2008 GMC YUKON DENALI Complaints

I RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2016 THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIR BAGS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE RECALL. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2018 AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED/REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A ROD PREMATURELY FRACTURED INTO THE FUEL TANK AND A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD. AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT FUEL HAD LEAKED ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED MORE THAN TEN TSBS ON THE FUEL SYSTEM, BUT A MANUFACTURER RECALL CAMPAIGN WAS NOT ISSUED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT A WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS AND PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 233,000.

2008 GMC YUKON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR. UPDATED 12/08/2017*JS

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 AND RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS IN OCTOBER 2017 REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND CHAPTER 11 FILING. I HAVE CALLED MY GMC DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DURING THE PAST 16 MONTHS TO SCHEDULE THE FREE REPAIR PURSUANT TO THE RECALL AND AM REPEATEDLY INFORMED THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO ADDRESS THE RECALL AND REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE RECEIVING MORE INFORMATION AS TO THE EXPECTED DATE FOR THE REPAIR OF MY YUKON THAN "WE DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR CAR AND DO NOT HAVE MORE INFORMATION AS TO THE TIMELINE WHEN WE WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR CAR." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BASED UPON THE POTENTIAL RISK THAT EXISTS THIS EXPOSES TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

TAKATA INFLATORS : I RECEIVED A LETTER SATING THAT MY VEHICLE AIRBAG IS UNDER RECALL AND I SHOULD CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THEM FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE CALLED THEM TWICE SINCE I GOT THE NOTICE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED TO CONTACT GMC TO FIND OUT WHO THE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS BECAUSE AS OF RIGHT NOW THEY CANNOT OFFER ME ANYTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE.

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THERE IS A RECALL SINCE MAY 27, 2016 ON THE AIRBAGS TO MY DENALI. HOWEVER, EACH TIME I HAVE SPOKEN TO BARKLEY GMC IN TUSCALOOSA AL I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO PARTS AVAILABLE OR THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY. YET THE WEBSITE AT HTTPS://WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM/EN/CHECK-YOUR-VEHICLE HAS NOTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT A DEALER. IF THERE IS A RECALL AND I AM BEING INFORMED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THAT IT SHOULD BE SERVICED THEN WHY AM I UNABLE TO OBTAIN THAT SERVICE? THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY BIG CONCERN SINCE IT INVOLVES A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS TO MY FAMILY VEHICLE. THIS BEGAN IN MAY 2016, WHICH I FIRST WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND I JUST CHECKED ONLINE AGAIN TODAY AND THEN AGAIN CONTACTED BARKLEY GMC IN TUSCALOOSA AL AND WAS INFORMED AGAIN THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL-I HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS FIXED FOR THIS RECALL AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL ISSUE AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL GET THE PARTS...TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I WANT THIS REMEDIED IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED AND CALLED EVERY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE SAME THING THAT IT IS AT THE MERCY OF GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY CAN NOT DO ANY WORK UNTIL GM GIVE THE GREEN LIGHT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT BOTH GM AND TK HOLDINGS BY PHONE BUT TO MY SURPRISE NO ANSWER SO I EMAILED THEM BOTH AS WELL. I READ THAT THERE IS A DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 27TH 2017 AND I DO NOT WANT THE RUN AROUND. THANK YOU

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG ON MY 2008 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL GMC DEALER, KEY BUICK GMC, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL WAS SET-UP IN JULY, 2016, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE SO FAR. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING THE AIR BAG IN THE VEHICLE CAN EXPLODE. I ASSUME THAT GM AND/OR THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AIR BAG SHOULD PLACE THIS MATTER AS THEIR UTMOST PRIORITY TO COME-UP WITH THE REMEDY BEFORE HUMAN LIVES ARE ADVERSELY EFFECTED. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFER.

TAKATA RECALL - HAVE RECEIVED NOTICE AFTER NOTICE OF RECALL AROUND TAKATA INFLATORS AND DEALER SPECIFIES THEY ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO FIX? JUST RECEIVED LEGAL NOTICE THAT TAKATA HAS FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 AND DEALERS WILL STILL NOT FIX??
