What 2008 GMC Yukon Denali XL owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Takata recall. When will this manufacturer recall number 2049152, the federal safety agency recall number 16v383 be resolved? Information between gm and the federal safety agency 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
