general problems of the 2006 GMC Yukon

The brake lines are not coded so the brake line rusted and when brakes got applied they burst causing accidents for no pressure and can’t stop. Air bags light stays on and will not go out. I have put new lights bulbs in truck but lights are still dim.

While driving my SUV on the freeway, the abs ,traction controll,brake lite on the instrument cluster started flashing and chiming. Service stability was flashing on the dic. The dealer said the abs module needs to be replaced. There is a loss of hvac controll ,no ac and ventillation or heating,loss of cruise control. Please advice.

The contact owns a 2006 GMC Yukon denali xl 2500. The contact was driving 65 mph when the abs warning indicator lamp illuminated. The vehicle was taken for repair where the contact learned that the electronic brake control module was discontinued. The vehicle was not diagnosed and the manufacturer was made aware of the potential issue. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Going approximately 5-10 mph on a side street the engine surged when brakes were applied and the brakes did not work. Had to put the truck in park to stop. SUV was immediately towed to dealership. Dealership reports no computer record of incident nor problem with the engine or brakes over a period of a week of testing. ## VIN passed ## GMC, Yukon denali, 2006 ##.

I have constantly had to replace my back brakes and rotors due to a insufficient aluminum disc that GMC installed I have receipts to prove how many back brakes in rotors I have had to replace. Thank god I was on the left side of the highway my six children and I almost lost are life the brakes went out we had to veer off into the terrain just to come to a stop in the mean time my tire popped from all the excitement and me and my kids was stuck on a major highway for 6 hours before we was towed in brought to safety. I am asking for this disc problem be repaired immediately for my family safety.

The first time this happened I was driving at approx. 45 mph on secondary road when all lights dimmed and the vehicle power went down to almost nothing. The power steering and brakes went out and I had to pull off of the highway. I turned the ignition off and waited a few minutes, then re-started which seemed to have re-set things. It ran ok to my destination. But since then (a year or so) it bogs down when starting out from idle such as a traffic light, and the lights dim. At the same time, it makes a grinding sound as if from the brakes and the brake peddle becomes stiff as though it is trying to offset my braking. When this happens the stability indicator states "traction active". Once the vehicle is moving again, it will go off and the vehicle will act normally. I discovered that manually over-riding the traction (shutting it off), it eliminates the hesitation. But it still makes the grinding/groaning sound along with the brake issue. Once is gets up to speed, everything is fine. All of this is just on starting out after a stop. We have heard others that have the same problem, but have not been able to get it resolved. It appears to be a common problem, but no recalls have been issues to my knowledge. It is a real danger when trying to start onto a highway or intersection.

While accelerating from a complete stop the the vehicle goes into traction control for no reason stalling in the middle of the intersection. The display flashes traction active even though the pavement is dry and free of loose debris. You have to let the accelerator go and re-accelerate to deactivate the traction control, leaving you stalled in the middle of the intersection. Gm had a recall for large suvs and pick-ups with a very similar problem, the only differance was the display flashed an abs fault but the repair for that recall was exactly the same as for the traction active fault. Abs is part of the traction control system, so just because gm found a way to throw a different code for the exact same problem they're not obligated to take care of this potentially very dangerous problem that leaves you in no control of your vehicle in the middle of an intersection while moving from a stop light or stop sign. Please look into this before somebody gets hurt or dead from getting t-boned because they can't get out the way.
