2008 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

THE HATCH DOOR WILL NOT STAY OPEN IN COLD WEATHER. EVEN AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE 60'S, IT OPENS AND THEN CLOSES AND IS VERY FORCEFULLY, EVEN KNOCKED ME IN THE HEAD AND KEPT SHUTTING. IT IS ALWAYS STATIONARY AND ONLY IN COOLER WEATHER, ALL OTHER TIMES IT WORKS CORRECTLY.

NHTSA HAS NOT RESOLVED THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 4 YEARS AND 1 YEAR SINCE GM'S LAST PETITION TO IGNORE THE SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN IS NHTSA GOING TO ACT ON NHTSA-2016-0124?

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY CAUGHT FIRE IN THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS AT THE TIME OF THE FIRE. FIRE INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND PAID SUBSTANTIAL ATTENTION TO THE FRONT PASSENGERS SIDE DASH AREA ON BOTH THE INBOARD AND ENGINE COMPARTMENT SIDES OF THE DASH. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH PAST REPORTS OF FIRES STARTING DUE TO THE HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAD. THERE WAS NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON THIS CAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER GUNN BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 16440 INTERSTATE 35 FRONTAGE RD, SELMA, TX 78154, (210) 265-6143, WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE.

THERE HAS BEEN AN OUTSTANDING RECALL TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG(S) IN THIS VEHICLE. UNDERSTANDING THAT IT IS A WIDESPREAD RECALL THAT AFFECTS MANY VEHICLES BUT WHAT IS CONCERNING IS THAT THE RECALL STATES THAT IT IS MOST AFFECTED BY "LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS" WHICH THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN FLORIDA. I PERIODICALLY CHECK WITH THE DEALER AND THEY ALWAYS ADVISE THAT THERE'S NO UPDATE. I WOULD THINK IT SHOULD BE HANDLED MORE EXPEDITIOUSLY DUE TO THIS VEHICLE QUALIFYING TO THE EXACT CONDITIONS OF THE RECALL NOTICE AND THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NOW TWELVE YEARS OLD ALL WHICH HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA (A HOT AND HUMID REGION). PLEASE ADVISE... THANKS IN ADVANCE, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING LOSS, LOW SPEEDS. THE STEERING RACK WAS RECENTLY REPLACED. I SEE ONLINE THAT THERE IS AN ELECTRIC PANEL THAT MIGHT CAUSE THIS. WILL BRING BACK TO LOCAL SHOP TOMORROW. NOT SURE HOW THAT IS TESTED VS PUMP/LINE OR THE NEW RACK DEFECTIVE

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!
