2007 GMC YUKON DENALI XL Complaints

TAKATA RECALL: MY LOCAL GM DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THEY SAY THEY CURRENTLY HAVE NO REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I GUESS THE FACT THAT MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON IS A PURE COINCIDENCE, AS WELL. I JUST RECEIVED A SECOND NOTICE THAT TAKATA, THE AIRBAG MANUFACTURING COMPANY IS NOW FILING CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY. THE NOTICE SAYS TO IMMEDIATELY CONTACT MY CAR'S MANUFACTURER TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REMEDIED. I FEEL LIKE THIS WILL BE A LOST CAUSE CONSIDERING THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $112 TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLE'S AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT. JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF GM'S "IMPECCABLE" SERVICE. I FEEL LIKE WE'RE STUCK BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE AND MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE AT STAKE. WE ALSO HAD AN INFINITI WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY PROMPTLY AND PROFESSIONALLY HANDLED THE SITUATION. THIS HAS NOT BEEN MY EXPERIENCE WITH GM.

THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAUSING THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF OR NOT MOVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE AM ON THE FREEWAY, CITY STREET AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. I HAVE TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM MORE THEN FOUR TIMES AND SAME ISSUE KEEPS HAPPENING.

WHEN EXITING HIGHWAY COMING UP TO A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT OR JUST BRAKING, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING OR SPUTTERING, WHILE STILL ROLLING WITH NO WARNING. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PULLING A TRAILER. NO POWER BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. THE ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH AND A HALF AND TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I AM TOLD EVERY TIME "CAN'T DUPLICATE SO AS OF NOW NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD TO STEER CLEAR OF CAR IN FRONT OF ME SEVERAL TIMES AS TO NOT CRASH. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. TOLD BY ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO, THAT SINCE NO CODE WAS PRODUCED AND CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, NOTHING THEY CAN DO. TOLD THE PROBLEM IS UNKNOWN. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE FORUMS WHERE SAME MAKE AND YEARS ARE HAVING SAME PROBLEM. HERE ARE JUST A FEW SITES WHERE YOU CAN SEE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH SEVERAL GMC MAKES: HTTP://WWW.TAHOEYUKONFORUM.COM/THREADS/2007-GMC-DENALI-STALLS-AFTER-TOWING.73312/ HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T70408_DS604621 STALLING-WHEN-ROLLING-STOP.HTML HTTPS://GMCOWNERS.COM/GMC-FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=24680 HTTP://WWW.CADILLACFORUMS.COM/FORUMS/CADILLAC-ESCALADE-EXT-ESV-FORUM-2007/278037-2007-ESCALADE-STALLING-WHEN-ROLLING-STOP.HTML I HOPE THAT SOME DOESN'T HAVE TO GET INJURED OR DIE FOR NHTSA TAKES THIS PROBLEM SERIOUS.

I'M WRITING THIS AS JUST LIKE LOADS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE BOTH A 07 YUKON DENALI AND AN 07 SILVERADO 2500 BOTH HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE DENALI IS THE WORST. CRACKED DASHBOARD. I'M WORRIED THAT IF I WAS TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY THAT SHARP PIERCES OF THE DASHBOARD WILL GO FLYING TOWARDS THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE. GM REALLY SHOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON THIS AS IT IS A COMMON ISSUE RIGHT THROUGH ALL THE VECHILES THAT SHARE THE SAME DASHBOARD. SEEMS LATELY EVERY WEEK THE CRACKS GET WORSE. I'M WAITING FOR THE DAY THE DASHBOARD FALLS TO PIECES. IT STARTED AROUND APRIL BUT SINCE THEN THE DASH HAS FALLEN TO PIECES SO MUCH SINCE THEN.

I HAVE RECEIVED PAPERWORK JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY INFLATORS ARE DEFECTIVE ACCORDING TO TAKATA. THE WORDING STATES THEIR DEFECTIVE OPERATION DUE TO DEGRADATION COULD RESULT IN "RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." ON THE SAME NOTICE, GM STATES THEY WILL NOTIFY ME WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO STATE MY VEHICLE IS "SAFE TO DRIVE". FIRST OF ALL, THIS IS RIDICULOUS THAT GM IS ALLOWED TO COVER THEMSELVES BY SENDING OUT SUCH A CONTRADICTORY LETTER. I HAVE FOLLOWED UP IN JULY 2016, OCTOBER 2016, AND NOW AUG. 2017. I AM CONTINUALLY TOLD THERE IS NO PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE ALSO NO PARTS AVAILABLE YET FOR A REPAIR......... NOW, IN AN ATTEMPT TO SELL THE VEHICLE, POTENTIAL CUSTOMERS ARE LOOKING UP THE VIN, SEEING THIS RELATED INFORMATION AND TELLING ME THEY CAN'T BUY IT FROM ME WITHOUT ME REPAIRING IT, OR THEY CAN'T PAY NEAR MY ASKING PRICE. SO..... I HAVE A VEHICLE MY WIFE DOESN'T LIKE TO DRIVE, I CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THE DEALER SAYS THERE ARE NO PARTS AND THEY AREN'T REQUIRED TO DO ANYTHING YET BECAUSE NHTSA IS GIVING THEM MORE TIME, AND I CAN'T EASILY SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT COMES UP ON THIS LISTING IN A VIN SEARCH REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE OR NOT. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE TREATMENT OF ME BY BOTH PARTIES.
