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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 GMC YUKON DENALI XL STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TACHOMETER NOT WORKING FOLLOWED BY THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FLUCTUATING FROM LOW TO HIGH AND THEN STAYING PEGGED AT HIGH. THE VOLTAGE METER IS READING HIGH EVEN THOUGH WHILE IT WAS READING HIGH THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT AND HIS GAUGE SAID IT WAS FINE. WE HEAR A CLICKING IN THE DASHBOARD THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CHECKED IT BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. WE ARE ON OUR 3RD RIDE LEVELING COMPRESSOR AND WE DON'T USE IT TO HALL A TRAILER. WHAT WILL BE NEXT. WE ARE CONCERNED SINCE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE COULD BE NEXT. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI SYSTEM STABILIZATION DISABLED WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE CAR COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT STILL NO ERROR CODES. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT STILL IS COMING ON. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS NOR INJURIES, I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THE STABILIZATION SYSTEM WAS MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND IT MUST BE OPERATIONAL. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE TO INSURE THE TRUCK IS SAFE? WHY CAN'T THEY REPLACE COMPUTER MODULES UNTIL THERE IS A RESOLUTION? THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS I OWNED IT, DRIVING THE SAME EXACT ROADS THAT THE WARNING FLASHES ON NOW. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
I RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE IN MY SERVICE DEPT. FOR AN ON-GOING PROBLEM OF WHICH HERITAGE GMC COULD NOT REPAIR. FROM A STANDSTILL, 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 ALL THE GM VEHICLES RUN THIS TYPE OF SENSOR COMBO ON ALL THE WHEELS TELLING THE COMPUTER WHEN TO APPLY BRAKES OR POWER TO THE WHEELS, THESE GET DIRTY FROM ROAD SALT IN UPPER STATES AND GM WILL ONLY ADDRESS 2002 CARS, BUT THE 2002-2005 LOOK ALL ALIKE, THIS ALSO APPLIES TO REGULAR CARS, AFTER DOING A SEARCH THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING MY SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS AS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS GOING TO CAUSE A FATALITY....... *TR
