2008 GMC Yukon Denali Problems

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V383000 (AIR BAGS). AFTER CONTACTING HENDRIX GMC (1127 KENTINGTON DR, DURHAM, NC) AND THE MANUFACTURER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. GM HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT AND PEOPLE ARE DYING. WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA OR SOME OTHER REGULATORY AGENCY HELD GM ACCOUNTABLE? I UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS APPLIED AND BEEN DENIED 2 TIMES SO FAR TO GET OUT OF ADDRESSING THIS RECALL? THEY ARE WAITING ON A DENIAL FOR THE 3RD APPLICATION? I AM OUTRAGED THAT GM HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS WANTED DISREGARD FOR SAFETY.

I'M TRYING TO SEE IF GM IS RECALLING FOR CRACKED DASHBOARDS

CRACKED DASHBOARD, DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT AIRBAG SAFETY IF DEPLOYED DUE TO PROXIMITY TO CRACK AND SHARP EDGES ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. DOOR HANDLES FALLING OFF, EVEN AFTER REPLACEMENT. FEAR OF UNLAWFUL ENTRY INTO CAR. GM UNWILLING TO CORRECT SUBSTANDARD PARTS.

CPSC:I HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI WITH 80K MILES. ALL 4 EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE BROKEN BECAUSE OF A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHICH HAS BEEN RECALLED IN PREVIOUS YEARS. THE DOORS WILL CLOSE AND LOCK THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR ON OCCASION AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN AN EMERGENCY. ALSO THE INTERIOR OF EACH DOOR HANDLE IS COATED WITH A "CHROME" SURFACE COVERING THAT PEELS BACK AND HAS INCREDIBLY SHARP EDGES WHICH HAVE CUT ALL 5 OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS, THIS IS ALSO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH DENALI'S AND HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE PAST. *BF

3 OF THE DOOR ACTUATORS BROKE AND WEREN'T ABLE TO BE LOCKED USING THE KEYPAD OR THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS. *TR

INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DOORS LOCKS AND WINDOWS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN I SHUT MY CAR OFF IT DIES. LIKE I CAN'T TURN IT BACK ON. RUNNING BOARDS DON'T GO UP, CAN'T LOCK IT, NOTHING. DEAD. THEN 15 MINUTES LATER IT'S FINE. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, IT'S LIKE IT'S CUTTING OUT, NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER OR DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY FLASH. I JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. I'M JUST AFRAID SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. WE ALSO USE THE YUKON TO TOW A TRAILER. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON IT. THE SHOP CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEY JUST LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M CRAZY.

MY BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA TIRES ARE EXTREMELY DRY ROTTED. SO BAD THAT THE SIDEWALL CRACKED BAD ENOUGH TO LEAK AIR. TIRES STILL HAVE LOTS OF TREAD LEFT.

I HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI IN WHICH THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN APPROXIMATELY 4 PLACES. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF I EVER GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY. IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS I THINK THIS DASH BOARD WILL ALSO HURT SOMEONE.

THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THE VEHICLE TAKE 5-10 SECONDS BEFORE RESPONDING, RESULTING IN DELAY OF MERGING AND STALLING AT STOP LIGHTS. IT BECOMES DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AND TAKING OFF, I HAVE HAD INDIVIDUALS ALMOST SLAM INTO ME AND I HAVE RAN INTO A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. IT SUDDENLY TAKE OFF, LEAVING THE DRIVER OFF GUARD. *TR

VEHICLE HAS TRANSMISSION DEFECT. MERGING INTO TRAFFIC IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE TRANSMISSION OFTEN SELECTS TOO HIGH OF A GEAR AND THERE IS NO POWER FOR THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER/PASSENGERS IN DANGER DUE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES DOWNSHIFT INTO TOO LOW OF A GEAR, CAUSING IT TO LUNGE FORWARD AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED THAT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. DEALER AND GMC HAVE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM SAYING IT IS NORMAL OPERATION. *TR

JUST BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THE RECALL ON THE GMC SILVERADOS. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE ON MY YUKON DENALI. I PURCHASED A CAR IN DECEMBER OF 2016. AND I'VE HAD AT LEAST EIGHT OR MORE INCIDENTS. OF THE CAR EITHER NOT STARTING OR SHUTTING OFF FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS AT ABOUT A 15 MILE AN HOUR TURN. I FEEL AS THOUGH MY VEHICLE COULD BE AFFECTED THE SAME WAY AS THESE ARE. I WOULD LIKE A REMEDY TO WHY MY CAR SHUTS OFF DURING A LOW-RPM TURN. WHEN THE CAR COMES BACK ON ALL GAUGE LIGHTS COME ON FOR A BRIEF SECOND. AND THE THERMOSTAT GOES UP A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE THE FAN HAD SHUT OFF FOR A MINOR SECOND.
