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. I REPLACED TIE RODS INNER & OUTER, UPPER/LOWER BALL JOINTS PITMAN ARM AND IDLER, SWAYBAR LINKS SHOCKS/STRUTS. I EVEN HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT THE STEERING COMPONENTS. BOTH SAID EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK A MONTH AGO
