Accelerator Pedal Problems of GMC Yukon

The contact owns a 2016 GMC Yukon xl. The contact stated that while stopped at a red light and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle jerked and jumped forward. There was a loud sound coming from the engine. The accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to accelerate above 5 mph. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road. After several attempts, the vehicle restarted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was a misfire on the lifter in cylinder #1 and #7. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the warranty coverage was declined. The manufacturer was contacted and declined a buyback. No assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 96,891.

The gas pedal sticks all the time as does the brake pedal. This has happened numerous times.

We are affected by the recent recall concerning the wiring harness for the fuel sending unit and are waiting for the new harness parts to arrive. However, about the same time we began having trouble with that, we also began to have problems with a sticking accelerator. After starting and placing the vehicle in gear, the throttle sticks and is obviously a mechanical problem rather than a lubrication issue. Once the vehicle begins to roll, the problem goes away. We ahev lived with this for some time and have recently driven two other GMC products (2001 GMC 1500 Yukon xl and a 2001 chevy 1500 pickup), they too had the same problem. I am quite certain this is going to become a recall event due to the fact that with the sticking of the accelerator, the vehicle often lurches forward after enough pressure has been exerted. Please let me know what the status of this problem is. Thank you, don titus 817-705-1064.

Passenger and both rear seat power windows quite working at the same time. This could possibly be a danger in case of an accident. I have found numerous complaints of this problem on 2000 Yukons. Throttle pedal sticks and you have to use excessive pressure to unstick it. This causes you to move forward or backward at a high rate of speed. This is an accident waiting to happen as you start off or are in a busy parking lot. Could cause injury to pedesterian or small child. I have also seen numerous complaints of this problem filed on 2000 Yukons. Passenger seat belt tightens as you ride to the point of causing pain, you must disengage seat belt and rengage to correct problem. This is also is a danger as you could be unbelted when an accident happens. I also have seen numerous complaints on this problem. There have been service bullentins on these problems, but gm refuses to pay the repair cost on our vehicle. They have been aware of these problems since these vehicles were in warranty. I purchased a 1996 Yukon new and had it until trading for this 2000 Yukon, I never had a complaint. Their quality assurance has sure gone down hill since 1996.

Problems with 2001 denali xl/ SUV died and there was loss of brakes, steering and acceleration. Vehicle was at idle when it died the first time. Dealership couldn't diagnose the problem but knew it had to do with the fuse. Consumer was given fuses but they all failed within 50 miles. Vehicle returned to the dealership. It was diagnosed and the electronic throttle control module was replaced. Third failure occurred while traveling 65 mph on a highway when the brakes, steering and acceleration failed. The consumers escaped unharmed. They requested an investigation and recall on the vehicle.
