NHTSA Complaint #11138813 — 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI

WAS DRIVING ABOUT 7-10 MPH IN A WAL MART PARKING LOT WHEN THE STEERING ON MY 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI COMPLETELY GAVE OUT WHICH CAUSED ME TO SCRAP A POLE ON THE BACK DOOR BEHIND DRIVER. FINALLY WHEN VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FREELY SPIN AND NOT IN GAUGE THE TIRES TO ROTATE. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST GMC DEAR SHIP TO HAVE THEM ASSES THE PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM THIS HAS TO BE FROM THE ROOT CAUSE OF A RECALL THAT A SENSOR WILL LOSE TEMP CONNECTION WITH STEERING AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHICH DID AS WELL AS INJURY TO MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING. NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP GIVING ME A RUN A ROUND THAT THE STEERING COLUMN MAGICALLY SNAPPED AND NEEDS TO BE COVERED THROUGH EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE AN OPEN COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS GMC IT SELF. PLEASE IF YOU OWN THIS YEAR VEHICLE BE VERY CAREFUL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY HORRIBLE SITUATION.
