ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I PURCHASED MY 2007 YUKON ABOUT A YEAR AGO, IN THAT TIME THE STABILITRAK LIGHT/CHECK ENGINE/TRACTION CONTROL HAS COME ON 2 TIMES NOW. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO COMES ON IT TELLS ME IT IS TURNING THE STABILITRAK OFF AND BEEPS AT ME. BOTH TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME IT IS FINE TO DRIVE TO BRING IT IN LATER AND HE WILL HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER. THE LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL I ARRIVE AT MY DESTINATION, I TURN THE CAR OFF LET IT SIT AND COME BACK LATER AND IT IS OFF WHEN I RESTART IT. I HAVE HAD THE MECHANIC HOOK IT UP TO THE COMPUTER TWO TIMES NOW AND NOTHING SHOWS IN THE HISTORY. HE HAS CALLED AROUND TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIPS AND NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED BEFORE OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY IS UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GAS GAUGE DOES NOT CORRECTLY REFLECT WHAT IS IN THE TANK, HAVE RUN OUT OF GAS OR COME CLOSE QUITE A FEW TIMES DUE TO INCORRECT READINGS, IT WILL SHOW 1/2 FULL AND DROP RAPIDLY WITHIN MINUTES TO EMPTY. I'VE TAKEN IT IN THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAUGE CLUSTER IN THE DASH SO THEY REPLACED IT, IT HAPPENED AGAIN, TOOK IT BACK IN AND OF COURSE AT THAT TIME IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY THEY SAID THEY HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS AT THE DEALERSHIP IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THEY ASSUME THE SENDING UNIT IS BAD AND WOULD REPLACE IT IF I PAID FOR IT, WHY THIS WASN'T DONE THE 1ST TIME UNDER WARRANTY IS BEYOND ME, BUT I'VE NOTICED ON THE NEWS THAT OTHER VEHICLES ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND SEARCHING THE WEB I SEE I'M NOT ALONE. THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS
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

AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. IT HAS 56,000 MILES. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS $50 TO SCAN SYSTEM AND $580 TO FIX THE PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR. THE OLD PART IS STILL ON MY CAR BECAUSE I AM NOT PAYING THAT FOR A $25.00 PART. I THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUS. NO WONDER PEOPLE ARE GOING FOREIGN AND GETTING 10 YEARS/100K MILE WARRANTY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
IN MY 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI AT A SLOW SPEED WHILE TRYING TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE ABS PREMATURELY ACTIVATE MAKING IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP COMPLETELY. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. PLEASE POST A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SIMILAR VEHICLES BUT NOT THE 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHY? *TR
