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.

TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING SINCE 2016. THE RISK SPECIFICALLY STATES: "THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." I LIVE IN A HOT AND HUMID AREA, AND I HAVE A FAMILY. I ALSO HAVE A REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF SAFETY AND RELIANCE UPON THIS VEHICLE, AND CONSIDERING THE COST OF VEHICLES THESE DAYS, SEEMS LIKE COMPANIES WOULD SHOW A BIT MORE LOVE AND CONSIDERATION FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS. I PANIC EVERY TIME I GET IN MY VEHICLE, JUST OUT OF WORRY OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
