2007 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED A "SERVICE AIR BAG" MESSAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EWALD CHEVROLET BUICK LOCATED AT 36833 E WISCONSIN AVE, OCONOMOWOC, WI 53066 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR IN THE FRONT BUMPER HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

TAKATA RECALL: THE GMC SERVICE MANAGER REPEATEDLY TOLD ME THAT A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. I WOULD LIKE THE DANGEROUS AIR BAG(S) REMOVED PENDING THE REPLACEMENT. I SENT THE FOLLOW LETTER TO THE GMC DEALER: AUGUST 31, 2017 COLEMAN GMC MR. [XXX], OWNER 100 RENAISSANCE BLVD. LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ 08648 RE: TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL 2007 YUKON-XL, NJ LICENSE [XXX] VIN #[XXX]. DEAR MR. COLEMAN, I WAS ORIGINALLY ASSURED THAT MY YUKON-XL DID NOT CONTAIN A TAKATA AIR BAG. A SUBSEQUENT RECALL IDENTIFIED MY VEHICLE AS CONTAINING THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG AND I ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN IT COMES AVAILABLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK FOR SERVICE AND AGAIN I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT AVAILABLE. I WOULD LIKE THE AIR BAG REMOVED WHILE WE WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE IDEA OF AN EXPLODING AIR BAG SPRAYING SHRAPNEL IN THE VEHICLE CABIN IS INCREDIBLY DISTURBING. I UNDERSTAND THAT DRIVERS HAVE BEEN BLINDED AND KILLED BY THIS SHRAPNEL. HAVING NO AIR BAG IS SAFER THAN SITTING IN FRONT OF A CLAYMORE MINE! PLEASE CONTACT ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE TO SCHEDULE REMOVAL AND THEN EVENTUAL REPLACEMENT OF THIS AIRBAG. SINCERELY, [XXX] CC NHTSA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR *JS
