I had made a appointment to get the recalls resolved at the dealership and I made appointment and everything and they call to confirm thru out the week and then when I showed up they said they couldn't fix it cause it was a branded title and they didn't even offer me any other way of fixing it .

I have a scan tool and it says my brake recall is unfinished. But website says it has been fixed. My brakes are terrible and keep getting service brakes airbag and stabilitrack. The download they used when I took in for the recall was not finished

The passenger presence module does not work. The deal said if it was involved in a crash there would be a possibility the airbag on the passenger side would not go off because it can't register if someone is sitting in the seat or not.

Traveling down road at 45 MPH in a storm. A large tree blew down in front of me I hit brakes but pickup didn't not stop. I hit the tree as there was no place to go. The front bumper was knocked back app 4 inches wrapped the frame of truck. The air bag never deployed. This was a 2014 GMC bad lander edition. It stayed in shop in okc OK for 3 months at forguson Dodge. I believe the airbags should have deployed and I have a hurt back now because I hit the roof in my seatbelt.

I temporarily had no control over the vehicle causing me to have an accident. While driving down a residential street approaching a stop sign intersection I merged into the center of st to pass a trashcan and in the process of returning to my correct position on the road I suddenly had no steering. Panicking from the loss I pressed my brakes an attempt to bring vehicle to a stop but was unsuccessful because the tires began a slide once noticing the traction loss I proceeded to release brakes and reapply in hopes of gaining traction the brief relief from brakes caused the vehicle to regain traction and while I still have no control over steering, the vehicle jerks towards the right side of the road and the brakes being reapplied the vehicle continues to slide off pavement making contact with stop sign and telephone pole.

I took my truck in to the local GMC dealership for the recall fix and they ask if I wanted a diagnosis on the truck for a charge . I said yes cause I had a check engine light on and service air bag light on. Which they both came on a week after I bought it. So the service advisor told me that the belt tensioner is out on the drivers side and that the wiring under the drivers seat is messed up. And they told me some other things that were wrong with my truck that I have since found out were false. But I asked him if the seat belt and working issue is covered under a safety warranty. And he said no and to fix your truck it will be 5400 dollars. I have found out that there is a recall on these items and the recall number is 15522. So I would like to find out if I'm or the services advisor. Thanks
