2007 GMC YUKON XL 1500 Air Bags Problems

TAKITA RECALL. I DID A VIN SEARCH AND FOUND THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL FOR JUST SHY OF 3 YEARS WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?

Mileage: 180,000

TAKATA RECALL MY WIFE FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS SHARED AND REGISTERED TO BOTH OF US BUT REALIZED AFTER FILING SHE TYPED 2017 INSTEAD OF 2007. RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. TAKATA WAS TO REPLACE. CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP, SILVEIRA IN HEALDSBURG, SEVERAL TIMES BUT PART WAS NEVER PROVIDED TO OUR DEALERSHIP BY TAKATA. STILL NO REPLACEMENT AND HAVE SAME DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS IN CAR!

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GMC IN JULY 2016. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL. HOW CAN THEY MAKE AN ENTIRE YEAR'S WORTH OF NEW CARS AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE CURRENTLY OWNED CARS SAFE. THIS KIND OF DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

TAKATA RECALL NOT FULFILLED!

AFTER RECEIVING A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE, I CONTACTED JACK WILSON GMC TWICE REQUESTING THAT ALL TAKATA INFLATORS BE REMOVED FROM MY VEHICLE AND THEY REFUSED. GMC SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAD REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT HAVE NOT. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT CARE IF NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE OR IF I HAD WORKING AIRBAGS, BUT I WANTED THE DANGEROUS INFLATORS OUT! THEY SAID NO.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION IN JULY 2016 YET TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE LETTER STATES THE MANUFACTURE DEEMS THEM UNSAFE. WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN REPLACED. OTHER CAR COMPANIES HAVE COMPLETED THE REPLACEMENT PROCESS.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE & PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED AT THE TIME I WAS ON LOCAL STREETS GOING ABOUT 22 MPH

Mileage: 121,000

TAKATA RECALL AND DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. 2007 GMC YUKON WAS PURCHASED USED WITH OVER 100K. SHORTLY AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 THE DASHBOARD LITERALLY CAVED IN WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED STREET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH FELLOW YUKON AND TAHOE OWNERS, I DETERMINED THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF CRACKING AREAS AND MAGNITUDE. I CALLED GMC AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONSIDER SUBSIDIZING A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST BUT I HAD TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM A LOCAL GMC SERVICE CENTER. AFTER CONTACTING THE GMC SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WOULD APPLY FOR A REPAIR QUOTE, TO WHICH I DISAGREED GIVEN THE NEED FOR AN ESTIMATE ONLY. I SPOKE ONCE MORE WITH GMC STATING I WOULD NOT PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE REQUEST AND UNKNOWN REMEDY. AT THE PRESENT MOMENT THE AIR BAGS ARE ALSO UNDER RECALL BUT UNAVAILABLE. THE CRACKING DASHBOARD AND DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS CREATE A VOLATILE SAFETY SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I. ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SHARED WITH GMC VIA A CERTIFIED LETTER, TO WHICH THEY SENT A LETTER STATING I SHOULD CALL IF MY REQUEST HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE CALL RESULTED IN A NOTICE THAT I ALONE AM FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE AND HAZARDOUS DASHBOARD AND NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED. I COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGE THE STATE OF THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE SHEER NUMBERS OF THIS OCCURRENCE CLEARLY INDICATE THE DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE AIRBAG. MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I NOTICED THERE WAS AN OPENING IN THE DASHBOARD.

DASH BOARD CRACKED AROUND AIR BAG 3/2/15 THE A WEEK LATER A MAJOR CRACK OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. GM SAY'S PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. CALL DEALERSHIP DID THAT DEALERSHIP CANT GET PART FROM GM BECAUSE NOT AVAILABLE. *TR

DASH BOARD CRACKED AROUND AIR BAG LAST YEAR AND NOW A MAJOR CRACK OVER THE STEERING WHEEL THAT IS CAVING THE DASH BOARD IN I CAN SEE DOWN UNDER IT! *TR

THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED, BUT UNDER WARRANTY FROM THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN ALWAYS MAINTAINED AND SERVICED, UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP. AS SOON AS WE NOTICED THE CRACKS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG AREA, WE CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL NOT ADDRESS THE ISSUE, SINCE GMC DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL ISSUED, HOWEVER THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS IN TENS OF THOUSANDS OF GMC VEHICLES AND THERE IS OVERWHELMING DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE OF MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. THERE ARE CUTS AROUND THE AIRBAG AREA WITH SHARP EDGES AND IN CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS, THEY WOULD BE FLYING LIKE DAGGERS AND ARE VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. *NJ THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. *JB

TWO WEEKS AGO A WARNING LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING "SERVICE AIR BAG". TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE TODAY AND SUMMARY FROM TECH WAS "PERFORMED TECH TWO DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. FOUND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE B0087 SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT CIRCUIT. FURTHER DIAGNOSIS IS NEEDED." DECIDED TO EXPLORE VIA INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE: NHTSA #10023755. IF THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THIS, THEY DID NOT STATE ANYTHING. SUGGESTION FROM DEALER WAS THAT THEY REPLACE THE SENSOR AND IF THAT DID NOT WORK THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE "SENSOR COMPUTER". *TR

Mileage: 41,673

THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR GOES ON AND OFF WHEN MY WIFE SITS IN IT. SHE WEIGHTS 112 LBS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AT THE DEALER. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND THE DEALERSHIP GAVE US BLANKET STATEMENTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE SENSOR IN THE SEAT, HOWEVER THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE SERVICE MANAGER MIKE WITNESSED THE PROBLEM. AS MENTIONED, WE ARE VERY VERY CONCERNED. *TR
