general problems of the 2004 GMC Yukon

The contact owns a 2004 GMC Yukon denali. The contact stated that the traction control system would engage when accelerating from a complete stop, causing the vehicle to become disabled for several seconds. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that they were aware of the failure and that there was not a recall for the failure. He also advised that they would replace the throttle body assembly. The manufacturer was not notified. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 130,000.

While driving on interstate traction control lite came on in dash then power to SUV was lost then electronic message read out stated "stability control disabled " then " reduced engine speed" message appeared. I was able to pull off interstate but nearly got rearended hit by semi. Engine would run only at idle speed. After shutting off vehicle and waiting minute or two then restarting it ran fine. This has happened numerous times since then. Speeds vary 70,55,40 mph it doesn't matter. After calling different GMC dealers about problem they act like this is something they never heard of. "bull**** !!!!. Its the same problem numerous GMC owners are facing on the internet. GMC customers have spent thousands of dollars with no problems solved. All they want to do is hook you up to electronic machine and overcharge you for the same thing autozone ,etc. Businesses will do for free. I don't have thousands of dollars for them to be parts replacers . GMC should know the exact part to fix this problem. Someone or family is going to get hurt badly if GMC doesn't fix this problem they know they have.

The vehicles traction control system engages when pulling out from a stopped positon causing the vehichle to be disbled for several seconds. Also the abs brake activate on dry road under light braking. Both conditions result in a very dangerous situation when attempting to negotiate an intersection.

I recently had my vehicle in my service dept. For an on-going problem of which heritage GMC could not repair. From a standstill, when I would accelerate, the vehicle would lose power and not move after about 20 feet or so and a ?traction active? message would appear on the display. This was a very serious safety concern as the vehicle would end up in the middle of the road with loss of power and cars behind me will almost re end my car. It is an intermittent happening 6 or more time daily, would happen when I would drive from a stop sign or red light. To regain power, you had to let off on the gas peddle and the drive would re-engage. We have been dealing with this for a while and all the gm vehicles run this type of sensor combo on all the wheels telling the computer when to apply brakes or power to the wheels, these get dirty from road salt in upper states and gm will only address 2002 cars, but the 2002-2005 look all alike, this also applies to regular cars, after doing a search there are alot of people having my same problem, this is as safety hazard and is going to cause a fatality. . . . . . .

2004 GMC Yukon xl denali system stabilization disabled warning light intermittently comes on. The dealer cannot repair this issue because there are no diagnostic codes in the car computer. I have taken the truck to the dealership with the warning light on, but still no error codes. After several trips to the service shop and it still is coming on. To date there have been no accidents nor injuries, I have lost confidence in the vehicle as I was told the stabilization system was mandated by the government and it must be operational. What recourse do I have to insure the truck is safe? why can't they replace computer modules until there is a resolution? the truck did not do this for the first five years I owned it, driving the same exact roads that the warning flashes on now.

Truck had a fault code flash on dash truck did not increase speed as pulling out onto a highway. Truck was hit on side of door. This has happened after a rear air ride code flashes. This is the 5th time in two weeks.

Vehicle is a 2004 GMC Yukon xl1500. While accelerating from a full stop and while driving at low speeds, the abs system engages unexpectedly, and the digital display warning "traction active" is given. The problem was initially random, however it occurs almost every time now. The problem presents a safety concern when other vehicles are around, as the sudden slowing of the vehicle, due to the abs engagement, followed by a lurch forward after the abs releases could cause vehicle collisions.

The abs traction control on my 2004 Yukon denali activates on dry roads and nearly caused a serious accident. While pulling out onto the road, the traction control kicked in and cut power to the truck. I couldn't accelerate and was almost hit by oncoming traffic.
