POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
This is the 2nd GMC Yukon with a faulty drivetrain I've acquired in 3 years. Both occasions were directly after the vehicle had professional service done related to the faulty system. The transmissions was fully serviced at reputable repair shops and within a month or 2, without warning, the transmissions started having mechanical issues without DTC being triggered. As well as a 2004 Buick Rendezvous with less than 70k miles on it. The 2001 GMC Yukon suddenly lost reverse and park while driving and imploded the transmission in the process. The 2004 Buick Rendezvous started slipping and ceased to move by it's own power when at operating temperature. The 2006 GMC Yukon Denali stopped shifting gears while on the freeway at 55 mph and systematically lost all moving gears within a day also while at operating temperature.

The Brake lines are not coded so the brake line rusted and when brakes got applied they burst causing accidents for no pressure and can’t stop. Air bags light stays on and will not go out. I have put new lights bulbs in truck but lights are still dim.

IT HAPPENED REPEATEDLY NOW WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE STEERING WOULD GET SLOPPY AT RANDOM MOMENTS AND KEEPING THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE BECOMES DIFFICULT.

BOTH SAID EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK A MONTH AGO

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO 30 MPH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 5 MPH.I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TRYING TO GAIN SPEED WITHOUT SUCCESS THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30 MPH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD I SAW TWO WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF "STABILITY SYS DISABLED" FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SAFETY. THE ROAD WAS DRY AND NO BUMPS TO DISABLE STABILITY. THE TRACTION CONTROL IN THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED FAR FROM MY STEERING WHEEL SO I KNOW I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BY ACCIDENT. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER I WAS ADVISED TO HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE ERROR IN THE DASH. THAT DID NOT WORK. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY FOR SEVERAL DAYS RETURNED MY CAR BACK ONCE STATING THAT IT WAS DUE TO MASTER AIR FLOW SENSOR ALONG WITH THE AIR FILTER ONCE THOSE PARTS WERE REPLACED I PICKED UP MY CAR AS SOON AS I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE IT AROUND THE CORNER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 5 MPH AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ANY FASTER NO MATER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. 2ND TIME THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE BUTTERFLY IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WAS REPLACED FOR A NEW ONE. I WAS DRIVING AWAY AND GOT JUST A LITTLE FARTHER THAN THE FIRST TIME WHEN I GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THEY REPLACED THAT BUT ITS STILL HAVING ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING I WANT THIS NOTED IN CASE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH FATALITIES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BONDDOGBONDDOG AUGUST 2006 EDITED JUNE 2015 IN GMC I PURCHASED MY 2006 YUKON LAST SEPTEMBER 2005. I NOW HAVE 24,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST MONTH I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ALMOST ALL POWER. THE INFORMATION CENTER WILL DISPLAY THE MESSAGES: "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND BEARLY 3 MPH UP A MODERATELY STEEP HILL. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY HAVE BEEEN STUMPED BY WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS. THEY SAID THAT GM/GMC TOLD THEM THAT "GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME". HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER SELL A VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECT AND NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT? WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.

SEVERE BRAKE LINE CORROSION AND CORROSION AT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS CAUSES ABS TO ACTIVATE AT LOW SPEEDS. I HAD 2 NEAR MISS CRASHES AND THEN CAR WOULD NOT STOP AND I HIT A FENCE IN MY YARD YESTERDAY. I HAVE 4 OTHER VEHICLES , A DODGE, BMW, AND 2 HONDA, ALL OLDER THAN THIS ONE, AND DO NOT HAVE THE. CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT POWER OFF EVEN WHEN SHIFTED IN THE OFF POSITION. THE VEHICLE'S BATTERY MUST BE DISCONNECTED TO POWER OFF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES WERE INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS MADE; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE BLOWER MOTOR HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED AND THAT THERE WAS AN UPDATED MODEL. THE GOOD CHEVROLET DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR THE HVAC. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT AND REFERRED TO CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN I AM STARTING OUT OR TURNING A CORNER THE VEHICLE WILL INTERMITTENTLY BOG DOWN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 5-6 YEARS. I HAD TAKEN IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBUS OHIO WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A PROBLEM IN THE STEERING COLUMN BUT NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $300 TO HAVE FIXED. THIS SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO THE TWO COMPLAINTS MADE 1/11/2010 NHTSA ID#10299018 AND 9/21/2015 NHTSA ID#10766680. THIS HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN FIXED BY A DEALERSHIP NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I JUST DISCONNECT IT AT THE DASH AND PUT UP WITH THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT. FOR A GM VEHICLE THAT LISTED FOR $58,735 11 YEARS AGO I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH GM. THE SUNROOF HAS NOT WORKED FOR YEARS ( A $1,000 FIX ITEM) REPLACED THE FAN BLOWER MOTOR (SOMEWHERE AROUND $400+) AND I ONLY HAVE 109,000 MILES ON IT. THE NOTED ITEMS OCCURRING IN THE 50-75,000 MILE RANGE. I CAN SEE WHY HONDA, ACURA, TOYOTA AND LEXUS HAVE SUCH A GREAT FOLLOWING. THEY LEAD AND I WILL FOLLOW WITH MY NEXT VEHICLE.

ROOF HAS CONSTANT LEAK WHEN IT RAINS. IT LEAKS THROUGH THE FRONT SIDE ON DASHBOARD/RADIO, AND THROUGH DVD PLAYER LOCATED ON ROOF. WE HAVE TO COVER VEHICLE EACH TIME WE HEAR IT IS GOING TO RAIN. I HAVE SEEN THERE ARE MILLIONS OF OTHER DRIVERS WITH YUKONS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. CHECKING TO SEE IF THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE GMC WOULD RESOLVE FOR OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES?
