Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2004 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while attempting to trade the vehicle in, the dealer discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy, per the Carfax report. The vehicle was a dealer sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 165,563. The actual mileage could not be determined because the Carfax report displayed that the mileage had drastically fluctuated over the years. No other agency was contacted.

GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL: GMC REFUSES TO HONOR THE RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE ON BOTH MY SUV'S. I CAN'T BE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION UNTIL THESE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE, WHAT A SCAM. I OWN 2 GMC YUKON'S SLT AND BOTH QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF FROM GMC. NEITHER CAR EVER GOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIRS AT NO COST. THIS IS AFTER I PAID THESE [XXX] OVER $1000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON ONE OF MY SUV'S MANY YEARS AGO WHICH DID NOT GET FIXED BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THEY COULDN'T FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY SUV'S BUT THEY KNEW ALL ALONG. I WANT GM TO HONOR THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND FIX MY SUV'S FAULTY IGNITION SYSTEM. I ONLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECAL FROM THE CLASS ACTION ATTORNEYS. GM NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF ANY RECALLS EVER!! PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

( PUZZLED ) SO I REPEATED TO GET TO WATER OFF WINDOW ,1 CLICK AT A TIME THE WIPERS DIDN'T COME ON UNTIL I WAS AT HIGH. OF COURSE , NOW THEY ARE ON HIGH AND RAIN IS GONE, NOW I CAN'T GET THE BLADES TO STOP IN THE OFF POSITION. WELL, I HAD TO PULL OVER I COULDN'T CONCENTRATE ON WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO MY WIPERS? AS WELL AS DRIVE. THIS HAPPENED ON JULY 10, 2019. I'VE CALLED GMC A COUPLE TIMES, 1ST TIME THEY JUST CLOSED NEXT TIME I DIDNT TRANSFER TO SERVICE DEPT . I JUST THINK , THERE SHOULD BE SOMETHING TO NOTIFY YOU , I JUST HAPPENED TO GET HOME BEFORE THE STORM HIT. I WAS ON A COUNTY ROAD WHEN IT HAPPENED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS FAULTY DO TO BATTERY DRAIN. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH A MAJORITY OF TRUCKS AND SUV'S OF THE SAME GENERATION AS MY 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE COST FROM THE DEALER TO REPLACE THIS PART IS APPROXIMATELY $2000. THERE ARE AFTERMARKET INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO REPLACE THIS PART AT A COST OF ALL MOST $600. THIS REQUIRES PROGRAMMING BY THE DEALER FOR A COST OF ANOTHER $500+ ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE REPEAT IT SELF AT LATER DATE.

THE SUBJECT VEHICLE HAD RECENTLY BEEN PARKED AFTER TOWING A 29 FOOT LONG TRAVEL TRAILER. IT HAD SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS SINCE WE LAST USED IT. DURING THE 2011 30 OCTOBER SNOW STORM IN PA, I WENT TO PICK IT UP TO USE IT. I STARTED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. ALL OF THE ANTILOCK AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND BACK IT BACK THE DRIVEWAY AND PARK IT. WE LATER CALLED AAA AND HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND LET US KNOW THAT THEY HAD FOUND A BRAKE LINE THAT BURST DUE TO CORROSION. THIS BRAKE LINE IS ALMOST DIRECTLY UNDER THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY AND IS SOMEWHAT HIDDEN FROM VIEW. IT LIES ATOP THE FRAME IN THIS AREA AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER HAD CORRODED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THEY HAD TO FABRICATE A REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINE AND WERE ABLE TO REPLACE IT. THEY FURTHER INDICATED THEY LOOKED AT THE OTHER BRAKE LINES AND DID NOT SEE ANY FURTHER INDICATION OF CORROSION. I HAVE DRIVEN THE GMC FOR ABOUT TEN MILES SINCE THE REPAIR AND THE BRAKES APPEAR TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. LET ME ADD THIS, I HAVE OWNED 15 DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN MY LIFE AND NOT ONE HAS HAD TO HAVE A STEEL BRAKE LINE REPLACED. THIS IS THE FIRST. JUST LIKE THE OTHER GM OWNERS, WHEN THESE LINES FAIL THE BRAKING ABILITY TO STOP THIS TWO TON VEHICLE IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT I AM VERY THANKFUL THIS LINE DID NOT FAIL WHILE TOWING THE 29 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER. *KB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

WE HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON. SINCE WE'VE HAD IT, REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS BECOME A CONSTANT AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. MOST RECENTLY, YESTERDAY, MY HUSBAND WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS A SLOWER VEHICLE WITH HUGE TIRES ON THE BACK ONLY TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. IF SOMEONE HAD BEEN BEHIND US, WE WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT, SERIOUSLY INJURED, MAYBE EVEN DEAD WITH SOME OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAVE HAD ON THE INTERSTATE. TODAY IS AUGUST 23, 2011. WE HAD THIS VEHICLE FIXED ON JULY 28, 2011, PAYING ALMOST $600 FOR IT TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. IT SAYS ON THE TICKET THAT WE TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AND WERE UNDER THE IMPRESSION THIS WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY, WHICH I BELIEVE INCLUDED THE APP SENSOR, AND CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY OF EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP. AFTER SPENDING $500-600, I WANT TO KNOW WHY WE ARE STILL HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH SO MANY OTHERS I HAVE SEEN COMPLAIN ABOUT IT ONLINE? GMC HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. *TR
Aug 23, 2011
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY OR WITHIN CITY, THE TRUCK DISPLAYS A WARNING "STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED, REDUCED ENGINE POWER". THE TRUCK WHILE IN MOTION LOWERS POWER AND BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD, UNABLE TO DRIVE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. FORCED TO PULL OVER AND IN ONE INSTANCE THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE AFOREMENTIONED WARNING. TO DATE THE THROTTLE BODY HAS BEEN REPLACED HOWEVER THE CONDITION RETURNED 1 WEEK LATER, UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. AT THIS TIME A SOLUTION TO THE CONDITION HAS NOT PRESENTED ITSELF AND THE TRUCK IS QUITE DANGEROUS AS IT MAY SHUT DOWN OR REDUCE ITS ENGINE POWER DUE TO THIS DEFECT THAT GM IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY. *TR

STEERING
14 complaints
THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL OCCURRENCE. AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (5-55 MPH) THE STEERING GOES OUT AND YOU CANNOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO CORRECT THIS. THE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND SINCE THIS IS NOT A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM, THEY ARE UNABLE TO EXPERIENCE IT. IT'S A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU ARE ON THE BELTWAY AND NEED TO TAKE AN EXIT, OR FOLLOW THE BELTWAY BEARING RIGHT OR LEFT AND YOU HAVE NO CONTROL OF YOUR STEERING. MORE FRIGHTENING IS WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I'VE HAD ONE MINOR INCIDENT/ACCIDENT WHILE BACKING UP TO PARK MY TRUCK AT A CAMPGROUND. I DID NOT HAVE MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND WAS DRIFTING. THERE WAS A TREE BEHIND ME, WHICH I NEEDED TO PARK NEXT TO, AND THE STEERING WENT OUT AND MY LEFT BUMPER EDGE CAUGHT THE TREE, WHICH PUSHED THE BUMPER IN SLIGHTLY. THIS CAUSED THE RUBBER TRACK ON THE TOP OF THE BUMPER TO POP UP AND IT CANNOT BE REATTACHED. ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE NASTY SCRATCHES ON THE BUMPERS EDGE. *TR

MY SON AND I WERE GOING NORTH ON RT 1 IN REHOBOTH BEACH AND STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND SMELLED GAS. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND GAS WAS LEAKING FAST FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. TOOK IT STRAIGHT UP TO MY MECHANIC [XXX] AT EMERY CHASSISWORKS AND LEFT IT FOR HIM TO CHECK. HE FOUND THE METAL GAS PUMP HAS RUSTED OUT ON TOP AND WAS PUMPING GAS ALL OVER. .HE SAID HE ONLY FOUND ONE OTHER YUKON WITH THAT PROBLEM. ALL THE OTHERS HAD A PLASTIC TOP (THAT COULD NOT RUST). THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS (ANY CIGARETTE, SPARK, ETC.) AND WE WERE BLOWN UP. WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THE GAS PUMP ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK WITH A PLASTIC TOP THAT DOESN'T RUST. VERY DANGEROUS.

MY 18-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER NARROWLY ESCAPED DEATH THE EVENING OF MAY 1ST WHILE DRIVING MY 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. SHE WAS IN A RELATIVELY "ROUTINE" ACCIDENT IN WHICH SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND STRUCK A TREE HEAD-ON IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA OF COLORADO SPRINGS. A GOOD SAMARITAN PULLED HER FROM THE VEHICLE SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE ERUPTED INTO A MASSIVE FIREBALL THAT COMPLETELY GUTTED THE VEHICLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I AM ENORMOUSLY TROUBLED BY THE FIREBALL -- NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAPPEN IN THIS TYPE OF ACCIDENT. I AM REMINDED OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE FORD PINTO AND FORD EXPLORER AND WORRY THAT THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THIS VEHICLE THAT MAY COST OTHERS THEIR LIVES. I PURCHASED AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING BIG, HEAVY AND SAFE TO PROTECT MY FAMILY, NEVER ANTICIPATING THIS HORRIFIC SCENARIO. WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO INVESTIGATE THIS INCIDENT? I HAVE MOST OF MY MAINTENANCE RECORDS, THE POLICE REPORT, PHOTOGRAPHS, NEWS ACCOUNTS, YOUTUBE VIDE, ETC. USAA IS MY INSURER. THE VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS BUT I HAVE ASKED USAA TO HOLD THE VEHICLE SO THAT YOU OR ANOTHER APPROPRIATE AGENCY CAN CONDUCT AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON DELAWARE ROUTE # 1 DOING THE SPEED LIMIT (65MPH) IN MY 2004 GMC YUKONXL WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER EVEN WITHIN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. AFTER ASSESSING THE SITUATION I REALIZE THAT MY MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING WITH THE DASH INDICATORS SHOWING THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE REDUCED POWER SIGNAL LIGHT ON. WHEN TRAFFIC HAD CLEARED I ATTEMPTED TO GO BACK ON THE HIGHWAY BUT FOUND I COULD ONLY TRAVEL BETWEEN 35-40 MILES PER HOUR. KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A GM DEALER AHEAD IN 15-20 MILES I CONTINUED ON RT #1 SINCE THE SPEED LIMIT AHEAD WAS REDUCED TO 55MPH. WHEN I REACHED THE GM DEALER I.G.BURTON IN MILFORD DELAWARE I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THAT I PROBABLY HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY (CARBURETOR) AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY SEEMED TO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM. I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE WORK DONE AT THAT POINT FOR A COST OF $568.32. *TR

I HAD A TIRE FAILURE WITH A SET OF GOOD YEAR EAGLES LS1. THE TIRE HAD FIVE TO SIX CRACKS IN THE INNER AND OUTER SIDE WALL OF THE TIRE CAUSING THE TIRE TO DEFLATE. INITIALLY I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST ONE TIRE, BUT, IT ENDED UP BEING ALL FOUR TIRES. I TOOK THE TIRE IN TO GET ANOTHER ONE ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE TIRES WERE FLAWED AND THAT I WOULD AND OR SHOULD REPLACE THEM AS THEY WERE NOW A SAFETY HAZARD. I ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES. MY QUESTION IS, AT WHAT POINT DOES A TIRE BECOME FLAWED? AND WHO SHOULD BEAR THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO LOSE A LIFE BEFORE WE CAN MAKE THESE TIRE COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE? I CONTACTED GOOD YEAR AND I GOT THE SUBSTANDARD RESPONSE THAT I HAD GOT A FAIR PRICE FOR NEW TIRES, AFTER ALL, THEY DID PRORATE THEM. AGAIN, AT WHAT POINT IS A TIRE FLAWED? AND SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO BEAR THE COSTS FOR THESE CORPORATIONS? *TR

ENGINE LOSING COOLANT, WITH NO APPARENT SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. COOLANT APPEARS TO BE LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE OIL, CAUSING IT TO SLUDGE, THEREBY CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE.

SINCE GETTING THIS CAR IN 2005, MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED REDUCED ENGINE POWER. WHETHER GOING 40MPH ON A 2 LANE ROAD OR 70 ON THE INTERSTATE, THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE "FIXED" TWICE, SPENT ABOUT $1000 ON 2 SEPARATE "REPAIRS," YET THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW SCARY IT IS TO BE GOING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND THEN HAVE YOUR ENGINE POWER REDUCED. TO BE GOING 70 AND THEN FORCED BELOW 70 IS DANGEROUS. WE COULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND KILLED TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND PASS SOMEONE. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. I KNOW NUMEROUS GM OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ACROSS NUMEROUS VEHICLES. WHY HAVEN'T YOU FORCED THEM TO FIX IT? IS IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT BAILED THEM OUT, AND IT WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE ECONOMY? SAFETY AND RELIABILITY ON ROADWAYS SHOULD BE IMPORTANT, TOO. *TR

I VERY RARELY USE MY REAR GLASS HATCH OF MY 2004 YUKON, BUT RECENTLY WHEN HAVING TO LOAD UP MY YUKON TO EVACUATE HURRICANE GUSTAV. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOAD POP AND NOTICED THAT THE LEFT REAR GLASS HINGE HAD BROKEN UP. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY HAVE THE REPLACEMENT IN STOCK, BUT SINCE THEY DO NOT DEEM IT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I FIND THIS SHOCKING SINCE THEY KNOW THAT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY KEEP THIS ITEM IN STOCK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CHARGE YOU $900 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

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.

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

AS I SLOWED EXITING A FREEWAY ABOUT 35 MPH, I HEARD A SCREECH & A BIT OF LOSS OF POWER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT INTO REVERSE FOR PARKING (LATER) IT WAS APPARENT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. AS I INVESTIGATED ON LINE IT WAS AN ONGOING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM DUE TO "LESS THAN ROBUST PARTS" INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. GM DEALER-SERVICE REP. JOHN AT ZUBOR AGREED WITH THIS AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT GM SINCE IT WAS, JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT TOOK GM TWO WEEKS OR MORE TO REPLY & RETURN MY CALLS & EMAILS, WHEN OF COURSE I WAS TOLD A GM DEALER MUST DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM--VEHICLE WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AT THAT POINT BY MY OWN MECHANIC. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION & SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAD NO PROMISE OF GM ASSISTANCE, I TOOK IT WHERE I COULD! I PAID $1850.00 FOR A NEW TRANS WITH WARRANTY. I WOULD NOT BE WRITING EXCEPT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM & THE GM TECH ON LINE SAID THERE WAS "NOTHING YOU COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING SINCE THE INTERIOR PARTS ARE WEAK". GM TECH COMMENTED GM HAD BEGAN USING MORE "ROBUST PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT, BUT DUE TO HIGH LABOR COSTS (INTERIOR PARTS) HE SUGGESTED TO REPLACE TRANS SO YOU WOULD HAVE A WARRANTY".

HELLO OVER THE LAST TWO WEEKS, MY TRUCK HAS HAD THE FOLLOWING INTERMITTENT MESSAGE FLASH ACROSS THE DASH "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND "STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED", AND THE TRUCK IS LIMITED TO 25MPH.. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN TRAFFIC, FORCING MY WIFE, OR MYSELF TO HAVE TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND PULL OFF THE FREEWAY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. AFTER SITTING FOR 5-10 MINUTES THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF, AND THE ENGINE WILL BE FINE. THE DESCRIBED SCENARIO JUST OCCURRED AGAIN TODAY FOR THE 3RD TIME IN ONE DAY,, SO THINGS APPEAR TO DEGRADING RAPIDLY, AND I WILL NEED TO HAVE THE SYSTEM REVIEWED AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I HAVE FOUND A THREAD WITH NUMEROUS RELATED CONCERNS AT EDMUNDS,COM (HTTP://FORUMS.EDMUNDS.COM/DISCUSSION/5759/GMC/YUKON-DENALI/GMC-YUKON-REDUCED-ENGINE-POWER-MESSAGE), AND IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THEIR IS A VALID RECALL FOR MY VIN.

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Yukon. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power. The check engine warning light and another unknown warning light were illuminated, and a message was displayed that the gas port was reducing power. On a separate occasion, the vehicle started to lose motive power and then the vehicle started to shake. The vehicle was losing power and shaking until the vehicle was turned off. The vehicle was restarted and drove normally for six months without failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with throttle body failure; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted three more times with different diagnoses. The vehicle was taken to other independent mechanics however, the cause for the failure was not yet determined. The vehicle was not repaired for the most recent failure. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 123,000.

OUR YUKON ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WILL JUST DISPLAY REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SPEED WILL DECREASE RAPIDLY. I HAVE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF REMOVED KEY WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT MAY RUN FINE OR MAY JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. BETWEEN THE TOW BILLS AND SHOP FEES I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN THE TRUCK IS WORTH. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND SPENT OVER 5K FOR THEM TO STATE THE CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY SAY THERE ARE NO CODES. THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT RUN NORMAL FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THERE IS NO PATTERN. IT HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND THEREFORE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES OCCURS. MAKING THIS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 80 MPH. THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I AM NOT SURE WHY GMC HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I SAW SEVERAL OTHER BLOGS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I LOVED MY TRUCK UP UNTIL THESE ISSUES STARTED, PREVIOUS TO THIS THE TRUCK HAD A PARASITIC DRAW THAT AFTER 3 YEARS MY BROTHER FIGURED OUT NOT GM OR ANY OTHER MECHANIC. THAT WAS THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE FOR THOSE THAT MAY BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IS THERE A WAY TO ENCOURAGE GM TO DO A RECALL? I NOW HAVE A USELESS TRUCK SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

I JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2004 GMC YUKON, 2WD. MILES ON IT WAS 188. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I DROVE IT HOME WHICH IS ABOUT 10-15 MILES AWAY. AS I GET CLOSE TO HOME, THE BELL IN THE CAR STARTS TO CHIME, THE ROOF LIGHTS TURN ON, AND ACROSS THE ODEMETER READER, IT READS "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". I PARKED MY CAR AND HAD HIM SHUT THE DOOR AGAIN. AS I DROVE OFF, THE BELL CHIMES, THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON, AND IT STILL READS "PASSENGER DOOR AJAR". SO I GET OUT AND OPEN AND CLOSE ALL THE DOORS INCLUDING THE TRUNK. SAME PROBLEM. THIS GOES ON EVEN AFTER I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP. TOLD THE SALES MANAGER THE PROBLEM. HE SAW IT FOR HIMSELF AND TOLD ME TO BRING IT TO THE MECHANICS. WENT TO THE MECHANICS AND THREE OF THEM SAW THE PROBLEM. ONE OF THEM RECOGNIZED IT AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A WIRE LOOSE ON THE PASSENGER DOOR. HE CALLED IT AN "AUSCHUWAITER" (SP?). HE SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE DOOR APART. THE MANGER CALLED IT A "SIMPLE SITUATION" AND THIS IS WHAT I REPLIED, "IT'S NOT "SIMPLE" WHAT IF I HAD DECIDED TO TAKE THAT DRIVE WITH MY 9 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND THE PROBLEM OCCURS. AND IN THE EXCITEMENT, WHILE I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, SHE UN-BUCKLES HER SEATBELT AND OPENS THE DOOR, FALLS OUT INTO THE FREEWAY, I PANIC AND LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. WE CAUSE THIS HUGE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WITH FATALITIES, MY DAUGHTER COUNTED." MANAGER TOLD ME, IT'S A BIG CAR WITH 100,000 PARTS. NOT ALL OF THEM ARE GOING TO BE PERFECT. 1/5000 WAS HIS ESTIMATE, PROBLEMATIC WISE. THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD SEEN THIS MANY TIMES ON A GMC, BUT I DID NOT SEE ANY COMPLAINTS FILED SO HERE'S MINE. IT'S JUST BEEN A DAY AFTER I GOT IT REPAIRED BECAUSE THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART IN ORDER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE'LL SEE HOW IT HANDLES NOW. HAD I KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM, I WOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED MY BLOOD FOR IT. THANKS.

TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS NOR INJURIES, BUT I HAVE LOST ALL 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 35 MONTHS I OWNED IT, DRIVING THE SAME EXACT ROADS THAT THE WARNING FLASHES ON NOW. *TR

SOMETIMES, IF I WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR, IT'LL START JUST FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I FIRST BROUGHT IT INTO HENDRICK CHEVROLET ON 10/15/12. THEY CHARGED ME ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE "APP SENSOR ASSEMBLY". THEN I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON 11/6/12 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE "CONNECTOR AT THE THROTTLE BODY" AND CHARGED ME $223.09. THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. I THEN BROUGHT IT BACK ON 12/20/12 WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE WON'T TURN OFF AS A RESULT OF THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER-STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED WARNING. THEY SIMPLY RESET THE WARNING AND THAT WAS IT. TIL THIS DAY, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER/STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED.

I HAVE THREE SEPARATE COMPLAINTS: 1) IN DECEMBER 2004 I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THEN SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD CRASHING SOUND THAT CAME FROM UNDERNEATH OF THE HOOD OF MY YUKON. IT WAS APPARENT THAT SOMETHING CAME APART FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD BECAUSE WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR, AND THEN PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY; THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE IN ANY OF THE FREEWAY LANES WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT I RAN OVER SOMETHING. WHATEVER CAME APART, YOU COULD HEAR IT BEING DRUG FROM THE FRONT, ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. IT TORE THE ENTIRE LEFT FENDER WELL APART, IT CUT A WHOLE INTO MY LEFT CUSTOM TIRE, AND IT CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE , ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NEAREST GMC DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD HIM THAT WE WOULD BE CHARGED FOR THEM TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. MY HUSBAND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO ENDURE THE COST TO HAVE THE LEFT REAR FENDER WELL THAT WAS DAMAGED FROM THIS INCIDENT. (2) IN MARCH 2005 MY YUKON'S DIGITAL READING KEPT STATING SERVICE AIR BAG. ALSO, IT DISPLAYED THE PICTURE OF A PERSON IN THE SEAT WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE THAT IS FAIRLY NEW, THAT HAS ONLY 18,007 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR SAFETY PURPOSES, AND NOW I HAVE TO DEAL WITH DEFECTS THAT THE DEALER IS NOT WILLING REPAIR AT NO COST TO ME. (3) THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING GEARS VERY ROUGHLY, AND AT TIMES WHEN IT IS PLACED INTO REVERSE OR DRIVE IT JERKS VERY HARD, AND OTHER TIMES WHEN PROCEEDING TO DRIVE IT DRAGS AS IF IT HAS NO POWER. *AK

While driving on the freeway at 75 mph I felt significant reduction in speed and the rpms went pretty high. It felt as if I had my foot on the accelerator and the brake at the same time. There was also a burnt smell. After a few minutes it went back to normal. This continued to happen sporadically so I took it to my mechanic he inspected the vehicle could not find an issue he also ran a code scan. No codes pertaining to this issue only knocker sensor and O2 sensor. I replaced those anyway. Then a few days later I was driving to work at it happened again going about 55 mph it felt like the transmission had downshift to a very low gear there was smoke and really bad burning smell. I pulled over immediately and called my mechanic. He towed the vehicle to his shop still could not find a problem. After several months of sitting I had to drive the vehicle home. After approximately 5 miles there was smoke and small flames coming from behind the front drivers side wheel. My mechanic checked the brake, it had engaged without me pressing the pedal and stuck. Now we are having issues getting brake fluid to the rear brakes. Possibly the proportioning valve.

So I paid to replace the throttle body and gas pedal cause that was the codes for the problem. But it's still doing the same thing and I don't have money to keep buying parts.Plus it a gm problem and I really need some help with the fixture..

THE CAR WILL NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN 15MPH, EVEN WITH YOU FOOT ON THE GAS PETAL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE SHOP MORE TIMES THAN I CAN COUNT. THEY KEEP REPLACING DIFFERENT PARTS THINKING THAT IT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. ALMOST WITHIN A WEEK AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN WITHOUT NOTICE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I TREASURE MY KIDS AND I DO NOT WANT THIS TO HAPPEN WHENEVER I AM ON THE FREEWAY GOING 60 OR 70 MPH AND A SEMI TRUCK RUNS INTO THE BACK OF ME WHENEVER THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. APPARENTLY GMC DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR GMC MODEL. IS IT GONG TO TAKE THE LOSS OF SOMEONE'S LIFE BEFORE THE NHTSA TAKES A STAND ON THIS ISSSUE. I HAVE SPENT OVER $2000.00 IN REPAIR BILLS AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE JUST THIS PAST WEEK.

WE PAID A LOT FOR THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD THINK GMC WOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND CORRECT THE PRODUCT THEY STAND BY,AND ARE VERY PROUD OF. I WOULD LOVE TO JUST PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY, I LOST MY JOB, WE ARE PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK WITH MY HUSBANDS INCOME. I CAN'T FIX OR REPLACE THIS CAR, THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED BEFORE ALL THE MALFUNCTIONS/DEFECTS.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE TRACTION CONTROL LITE CAME ON IN DASH THEN POWER TO SUV WAS LOST THEN ELECTRONIC MESSAGE READ OUT STATED "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED " THEN " REDUCED ENGINE SPEED" MESSAGE APPEARED. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE BUT NEARLY GOT REARENDED HIT BY SEMI. ENGINE WOULD RUN ONLY AT IDLE SPEED. AFTER SHUTTING OFF VEHICLE AND WAITING MINUTE OR TWO THEN RESTARTING IT RAN FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN. SPEEDS VARY 70,55,40 MPH IT DOESN'T MATTER. AFTER CALLING DIFFERENT GMC DEALERS ABOUT PROBLEM THEY ACT LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THEY NEVER HEARD OF."BULL**** !!!!. ITS THE SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS GMC OWNERS ARE FACING ON THE INTERNET. GMC CUSTOMERS HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WITH NO PROBLEMS SOLVED. ALL THEY WANT TO DO IS HOOK YOU UP TO ELECTRONIC MACHINE AND OVERCHARGE YOU FOR THE SAME THING AUTOZONE ,ETC. BUSINESSES WILL DO FOR FREE. I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR THEM TO BE PARTS REPLACERS . GMC SHOULD KNOW THE EXACT PART TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

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

I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN ON AT LEAST 12 OCCASIONS, WITH REPEAT VISITS FOR SAME PROBLEM USUALLY THE SAME DAY. MY CAR HAS GIVEN OFF NUMEROUS CODES WHICH INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING: B0026, B0040, B0041, B0043, B2470, B0229, B3770. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO 3 SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS WHERE THEY HAVE REPLACED HARNESSES, WIRES, CONNECTORS ETC. NONE OF THIS SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. I HAVE FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS ALSO HAVE HAD NY HORN BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CALLED ONSTAR TO PERFORM DIAGNOSTICS ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAS NUMEROUS CODES COMING UP, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL CORRECTED, BECAUSE THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY ON ITS OWN OR IT MAY NOT DEPLOY IF MY CAR IS WRECKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $40,000 TO BUY A NEW ONE. I HAVE EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO GMC'S ARBITRATION DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY HAVE SENT ME SEVERAL LETTERS STATING THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO BUY MY CAR BACK. MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE NOT REPLACEABLE, AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I GET IN THE VEHICLE THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, AND THIS IS HORRIBLE FEELING FOR A MOTHER, WHOSE JOB IS TO PROTECT HER CHILDREN. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS, BUT ALL HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. IT IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT, IT IS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE. I TRULY BELIEVE AS MY KIDS HAVE SAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS TRULY POSSESSED, AND IN MY OPINION NOT FIXABLE. *NM

NO FURTHER EXPLANATION IS OFFERED BY THE DEALER OR GM "CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE". I BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT ACTIVATES BRAKES ON DRY PAVEMENT WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE PEDAL IS DANGEROUS.

WHEN MY HUSBAND ASKED WHY THE 2ND FUEL PUMP THEY PUT ON DID NOT HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD THAT GM DOESN'T WARRANTY ANY WARRANTY PARTS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS STRANDED WITH MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. EACH TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMPS BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY MY FUEL PUMPS SEEM TO QUIT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 25000 MILES.
