WHILE WE ARE DRIVING ON A FREEWAY THE CAR SUDDENLY STOP AND WILL HAVE A "STABILITY LOSE CONTROL" MESSAGE ON A DASH BOARD. THE CAR WILL STOP MOMENTARILY AND THEN IT WILL RUN AGAIN AFTER WE START THE CAR. THE CAR HAS NO POWER AT ALL ONCE IT STOPPED. IT HAPPENS A LOT SO RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT USING IT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE. A BIG SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WE USE THIS TO TRAVEL WITH FAMILY. I BROUGHT THIS TO THE MECHANIC BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT THEY DID NOT GET AN ERROR MESSAGE AT ALL. ENGINE LIGHT IS NOT EVEN ON.

I HAVE A 2008 GMC YUKON SLT THAT I BOUGHT IN FEB OF 2015 WITH 94,000 MILES. I HAVE SERVICED IT REGULARLY FROM DAY 1 AND EVEN PAID IT OFF IN 2.5 YEARS. AS SOON AS I PAID IT OFF, THE VERY NEXT MONTH, MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE ONCE IN A WHILE W/ NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO NO ONE COULD TELL WHAT WAS WRONG. AT THAT SAME TIME MY "SERVICE STABILITRAK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" WOULD DING ABOUT 40 TIMES IN A ROW. I SERVICED THE 2 AND IT DID NOT HELP FOR MORE THAN 2 DAYS AND IT STARTED AGAIN. THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CODES WERE FOR NEW PLUGS AND FUEL FILTER. STILL DIDN'T HELP. THEN MY ENGINE BLEW! GOT THAT REPLACED AND IT STILL TO THIS DAY IS DOING SAME THING! SO, LIKE THE 330 OTHERS, WE HAVE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NO ONE CARES TO ADDRESS, AND I'M DONE TRYING! IF THIS MAN ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IT'S A GM ISSUE! I'M COPYING THE NHTSA AND MY ATTY GENERAL FOR HELP. PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK AND READ 330 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT THING AND YOUTUBE HAS PEOPLE ACTUALLY STUCK BC THEIR CAR DIED. MINE DID NOT EVER DIE BUT IT SURE FEELS LIKE IT IS AND . IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY YUKON! PLEASE HELP US! I'M ON UNEMPLOYMENT AND CANNOT AFFORD ANYMORE REPAIRS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS MANY THINGS TO BE FIXED AND STILL NOT TOUCH THE PROBLEM!

I LOVE MY TRUCK. THE ONLY THING THAT IS UNSATISFYING IS MY CRACKED DASH FROM THE LEFT SIDE TO THE RIGHT OF THE TRUCK. THE AIR BAG LIGHT FLASHES DUE TO THE SIDES WALL AND DASH BOARD AIR BAG IS COMING OUT.I WOULD HATE TO HIT A SQUIRREL AND IT THE AIR BAG POPS. I HAVE ONE WINDOW THAT REFUSES TO COME DOWN AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE DANG CRUISE CONTROL ONLY SETS AFTER 80MPH. I HVE TO PRAY EVERYDAY NOT TO GET A SPEEDING TICKET IN LOW SPEEDING AREAS AND THE DASH BOARD WITH THE SHARP EDGES WILL NOT CAUSE MORE INJURIES THAN THE AIRBAG IF I'M EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE COME TO SOME TYPE OF AGREEMENT FOE A RECALL TO FIX THIS MATTER. PRETTY TRUCK OUTSIDE BUT THE INSIDE CLEAN, CRACK, AND BROKE UP AS IS IT WAS A FIGHT INSIDE.HELP HELP HELP BRING IT BACK TO LIFE

THE CAR FLASHES REDUCED ENGINE POWER, STABILITRACK OFF AND THE CAR CAN BARELY GO 30 MPH. THE ENGINE RUNS VERY ROUGH WHEN IT IS DOING THIS ALSO. MY CODE SCANNER DISPLAYS CODE 641 WHICH IS OPEN 5VOLT REFERENCE ON BANK 1. IT DOES THIS MORE WHEN THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS WARMER OR THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING STILL WHILE RUNNING. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC CAUSING NEAR MISSES AND OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. JUST YESTERDAY IT DID IT 20 TIMES IN A FOUR MILE STRETCH. THIS CAR IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE.

I'M DRIVING AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROLS LIGHTS START FLASHING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT GOES INTO 1ST GEAR AND WON'T SHIFT OUT. IT TAKES ABOUT 15 SECONDS TO GO FROM DRIVING 60 MILES AND AIR DOWN TO 10. GMC HAD IT A TOTAL OF 7 WEEKS IN THE WINTER OF 2015/2016 AND COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. DOING IT AGAIN NOW7/7/2016. TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER. THEY THINK IT'S A WIRING PROBLEM BUT CAN'T FIND IT EITHER. TOLD ME WOULD JUST HAVE TO DRIVE IT TILL IT GETS WORSE. I NOTICED THIS LAST TIME IT MESSED UP THAT IT HAD BEEN SHIFTING VERY HARD THAT DAY. VERY FRUSTRATING TO PAY THAT MUCH FOR A VEHICLE YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING. READY TO TRADE BUT NOT SURE I HAVE MUCH FAITH IN GM VEHICLES AFTER ALL THE PROBLEMS I'VE BEEN READING ABOUT.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEED (70) THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE RPM'S WENT OVER 4K, THEN THE YUKON SLOWED IN TRAFFIC AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE BEFORE BEING RUN OVER. THE ACCELERATOR WAS UNRESPONSIVE AT THAT TIME. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN RESUMED DRIVING USING '3' TO ENGAGE TRANSMISSION INSTEAD OF 'D' THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON, BUT I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION 2 HOURS AWAY. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING ON A VERY BUSY INTERSTATE, I BACKED OFF THE GAS AND WENT TO ACCELERATE WHEN MY VEHICLE WENT TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THANKFULLY, THE CAR MADE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT WHICH HAD A GM DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL POSITION SENSOR. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH 2008. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN MARCH 2012. 2 YEARS LATER IN MARCH 2014, THIS ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN. THE SAME PART WAS REPLACED. WE CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT. WE WERE TOLD THEY WOULD PROBABLY NOT DO ANYTHING, IT'S SCARY THAT A GAS PEDAL HAS BEEN REPLACED I A VEHICLE TWICE IN 6 YEARS. *TR

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO GMC BULLETIN #PIP4112J : SAG OR HESITATION ON ACCELERATION (NORMAL OPERATION CHARACTERISTICS) - (JUL 21, 2011). I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PROBLEM SINCE DAY ONE AND TOOK THE SUV TO MANY DEALERS BUT DEALERS COULD NOT VERIFY THE CONCERN UNTIL NOW. THE 2008 GMC YUKON XL DENALI WOULD STOP ACCELERATING FOR 2-3 SECONDS WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS WHEN I AM TRYING TO PASS A LANE, TRYING TO ENTER HIGHWAY, TRYING TO CLIMB A MILD HILL OR TRYING TO AVOID A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. AFTER THE DELAY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD DOWN SHIFT AND I THINK IT DOWN SHIFTS TO EITHER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR CAUSING THE SUV TO ROAR LIKE CRAZY AND SHOOTS OUT LIKE A CANNON. I HAD AN INCIDENT WHERE THE COPS GAVE ME A WARNING WITH THE LIGHTS AND SIREN PROBABLY THINKING THAT I WAS DRIVING RECKLESSLY. THERE WERE ALSO INCIDENTS WHERE I'VE HAD THE GAS PEDAL PRESSED DOWN ABOUT 80%-90% TRYING TO CLIMB A MILD ELEVATION AND EITHER THE ENGINE AND OR TRANSMISSION STARTED TO CHOKE. IT WAS SO BAD THAT THE DENALI ALMOST CAME TO A FULL STOP. YOU REALLY HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THIS ON YOUR OWN TO UNDERSTAND HOW SCARY AND NERVE WRECKING IT IS WHEN YOU HAVE VEHICLES ABOUT TO RAM YOU FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE SUV SIMPLY WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. MANY TIMES, I HAD TO SWERVE BACK IN TO ORIGINAL LANE IN FEAR OF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DON'T EVEN LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE. SERVICE MANAGER WAS KIND ENOUGH TO RESEARCH ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND BULLETIN #PIP4112J AND HE CAN'T REALLY DO ANYTHING. I'VE BEEN EXPLAINED THAT DUE TO LARGE POWER FROM THE ENGINE, HE HAS SEEN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLES BREAK APART. I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SERVICE MANGER'S POSITION ON THIS BUT I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMEONE CAN SERIOUSLY GET HURT BY THIS. *KB
