Defect investigations
Pedestrian alert sounds
the federal safety agency received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, the federal safety agency opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified the federal safety agency he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by the federal safety agency regarding the subject matter of the petition.

Takata recall. I want to pay for the recall and complete the repair at a gmc dealer. I cannot. Nobody can get parts. I want to pay for the part and pay for the repair. While the recall is in limbo, I want to drive a safe vehicle. Please order gm to have user-parts available for user-pay recall repairs - please!. I cannot be held hostage to not being able to repair. I will sign a waiver to not claim the repair price after the recall is official.
Vehicle will abruptly stop without any warning when starting to accelerate from zero up to about 10 MPH. All engine indicator lights will flash including audible warnings of malfunction. I must come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park, then proceed to restart the vehicle. A rear end collision is inevitable.
Takata recall : this recall is still outstanding after more than two and a half years.
Takata recall. Dealer won't fix it. I'm concerned about family safety.
I already have complaint number #11025458. I wanted to continue adding. Since I filed the complaint the problem still persist and more frequent and dangerous. The check engine light still comes on then within a day or two turns off. Stays off for a few days then again on and off. It's not the oil change that has been done already. That's the only message we get when we take it to gmc to have the light checked. The excellarating still continues when I'm at a stop light. The car has turned off on me 2 times now while wanting to drive (excellaratting to drive) the car has not wanted to turn on for 1hr. It's not the battery we had it checked. My time on the truck keeps resetting. After I set it then go back in the truck to drive it's reset again, so it's turning off the battery then turning it back on. I still get alot of the hessitation to drive it makes the whole truck shake I'm forcing it to drive. I have come close to someone hitting me due to the hessitation of it not moving even though I'm pushing the gas. I have not heard nothing from you guys. The dealer can't find nothing but said it might be the break senser that I paid $180.00 to have changed with the exact same problems still happening. I received a recall letter of a part for my truck took it to gmc they said I should be getting another letter from the same company when the part is available. It's been over a year still nothing. Something needs to be done about this. Do I need a lawyer? The problems accure weather it's in motion or stationary, on the city st or highway turning or not it does not matter it happens with everything. Thank you
