| Electronic Stability Control problems |
As we are driving down the interstate our Yukon loses all power, engine turns off, stability control message comes up, tire pressure sensor message comes up. We pulled over to the side of the road and try refiring the engine. It feels like the engine is about to jump out from under the hood. We turn it off and wait about 5 minutes. Start the engine back up after waiting and it drives ok, but engine light is on. This has happened to us twice in two days time.
At speed, my vehicle will randomly start jumping then all the electrical components start to turn on and off as if the vehicle was trying to turn off while driving. The stabillitrack light flashes and the door locks start locking and unlocking at a rapid pace. This is a safety issue! this is our family's primary vehicle in which my wife uses most of the time. She usually is accompanied by our 2 small children. When the issue arises, she looses some control of the vehicle. It is unsafe!.
2010 Yukon xl slt 4wd with 5. 3l v8 at 122,000 mi. The vehicle was in motion traveling at approximately 55 mph on highway. Check engine light illuminated, then check stabilitrack, then engine power reduced.
Twice my car has lost engine power. The first time the dealer repaired some wiring and most recently my car lost power in rush hour traffic in dallas (scary!) but I was able to get to the side of the road and had to have it towed to the dealer. The anti-lock brakes were also out due to this same problem, so the brakes did not fail but I had to pump them to work. The dealer now says I need to replace the throttle body, sensor and filter.
Traveling down the highway at 75 mph. All of the sudden the stabilitrak system light went on followed by the truck shuddering and shaking fairly violently followed by the reduced engine power light going on and a very quick reduction in speed to approximately 35-40 mph. Was able to pull over and tried to figure out what had just happened to a perfectly good running car. Attempted to reset the stabilitrak system using the gm manual page 5-6. No luck. Limped back onto the highway with a shaking truck with hazards on and made it to an exit . Went to gas station, turned off car again and filled with gas. Car was off for approximately 10 minutes while I ask for a gm dealership in town. Turned car on and the shaking had stopped and the power appeared to be normal. Went to gm. They hooked up to diagnostic machine . The code that came up was for a throttle position sensor replacement. Was covered under a special coverage adjustment, (12-6-2013) sent out to dealer service departments. Gm knows that this is a problem yet no one informed the drivers of these vehicles. My Yukon denalii xl was fixed . I am reporting this because I was put in a very dangerous position on the highway and high speeds. There is no doubt in my mind that without some good driving on my part and that of the 18 wheelers around me I could have caused an accident and injury. Once again gm knows this is a problem as stated in the #11273b special coverage adjustment- throttle position sensor replacement-December 16,2013. I would highly suggest that gm let car owners know so they can get the part replaced before killing or injuring themselves. I would not like my children or anyone else for that matter have this happen to them at any speed.
While driving the "reduced engine power" alert popped up and the engine had no power. The car started to jump. Along with the "reduced engine power" alert there was also a "stabilitrak indicator light" that also came on. We pulled over and shut the engine off waited a few minutes and restarted it. On Tuesday 10/12 the same thing happened again while driving. Thankfully, we were on our street and got it back to the driveway without any incidents.
Tl the contact owns a 2010 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that there were cracks in the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to mark christopher auto center (located at 2131 e convention center way, ontario, CA 91764) where it was determined that the 2010-14 models experienced the same failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 9-4939088368. In addition, while driving various speeds, the check engine, stabilitrak, and service traction control warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle also shook and lost power. The contact was able to coast the vehicle over to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted and was able to drive normally, but the failure recurred numerous times. The contact also stated that a squeaking noise and a burning odor were coming from the brake pedal. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that an unbalanced wheel was making the vehicle shake and the front driver's side wheel hub sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred five miles from the dealer. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 9-4965946886. The approximate failure mileage was 65,221.
On a snow and ice covered highway with heavy traffic while traveling at 65 mph, I suddenly got a "reducing engine power" message on the display followed by a "service stability control system" message. As my vehicle quickly lost power, to include power steering and power brakes, I was almost rear ended by another vehicle. After getting to the side of the road and turning the vehicle off then on again, I was able to drive another 2 miles; then this happened again and again a third time before getting to the dealer. I have read reports from other GMC Yukon drivers as far back as 2001 who have reported this exact same problem. Unfortuantely, GMC has done nothing to address this serious safety issue despite customer complaints. Unaddressed this safety issue is highly likely to cause personal injury or death as a result of a vehicle crash. A recall needs to be initiatied immediately!.
