2 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2015

I was driving on the expressway on 04/01/2015 when my vehicle suddenly lost power nearly causing a wreck. I pulled over and the reduced engine power error was illuminated. I turned off my truck and restarted it, I managed to make it home without other incident. The next day, it did it again while on the way to the shop. My mechanic narrowed the problem down to the accelerator sensor located on the gas pedal. It was replaced, but I was concerned about the throttle body as well. While doing research on this, I ran across a number of people with the same problem in newer vehicles. Why hasn't gm recalled this? do people have to get hurt first before anything is done?.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2012

I recently noticed that my spare tire was missing. I took it back to the sear auto center that has been servicing it. When they looked under the car they said that it was common for the Yukon spare tire cable to rust and snap off. So I lost the spare tire, spare wheel, and cable system to hold the spare under the vehicle. Not sure where or when it happened, but it was in the last 2 years. Just found out about this complaint service. Have also had to replace the brakes and rotors a number of times (an excessive amount), and have had to have the a/c unit repaired twice. The first time I was told that it had the wrong control head. Also, whenever I hit a bump I momentarily lose power steering.
