ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY. DROVE 3 MILES TO A MEETING. WHEN IGNITION TURNED OFF THE LIGHT WENT OUT BUT I COULD HEAR A HUM. UNABLE TO LOCATE SOURCE OF HUM. SPENT 5 HOURS IN MEETING AND HUM WAS STILL PRESENT. CAR STARTED OK BUT ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. LATE IN DAY SO I TOOK TO LOCAL FIRESTONE SERVICE. THEY DETERMINED IT WAS THE ABS PUMP. IT WAS SO HOT IT BLISTERED MY FINGER WHEN I TOUCHED IT. TAPPED ON PUMP HOUSING TO GET IT TO GO OFF BUT NO SUCCESS. ONLY WAY TO STOP PUMP WAS TO REMOVE FUSE FROM FUSEBLOCK UNDER HOOD. I AM GLAD I DISCOVERED THIS. IF IT HAD BEEN MY WIFE THE CAR MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN PUT BACK IN OUR GARAGE WITHOUT NOTICE OF THE HUM. MAY HAVE CAUGHT FIRE. ARE THERE ANY EXAMPLES OF THIS MODEL, OR OTHER MODELS HAVING SAME OR SIMILAR ABS PUMP AND ABS COMPUTER, CATCHING FIRE? THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CIRCUIT LOGIC. IT SHOULD "FAIL SAFE", I.E. DETECT THIS MALFUNCTION AND DISCONNECT POWER. THE PART HAS NOT BEEN REMOVED; IT HAS JUST BEEN DISABLED BY REMOVING FUSE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK, ONTO A PUBLIC ROAD, I CAME TO A STOP SIGN. I HAD BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND, THEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS TRAFFIC COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS SO I BECAME A LITTLE NERVOUS. THE TRUCK DID STOP IN TIME THOUGH. I KNEW I HAD BLOWN A BRAKE LINE RIGHT AWAY. I WENT BACK TO WORK AND INSPECTED THE LINES AND THE REAR LINE HAD BLOWN APART. THIS IS MY SECOND GM VEHICLE THAT BLEW A BRAKE LINE IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT ON THE VEHICLE. I RECENTLY MOVED TO FLORIDA, THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN AN OHIO VEHICLE ALL IT LIFE. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TRACTION CONTROL LITE CAME ON IN DASH THEN POWER TO SUV WAS LOST THEN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE READ OUT STATED "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED " THEN " REDUCED ENGINE SPEED" MESSAGE APPEARED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE BUT NEARLY GOT REARENDED HIT BY SEMI. ENGINE WOULD RUN ONLY AT IDLE SPEED. AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND WAITING MINUTE OR TWO THEN RESTARTING IT RAN FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN. SPEEDS VARY 70,55,40 MPH IT DOESN'T MATTER. AFTER CALLING DIFFERENT GMC DEALERS ABOUT PROBLEM THEY ACT LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THEY NEVER HEARD OF."BULL**** !!!!. ITS THE SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS GMC OWNERS ARE FACING ON THE INTERNET. GMC CUSTOMERS HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WITH NO PROBLEMS SOLVED. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS HOOK YOU UP TO ELECTRONIC MACHINE AND OVERCHARGE YOU FOR THE SAME THING AUTOZONE ,ETC. BUSINESSES WILL DO FOR FREE. I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEM TO BE PARTS REPLACERS . GMC SHOULD KNOW THE EXACT PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE OR FAMILY IS GOING TO GET HURT BADLY IF GMC DOESN'T FIX THIS PROBLEM THEY KNOW THEY HAVE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
2010 GMC YUKON SLT, I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. A DISPLAY MESSAGE CAME ACROSS "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" . THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ACCELERATION, MOVED OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE ALMOST STALLING OUT IN THE SHOULDER LANE. LUCKILY, I WAS CLOSE TO HOME . I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP, HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED. ($602.00) . I WILL PICK UP THE VEHICLE TOMORROW HOPEFULLY IT IS FIXED. THIS IS SERIOUS MANUFACTURES DEFECT PLUS A COSTLY REPAIR. AS I RESEARCHED INFORMATION I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER OF THIS GM PRODUCT THAT CAN LEAD TO DISASTROUS ENDING. HOPEFULLY, THE NHTSA WILL DO THEIR OWN INVESTIGATION ON THE THROTTLE BODY'S AND DISCOVER THAT THIS IS PART MUST BE RECALLED BEFORE FATALITIES OCCUR!!. *TR
