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.
Rear bucket seat (drivers side) caught fire. Fire attributed to seat heater failure by each the 1) fire marshal, 2) GMC dealer and 3) geico. Car was unoccupied, parked for approximately 2 hours before returning to open car and find car seat on fire. Car seat was not used by any passengers for at least a week prior to the fire. There were only two passengers using the car during an out-of-town trip when the fire occurred on fourth day. Thus, car seat heater some how turned itself on, remained on, overheated, and caught seat cushion material on fire. Luckily, car was parked turned off completely (except for seat heater!), locked and unoccupied. Further, fire was discovered before spreading, engulfing car and endangering others in the busy school parking lot. Had the seat caught fire while someone was actually sitting in the seat and/or the car was traveling at highway speeds, this failure would have resulted in injuries and possible fatalities. Seat heaters should never risk causing fires and need to be investigated.
When driving the speedometer would get stuck. Then go back to normal. This happened for about two months then it all stoped wprking all the gages are now not working.

I have a 2004 GMC Yukon xl at the time I noticed the damage to the rear hatchback window, the truck only had 45,000 miles on it at the time,the extent of the damage is the hinges has broken away from the glass which I truly believe is a design flaw. I have taken a strap and tied the glass down to prevent it from falling out on the interstate,causing damage or injury to another vehicle,the glass itself has not been broken or damage but it is the hinges which has seperated from the glass.
