2003 GMC Yukon Driver assistance Problems

SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY STICKS, OR ACCELERATES TO MAXIMUM. OIL PRESSURE GAUGES MAX OUT AS WELL. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH NO CONCEPT OF SPEED, AND ALSO VERY ILLEGAL. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE, I CAN TURN OFF THE ENGINE. IF I CONTINUE TO TURN THE KEY 90% (BUT NOT ENOUGH TO START THE ENGINE), AND LET OFF, THE GAUGES WILL DROP UP TO 5%. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF RESETTING THE INSTRUMENTS, THE GAUGES WILL RESET. HOWEVER, THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE I MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AT 40 INSTEAD OF 25, BUT MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS 80. CLEARLY UNSAFE.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON 95N OF COLLEGE PARK, MD, MY VEHICLE POWER SEEM TO SHUTDOWN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE "REDUCE POWER ENGINE" MESSAGE APPEARED IN MY INSTRUMENTATION PANEL. FORTUNATELY I WAS CLOSE TO THE EMERGENCY PULL OFF OF THE LEFT LANE TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON, AND THE MESSAGE WENT A WAY. I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE TO WITH MY JOURNEY. HOWEVER, JUST RECENTLY, IT HAS DONE IT AGAIN, THIS TIME MY SPEED WAS AROUND 35MPH. ONCE AGAIN, I TURNED IT OFF, THAN ON AND THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY AND I HAD POWER IN MY ACCELERATION AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I'M TAKING IT BACK IN TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. *TR

WIFE DRIVING TRUCK TO WORK " REDUCED ENGINE POWER", MESSAGE CAME ON THE DASH, AND ALSO SAID TRACTION CONTROL WAS DISABLED. POWER WAS REDUCED GRADUALLY TO TEN MILES PER HOUR. SHE FLOORED THE GAS, NOTHING. TURNED IT OFF, RESTARTED IT, NOTHING. ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION DISABLED LIGHTED WERE ILLUMINATED. ALSO THE REAR MIRROR TEMPERATURE DISPLAY FLICKERS ALL THE TIME. DRL BURN OUT ALMOST DAILY. GMCS HAVE MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEFORE PEOPLE START DYING. IMAGINE A CAR SHUTTING DOWN ON YOU WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THAT AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE REAR WIPER WORKS WHEN IT FEELS LIKE WORKING, THERE IS ALSO A MESSAGE ABOUT FIXING THE RIDE CONTROL. FOR ALL THE BAIL MONEY GMC GOT, THEY SHOULD RECALL THESE MISTAKES THEY MADE. *TR

HELLO, WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT ALSO HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR 3 OR 4 MIN AND RESTART IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. GMC SAYS THEY KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND THEY SAY THAT GM SAYS THE SAME THING ( WE KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT). THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES DO TO THIS HAPPENING AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER PPL HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THANKS *TR

MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING, AND WHEN (THE GAUGE) IS TRYING TO OPERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE GAUGE DOES THE SAME AS WELL AS THE GAS GAUGE. I KNOW ALL MY DASHBOARD GAUGES NEED TO BE CHECKED FOR MALFUNCTION. THIS BEGAN TWO WEEKS AGO, I CALLED DOUG HENRY OF FARMVILLE TO CHECK MY VEHICLE FOR RECALLS, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT IS NOT LISTED. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2003 GMC YUKON XL, HE RECEIVED A LETTER DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM AND GOT INFORMATION TO GET IT FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED IN THIS PARTICULAR RECALL. *TR

2003 GMC YUKON AWD W/ STABILITRAK. 40,000 MI.: WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE "TRACTION ACTIVE" DASH DISPLAY WILL VERY OFTEN COME ON, THE POWERTRAIN DISENGAGES AND I HAVE TO LET UP ON GAS UNTIL TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGES. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE SEPTEMBER, NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED, SINCE THE DRIVERS BEHIND ME PRESUPPOSE I WILL CONTINUE ACCELERATING. A GM DEALER, AFTER EXAM & DIAGNOSTICS, COULD FIND NO PROBLEM, EVEN AFTER BEING ADVISED ABOUT POSSIBLE "WHEEL CORROSION." IN THE MEANTIME OF COURSE, IT CONTINUES. AN ENTRY IN EDMUNDS "CAR SPACE" HAS REFERRED ME TO "DOCUMENT ID#1819672 202 GMC TRUCK GMC K SIERRA 4WD; SUBJECT: PRODUCT SAFETY - FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR CORROSION #05068B - (04/21/2006). THIS SEEMS TO BE A DANGEROUS, SERIOUS PROBLEM WHICH SHOULD MERIT A RECALL. *JB
