Our 2008 GMC Yukon with takata airbags has been under recall for many years now, and still has not be resolved. It seems that takata and GMC have ignored the importance of replacing the airbags. It is shocking that our government has not forced them to address this issue for all these years. We purchased our 2008 GMC Yukon new in August, 2008. I do not have a proper date for the date listed as when did this happen listed below, so just put August 1, 2008 so that I could get on to the next page, it would not allow me to leave that field blank.

I have contacted GM and the local dealerships for the past 4 years asking to have my airbags replaced in my 2008 GMC Yukon per the directive of NHTSA. Each time I have been told GM does not agree with NHTSA recall and GM refuses to replace dangerous airbags. I have emails and other messages from GM. I noticed recently they were ordered to replace all airbags. However GM stills says they do not agree. Any suggestions?

We received a recall notice regarding the defective takata airbags and to date GM has not replaced or repaired them. They simply state they have no resolution yet. In talking with a local dealer he will not take the vehicle in on trade due to the unrepaired recall.

I am reporting that GMC will not replace the faulty air bags in my 2008 Yukon. I am the original owner, and have repeatedly taken the vehicle to the GMC dealer to have the air bag recall taken care of, but they have not done so. Now I am ready to sell the vehicle and am being told that the value of the vehicle is going to be less because of the open recall. This shows up on carfax. I seem to have no recourse.
