Yo hiba manejando como a 25 millas en la ciudad y cuando y cuando fui hacer un u turn el steering wheel dejo DE trabajar. Se puso duro y solo se mueve si lo manejo pero no puedo parquiarme porque esta muy duro el steering wheel . Lo lleve a un electronico y me dijeron que la computadora no le da el code. Y el mechanico solo me dice que ES mejor cambiar el rock pinion electric pero no encuentro la piesa en ningun lado. . .

4 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/07/2016

I had been rear ended, my daughter took my 2010 Yukon to the local dealer (findlay) on may 12, 2016, she was told accident didn't cause the problem and would need the tire sensor checked at a cost of $500. 00. Yesterday (June 8, 2016) coming home from work, I was turning off the main highway onto a residential street (riverview) as I made the turn the cars abs brake sensor light went off and so did the light as though I on was on ice, but I was on a paved road and speed was low maybe 10 mph, it went off almost as quickly as it came on. So I proceeded, stop at a 4 way stop sign (riverview and lakeside), when I proceeded on all the door locks started going off and the power and transmission would not engage. I traveled approximately 500 feet before the car engaged and started running. I am trying to find out if this is a common problem and if so are there any resolutions and is anyone else having this problem. In a week I need to travel 200 miles to a doctor and I'm concerned that this is major.

Dash has split at corner of air bag on passenger side of dash. This appears to be a common defect with gm vehicles. Gm doesn't admit any fault even though this is a common defect.

6 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2014

We have owned the car since sept. 2013. On more than 15 occasions it feels like the transmission does not engage the next gear. When it misses the next gear while driving the rpms shoot way up, nose of the car dips, we decelerate or coast, and occupants get jerked and thrusted forward triggering the seatbelt to harness you in place. This has happened on most of the occasions. At times when I am pulling out of a parking spot in reverse the transmission does not engage. Normally when vehicles are put into gear you can feel the car it, not on these instances. I would shift the car in gear but not feel it actually get into gear, press the pedal and watch/feel the rpms increase, and the vehicle does nothing - stays in the same place. Accelerating on a green-light is another situation where the vehicle has missed the next gear. Similar to the driving description above, only this is from a dead stop. The car will move forward then try to shift into 2nd gear and miss. Again the nose dives, rpm's shoot way up, we are jolted into our seatbelts. I guess that it's the transmission but I am not a car guy at all, supposedly the 2 dealerships (even longer story) that I took the vehicle to rebuilt it (twice) under warranty. The vehicle has been in the shop at least 4 times for long periods, weeks each time, due to whatever the issue is. Each time they say they have fixed the problem and that they are sorry that they didn't fix it the previous time. It had been a months since it happened last, until 2 weeks ago while on my way to work doing about 10mph exiting a round-a-bout. I only heard about this site today (3/19/15) on the news so I am reporting as soon as I heard. I did get video of some of the problems and showed it the dealers (unimpressed), only problem is they could not get the car to miss gears, jerk, jolt, or nose dive while in their possession to experience it happen.
