There is a recall for our this vehicle that was initiated in May because our airbag inflator may explode causing death or serious injury. We have yet to be provided with a fix, and have been denied a loaner vehicle because the dealerships don't want to part with their limited # of loaners for an undetermined amount of time. We are being told to continue driving around ourselves and our young children and one dealership told us "you probably wouldn't die". This is alarming that they are not providing an immediate fix, even at greater cost to the company, and are rolling the dice on safety.

I received notification back on May 10th of a Takata Airbag recall for my car via email from Carfax and GM. I have filed a complaint on www.carcomplaints.com, NHTSA, and have contacted the dealership that I purchased the vehicle from 3 different times. I have also contacted GM customer service and voiced my concern for a safety issue not having a remedy and we are already a month and a half into the recall. I was informed from GM customer service that if "I haven't heard anything within a couple of months, to call back." I also asked if it was possible to get a rental car until a remedy can become available. I was informed they would escalate that request and if I haven't heard anything back in a week, to call them back. That was yesterday, June 23rd, 2023. This recall has been confirmed for my vehicle by the dealership and by GM customer service.

Passenger side mirror blind spot detection started flickering and then remained on while the vehicle is in park and in motion. Shortly afterwards it stopped working all together and began receiving a service side detection warning light on dashboard. While backing up the camera still working but there is no sensor working that detects close people or vehicles. Extremely dangerous for little kids that almost ran behind vehicle. While driving down the highway, I was almost involved in accidents while attempting to make a lane change and did not see vehicle in next lane as it was in blindspot. Issue seems to be very wide spread with this model. A service bulletin was issued for Acadia (same design as the Traverse) for same detection warning. GM dealership reported that the issue is also common which is why the parts needed for repair are on a backorder status with no ETA. NHTSA needs to take action.
