general problems of the 2011 GMC Yukon

I am writing to express my concerns and frustrations regarding the recurring issues with my vehicle despite multiple service appointments at classic GMC arlington. Despite numerous attempts to address these problems, I continue to experience issues with continuity of service and performance fueling system and coolant system problems (twice in six months) stabilizer link light illumination during startup rpm acceleration while slowing down or stopping ticking sound from the engine. Each time I bring my vehicle in for service, I am told that there are no issues with the performance, idle, or spark plugs, despite having recently received a full service tune-up. I suspect that there may be intentional damage or tampering with my vehicle, which is causing these persistent problems. I have not had any prior issues or service lights illuminated before, and there were no incidents reported by the previous owners. I believe there may be fraudulent activity involving the manufacturer and service providers. Schedule a thorough inspection and diagnosis to address these recurring issues.

Keep getting traction control and stability issue warnings along with reduced engine power. Idles up and down and rough car was parked haven’t moved.

My 5th cylinder exploded. I had a p0305 code for 5th cylinder misfire, took into the dealership and they replaced the coil pack on that cylinder on 10/20/2020 and 01/17/2021 the 5th cylinder exploded cause chunks of metal to be thrown through the side and cause a catastrophic engine failure. It was stationary in a parking lot but I was just about to put the car in reverse to drive when I hear a noise and shut the car off. Upon further research there is currently a class action lawsuit against the gm for the high failure rate of 2010-2014 years for vehicles that used the 5. 3liter engines; the 6. 2 liter engine, the one in my vehicle, was manufactured in the same plant as the 5. 3 liter. Gm failed to disclose to the public of the known defect to the engines.

I have replaced the battery and alternator. My door locks keep locking and unlocking on the own while driving, all my electrical in my car dim and keep resetting, my gauges are going all over the place. My car will turn itself off. While stopped at a red light, it seems to want to go on its own. While not running, I get in to leave, and my key at times don’t want to turn over. Then at times I try to start it and it will tell me theft control and won’t crank. When I’m out of my vehicle at home, my car will lock itself when the setting is turned off. The problem has been going on for a year but only getting worse now.

Transmission dipstick tube breaks easily. Vechile was stationary.

Mutiple redistributing of vechicle by framed police retaliation and terriffs controling signal and cummunications through the negligent use of parts from my trucks build based off of sales men claiming to protect the financing departments and transfer of titles of incorporated deals dealers rights to investigating high caculatory variables.

Transmission defective @60,000 mile mark with initial sensation of getting bumped from behind when coming to a stop that the dealership routinely stated, "OH that's the way they allure". Dashboard disintegrating before my eyes with multiple plastic shards that will become deadly projectiles if ever in accident and who knows how bad it will get if air bags deploy.

The vehicle suddenly lost power and the stabili-trac system warning appeared in the dic, then the traction control system warning appeared in the dic, then engine power reduced by 16% in the dic. Drove vehicle to exit ramp and turned engine off. Vehicle restarted with only the check engine light on and no warnings in the dic. The engine did not however run smoothly. I took it to a dealer who clear some codes and replaced the tps. Checked all fuses. No further problem. However a friend has the same vehicle in a 2010 model. Same problem dealer replaced a throttle body. . Read more...

2011 2-wd Yukon xl 1500 engine stall. Took delivery 7/1/2011. On 7/5/2011, while driving at city speeds, engine stalled (shut off), was able to restart. This happened twice consequively. Did not experience again until 7/14/2011. This time was driving in center lane, 5 lane freeway, during rush hour at posted 65 mph speed. Again, engine stalled (shut down). During 3 cycles of of stall/shut down/restart, was able to make my way to right lane, drive/coast to exit ramp, exit freeway and enter a retail parking lot without an accident. During process, heard a pop/click to my left in the dashboard. Turned off air conditioner, restarted truck and made my way home. During this drive home, the alternator/voltage gauge needle bounced to extreme right for a short period of time, then settled back closer to center. Prior to incident, I had noticed same needle occasionally/oddly slight to the left. Truck was towed to selling dealership that evening. The following day, the service department ran full diagnostics and reported "nothing wrong with the vehicle/operating normally". There are no "codes" or any "history codes" showing anything abnormal occured with the vehicle. 7/18/2011 opened case file with gm, but little assistance has been offered by them other than "we called the dealership". Truck has been housed at the dealership now for 11 days. We are at a stalemate. Our position is the car is not safe to drive. Dealership/gm's position is they can find nothing wrong with the vehicle. They have suggested we pick up the vehicle and drive it until the problem occurs again then again have it towed to the dealership. Our response if we agree to do that, and are lucky enough to again "survive" the occurence without being involved in an accident, why do they/we believe they will be able to diagnose and repair the problem? we are waiting for someone/anyone to involve the factory for further technical assistance to resolve this problem.
