Vehicle in a motor vehicle accident, hit from behind with great force. Airbags did not deploy. Three occupants in vehicle. The frame was easily damaged of the vehicle causing it to be totaled out. This VIN was not marked apart of recall but yet it does show it is. Recall was reported a week prior to incident unknowingly at the time of incident. Vehicle was hit at a stop red light by a Chevy suburban that drove away. The airbags should have went off. There is video image from local city traffic cam to show the hit. Good brakes though. Was able to hold onto the brakes and not hit the vehicle in front of me. Vehicle is at local salvage lot as of 2/8/24 and you may be able to grab it before it’s parted out or reconstructed.

There are currently approximately 22,000 miles on this vehicle. On approximately December 22, 2023, the car was operating normally, and has been since purchased with 3 miles on it, the car was being parked into a flat parking spot at a local store, when the car was stopped completely, the engine/start button was pushed, which normally put the car into park and shut the car down, this time, the car shut down but NEVER went into Park and started to drift forward approximately 2 feet before the driver was aware that the car was moving. Luckily there was enough room left when the car was parked if not it would have hit another car or someone else. The passenger door was opened upon shut down and the passenger was getting out and that was the only way the passengers knew the car was still moving. The car or incident has not been reported to the dealer as of now but will be in the near future. There were no warning lamps or messages however the brakes were hit immediately upon recognition and the D light was still illuminated. This issue has not been recreated nor has it happened before.
I had a noise in my front driver side and the car felt like it would pull or sputter. I took it to GMC and they said the bearings are miss threaded in the transmission and it is causing problems with the sputtering and control of the car. They said this is a known problem in GMC but they do not have a recall on the car or the pa…

I had a noise in my front driver side and the car felt like it would pull or sputter. I took it to GMC and they said the bearings are miss threaded in the transmission and it is causing problems with the sputtering and control of the car. They said this is a known problem in GMC but they do not have a recall on the car or the parts to repair it. This is a safety risk because if the transmission is slipping then I could loose control of the car and crash. It can also damage other parts to the car. No warning light or check engine light came on in the car.
