I purchased a 2014 Acadia that was part of NHTSA campaign number: 14V266000. The car was delivered to me without the recall being performed. This is in direct violation of the stop sale notice on the recall. The dealership now wants the car back asap to fix the recall, but the are still in direct violation of the law. GM is arrogant and denies that this can happen in their system. GM's system needs to be fixed as well. I have emails and voicemails that back up this information.

General Motors has announced a safety recall for this vehicle. The number for this campaign is 14187. GM considers this defect serious enough to issue a "stop sell" for the affected vehicles. NHTSA regulations provide the manufacturer a "reasonable" period of time to notify owners. Define reasonable! in 21 May 2014 GM refused to provide me any information with respect to resolution. On 22 May 2014 the dealers had not been informed of what actions would be required. In this day and age, for a defect serious enough to result in a stop sell order, there is no excuse for this level of delay. If my son is killed or injured as a result of inaction by GM or NHTSA, the consequences will not be pleasant. Also be advised I have yet to receive notification of GM recall number 14007 announced on 05 May 2014. I demand more timely action from NHTSA and GM with respect to recall number 14187. Conduct yourselves accordingly.
