general problems of the 2007 GMC Yukon

The side air bags on the passenger and driver side front and back deployed while driving down the road. The driver side airbag hit my 19 year old son in the side of the face hard enough to cause his ears to ring. There was not a reason for the air bags to go off spontaneously. He had to pull to the side of the road blindly because he didn’t know if he had been hit by another vehicle. We have filed a complaint with GMC. This could have caused a serious wreck injuring my son or someone else on the road due to the shock and force of the air bags hitting him and the inability to see after they deployed. Yes it is available for inspection.

Drivers side seatbelt buckle unlatches at random times without being touched. Driving or stationary makes no difference. Passenger side seatbelt will not latch. There appears to be a piece missing inside the buckle.

Seat belt system seem to be defected. Air bag are not functioning properly.

My 2007 GMC Yukon seatbelts in 3rd row of seats locks up when car is in motion. If my child is in their carseat it locks them where they cant move and breath. They cry and I have to pull over on highways, etc. To unlock seatbelt all the way back. Even unhooking from the child safety seat. It is very dangerous and is a safety concern. GMC referred me to you all instead of addressing the issue. Seems to be a seatbelt defect that needs a recall for Yukons.
