2008 GMC YUKON Complaints

TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING SINCE 2016. THE RISK SPECIFICALLY STATES: "THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." I LIVE IN A HOT AND HUMID AREA, AND I HAVE A FAMILY. I ALSO HAVE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF SAFETY AND RELIANCE UPON THIS VEHICLE, AND CONSIDERING THE COST OF VEHICLES THESE DAYS, SEEMS LIKE COMPANIES WOULD SHOW A BIT MORE LOVE AND CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. I PANIC EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE, JUST OUT OF WORRY OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.

ON 06/07/2019 I PURCHASED MY 2008 GMC YUKON SLT IN A PRIVATE SALE WITH 43K MILES ON IT HARDLY DRIVEN, A WELL TAKEN CARE OF SUV NO CRACKS IN THE DASH NOW A MONTH AND 1000 MILES LATER I AM DRIVING AND NOTICE IT HAS A CRACK IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE DASH 4" LONG NEAR THE SEAM IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND A CRACK IN THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE DASH 2" LONG AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. I IMMEDIATELY SAW THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATORS ARE UNDER RECALL WITH A STATUS OF REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE ACCORDING TO THE CARFAX I RAN AND AT SAFERCAR.GOV MAKING THE DASH A TICKING TIME BOMB WITH SHRAPNEL AS A BONUS TO POSSIBLY INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR MY WIFE IN THE EVENT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED A RIDICULOUS REPAIR PRICE AND ADMITTED THAT A CRACKED DASHES ARE AN ISSUE WITH THE YUKON. A DASH COVER IS NOTHING BUT A BAND AID ON A BROKEN LEG. I WANT GM TO ISSUE A RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL...ELECTRICAL IS ALWAYS MESSING UP. ALWAYS FUEL EMMISIONS SYSTEM LIGHT, WHICH THEN MESSES UP THE RADIO THAT SHUTS OFF AND ON AND GETS WARM, SIGNALS THEN DO NOT CLICK. THE STRUTS AND SHOCKS GIVE ME PROBLEMS. I HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY FIXING ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. THIS SUV IS MY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION WITH MY FAMILY OF 8. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING. THE TRUCK IS AFFECTED WITH DRIVING IN A STREET, HIGHWAY OR MAKING A TURN.
