THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2016 FOR MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAGS AND THE LOCAL DEALER SERVICE DEPT. TOLD ME THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. I LIVE IN ONE OF THE HOTTEST AND HUMID PARTS OF THE US WHICH IS KNOWN TO CAUSE THE AIRBAGS TO DEGRADE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY KNOWING THIS PROBLEM IS UNADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

OUR TAKATA AIRBAG HAS BEEN ON RECALL FOR YEARS. GM WAS GIVEN UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO FILE THEIR PETITION. THAT WAS TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO!! WHERE IS YOUR DECISION???? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND NEGLIGENT, AM I PUTTING MY FAMILY IN A SAFE VEHICLE OR WILL WE BE KILLED BY SHRAPNEL IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT??? WOULD YOU PUT YOUR FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE? SADLY, I OWN NOT ONLY ONE VEHICLE IN THIS SITUATION BUT TWO! DO YOUR JOB!

THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING, SHUT DOWN WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN THE ROAD. DASHBOARD WAS OFF AND IT COASTED TO A STOP.

ONCE IT WAS PUT IN PARK, THE KEY WAS TURNED, IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED AGAIN AND RAN PERFECTLY.

MY 2008 YUKON HAS HAD AN ELECTRICAL MYSTERY FOR AWHILE NOW. WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS THE "CHIME" WILL BE VERY FAINT AND THEN THE NEXT TIME IT'S VERY LOUD. THE CLOCK RESETS LIKE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES WILL I'M DRIVING. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER DRIVING IT AND IT WILL BE COMPLETELY DEAD. IT WONT DO ANYTHING. YOU CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS, TURN ON THE RADIO, START THE CAR OR ANYTHING. ALMOST LIKE IT DOESNT HAVE A BATTERY AT ALL. WAIT 10 MINUTES OR SO AND SLAM A FEW DOORS AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. WE'VE REPLACED BATTERIES, ALTERNATORS, FUSES AND TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS WITH NO LUCK. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY IT WILL WORK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. THERE HAS TO BE A SHORT SOMEWHERE AND AFTER GOOGLING IT THERE ARE 1000 OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2017 AND I'M POSITIVE THE OWNER BEFORE ME HAD THE SAME ISSUES.
