“Takata recall. I want to pay for the recall and complete the repair at a gmc dealer. I cannot. Nobody can get parts. I want to pay for the part and pay for the repair. While the recall is in limbo, I want to drive a safe vehicle. Please order gm to have user-parts available for user-pay recall repairs - please!. I cannot be held hostage to not being able to repair. I will sign a waiver to not claim the repair price after the recall is official.”Owner report · Air Bags · Oct 2018
“Vehicle will abruptly stop without any warning when starting to accelerate from zero up to about 10 mph. All engine indicator lights will flash including audible warnings of malfunction. I must come to a complete stop, put the vehicle in park, then proceed to restart the vehicle. A rear end collision is inevitable.”Owner report · Engine · Oct 2018

“When the truck goes from the auto stop to engine power the cluch in the transmission doesn't engage full shutting the truck off when trying to pull out from a stop. The truck has shut off several times when trying to pull out into traffic almost causing an accident with my 5 small children on board. Other times it will only partially engaged leaving you with almost no power to pull out in traffic. My truck is still under 100000 miles but over the 5 year warranty period.”Owner report · Power Train · Apr 2017
“Takata recall it has been six months since this recall was issued. This yukon has been kept and driven for several years in the hot/humid conditions indicated in the recall. I do not feel it is safe, or that the airbags are trustworthy and the dealer cannot/will not repair it and has no estimated date to expect a solution. We are now entering winter, which is the most dangerous time to drive where I live. There are far more accidents, and in turn far more opportunities for the airbags to fail and cause injuries that would not occur if the recall had been resolved.”Owner report · Air Bags · Nov 2016
“Takata airbag recall I have touched base with my dealership several times since may 2016.....I am still waiting for a resolution so that my passengers dont have to sit in the back seat for fear of being punched in the face with shrapnel if the airbag deploys”Owner report · Air Bags · May 2016
“Takata recall it has been well over a year now and we are still waiting for a remedy? Meanwhile driving in florida isnt scary enough but I have this on my mind ever single time we get in our truck.”Owner report · Air Bags · May 2016
“Driving 45 exiting the freeway when warning engine light come son " engine power reduced" and dropped the car to 1mph almost causing an accident. I would press on the gas pedal and there was no power it had me stalled on the off ramp exit during busy morning traffic. After 10 minutes of being stalled and attempting to give the gas pedal it finally moved for me to get over out of the way. The engine light is still on. Very dangerous luckily no accident and I didnt have my kids in the car.”Owner report · Engine · Jun 2015
