Takita recall. I did a VIN search and found there has been an open recall for just shy of 3 years with no remedy available. What should be done?Owner report · Air Bags · May 2019
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon xl. While driving 35 mph, the steering wheel seized and the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. The contact first experienced the failure two years ago and took the vehicle to braeger chevrolet (4100 s 27th st, milwaukee, wi 53221). The dealer replaced the spark plugs, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired for the recent failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 185,000.Owner report · Engine · Apr 2018
Takata recall I was driving my vehicle when all of a sudden my dashboard started to crack on the driver side & passenger side right where the airbags are located at the time I was on local streets going about 22 mphOwner report · Unknown Or Other · Jul 2017

When I'm driving at night the lights flicker this includes every light outside beams inside dash everywhere. It happens when it's in motion or not. This is a safety hazard because the flickering is a distraction to other drivers including yourself. When focusing on road all of a sudden they start flickering and it distracts everyone dramatically. I almost wrecked twice because of this and have told my dealer ship "trinity automotive" and they have yet to fix it. *trOwner report · Electrical System · Jan 2017
Takata recall. We received a recall notice from gmc in july 2016. They still do not have parts to repair this recall. How can they make an entire year's worth of new cars and still not be able to make currently owned cars safe. This kind of delay is unacceptable, especially since it can lead to death.Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2016
After receiving a takata airbag recall notice, I contacted jack wilson gmc twice requesting that all takata inflators be removed from my vehicle and they refused. Gmc said they would contact me when they had replacement parts, but have not. I told them I did not care if no parts were available or if I had working airbags, but I wanted the dangerous inflators out! They said no.Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2016
Takata recall received recall notification in july 2016 yet to date they have not been replaced. The letter states the manufacture deems them unsafe. Why have they not been replaced. Other car companies have completed the replacement process.Owner report · Air Bags · Jul 2016
Takata recall my wife filed a complaint for this vehicle which is shared and registered to both of us but realized after filing she typed 2017 instead of 2007. Received a notice for defective air bags. Takata was to replace. Called our dealership, silveira in healdsburg, several times but part was never provided to our dealership by takata. Still no replacement and have same defective air bags in car!Owner report · Air Bags · May 2016
My dashboard has cracked on the left side of the airbag. My passenger airbag light stays on even when someone is sitting in the seat. My vehicle was parked in my driveway when I noticed there was an opening in the dashboard.Owner report · Air Bags · Dec 2015
Stab, ABS light and engine lights either going on one at a time or simultaneously. Car wouldn't start & when it did all of the dashboard gauges were at "zero" car seemed off but drive-able--gas, mph, rpm, gas/oil gauges remained at zero while driving. Later that day when car was restarted-the gauges were at normal readings. Stabiltrack light keeps going on & off. Electrical doesn't work well, almost every power door has failed & actuator has been replaced, rear back hatch door will not open & we have no access to our cargo/trunk area. Keyless entry works occasionally. Interior and exterior chrome handles have sharp edges.Owner report · Electrical System · Nov 2015
