General motors sent me a recall letter with a recall # of 49151 back in july of 2016. This addressed a defective takata airbag which could deploy and kill myself or a family member or cause terrible injuries to anyone in close proximity of the defective airbags. I have called general motors approx. (6) times and I have not received any satisfactory results that would resolve the airbag problem or to repair the defective airbag. There has been a period of two (2) years and eight (8) months of time that has expired with no repairs or resolves of the problem. This lack of caring and failure to act is putting myself as well as my entire family at jeopardy of death or debilitating injury due to a defective takata airbag. I urge those in a position of authority to act quickly and decisively to correct this problem as soon as possible...'''''''...

Defect investigations
Interior Door Handle Laceration Risk
The investigated concern involved chrome plating on interior door handles that could peel or separate from the plastic base material.This de-lamination could result in a sharp edge and pose a risk of laceration.In some cases, consumers reported minor hand/skin lacerations.Of these reported injuries, the vast majority of injuries were to adults.Ninety percent of claims associated with interior door handle de-lamination were related to the front doors.In addition to the above Tahoe/Yukon vehicles, other GMT 900 series C/K vehicles (Avalanche, Escalade, Sierra, Silverado, and Suburban) have a trim level that utilizes the chrome plated interior door handles and were included in the analysis.The resultant population group had a total of 746 complaint reports with 309 injury incidents and 43,619 unique VIN regular warranty claims over a combined 451,745 vehicle population.The door handle supplier was changed in September 2006 with new tooling and process in place by October 2006.The base population prior to the September 2006 vendor change accounted for the bulk (or 89%) of all complaints and comparable injury reports and warranty claims.Due to the nature of the failure (thin chrome plating peeling off the door handle), only minor hand/skin laceration injuries similar to a paper cut were recorded.All but a few did not require professional medical treatment such as surgical or liquid sutures (i.e. stitches).Less than 10% of injury reports had specifically involved a 3-10 year old child.This was due to the fact that 90% of the claims were associated with door handles located in the front seating area (where the window glass panels usually have less solar tinting than rear window glass panels) where children are not normally seated. In July 2010, GM issued a Special Coverage Policy (SCP 09239) on the base vehicles to extend the warranty coverage to 10 years/100k miles.Recent data indicate that the base population complaint and injury reporting have subsided since the implementation of the SCP campaign.In June 2011, GM added the remaining interim population (Sep-Oct 2006) to the SCP.A safety-related defect has not been identified at this time and further use of agency resources does not appear to be warranted.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by the federal safety agency that a safety-related defect does not exist.The agency will monitor this issue and reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

What 2007 GMC Yukon Denali owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon denali. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags). Moore automotive group (2255 marietta hwy, canton, ga 30114, (470) 615-1485) was unable to determine when the part would be supplied from the manufacturer. A loaner vehicle was not offered. The manufacturer was contacted 4 times. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available. *pm
Takata recall started vehicle on 2-1-19 and after turning ignition on passenger air bag exploded out and the side panels followed. Vehicle was in park and had not been driven in a few days. It all happened extremely fast but I saw glovebox burst open and sparks fly out and the airbag sounded like an explosion! Scared to death! I jumped out unsure what was going on and the side panel bag grazed my face! Could have ended badly if happened while driving.
Recall has been issued 2 years ago without any remedy. Called gm and still no time frame as to when they'll have the parts.
Front passenger air bag sensor js malfunctioning. It shows air bag service needed no impact was made there. Dealership says it's a malfunction. One day I go to start my car and the light showed it needs service.
Takata inflators it's in our 2018 almost 2019 and nothing has been done yet. When is this going to be fixed? Do people have to die before anything is done?
Dash has cracked in 3 places. Safety concern because two of them are by the air bag. Afraid if it ever deploys pieces will fly and could cause serious injury.
Takata air bag recall no fix for it can't sell it cause of problem
Power steering fluid is pouring out of the truck. My mechanic informed me that it is coming from the rack and pinion and that there is a tsb associated with this common problem. When I contacted gm they stated that the tsb covered the make, but that my VIN was not covered under the tsb and no further information could be provided. Even though it was the same year, make and model covered by the tsb.
I wish to add complaint for the dashboard crack issue near the passenger airbag, and suspect the airbag support/function may be compromised. I also have received many 'paper cuts' from inside door handles chrome over the years but was never contacted by gm or offered warranty replacement as your website states they did - I am the original owner of the vehicle.
