIBILITY THE AIR BAG COULD KILL THEM AS IT HAS OTHERS. I ASKED FOR A CAR TO DRIVE LIKE HONDA HAS DONE WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS. JUST A BUNCH OF HAPPY TALK AT THE EXPENSE OF A FAMILY MEMBER. I DON'T CARE IF THERE IS A 1/1000 CHANCE IT MAY HAPPEN THEY SHOULD FIX IT OR GIVE YOU A CAR UNTIL THEY DO. THEY SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PRODUCE OR SELL NEW CARS UNTIL THE GET THIS SITUATION RESOLVED. GM IS A HUGE COMPANY WITH LOTS OF RESOURCES AND IT SEEMS A CRIME THAT SOMEONE MAY LOSE A LOVED ONE OVER GREED. HOW SOON THEY FORGET WHO WAS LOYAL TO THEM WHEN THEY WERE IN BANKRUPTCY.

Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 09V154000 (Fuel System, Gasoline).

  OWNERS ARE CONVINCED THAT A CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD COMPOUND THE SEVERITY OF A THE VEHICLE DASH IS DAMAGED I AM STATING THAT IT COULD SHATTER INTO PIECES UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND SEND SHARDS OF DASHBOARD FLYING AT BOTH THE DRIVER AND THEIR PASSENGERS. THE SHARDS COULD ALSO LACERATE THE AIRBAGS AND RENDER THEM USELESS. MY DASH HAS CRACKED AND SEPARATED WITH NO ADDITIONAL STRESS FROM VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THIS DAMAGE HAPPENS AS THE VEHICLE IS PARKED THE SUN WEAKENS THE MATERIAL,THEN AS THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN IT CREATES STRESS CRACKS. MOREOVER ANY DASH RELATED REPAIR WILL FURTHER DAMAGE THE DASH. FOR EXAMPLE THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS GM HAS BEEN SO RESISTANT TO A TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL KNOWING THAT IT WILL LIKELY REQUIRE THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD TO BE REPLACED.

• 11/21/2017· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE NOW CALLED MY LOCAL GM CHEVY DEALER DEALER MONTHLY SINCE THE TAKATA RECALL HAS COME OUT AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. THEY SITE THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY TO REPLACE THEM WITH. MY RESPONSE HAS BEEN, I HAVE 4 CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE DAILY AND GOD FORBID BUT IF I WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND WE FOUND OUT THEN THAT THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. IT MAY BE TOO LATE AND THE INJURIES SUSTAINED BE LIFE THREATENING. THERE IS NO REASON WE NEED SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT TILL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS WHEN THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX. I NEED MY AIRBAGS REPLACED ASAP AND NEED TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. I EVEN RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT STATES CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND SCHEDULE YOUR FREE REPAIR. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ASININE THAT MY AIRBAGS HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED WITHIN THE LAST 18MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL. I NEED SOMETHING DONE NOW.

• 11/19/2018· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL - I OBJECT TO GM FILING A PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY. GM'S OWN WEBSITE STATES"THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." AS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOCATED IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW, IT HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO BOTH HEAT AND HUMIDITY NEARLY CONTINUALLY SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. GM AND TAKATA SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AVOID THE RESPONSIBILITY TO RESTORE MY VEHICLE TO A SAFE CONDITION.

YOU MUST KEEP THE SYSTEM COMPLETELY OFF THE FLOOR VENT, THE DRIVER SIDE IS EXTREMELY HOT AND CAUSES DISTRACTION. IS THIS A NEW OR UNKNOWN REPORT FOR THIS VEHICLE?

  I am STILL waiting for this recall to be fixed. Why is this taking so long? Every time I drive this vehicle, it is a danger for my passenger due to the defective airbag. It almost seems to me that maybe this is a stall tactic so there will be less of a cost for the repairs due to the less vehicles still on the road. Just my opinion. I would like to know what is taking so long to fix. It is already late 2021 and this vehicle is a 2009. Wow. I guess the safety of the customers is second to the cost of repairs.
