2009 GMC Yukon Denali Problems

TAKATA RECALL - CALLED DEALERS IN PHX AREA AND CALLED GM. THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED. NOTICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED SINCE 2016

I AM CONCERNED OF THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY PASSENGERS. OVER 1 YEAR AND STILL NO RESOLUTION. I KEEP ON BEING TOLD CALL BACK AND CALL BACK. WHY SO LONG TO REPLACE? THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN DUE TO POOR QUALITY AND MANY OWNERS HAVE DASHBOARD ISSUES.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS PREMATURE DETERIORATION AND CRACKING ON THE DASHBOARD FROM THE MIDDLE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED (BENTLEY BUICK GMC, 2120 DRAKE AVE SW, HUNTSVILLE, AL 35805, 1-(256) 536-2475). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE REMEDY AND PART HAD NOT BEEN AVAILABLE SINCE MID MAY OF 2016 PERTAINING TO THE AIR BAG RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

AT 80,000 MILES I DISCOVERED THAT MY DASH IS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES AND THAT IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO PASSENGERS IF THE CRACK (THAT IS SHARP PLASTIC) IS TO CUT OR RUPTURE THE AIRBAG IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND NEVER KEPT OUTSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE GM PROBLEM AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS THAT NEED THIS FIXED. THERE ARE EVEN FACEBOOK GROUPS WITH THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ACROSS MULTIPLE VEHICLES. THIS CRACK LITERALLY HAPPENED OUT OF NO WHERE.

VEHICLE DOES NOT START BECAUSE OF DEAD BATTERY. VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. DEALER STATES BATTERY IS FINE. ON THE SECOND INCIDENT A NEW BATTERY IS PURCHASED. DEALER CONTINUES TO STATE OF NOT SEEING AN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT STARTED ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS. FIVE TIMES TOTAL IN A TWO YEAR PERIOD. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. TO COPE WITH THE ISSUE WE HAVE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND A BATTERY JUMP STARTER. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS FOR A VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE IS A NORMAL GMC YUKON DENALI. WE HAVE NOT ADDED ANY AFTERMARKET PARTS. WE FEEL THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS ADDRESS AND FIX AT THEIR COST. *TR

THE PAST FEW DAYS WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND HIGHWAYS AT ALL DIFFERENT SPEEDS, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY RADIO POWERING OFF AND ON EVERY FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING LIGHT TO HAVE MY TIRE PRESSURE SERVICED, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT HAS LIT UP AND A STABILITRAK WARNING MESSAGE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. WHAT IF MY VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUTS DOWN WHILE I AM DRIVING? THERE ARE NO RECALLS ACCORDING TO GMC'S WEBSITE. I ALSO WANT TO REPORT THAT MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND STARTING TO SEPARATE, WHICH WORRIES ME SINCE THE CRACK IS NEAR MY AIRBAGS, AND CRACKED OVER MY STEERING COLUMN. GMC HAS NO RECALL FOR THIS EITHER AND I HAVE LEARNED THAT IT'S A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH OWNER'S OF YUKONS AND TAHOES AROUND MY YEAR MODEL. I HAVE 119K MILES ON MY VEHICLE SO I AM SURE GMC WILL NOT REPAIR ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY FOR IT MYSELF, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME, ESPECIALLY WHEN I FEEL MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT RISK.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED; THE FAILURE WAS SIMILAR TO RECALL 09V154000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). HE WAS ABLE TO RESET THE LIGHT AND IT TURNED OFF; HOWEVER, THE NEXT DAY THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE HAD A SHORTAGE AND REPLACED THE MODULE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 80,272.

LEFT REAR SEAT BELT FAILS TO EXTRACT. WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE LOCK BAR WAS SEIZED UP AND COULD NOT BE RELEASED AND THAT THE ENTIRE SEATBELT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS ONLY A 6 YEAR OLD VEHICLE AND AT 6'4 270 I DON'T HAVE ANYONE EVER SIT BEHIND ME. THIS IS PROBABLY THE LEAST USED SEATBELT IN MY YUKON. . SAFETY DEVICES SUCH AS SEAT BELTS & AIR BAGS SHOULD NEVER FAIL EVER ! IF THEY DO THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE DUE TO POOR DESIGN. I JUST THANK GOD IT DIDN'T MALFUNCTION DURING AN ACCIDENT. GMC'S SEAT BELT DESIGN NEEDS TO BE REDESIGNED.
