2008 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

NHTSA-2016-0124 HAS BEEN PENDING SINCE 2016. GM HAS FILED A PETITION OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY. WHEN IS NHTSA GOING TO REACH A CONCLUSION ON THIS? IT IS WELL PAST THE DEADLINES NHTSA SET FOR GM TO PROVE THEIR CASE.

THERE ARE 3 MAJOR CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD, TWO OF WHICH EMINATE FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. I SEE WHERE THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE DASH BOARD NOW MOVES UP AND DOWN AND RATTLES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED BY MANUFACTURER THROUGH A RECALL. THE CRACKS JUST APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. I TAKE EXCEEDINGLY GOOD CARE OF CAR BUT REPLACING AN ENTIRE DASHBOARD BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED UP TO/INCLUDING THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD-MOUNTED AIRBAG, WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE INJURY FROM FLYING SHRAPNEL IF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OCCURS.

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.

5.3 SEVERE OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER DEACTIVATING THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IT DID SLOW THE CONSUMPTION BUT DID NOT ELEMINATE PROBLEM. NO OIL LEAKS ON ENGINE. MECHANIC SAID IT'S BURNING IT. SO HOW IS THE ECO FRIENDLY? I'VE OWED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 150K NOW I'M ABOUT 180K

TAKATA RECALL: HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A 2016 AIRBAG RECALL IS STILL BEING DISPUTED IN 2019? HONDA REPLACED MY AIRBAGS IN MY ACCORD IN 2017. WHY HASN'T NHTSA DENIED GMC'S REQUEST AND FORCED THEM TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS? PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND GET THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED!!!
