ENGINE
THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET NEAR HOME. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY LOSS POWER AND I HAD TO LIMP BACK HOME. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, I'M TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAS A COLLAPSED LIFTER IN CYLINDER SEVEN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW AN ENGINE CAN EXPERIENCE THAT TYPE OF FAILURE WITH ONLY 44.000 MILES. I CONTACTED GM AND THEIR STANCE IS REGARDLESS OF LOW MILEAGE, THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTEE. THIS ISSUE PRESENTS A SERIOUS HAZARD, BECAUSE A FAILURE LIKE THIS, IF OCCURRED ON A HIGHWAY COULD CAUSE A CATASTROPHIC EVENT WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. NOT TO MENTION THE FINANCIAL BURDEN AS IT COST ME $3700 TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPAIRED. IN CHECKING CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THE GM 5.3L ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR THIS MALFUNCTION. WHEN TALKING WITH A GM CORPORATE REP I STATED, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW, OR DEFECT PART, BUT WAS BLOWN OFF BECAUSE I'M OUT OF WARRANTEE. WHAT HAPPENED TO STANDING BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT?

THERE ARE 2 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, 1 ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THEY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND WITHOUT ANY ACCOMPANYING MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH OR OTHER PHYSICAL CAUSE. I FOUND THE CRACKS AS I WAS WIPING THE DASHBOARD OFF WITH A MICROFIBER TOWEL. THE CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GREW APPROXIMATELY 3 INCHES WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE MY WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED (EXPIRED ON 12/06/2016) AND I WAS OVER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE (MY MILEAGE WAS 36180, WARRANTY ONLY GOOD FOR 36000) THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1800 + TAX TO REPLACE. I HAVE SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND SIMILAR GM VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AND WITH CRACKS IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. THIS IS A VEHICLE DEFECT AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE WHOLE DASHBOARD COULD BE DISLODGED AND BECOME A FLYING HAZARD SHOULD THE AIRBAG INFLATE DURING A CRASH.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL: THE GMC SERVICE MANAGER REPEATEDLY TOLD ME THAT A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. I WOULD LIKE THE DANGEROUS AIR BAG(S) REMOVED PENDING THE REPLACEMENT. I SENT THE FOLLOW LETTER TO THE GMC DEALER: AUGUST 31, 2017 COLEMAN GMC MR. [XXX], OWNER 100 RENAISSANCE BLVD. LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ 08648 RE: TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL 2007 YUKON-XL, NJ LICENSE [XXX] VIN #[XXX]. DEAR MR. COLEMAN, I WAS ORIGINALLY ASSURED THAT MY YUKON-XL DID NOT CONTAIN A TAKATA AIR BAG. A SUBSEQUENT RECALL IDENTIFIED MY VEHICLE AS CONTAINING THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAG AND I ASKED FOR IT TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN IT COMES AVAILABLE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK FOR SERVICE AND AGAIN I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT AVAILABLE. I WOULD LIKE THE AIR BAG REMOVED WHILE WE WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT. THE IDEA OF AN EXPLODING AIR BAG SPRAYING SHRAPNEL IN THE VEHICLE CABIN IS INCREDIBLY DISTURBING. I UNDERSTAND THAT DRIVERS HAVE BEEN BLINDED AND KILLED BY THIS SHRAPNEL. HAVING NO AIR BAG IS SAFER THAN SITTING IN FRONT OF A CLAYMORE MINE! PLEASE CONTACT ME AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE TO SCHEDULE REMOVAL AND THEN EVENTUAL REPLACEMENT OF THIS AIRBAG. SINCERELY, [XXX] CC NHTSA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR *JS

ONCE THIS HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME YOU TURN OFF THE CAR AND TRY TO START THE CAR THE KEY WILL NOT TURN ON ANY OF THE ELECTRONICS AND WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. IF YOU CONTINUOUSLY TAKE THE KEY OUT AND REINSERT UNTIL AND THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY START.
