I OWN A 2007 GM YUKON XL. IN OR ABOUT MAY-JUNE OF 2009 THE CAR BEGAN RUNNING BADLY AND SMELLED OF GAS. I RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER (SUN PONTIAC GMC OF WANTAGH, NY) AND THEY SAID THEY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND TIME AGAIN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARING AND ONSTAR CALLS TO SEE IF I WAS OKAY. MANY REPORTS FROM ONSTAR ALSO CONFIRM THIS. AFTER MANY TRIPS TO SUN PONTIAC THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAD REFUSED TO ISSUE ME A REPAIR ORDER BECAUSE YUKONS WERE HAVING EXPLOSIVE CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY MINE. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THEY NEVER HAD ANY SUCH PROBLEM AND REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. I WAS ORDERED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE IT TOWED FROM MY HOME BECAUSE OF THE SAME EXPLOSIVE CONDITION. SINCE JUNE 2009 I HAVE HAD OVER 300 PHONE CONVERSATIONS WITH GM. I PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE ENTIRE REAR END UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE IN PIECES. I HAVE READ AND BEEN TOLD THAT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT EVEN AFTER THEY REPLACED HARNESSES, GAS TANKS, TUBES, GAS LINES ETC. IT COULD NOT BE FIXED. THE LAST WORDS OUT OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT SUN WAS THAT " I WOULDN'T DRIVE THAT CAR IF I WERE YOU BECAUSE IT MIGHT BLOW UP". I KNEW THAT GM WOULD NEVER ADMIT TO ANY OF THIS SO I TAPED MOST OF MY CONVERSATIONS WITH ALL OF THEIR HEAD OFFICIALS AND STORED NUMEROUS COPIES WITH TWO SEPARATE ATTORNEY'S, MY FAMILY AND ONE COUSIN WHO WORKS FOR THE MEDIA IN CASE ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN. IT WAS ADMITTED TO ME A GM THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME AND IT WOULDN'T BE THE LAST. I HAVE TAKEN MY YUKON OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED IT AWAY FROM ANYTHING FLAMMABLE WITH VERY LITTLE GAS IN THE TANK (WELL, THAT WAS HOW GM LEFT IT. I HAVE PROOF THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS FULLY AWARE THAT YUKONS MIGHT START BLOWING UP YET I HAVEN'T SEEN A RECALL AND I HAVE A $46,000.00 PILE OF RUBBISH IN MY DRIVEWAY. *TR

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. *NJ THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIRS SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL. *JB

TWO WEEKS AGO A WARNING LIGHT WENT ON INDICATING "SERVICE AIR BAG". TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE TODAY AND SUMMARY FROM TECH WAS "PERFORMED TECH TWO DIAGNOSTIC SCAN. FOUND DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE B0087 SUPPLEMENTAL INFLATABLE RESTRAINT CIRCUIT. FURTHER DIAGNOSIS IS NEEDED." DECIDED TO EXPLORE VIA INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE APPEARS TO BE A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE: NHTSA #10023755. IF THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THIS, THEY DID NOT STATE ANYTHING. SUGGESTION FROM DEALER WAS THAT THEY REPLACE THE SENSOR AND IF THAT DID NOT WORK THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE "SENSOR COMPUTER". *TR

THE BACK UP CAMERA WENT FUZZY AND THEN QUIT WORKING, THE DVD PLAYER, STEREO AND TURN SIGNALS ALL QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF BEFORE IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN. ON THE WAY HOME EVERYTHING QUIT WORKING AGAIN, IT WAS SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE IT WOULD WORK. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING I WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE DRIVERS SEAT ALL OF THE SUDDEN WENT ALL THE WAY FORWARD AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT WENT STRAIGHT UP, SO THAT MY HUSBANDS FACE WAS IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND HIS LEGS WERE JAMMED UP UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL. HE WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OK. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON,THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND USING ALOT OF GAS( 9 MILES TO THE GALLON) 3RD ROW SEAT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN PLACE( LOCK TO THE FLOOR) AUTO GARAGE DOOR OPENER IN CAR WILL NOT WORK. *TR

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE GAUGES WENT OUT, THE TRACTION CONTROL WENT OUT, THE BRAKES STARTED PULSATING AND STOPPED THE CAR ALL BY IT SELF. THIS ALL HAPPENED AFTER THE INCIDENT THAT I DESCRIBED IN COMPLAINT (ODI) # [XXX]. *TR PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 70 MPH, WHEN THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES LOCKED UP, THE YUKON STARTED VIOLENTLY JERKING AROUND, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING VERY HARD,THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF CAUSING NO STEERING. ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. IT WAS AN HOUR LATER BEFORE THE CAR WOULD RESTART AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL NOT WORKING RIGHT, SHIFTING GEARS EXTREMELY HARD. *TR
