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.

TL* - THE CONTACT HAS A 2007, YUKON, DENALI WHICH SHE PURCHASED IN OCTOBER 2006. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAS BEEN TO THE DAVID MCDAVID DEALERSHIP IN LOUISIANA 4 TIMES BECAUSE THE CAR REMOTE WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE THE DOORS. THE REMOTE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REPAIRED AS OF DECEMBER 29, 2006. *AK

20061122SEAT 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

20061118POWER 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 INTO SOMETHING MUCH LARGER. OUR TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE LOCKED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING OR WORSE WHILE DRIVING INJURING US OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED, BUT HAS THE SOURCE OF THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM BEEN SOLVED??? *NM
