About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
In August 2016, I received an "important safety recall" #30710 from Buick. The explanation was "the wiring harness for the power seats may contact the seat frame, chafe, a short circuit could occur, resulting in inoperative power seat adjustments, flickering lights on the instrument panel, sparking or smoke under the seat, and possible fire." Having not heard anything, I contacted my Agency on 9/22/16 and was told "no parts were available." On 11/23/16, burns Buick said, "GM has no solution. I contacted GM and spoke with [xxx] who did not have an answer. On 11/30/16, GM's [xxx] suggested that no date or supplies have been set. Do I need to have a fire in my car while my grandchildren are in the back seat for GM to finally determine this is really an "important safety recall"" why should it take 5 months without any solution" I ride in fear everyday knowing that I am sitting on a time bomb. Please condemn this failure to provide solutions to this problem and fine them so that they do not do it to anyone else in the future.
