TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. HERITAGE BUICK GMC (930 EAST INTERSTATE HWY 30, ROCKWALL, TX 75087, (927)-807-0165) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

OWNED THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR WITH A 5 YEAR, $20,000 LOAN ATTACHED TO IT. THE CAR RANDOMLY STARTED SMOKING AND ALL KINDS OF WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF ON THE WAY BACK FROM THE STORE (ABOUT A MILE AWAY). I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND WALKED HOME, WENT BACK AFTER A COUPLE HOURS TO LET IT COOL DOWN AND IT WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND IT WAS DEEMED MY CAR WITH AROUND 80,000 MILES ON IT HAD A BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO SOMETHING WITH BELT (SAME ISSUE 2009 MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR) AND IT WAS GOING TO COST OUT OF MY OWN POCKET $7500 TO REPLACE IT WITH A USED ENGINE WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THE REPLACEMENT ENGINE WON'T HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. IN THE 3 WEEKS IT TOOK US TO DECIDE ON IF IT WAS EVEN POSSIBLY TO COME UP WITH THAT MUCH MONEY, ENGINE PRICES HAD ROSE ANOTHER $500 BECAUSE THEY ARE IN SUCH HOT DEMAND. ENDED UP HAVING TO LET THE BANK REPO IT, RUINING MY CREDIT, NO VEHICLE TO TAKE MY NEWBORN TWINS TO THEIR DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS, OR ANYWAY TO GET TO WORK. GMC NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR NOT PROMPTLY RESPONDING TO THIS DEFECT INSTEAD OF TURNING A BLIND EYE. I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DAY A CLASS ACTION SUIT IS FILED.

WHEN CAR IS PUT INTO PARK A 'ACTION REQUIRED' COMES UP SAYING 'SHIFT INTO GESR' WHICH THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY IN PARK. THEREFORE, WILL NOT SHUT OFF CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DRAIN AND DIE.

I'VE BEEN NOTICING THAT DRIVING IN THE SNOW THE THE WHEELS LOCK UP UP ESPECIALLY WHEN I AN TAKING A TURN. I BROUGHT THIS BACK TO CARMAX WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHIC AND THEY STATED THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY ANTILOCK BRAKES.

I WAS DRIVING UP NORTH IN 4WHEEL DRIVE AND TRANSMISSION CAM OUT OF GEAR I STOPPED THE VECHILE AND RESTARTED NOW THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND STEERING IS HARD TO STEER AND IT GOES IN AND OUT

I'VE TOOK IT TO CAR SHOP AND THEY SAID IT'S BURNING OIL. I HAVE TO GET OIL CHANGES EVERY 2500 MILES, AND IT'S LOW AFTER 2 WEEKS. I'VE CONSTANTLY ADDING OIL AND CHECK IT BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. THIS IS MY FIRST GMC AND I'M NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS ISSUE I'M HAVING. 104561 MILEAGE AND ENGINE LIGHT JUST CAME ON THIS WEEK. I'M VERY SCARE AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER ENGINE. IT'S TICKING LOUD AND MAKES NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATE. I ONLY WORK LESS THAN 5 MILES FROM HOME AND THIS IS JUST CRAZY.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED. AN ENTIRE PIECE CRACKED OFF JUST OVER THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIR BAG. I AM NOT CERTAIN EXACTLY WHEN IT CRACKED.

2014 GMC SIERRA VACUUM PUMP FAILURE AT 81,201 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN EPIDEMIC WITH THESE TRUCKS. I TOW AN 8,000 POUND TRAILER AND TO THINK THE TRUCK BRAKES COULD POTENTIALLY NOT WORK IS INSANITY. HOW DOES GM MAKE THE STEERING ELECTRIC ON THIS TRUCK AND PUT ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMPS ON THE CAMARO'S AND CORVETTES BUT DECIDES TO PUT A MECHANICAL VACUUM PUMP ON THE TRUCKS? THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
