general problems of the 2019 GMC Yukon

Steering will all of a sudden feel disconnected. Feels like truck is sliding, till I move the wheel, then it feels connected again. Very weird feeling. This only seems to happen on the highway at highway speed. Witch is the part that worries me. This happens at least once every time on on the highway.

The steering gear box became disassemble, steering wheel when to twelve o'clock, gears in steering gear box jump gear insurance inspector said a bolt back out,there was 439 recall for steering box recall in 2019 the part number changed several times with multiple bullets for same part.

Last Friday evening, while driving the vehicle on the highway, the power steering suddenly stopped working. I heard a warning chime and saw an indicator "service power steering" message on my display. I managed to steer the vehicle into a parking lot to inspect the engine bay and fuses. When I restarted the engine, the power steering was functioning. The power steering failure has not reoccured since it initially happened. My vehicle is a 2019 year model. I noticed that gm has a recall for 2021 year models for this very same problem. I'm wondering if the recall shouldn't be expanded given my experience.

Multiple times upon starting my Yukon I get a message on the dash that states power steering disabled drive with care. I have no power steering until the computer has enough time to reset itself, usually about 15 min. This issue has been confirmed at our shop with the code being for the power steering. We have had it into the dealership and they found the same code but were unable to get it to recreate for them. It is not something that happens every day so I would have to leave it with them for a long period of time and that is not an option. This started happening within a couple weeks of buying the vehicle. It started for me in March 2020, with less than 17k miles on the truck.

Loss of power steering, loss of electronic stability control, loss of all transmission gears forward and reverse, loss of automatic headlight control, loss of instrument cluster gauges including tachometer, engine oil pressure, and engine coolant temperature, loss of heated seat functionality, loss of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and loss of infotainment/stereo system. This problem has occurred on two occasions now, the first on 01/13/2020 and then again on 02/20/2020. The vehicle was towed in to the dealer on 01/13/2020 and was also transported to the same dealership again on 02/20/2020. A TSB was performed by the dealership when it was towed in the first time that obviously did not fix the root cause of this problem. Normally the problem will go away after a period of time and then the dealership claims that they were not able to reproduce the customer's complaint. I do have video footage of the issues I experienced on two occasion as proof.

I was traveling straight on ohio turnpike with my family when all of a sudden the truck tires started to feel weird. I tried to slow down a little by pumping my breaks, but the wheel gave a sharp pull to the left for no reason. I was traveling approx 60-70 mph when I felt a strong pull to the left hand side and my seat started to vibrate. I couldn't control the steering and informed everyone in the vehicle at that time that we were going to crash. I am positive that this defect in the steering/breaking system resulted in a major accident. If that's not bad enough, my air bags never deployed and I was injured as a result of the mva. 7 passengers wearing seatbelts. Vehicle totaled. Damaged guard rail. Submitted a defect claim right away. I've driven suvs since I was issued my license and never once have I ever felt out of control. It was like slow motion. I knew I was going to crash and there was nothin g I could do to stop it. I have since been awarded the ohio state troopers award for seat belt safety. I've requested an inspection of the vehicle. Only after the accident had it been brought to my attention that the right tire had recently been replaced. Vehicle has since been recalled. I'm certain something malfunctioned and that's why we crashed. We drove from MA to mn at the end of August to attend the state fair, the accident occurred after leaving mn on our way back home to MA. Accident was witnessed. I was not cited or issued a ticket. Not my fault. Just need someone who specializes in defects to confirm my allegations. Included in police report as well as motor vehicle insurance claim.

Steering wheel surges during travel especially when turning at speeds.
