Takata recall my wife filed a complaint for this vehicle which is shared and registered to both of us but realized after filing she typed 2017 instead of 2007. Received a notice for defective air bags. Takata was to replace.
NHTSA ODI report, 2017-11-20
Takata recall. We received a recall notice from GMC in July 2016. They still do not have parts to repair this recall. How can they make an entire year's worth of new cars and still not be able to make currently owned cars safe.

The transmission was leaking and recalled and that was fixed by GM. The brake lights sometimes over heat and I had to replace the saddles on them. I do not even know they go out but I have people honking at me that I have no lights in the rear.
