I have tried to submit my yukon for tanaka recall remedy several times by contacting my local gmc dealership. Their service dept continues to tell me that they do not have parts available to modify my vehicle. A few years ago I broadsided a lexus SUV which 'ran a traffic light'. My airbags did not deploy, while several of the airbags deployed in the lexus. I felt that my life might have been at risk since the airbags did not deploy, or alternately, at even worst risk if they did explode upon deployment. Who is responsible for addressing this issue? The gmc dealer says they are not! I have photos of the accident and a police report stating that the lady was responsible for

I was sitting still in traffic when hit in the rear passenger quarter panel by a f150 truck traveling approx 65mph. It hit head on in the rear passenger tire & quarter panel. The tire was knocked off, axle knocked out of the vehicle, frame was damaged, rear air condition was crushed and the vehicle valued by state farm at $27,000 was totaled. The f150 was also totaled. An adult was in the driver seat, infant in 2nd row captain chair driver side, 8 yr old 2nd row captain chair passenger side, 5 yr old was in the 3d row passenger bucket seat at the point of impact. No air bags deployed and on star was not called. I called 911 from my cell phone & all passengers were taken to the hospital. State farm now owns this vehicle but I have pictures. Now my new 2010 yukon has a service air bag system light on. Something is seriously wrong with gm's air bag systems.

Traveling at night, at 65 miles an hour in a 2007 yukon sle2 4 dr wagon, I hit a steer (approximately 880lbs). Upon impact, the bottom of my power driver's seat moved forward and the back of the seat tilted forward, causing me to hit the steering wheel. I had to move the seat back to get out of the vehicle. The airbags did not deploy. I reported the incident to the dealer, and my insurance agent both verbally and in writing. The vehicle had over $11,000.00 worth of damage, but the repair center stated they were unable to find any damage to the seat. I traded the vehicle in, as I did not feel safe driving it with the seat not being replaced or repaired. The vehicle is now for sale again, and I am fearful that someone else will be in a wreck and the seat will malfunction again.
