INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. DOORS LOCKS AND WINDOWS DON'T ALWAYS WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN I SHUT MY CAR OFF IT DIES. LIKE I CAN'T TURN IT BACK ON. RUNNING BOARDS DON'T GO UP, CAN'T LOCK IT, NOTHING. DEAD. THEN 15 MINUTES LATER IT'S FINE. SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING, IT'S LIKE IT'S CUTTING OUT, NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER OR DIFFERENT WARNING LIGHTS WILL RANDOMLY FLASH. I JUST NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE WORKING PROPERLY. I'M JUST AFRAID SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. WE ALSO USE THE YUKON TO TOW A TRAILER. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEPEND ON IT. THE SHOP CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEY JUST LOOK AT ME LIKE I'M CRAZY.

TAKATA RECALL THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OPEN FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. GM HAS NOT ADDRESSED IT AND PEOPLE ARE DYING. WHY HASN'T THE NHTSA OR SOME OTHER REGULATORY AGENCY HELD GM ACCOUNTABLE? I UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS APPLIED AND BEEN DENIED 2 TIMES SO FAR TO GET OUT OF ADDRESSING THIS RECALL? THEY ARE WAITING ON A DENIAL FOR THE 3RD APPLICATION? I AM OUTRAGED THAT GM HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO GET AWAY WITH THIS WANTED DISREGARD FOR SAFETY.

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 AND RECEIVED A POSTCARD FROM TK HOLDINGS IN OCTOBER 2017 REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND CHAPTER 11 FILING. I HAVE CALLED MY GMC DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS DURING THE PAST 16 MONTHS TO SCHEDULE THE FREE REPAIR PURSUANT TO THE RECALL AND AM REPEATEDLY INFORMED THE DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO ADDRESS THE RECALL AND REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE RECEIVING MORE INFORMATION AS TO THE EXPECTED DATE FOR THE REPAIR OF MY YUKON THAN "WE DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR CAR AND DO NOT HAVE MORE INFORMATION AS TO THE TIMELINE WHEN WE WILL HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR YOUR CAR." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BASED UPON THE POTENTIAL RISK THAT EXISTS THIS EXPOSES TO ME AND MY FAMILY.
