2007 GMC YUKON XL 1500 Complaints

TAKITA RECALL. I DID A VIN SEARCH AND FOUND THERE HAS BEEN AN OPEN RECALL FOR JUST SHY OF 3 YEARS WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. WHAT SHOULD BE DONE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE STABILITRAK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT FIRST EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE TWO YEARS AGO AND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BRAEGER CHEVROLET (4100 S 27TH ST, MILWAUKEE, WI 53221). THE DEALER REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED FOR THE RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000.

TAKATA RECALL MY WIFE FILED A COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS SHARED AND REGISTERED TO BOTH OF US BUT REALIZED AFTER FILING SHE TYPED 2017 INSTEAD OF 2007. RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. TAKATA WAS TO REPLACE. CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP, SILVEIRA IN HEALDSBURG, SEVERAL TIMES BUT PART WAS NEVER PROVIDED TO OUR DEALERSHIP BY TAKATA. STILL NO REPLACEMENT AND HAVE SAME DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS IN CAR!

TAKATA RECALL. WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM GMC IN JULY 2016. THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL. HOW CAN THEY MAKE AN ENTIRE YEAR'S WORTH OF NEW CARS AND STILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAKE CURRENTLY OWNED CARS SAFE. THIS KIND OF DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT CAN LEAD TO DEATH.

AFTER RECEIVING A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE, I CONTACTED JACK WILSON GMC TWICE REQUESTING THAT ALL TAKATA INFLATORS BE REMOVED FROM MY VEHICLE AND THEY REFUSED. GMC SAID THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THEY HAD REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT HAVE NOT. I TOLD THEM I DID NOT CARE IF NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE OR IF I HAD WORKING AIRBAGS, BUT I WANTED THE DANGEROUS INFLATORS OUT! THEY SAID NO.

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION IN JULY 2016 YET TO DATE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE LETTER STATES THE MANUFACTURE DEEMS THEM UNSAFE. WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN REPLACED. OTHER CAR COMPANIES HAVE COMPLETED THE REPLACEMENT PROCESS.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET NEAR HOME. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER AND I HAD TO LIMP BACK HOME. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I'M TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAS A COLLAPSED LIFTER IN CYLINDER SEVEN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW AN ENGINE CAN EXPERIENCE THAT TYPE OF FAILURE WITH ONLY 44.000 MILES. I CONTACTED GM AND THEIR STANCE IS REGARDLESS OF LOW MILEAGE, THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTEE. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SERIOUS HAZARD, BECAUSE A FAILURE LIKE THIS, IF OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL BURDEN AS IT COST ME $3700 TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPAIRED. IN CHECKING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE GM 5.3L ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. WHEN TALKING WITH A GM CORPORATE REP I STATED, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW, OR DEFECT PART, BUT WAS BLOWN OFF BECAUSE I'M OUT OF WARRANTEE. WHAT HAPPENED TO STANDING BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT?

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASHBOARD STARTED TO CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE & PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED AT THE TIME I WAS ON LOCAL STREETS GOING ABOUT 22 MPH

TAKATA RECALL AND DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD. 2007 GMC YUKON WAS PURCHASED USED WITH OVER 100K. SHORTLY AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN 2015 THE DASHBOARD LITERALLY CAVED IN WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED STREET. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND SPEAKING WITH FELLOW YUKON AND TAHOE OWNERS, I DETERMINED THE PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND CONSISTENT IN TERMS OF CRACKING AREAS AND MAGNITUDE. I CALLED GMC AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONSIDER SUBSIDIZING A PORTION OF THE REPAIR COST BUT I HAD TO GET AN ESTIMATE FROM A LOCAL GMC SERVICE CENTER. AFTER CONTACTING THE GMC SERVICE CENTER I WAS TOLD A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WOULD APPLY FOR A REPAIR QUOTE, TO WHICH I DISAGREED GIVEN THE NEED FOR AN ESTIMATE ONLY. I SPOKE ONCE MORE WITH GMC STATING I WOULD NOT PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE GIVEN THE NATURE OF THE REQUEST AND UNKNOWN REMEDY. AT THE PRESENT MOMENT THE AIR BAGS ARE ALSO UNDER RECALL BUT UNAVAILABLE. THE CRACKING DASHBOARD AND DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS CREATE A VOLATILE SAFETY SITUATION FOR MY FAMILY AND I. ALL THIS INFORMATION HAS BEEN SHARED WITH GMC VIA A CERTIFIED LETTER, TO WHICH THEY SENT A LETTER STATING I SHOULD CALL IF MY REQUEST HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE CALL RESULTED IN A NOTICE THAT I ALONE AM FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE AND HAZARDOUS DASHBOARD AND NO ASSISTANCE WOULD BE PROVIDED. I COMPLETELY ACKNOWLEDGE THE STATE OF THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER, THE SHEER NUMBERS OF THIS OCCURRENCE CLEARLY INDICATE THE DASHBOARDS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

WHEN I'M DRIVING AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS FLICKER THIS INCLUDES EVERY LIGHT OUTSIDE BEAMS INSIDE DASH EVERYWHERE. IT HAPPENS WHEN IT'S IN MOTION OR NOT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE THE FLICKERING IS A DISTRACTION TO OTHER DRIVERS INCLUDING YOURSELF. WHEN FOCUSING ON ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY START FLICKERING AND IT DISTRACTS EVERYONE DRAMATICALLY. I ALMOST WRECKED TWICE BECAUSE OF THIS AND HAVE TOLD MY DEALER SHIP "TRINITY AUTOMOTIVE" AND THEY HAVE YET TO FIX IT. *TR
