- Air bags
TAKATA RECALL-IT IS SIGNIFICANT TO ME THAT A 2016 NOTICE REGARDING THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS IS STILL LISTED AS "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE." THIS HAS BEEN OVER ONE YEAR AND A RECALL NEEDS TO TAKE PLACE FOR MY SPECIFIC YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN EVERYDAY AND EVERY DAY THERE IS WORRY AMONG OUR FAMILY THAT THERE MAY BE AN INJURY DUE TO A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN OUR VEHICLE. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ASAP. NO MORE "REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE" RESPONSE IS ACCEPTABLE. ACT NOW. ISSUE A RECALL WITH A REMEDY.

- Structure › Body › Tailgate
HAVE 2 KIDS AGED 9 AND 4. THE TAILGATE DECIDED TO GO ON MY 2007 YUKON XL. THE GATE ALMOST CRUSHED MY 9 YEAR OLD SON IF IT HAD NOT BEEN FOR ME STANDING THERE. THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC GATE AND IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

- Seat belts › Rear/other
THIRD ROW SEAT IN 2007 YUKON XL IS POTENTIALLY UNSAFE. VEHICLE IS MARKETED AS CAPABLE OF SEATING ADULTS IN THIRD ROW SEAT, BUT DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE SEAT BELTS AND SPACE FOR SAID ADULTS. SEAT BELTS ARE OF INSUFFICIENT LENGTH FOR ADULTS, AND THE RATCHET MECHANISM DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. FURTHERMORE, THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT FOOT ROOM, LEG ROOM, HIP ROOM AND SHOULDER ROOM MAY CAUSE SAID ADULTS TO SEAT THEMSELVES INCORRECTLY--AND TO PURPOSELY AVOID THE USE OF SEAT BELTS--SUCH THAT THEY PREDISPOSE THEMSELVES TO SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *JB
- Power train › Automatic transmission
A SERVICE LIGHT IN THE BRAND NEW 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI XL CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER THE SERVICE TEAM EVALUATED THE VEHICLE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE CONTROL MODULE IN THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, WE RECEIVED A CALL INFORMING THAT THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION IN THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE NEEDED REPLACEMENT AND THIS CONCERNS US FOR MANY REASONS. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 4000 MILES AND WE NEED TO HAVE OUR TRANSMISSION REPLACED! WE NOTICED BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE THAT THE TRUCK WOULD SOMETIMES SLIP WHILE DRIVING AND WE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BREAKING IN, NOW WE REALIZE THAT IT WAS MUCH MORE SERIOUS AND THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE TURNED…
