general problems of the 2007 GMC Yukon - part 1

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon denali xl. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the service stabili-trak and traction control warning lights illuminated. The contact then stated that an independent mechanic had previously replaced the brake sensor, fuses, solenoids, and several other unknown parts; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 230,000.

While driving the stabilitrak off light flashed on the dashboard, including the traction control off. This has shut down my car on the highway 4 times. Oddly, when I took it to the dealership, it would reset itself and the codes would go away temporarily. The dealership recommended to change the engine control module and cables, which I did on 7/17/20 and 7/31/20. However, on my last trip I had to get towed back to my home on 09/01/20 for the same reason as I was stranded on a highway on the way to a funeral for a family friend. This is so dangerous. I can't let my wife or kids use the vehicle because this happens so randomly. The repair shop says that it is a mystery to them as they have called their GMC specialty technicians for advice. My car is currently at the dealership again for the past two weeks as they try to find a solution. I just bought this car 3 months ago and this is upsetting. I finally went online to see if I could possible find a fix to recommend and found that this is a known issue I found similar stories on this website "car forums/ GMC/ GMC envoy xl" . I am surprised this not a recall. I have paid over $1,500 in repairs. Changed sensors on tires that suspect weren't the issue since the indicator light still comes on. I work for state farm insurance and I am aware of the dangers of having hazardous cars on the road. I also work closely with the institutes of highway saftey and they recommended that I log this complaint. Here is my email address and phone number. 434-466-4926 dwjosh18@gmail. Com. How can I get this logged as a recall and get my money back for repairs or the price of the vehicle, if GMC can't guarantee a repair? I have attached the cable and engine control module repair invoices that verify the complaint. I have pictures and videos of the indicator lights flashing and the car shutting off.

When opening the hatch or back of the vehicle, the lights will go on and off and the vehicle will not start up. You have to wait for 5 minutes sometimes longer for the engine to restart. The vehicle will be in stationary, I have to turn the vehicle off if I am going to open the back if I don't it messes up all the gages in front and will not operate.

Happened two times yesterday. 2007 Yukon denali odometer: 191,707 engine hours: 1443. 9 first, stabilitrak control turned off and engine power was reduced illuminated on the message center of the dash board. Car would not accelerate above 20 mph. When I would try to push the gas petal there would be a shutter in the rear of the vehicle. I was able to put the car in park, turn it off and tried restarting. Same issues continued. I limped to my work a less than a mile away to try and figure out what was happening as I had myself and 4 kids in the car after trick or treating. I shut off the car and waited for a bit while I read online what was causing this. Upon restarting the car, it started working again as normal. Safety risk when you can't accelerate past 20 mph on a 45 mile per hour road. Second occurance was a few hours later. I turned the car on to leave and the same things happened, this time it was driving like I had lost my power steering and no engine power. Luckily, again, I was in a spot to pull off to the side, turn the car off and made it home okay. This car has a brand new engine. Upon reading here and some other things online it seems the stabilitrak has numberous reports of this same thing. Luckily I have been in a spot where it didn't become dangerous and I knew what to do based on reading here. I use my Yukon for work so can't have this happening and it's dangerous for myself, my kids and other drivers on the road if they happen to be behind me when it happens. Hopefully with enough complaints something can be done to fix this issue. I have included a pic of the symbol that illuminated on my dashboard when this happened.

Was driving and stabilization got turned turned off. The engine power got reduced. Decreasing the car's power dramatically then eventually not drivable. This is very very dangerous because was driving on the freeway. I was fortunate enough to make a smooth lane change to the side to stop the car. But if I couldn't and there was a lot of cars, this would of caused a massive accident. I feel from my research, GMC should be responsible and fix this! very angry because it had happened twice now!!!.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon xl. While driving 35 mph, the steering wheel seized and the stabilitrak warning indicator illuminated. The contact first experienced the failure two years ago and took the vehicle to braeger Chevrolet (4100 s 27th st, milwaukee, WI 53221). The dealer replaced the spark plugs, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired for the recent failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 185,000.

I brought this SUV in Nov 2017 and went to chicago to see my mom and kids and the stabilitrak control kick and made the truck not go pass 30 mph making the trans kick in I went to the dealer and they said it the pressure swtch and the truck only have 140. 000.

Warning bells start chiming, 5. 3 engine with afm starts running rough, service traction control, service suspension system,abs lights come on. These symtoms occur within seconds of starting. Diagnostics says different things each time such as misfires, worn cam, etc. The engine only has 140k miles. There are numerous complaints on this engine. Gm did offer numerous customers replacement engines under 150k miles. I can't get the dealer to own up to this.

Stabilitrack and traction control off. Warning light comes on when braking or moderate steering change. There are numerous complaints online of the same type of problem. Owners just spent $7000. 00 in repairs that did not fix the problem. Gm refuses to acknowledge the problem.

(takata recall) since I purchase the GMC Yukon I have experience a numerous engine-elec stability control-airbags-every two weeks. I need to add engine oil is a safety risk.

The service stabilitrak light comes on along with the check engine light causing the truck to shut off or not move. This has happened while am on the freeway, city street and stopped at a stop light. I have took my truck in for the same problem more then four times and same issue keeps happening.

The tail gate came down and almost clinch down on my head the tail gate is malfunctioning.

My stabitity trac control lot popped on, check engine light, tire pressure light and now my low oil pressure light popped on saying stop engine.

Instrument panel is going out, one instrument at a time. First showing low oil pressure, stabilitrak warning, check engine, now it is the rpm gauge that isn't showing anything. Also have a huge crack in the top of the dashboard that's been there for about 5-6 years. I've seen online complaints off this issue.

Takata recall. Recall issued in 2016 but as of 12/04/2017 there is still not a solution. I have an airbag indicator light currently on and am afraid that airbag will not inflate when needed or might inflate when not needed. Also, in unrelated issue the entire display on the dash has stopped working as well. I have searched web and I do see indications that there are active recalls for electrical however my dealer says there are not any electrical recalls for my vehicle.

The brakes on my07 Yukon work intermittently. When driving the truck first thing in the morning at speeds of 15mph to 20 mph brakes fail to engage and have had several close calls.

When driving my 2007 GMC Yukon xl, the stabiltrak off light comes on as well as the engine light and the car loses power. Once this happens, the steering becomes difficult and braking is near impossible. It has happened several times now and most recently going down a steep hill with my three children in the car. I see there are several other complaints of this happening and feel this needs to be addressed by the manufacturer.

"takata recall" while braking the SUV jerks while applying the brakes. New rotors and brakes installed and the problem still continues.

Stab, abs light and engine lights either going on one at a time or simultaneously. Car wouldn't start & when it did all of the dashboard gauges were at "zero" car seemed off but drive-able--gas, mph, rpm, gas/oil gauges remained at zero while driving. Later that day when car was restarted-the gauges were at normal readings. Stabiltrack light keeps going on & off. Electrical doesn't work well, almost every power door has failed & actuator has been replaced, rear back hatch door will not open & we have no access to our cargo/trunk area. Keyless entry works occasionally. Interior and exterior chrome handles have sharp edges.

I was driving down the highway going about 65 mph & then a message appeared on my dash that states check stabilitrak/traction control off. I then braked to pull over & the truck began to shake as if the suspension & brakes were being affected. While I was driving this error message would appear & then go off & continued to do this for 3-4 hours while I was driving.

While driving on surface streets, the yellow abs warning came on, "stabilitrack" light came on. The warning lights started dinging, the transmission slammed between gears, the lights came and went and the door locks were going up and down continuously. Lost power also, pulled off and shot off engine. Truck would not restart as electrical system was dead. Same thing happened 10k miles earlier. This has happened 2times and the car only has 53,000 miles. Repairs took over 10 days as the engine was not communicating with the car. Replaced engine control module.

My wife and I had just purchased a used 2007 GMC Yukon. Little did we know about the major issue the truck has with the reduced power reading that comes up. I really think that GMC needs to put out a recall for these issues. My wife was on her way home from a work meeting and driving on the freeway with her sister and my wife's and my daughter in the GMC Yukon and she was doing the speed limit and all of a sudden she didn't know what was going on. She called me and she was in a panic. She had to pull off the freeway and come to a complete stop and when she did the vehicle had died it turned off and she had our 2 month old daughter with out a/c and in 100 degree weather. This issue puts the people's families at risk that own these vehicles and also other drivers families at risk you can not replace a persons life if its taken away and the hardship it causes but you can replace a vehicle so why not come up with solution so the road may become a little bit of a safer place. When my wife had this happen other drivers were not courteous or understanding when someone puts their hazard lights on that something is wrong, they just kept flying past her. Now with several people having this same issue with the same gm make this issue should be resolved. I have looked up and saw chevy doesn't have this issue and chevy is the same company. If the national highway traffic safety association could create this recall and they could use the same part from chevy then surely this issue would be fixed and it would be a safer vehicle. If you were a company owner wouldn't you want to stand by your companies production and create solutions if there were these common issues? wouldn't you want to help make the road a safer place by one little fix? it wouldn't.

Stabilitrac and traction control service is on screen. Car makes loud noise when starting. Not all the time. Turning off engine and restarting fixes problem but service lights stay on. . I've heard many reports about this issue. Why isn't there a recall. Are we waiting for an accident?.

While driving today at a speed of 55 mph in somewhat heavy traffic my service traction control and stabilitrack indicator came on as well as a message on the dash saying the same. At which time my vehicle came to slow down and I lost power. I pulled over and and shut the car down and upon restart noticed that not only did white smoke come from my exhaust but the car had a rough idle the same indicators were still on and the engine light had now come on as well and was flashing. I was able to make it home with a rough limp however when I came to a stop felt as though the car was hesitant to keep running or take off. When applying gas there was a thump from the rear wheels like the transmission was not sure how to engage.

I will be driving and my truck will just lose power. I push on the gas pedal and it goes no where. I have to coast off the highway and then I can stop and turn it off for a few minutes then start it back up with the check engine light on. I have changed the tps 2 times, the entire throttle body, and the mass air flow sensor and it's still doing it.

While my wife was driving on the interstate highway at 55mph, the SUV check engine light came on, followed by a traction control warning on the display, then the vehicle went into "limp mode", reducing power and speed to approx 20 mph. She turned on the hazards, and moved into the right lane as other vehicles went around her at the posted speed limit as the engine was bucking and missing. She exited the highway and limped the truck, barely getting up to 20 mph to a service shop. They scanned the codes, the only one there directed them to change the throttle body, ($580). The vehicle ran good for 3 days, then all the same bells and whistles came back. GMC service said they have no knowledge of a problem. Upon researching this online, I found it's far from uncommon. If this has not caused an accident yet, its only a matter of time. .

2007 GMC Yukon denali. As I was driving. . . Engine light came on, following with vehicle stability control, traction control disable then reduced engine power and it wont let me drive more then 20 mph. Took it the dealer, replaced terminal wires, replaced bcm module ($1100). Two days later same lights comes back on dashboard. . . Took it to the dealer and they told me I need throttle body replaced ($631). Then even more issues came, as you stopping for the stop light, but the truck jerking forward while foot on break and as stopping it makes a thud noise when slowing down. Contact gm said they'll be able to help me out but then they decline for any help and simply told me there is nothing they can do. Now dealer is telling me I need breaks, ball joints, up control arms, shocks. Truck has under less then 100k miles and most of these should last more then 100k. Even dealer admitted by saying ive never seen Yukon denali going back. Its a saftely issue. My wife will not drive this truck any more with 3 kids in it and now it just sits in my garage while making payments to this truck. Its ridiculous! im sure there are someone out there that can help us and others who are going through the same issure before gm get a lawsuit and have blook on their hands.

As I was driving 'oil pressure is low, cut the engine off' warning came on and the oil light was on. That also triggered the traction control/stabilitrak light to come on. From then on whenever I drive the vehicle those lights come on as well as the check engine light. This is apparently a common problem with the GMC 2007 engine. There are multiple forms from chevy, Cadillac, and GMC where consumers that have these engines are experiencing this problem. When we take it to dealerships we are told to change the engine. I was just quoted over $8000 to change this engine. I can't even sell this truck without losing my shirt. We need help out here. Gm knows that this is a problem because the dealerships know. They are sweeping this under the rug until some people die because of it!.

This has now happened several times since, at no particular speed. I will be driving and all of a sudden the stabilitrak lights and traction control lights come on, and the engine begins to run very hard and will not accelerate very quickly and cannot reach full capacity. This is somewhat scary as it has happened on the highway several times, as well as just driving around my residential area, always with my kids in the car. Usually once I turn the car off and leave it for a little bit, then restart it, the lights are off except the engine light will stay on. It seems to me that many people are having the same issue with this model and that GMC should be taking this safety concern very seriously as not being able to accelerate on the freeway is definitely a huge safety issue.

My husband was driving and the tracking and stabilization light came on. The truck turn off in mid traffic. It did start back up and we to ok it to GMC dealer. They have had it since. The dealer still has the truck and has fixed three different things and my bill is increasing, but they have failed to find the problem. This is a danger to myself, my husband and our two children. I have called gm and they are pretty much like stay in contact with dealer.

Driving through town when the car started slamming into gear. Right before, the abs warning light came on and the dash said "stabilitrack disengaged". Car started beeping and lost power. When I was able, pulled over and shut down car. It would not start. Towed it to the dealer and they had difficulty diagnosing. Ultimately replace ip junction box and fp gateway. Same thing happened again 10,000 miles later.

Tl - the contact owns a 2007 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the service stable trak, service traction control, and abs warning lights were illuminating. The contact mentioned that the passenger side tail light continuously burned out. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the cruise control system was malfunctioning. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 82,000. Bt.

Having alot of issues with traction control light coming on and off causing my truck to either shut off/stall or just not turn on than the check engine came on arggg. I took to dealers was told its my throttle sensor got it replaced $$750. 00 ughh then it happened again and then when I try and turn it on again it will flash traction light on and off so I turn it off then turn it on and it goes away, later comes on then off random times I checked this site since I seen news and seen other people having the same issue. And my cruise control wont kick in also my front dash has cracked on top of the odometer and it does make me worry if I ever get into an accident will the dash shatter completely?? other then that I love this truck really I do !! however dear gm stop being stingy and pay for your mistakes!.

2007 Yukon xl - traction control came on causing a reduction in power while traveling. This is a safety concern that should be addressed by general motors. This is a very serious safety issue that needs to be looked into, before somebody gets hurt or killed. Gm needs to recall their products that are involved.

GMC is currently admiting to faulty ingnition switch failure. When I purchased my vehicle three years ago every year this has been an ongoing issue filed a complaint last year in 2013 never heard back from dealership. Dealership has been fixing issue but not taken care of it properly. Looked at recall list but the 2007 GMC Yukon was not included. Can you please advise?.
