2004 GMC Yukon Xl Steering Problems

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.

IN DECEMBER OF 2005, STARTING HEARING A LOUD RATTLE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF MY 2004 GMC YUKON WITH 26,099 MILES. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WROTE "LUBRICATED BODY MOUNT CUSHIONS". NOW IN FEBRUARY 2007 WITH 46222 MILES THE RATTLE IS BACK. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND WWW.TOPIX.NET GMC YUKON SUSPENSION RATTLE WITH COMPLAINTS FROM DOZENS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. GM HAS EVEN CREATED A LUBRICATION KIT FOR IT'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO USE, HOWEVER IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IS IN THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER LIED ABOUT THE SERVICE PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AND GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED, BUT THE RATTLE CONTINUES. APPARENTLY THERE IS ACTUALLY THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN BEARING THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF THE STEERING BEARING WEARS OUT. DOES MY STEERING GO OUT? WILL I HAVE AN ACCIDENT? I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING A RECALL AND NOTHING. *JB
