TAKATA RECALL LOCAL DEALER CONTINUES TO REFUSE TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INVOLVED IN GM RECALL 49151 ISSUED IN A JULY 2016! THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN LOUISIANA AND HAS SPENT MUCH OF ITS LIFE THERE - LOUISIANA IS CONSIDERED A CRITICAL, FIRST PRIORITY AREA UNDER YOU RECALL. I NOW UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS SUBMITTED A THIRD REQUEST FOR WAIVER - PLEASE DENY AND REQUIRE GM TO FOLLOW YOUR ORDER.
TAKATA RECALL. WHEN WILL THIS MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049152, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V383 BE RESOLVED? INFORMATION BETWEEN GM AND NHTSA HAS BEEN EXCHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RESOLUTION EVEN THOUGH THE DATES FOR INFORMATION EXCHANGE AND PETITIONS IS LONG PAST.
CRACKED DASHBOARD
DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES.
THE DASH ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER HAS A HUGE CRACK AND THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER CRACK BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I NOTICED IT WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED ALL NIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE.
HAVE A RECALL ON THE PASSENGER TAKATA AIRBAG FOR OVER A YEAR. DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART AND WILL NOT HAVE A REPLACEMENT PART. GM IS STATING IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE, EVEN THOUGH 20 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED RELATED TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG SYSTEM. MANUFACTURERS SHOULD HAVE AN OBLIGATION ON KEEPING THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE. ALSO NO RESPONSE FROM GM ON THE DEPRECIATION OF THE VEHICLES VALUE DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT.
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED AND CALLED EVERY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AIRBAG RECALL AND THEY ALL TELL ME THE SAME THING THAT IT IS AT THE MERCY OF GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY CAN NOT DO ANY WORK UNTIL GM GIVE THE GREEN LIGHT. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT BOTH GM AND TK HOLDINGS BY PHONE BUT TO MY SURPRISE NO ANSWER SO I EMAILED THEM BOTH AS WELL. I READ THAT THERE IS A DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 27TH 2017 AND I DO NOT WANT THE RUN AROUND. THANK YOU
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG ON MY 2008 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, I CONTACTED THE LOCAL GMC DEALER, KEY BUICK GMC, AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL WAS SET-UP IN JULY, 2016, HOWEVER, THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE SO FAR. BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING THE AIR BAG IN THE VEHICLE CAN EXPLODE. I ASSUME THAT GM AND/OR THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AIR BAG SHOULD PLACE THIS MATTER AS THEIR UTMOST PRIORITY TO COME-UP WITH THE REMEDY BEFORE HUMAN LIVES ARE ADVERSELY EFFECTED. PLEASE ADVISE ME HOW I CAN MAKE MY VEHICLE SAFER.
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN SENT A NOTICE SAYING THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED AS TO WHEN IT CAN BE FIXED. STILL NOTHING AND NOW I GET THIS NOTICE OF CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY. I AM NOT SURE AT THIS POINT WHAT ACTION TO TAKE. IS MY VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE? WHEN WILL I GET THE RECALL NOTICE FROM GMC THAT I CAN HAVE IT FIXED.
"TAKATA RECALL". BEEN TRYING TO GET AIR BAGS REPLACED BUT DEALERSHIPS KEEP SAYING THEY CANT GET THEM IN
ENGINE FAILURE AT 64,000 MILES. DROVE VEHICLE FROM HOME AND THEN VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY. TRUCK DRIVING FINE UP UNTIL THAT POINT. NO WARNING SIGNS. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEFOREHAND. VEHICLE NOW AT GMC DEALERSHIP AND NEEDS NEW ENGINE FOR UP TO $10,000. GMC IS NOT COVERING THE EXPENSE. GAVE $2,000 TOWARDS THE REPAIR. VEHICLE PAST WARRANTY PERIOD. ENGINE SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 64,000 MILES. REGULARLY MAINTAINED.
MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO SPOTS. ONE BY THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE OTHER BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE'S A FACEBOOK WHERE ALMOST 7000 PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/
THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING OFF, AND IT CUT MY WIFE'S HAND TODAY. THERE ARE 3 OF THE 4 DOORS THAT HAVE IT PEELING, AND I AM WORRIED ONE OF MY CHILDREN WILL CUT THERE FINGERS ALSO.
I WAS REAR ENDED AT APPROXIMATELY 8:00 AM THIS MORNING. BOTH MY VEHICLE AND THE TRUCK THAT HIT ME LIKELY SUFFERED DAMAGE THAT WILL RESULT IN THEM BEING TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. I HAVE A MAJOR CONCERN ABOUT MY AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. I HAVE NOT YET READ THE POLICE REPORT, BUT THE DODGE RAM TRUCK THAT HIT ME WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT HIT MY YUKON WITH GREAT FORCE. THIS WAS ON A HIGHWAY (204TH STREET) IN ELKHORN, NE
MY DASH HAS CRACKED ABOUT 5 INCHES ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR NO APPARENT REASON. A SEARCH REVEALS THIS IS SEEMINGLY A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY YEAR VEHICLE.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD WAS SPLIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS SPLITTING DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE AIR BAG. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED FOR THE REPAIR WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,043. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
I BOUGHT THIS SUV FROM LEGENDS AUTO SALE. AFTER I BOUGHT IT, I NOTICE THE ENGINE BAY WAS REAL RUSTY LIKE ITS BEEN IN WATER OR DRIVEN OVER LOTS OF WATER. I DIDNT GET A CAR FAX AT TIME OF PURCHASES BUT DID CAR FAX MYSELF , AND IT APPEARED THAT VEHICLE IS FROM NEW ORLEANS. WITH ALL THE DIRT AND GRIM COMING OUT OF VEHICLE ITS DIFFENTLY FROM NEW ORLEANS. SO FAR I REPLACED NEW PADS AND ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE SWITCH, NEW SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES. THE PROBLEM OCCURRING NOW IS THAT MY TRAC LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT WILL COME ON AFTER HALF HOUR OF DRIVING AND CAR SEIZES UP AND I'M UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I WOULD HAVE TO SHUT OFF ENGINE AND LET REST FOR HALF HOUR TO AN HOUR BEFORE LIGHTS GOES AWAY AND I'M ABLE TO MOVE AGAIN. I'M NOT SURE BUT IT MIGHT BE DUE TO IT BEING IN THE FLOOD THUS CAUSING CORROSION AND RUSTING IN ALL PARTS OF VEHICLE. I DON'T HAVE DOCUMENTS ON ME AT THIS TIME AS I MISPLACED IT BUT CAN GET IT AGAIN AND UPLOAD IMAGE.
COMPLETE PERFORATION OF FRAME BY RUST, IMPACTING ABILITY TO SECURELY MOUNT FRONT ANTI-ROLL BAR. DISCOVERED IN MARCH OF 2016. GM HAS OFFERED NO RESOLUTION.
JUST LIKE HUNDREDS OF OTHERS, MY DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING RIGHT AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURING FLAW SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY THAT HAVE DONE THIS IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE! MY VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION BESIDES THE DASH BEING CRACKED!
CRACKED DASH NEAR AIRBAG. THIS SEEMS DANGEROUS.
THE DASH HAS SEVERELY CRACKED ON THE DASHBOARD SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG AND I FEAR IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THIS WOULD TURN INTO SHRAPNEL.
OUR 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL HAS DEVELOPED 3 SEPARATE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, ONE IS A VERY LARGE CRACK NEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND RUNNING UP OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE IS ON DRIVER SIDE NEAR LARGE CRACK AT INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE HAVE CONCERNS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYS, SHARP PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASH MAY BREAK LOOSE AND INJURE PASSENGERS IN OUR VEHICLE.

90K MILES ON MY 2008 YUKON DENALI XL. DASH IS CRACKING IN FRONT OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON DASH. SEEMS TO BE A NOT TOO UNCOMMON DEFECT. IVE ATTEMPTED TO GLUE IT UNTIL IT CAN BE REPAIRED.
DASH IS CRACKED OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL AND INTO AIR BAG COMPARTMENT MAKING THIS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.
