NHTSA complaint: 2007 GMC YUKON — AIR BAGS
TRAVELING AT NIGHT, AT 65 MILES AN HOUR IN A 2007 YUKON SLE2 4 DR WAGON, I HIT A STEER (APPROXIMATELY 880LBS). UPON IMPACT, THE BOTTOM OF MY POWER DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED FORWARD AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT TILTED FORWARD, CAUSING ME TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAD TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REPORTED THE INCIDENT TO THE DEALER, AND MY INSURANCE AGENT BOTH VERBALLY AND IN WRITING. THE VEHICLE HAD OVER $11,000.00 WORTH OF DAMAGE, BUT THE REPAIR CENTER STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANY DAMAGE TO THE SEAT. I TRADED THE VEHICLE IN, AS I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH THE SEAT NOT BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW FOR SALE AGAIN, AND I AM FEARFUL THAT SOMEONE ELSE WILL BE IN A WRECK AND THE SEAT WILL MALFUNCTION AGAIN. *TR
