ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
2007 GMC YUKON SLT...STABILITRAK FAILURE. THIS ERROR HAS POPPED UP AS WE ARE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AROUND 7 TIMES. IT SHUTS DOWN AND REDUCES THE POWER TO THE ENGINE SO THAT THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH POWER TO GET TO A SAFE PLACE OUT OF TRAFFIC. IMAGINE DRIVING AT 70MPH AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOSES POWER AND YOU HAVE A MASSIVE BIG RIG CLOSING DOWN ON YOUR TAIL WITH NO POWER TO GET OUT IF THE WAY! IMAGINE CLIMBING A HILL WITH THE VEHICLE POWER SUDDENLY REDUCED WITH A BIG RIG TRYING TO CLIMB BEHIND YOU AND YOU HAVE NO WHERE TO TURN OFF FOR SAFETY. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ONLY 127614 HIGHWAY MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED WITH A DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM WITH ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
"REDUCED ENGINE POWER/STALILITY CONTROL DISENGAGED" MESSAGE DISPLAYED, ENGINE WENT TO IDLE AND WOULD NOT EXCEED 5-10 MPH. TRAFFIC FROM BEHIND SERVED TO AVOID DECELERATING VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS SOMEWHAT COMMON WITH THESE GM MODELS. THE POSSIBILITY OF REAR END COLLISIONS MAY BE EXPERIENCED DUE TO RAPID DECELERATION DUE TO LOSS OF POWER. HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AGAIN DURING THE DAY. IT CLEARS ITSELF AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR A WHILE BUT THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. INFORMATION RECEIVED FORM VARIOUS FORUMS STATE IT IS BELIEVED TO BE WITHIN THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
I RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE IN MY SERVICE DEPT. FOR AN ON-GOING PROBLEM , WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND NOT MOVE AFTER ABOUT 20 FEET OR SO AND A TRACTION ACTIVE MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE WOULD END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH LOSS OF POWER AND CARS BEHIND ME WILL ALMOST RE END MY CAR. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT HAPPENING 6 OR MORE TIME DAILY, WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WOULD DRIVE FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. TO REGAIN POWER, YOU HAD TO LET OFF ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND THE DRIVE WOULD RE-ENGAGE. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE AND IT GOES AWAY WHEN WE TURN OFF THE STABILITY CONTROL WHICH IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY FEATURE KNOWING THAT MY BABIES ARE IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. AFTER DOING A SEARCH THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING MY SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS AS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS GOING TO CAUSE A FATALITY. *LN

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WE GOT OUR BRAKES FIXED AT THE DEALER ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO AND WE CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN OF NOISES AND SQUEAKING, BUT THE DEALER SAID IT WAS JUST DUST BECAUSE THEY WERE NEW. AFTER MONTHS OF COMPLAINING, WE BEGIN TO RECEIVE OIL CHANGES FREE OF CHARGE WITH NO EXPLANATIONS. JANUARY 6, 2011 I WENT IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKE CALIBER WAS BROKEN AND LEAKING BRAKE FLUID;SHE ALSO SAID I NEED NEW FRONT BRAKE PADS; BOTH OF THE ROTORS ARE BROKEN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES FOR ALMOST 4-6 MONTHS. ALSO THE DIFFERENTIAL IS MAKING A LOUD NOISE AS WELL. ESTIMATION OF; THE BRAKE CALIBER AND PADS IS $550; BOTH ROTOR $1000 AND DIFFERENTIAL PROBLEM $1000 WHICH I WILL HAVE TO PAY. I BELIEVE THESE PROBLEMS ARE MANUFACTURER RELATED AND SHOULD DEALT WITH IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALER KEPT MY CAR AND STATED IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS NOT OFFERED A LOANER AFTER EXPLAINING THAT I ONLY HAVE ONE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK. I WAS NOT GIVEN AND ESTIMATED TIME OF WHEN THE CAR WOULD BE COMPLETED FOR REPAIRS. IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS CLAIM IS WARRANTED BEFORE I SPEND ANY OUT OF POCKET MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM OR AN ERROR BY ONE OF THE MECHANICS SOONER BEFORE THE PROBLEM ESCALATED INTO FURTHER DAMAGES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2004 YUKON DENALI AND THE DASH BOARD HAS GONE OUT. I SEE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE 82,000 MILES ON IT. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $500 TO GET THIS FIXED. I WISH GMC WOULD REALIZE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND SHOULD REFUND PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS ALSO MADE ME THINK AGAIN ABOUT BUYING ANOTHER GMC AGAIN!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2005 FAULTY GMC YUKON DASH SYSTEM. DEALER ORIGINALLY TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP BUT SUGGESTED IT MIGHT BE ALCOHOL IN THE GASOLINE. I TRIED USING ETHANOL FREE GAS AND IT WORKED. I COULDN'T FIND ANY ETHANOL FREE GAS ON DEC 25TH SO I HAD TO USE 10% ETHANOL AND MY ENTIRE DASH HAS QUIT WORKING. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST I'M GOING, IF I HAVE FUEL OR HOW MANY MILES I HAVE ON MY VEHICLE. THE GMC DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP, DASH BOARD AND THEY ESTIMATE IT WILL COST AROUND $1500. IT WORKED FINE WITHOUT ETHANOL! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER ABOUT 1 YEAR AFTER PURCHASE. IT WORKED MOST OF THE TIME SO DIDN'T TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR UNDER MY WARRANTY. AFTER 3 YEARS IT STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER BUT I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL AND HE SAID THERE WAS BUT I HAD TOO MANY MILES ON THE VEHICLE TO QUALIFY. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITHOUT A WORKING SPEEDOMETER FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
RANDOMLY WHEN I WOULD DRIVE MY VEHICLE, THE TRACTION CONTROL WOULD JUST TURN ON IN MY CAR WHETHER I WAS DRIVING FAST OR SLOW. I COULD BE DRIVING STEADY WITHOUT STOPPING ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT ANY RHYME OR REASON. I SPECIFICALLY WENT TO A GM DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THEY DIAGNOSED AND SAID IT WOULD BE $529.00. I WENT FORWARD WITH FIXING THE CAR AND THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR WAS NOT FIXED. SINCE THE DEALERSHIP HAS DISENGAGED MY TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS AND SAID TO FIX MY CAR NOW WOULD BE $1500. I NOW AM DRIVING A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE AND OUT $500 AND NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO FIX MY VEHICLE WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY MATTER? I AM LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING MY MONEY BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND GOING TO ONE THAT IS REPUTABLE SINCE GM SAID THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS PRIVATELY OWNED AND THEY CAN NOT HELP ME.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
(REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURE) MY WIFE WAS ON HER WAY TO WORK WHEN SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE PEDAL BECAME REAL SOFT AS IF THE VEHICLE WASN'T GOING TO STOP. AFTER RETURNING HOME, UPON INVESTIGATION THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS ALMOST EMPTY. I FOUND BRAKE FLUID COMING OUT OF A BADLY CORRODED BRAKE LINE JUST BEHIND THE FUEL TANK. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD SITUATION. WE ARE THE SECOND OWNERS ON THIS VEHICLE, PURCHASED IN 2001. WE HAVE ALWAYS KEPT IT MAINTAINED AND CLEAN, INCLUDING CAR WASHES AFTER SNOW STORMS TO REMOVE ROAD SALT AND SAND. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING ON AN 11 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, THANKFULLY THIS DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THE FUEL LINES HAVE CORROSION AT EVER MOUNTING LOCATION. SO, I GUESS THESE ARE GOING TO FAIL AS WELL SOME TIME IN THE FUTURE. *TR

SEATS
MY HEATED SEATS STOPPED WORKING. WHEN MY TRUCK WAS IN THE SHOP WITH MY MECHANIC I ASKED IF HE COULD LOOK AND SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. WHEN HE TOOK APART THE SEAT THE HEATING PAD WAS BURNT TO A CRISP. HE CALLED THE GM DEALER NEAR BY AND ASKED WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE AND THEY SAID A SHORT IN THE HEATING PAD WIRE. THIS PART OBVIOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE IN MY VEHICLE. I CALLED GM CORPORATE TODAY AND THEY SAID SINCE THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE AT GM THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO FOR ME. MY CAR COULD HAVE COMPLETED CAUGHT FIRE WITH MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER IN IT. JUST BECAUSE THE REPAIR WAS NOT DONE THERE BUT THE PARTS WERE BOUGHT AT THE GM DEALER THEY WONT REIMBURSE ME FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS NOT A RECALL ITEM FROM WHAT I CAN SEE ONLINE. *TR
