ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS VEHICLE DISPLAYED A MESSAGE THET THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT REDUCED POWER. THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE SLOWED TO IDLE SPEED WHILE WE WERE DRIVING ON A PUBLIC STREET. WE HAD BEEN PULLING A TRAVLE TRAILER JUST PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. THIS CREATED A POSSIBLE DANGER TO US AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS ON THE STREET SINCE WE COULD HARDLY GET THE VEHICLE TO POWER UP SO WE COULD GET OFF THE STREET. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER IN BEAUMONT, TX. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A COMMOM OPERATION TO PROTECT THE ENGING FROM DAMAGE AND THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WONDER WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF THIS HAD OCCURED WHILE WE WERE MOTORING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE TRAVEL TRAILER IN TOW? IF THERE IS A CHOICE BETWEEN PROTECTING THE ENGINE OR MY FAMILY, MY FAMILY COMES FIRST. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RESOLVED BEFORE DEATHS OCCUR FROM THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO CHECKED THE FAILURE CODE. HE COULD NOT DETERMINE THE EXACT PROBLEM BUT HE CLEARED THE FAULT CODE P2135 FROM THE SYSTEM. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL THE TRAILER BACK HOME WITHOUT ANY MORE PROBLEMS. NO OTHER FAULT LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE RETURN TRIP. *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
2008 YUKON XL POWER DOOR LOCKS BREAKING. DRIVERS DOOR WENT OUT AND WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, NOW A 58,000 DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR GOES OUT. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO UNLOCK THIS DOOR WITHOUT GOING AROUND THE VEHICLE AND CRAWLING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR TO REACH ACROSS, THE MANUAL LOCK IS AT THE REAR OF THE DOOR AND THE DOORS ARE SO LARGE YOU CANNOT REACH THEM. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE REAR DOORS. OBVIOUSLY FROM ALL THE POST HERE AND OUT ON OTHER FORUMS THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT GM HAS CHOSEN TO IGNORE. WHY NOT AT $300 PER FIX. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BETWEEN 2/05/11 AND 3/8/11 WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, WITH HEADLAMPS IN AUTO MODE, IDLING AT A FULL STOP, THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTING SHUT OFF COMPLETELY AND WILL NOT RESET IN AUTO MODE. GM REPAIRED BY REPLACING A AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR ON 3/9/11. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHILE STOPPED/IDLING AT NIGHT (DOES NOT OCCUR AT NORMAL DRIVING SPEEDS). HEADLIGHTS/DASH LIGHTING WORK CORRECTLY IN MANUAL MODE. *TR

WIFE WAS DRIVING TRUCK AT APPROX 30 MPH WHEN DIC ILLUMINATED WITH SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM MESSAGE. SHE THEN PRESSED THE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
FOR THE LAST 2 YEARS I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE STABILITY CONTROL / REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE PROBLEM CAN OCCUR ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING. I MUST STOP THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT OFF SEVERAL TIMES FOR IT TO RESET BEFORE I CAN CONTINUE. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS AT THE DEALER, THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AFTER SEVERAL VISITS TO REPAIR SHOPS AND SPENDING NEARLY $2000 ON REPAIRS IT STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS NEEDS TO ADDRESSED AS A FAILURE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION BY G.M. THE VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. *LN

MY 2008 YUKON XL ON THE WAY HOME IS POWERED DOWN WITH SEVERAL ERROR MESSAGES. TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABLE TRAC OFF, AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. COULD NOT GO MORE THEN 25 MPH. WENT TO FAULKNER GMC DEALER IN TREVOSE, PA NEXT DAY. PAID $122.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IT WAS THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. WAS TOLD THAT THIS PART IS A BACK ORDER AND GMC DON'T HAVE A MANUFACTURER WHO'S GONNA PRODUCE THIS PARTS FOR GM. HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $100.00 TO CLEAN THIS PART AND SERVICE ADVISER TOLD ME IT SHOULD LESS FOR AT LEAST 2 WEEKS AND UP TO FEW MONTHS. IT TOOK ME ONLY 2 WEEKS. NOW I CAN'T EVEN GET OUT FROM MY DEVELOPMENT. HAVE TO RESTART THE ENGINE EVERY STOP SIGN. I AM IN LIMOUSINE BUSINESS AND CAN'T STAY HOME AND JUST WAIT TILL GM WILL FIND A MANUFACTURER. FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLES. SHOULD THERE BE A RECALL ON THIS PART? *LN
