TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL IN JULY OF 2016 RECALL NUMBER 49151. I KEEP ASKING MY LOCAL GMC DEALER LINUS BUICK GMC 1401 US HWY 1, VERO BEACH, FL 32960, 772-562-1700, AGAIN TODAY 10/23/2017, I VISITED THEIR SERVICE CENTER IN REFERENCE TO THIS RECALL. I WAS TOLD AGAIN THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. ON 10/20/2017 I RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. P.O.BOX3004 MONROE, WI 53566, CHAPTER 11 CASE NO. 17-11375(BLS) I WANT MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL AFTER MANY CALLS TO MY DEALER I CAN NOT GET THIS AIR BAD CHANGED. IF IT'S BAD ENOUGH FOR A RECALL IT'S BAD ENOUGH TO CHANGE IT NOW. DOES IT HAVE TO EXPLOSED BE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENS. I HAVE CALLED CRITZ GMC MORE TIMES THAN I WANT TO ,IT'S BEEN GOING ON TWO YEARS SINCE I GOT THE NOTICE.

AT AROUND 100,000 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND INDICATE LOW OIL PRESSURE. CHANGING THE SENSOR OUT DID NOT EFFECT THE SITUATION. CHANGING THE OIL WOULD HELP BUT USUALLY ONLY FOR AROUND 3,500 MILES. THE ENGINE WAS LOSING OIL MORE THAN IT SHOULD. THEN AT AROUND 129,000 MILES, THE TRUCK STARTING SHAKING BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE A CYLINDER 7 MISFIRE. CHANGING THE COIL PACK, SPARK PLUG, AND SPARK PLUG WIRE DID NOTHING. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE WAS IRREPARABLE AND NEEDED REPLACING. UPON RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2008-2012 GM ENGINES WITH THE AFM SYSTEM. GM SHOULD ABSOLUTELY ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR THESE DEFECTIVE ENGINES OR OTHERWISE REIMBURSE THE OWNERS FOR THE REPAIRS.

CRACKED DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. COULD CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED AND IS NOT AESTHETICALLY PLEASING CONSIDERING THE MONEY SPENT ON THE VEHICLE.

ENTERING A HIGHWAY FROM A STOP, PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY AND GRADUALLY. AFTER APPROX. SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR, THE GAS PEDAL WAS 'SUCKED' DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND REMAINED STUCK IN THAT POSITION. THE TRUCK LURCHED FORWARD AND BEHAVED LIKE IT WAS IN 'PASSING' GEAR. I TRIED TO TAP THE PEDAL TO RELEASE IT, BUT HAD NO EFFECT. I TURNED THE CRUISE CONTROL ON THEN OFF (DID NOT SET A SPEED) AND HAD NO EFFECT. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES FAIRLY HARD WHICH SLOWED THE TRUCK DOWN, BUT THAT DID NOT RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL; AS SOON AS I LEFT OFF THE BRAKES, THE TRUCK AGAIN ACCELERATED AT FULL SPEED. ALTERNATING BETWEEN THE BRAKES AND TAPPING THE GAS PEDAL EVENTUALLY UNSTUCK THE GAS PEDAL.. NOTE THAT MY 'SPEED' WAS 0-50MPH WHEN I WAS ABLE TO UNSTUCK THE GAS PEDAL. I STATED THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AT (APPROX) 15MPH, THE SPEED WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND.
