What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 GMC sierra 1500. While driving 40 MPH, another vehicle crashed head on into the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The contact sustained severe whiplash and a concussion, which required medical attention. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and sent an engineer to inspect the vehicle.
This incident occurred 4-5 times over the last week driving between 25-40 MPH. While driving, a warning or notification pops up on the dashboard screen stating stabilitrack off or steering assist off, which stiffens the steering wheel and I can't turn the truck at all. At one point, the notifications popped up and then my A/C went off and radio went off along with my entire vehicle.
