In owners' words
What Yukon owners report
Recent air bags complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
The Brake lines are not coded so the brake line rusted and when brakes got applied they burst causing accidents for no pressure and can’t stop. Air bags light stays on and will not go out. I have put new lights bulbs in truck but lights are still dim.
Driver side steering wheel safety air bag defective, warning light on dashboard says not functioning. Nervous about driving vehicle if there is a collision. Gas gauge misreads fuel level and check engine warning light keeps coming on. Ran out of fuel a few times. Has been checks problem keeps…
AIRBAG FAILED FUNCTION DUE TO LACK OF INFLATOR PERFORMANCE DURING MY HUSBANDS HEAD-ON CRASH AND HE SUFFERED COLLAR BONE AND RIB FRACTURES,MASSIVE HEAD TRAUMA RESULTING IN A CRAINIOTOMY,BRAIN DAMAGE AND DEATH ONE MONTH LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT 45MPH ON A PAVED TWO LANE STREET.
