When driving my truck the traction control comes on frequently when in motion. Sometimes it even completely doesn't move for a few seconds even when given gas then lurks forward, which frightens me because it has happened in the middle of an intersection which could possibly cause an accident. I've been reading up on this issue and it seems pretty common, this is alarming that a recall has not been put into effect! besides that my truck runs beautiful, what can I do? this is an ongoing thing.

While in motion my vehicle shuts completely off. This is in the middle of traffic at times. It displays warnings that stabilitrack has been disabled and shuits down everything electrical. At some points it doesnt shut completely down, but instead hesitates and then picks back up. This happens in various situations whether it be on the highway, turning, or driving city roads.

My vehicle was in motion driving on the freeway at 70 mph when all of the sudden my car lost power to 30 mph all the way down to 5 mph. I pressed on the accelerator trying to gain speed without success the car did not accelerate more than 30 mph, no matter how much I pressed on the accelerator. When I looked down at the dashboard I saw two warning lights go off "stability sys disabled" followed by "reduced engine power" luckily I was able to move to safety. The road was dry and no bumps to disable stability. The traction control in this vehicle is located far from my steering wheel so I know I did not accidently hit the traction control by accident. After I was able to pull over I was advised to hit the traction control button to see if that would fix the error in the dash. That did not work. I immediately took it to the dealer concern for my safety and that of my family. The dealer has had my for several days returned my car back once stating that it was due to master air flow sensor along with the air filter once those parts were replaced I picked up my car as soon as I picked up the car and drove it around the corner I experienced the same issue. I drove it back to the dealer at 5 mph as I was not able to go any faster no mater how much I pressed on the accelerator. 2nd time the car was returned to me I was told it was just the butterfly in the throttle body and that it was replaced for a new one. I was driving away and got just a little farther than the first time when I got the same error message again I drove it back to the dealer and they told me it was a faulty throttle body they replaced that but its still having issues. I believe this to be a safety hazard while driving I want this noted in case there is a major accident with fatalities.

Warning bells start chiming, 5. 3 engine with afm starts running rough, service traction control, service suspension system,abs lights come on. These symtoms occur within seconds of starting. Diagnostics says different things each time such as misfires, worn cam, etc. The engine only has 140k miles. There are numerous complaints on this engine. Gm did offer numerous customers replacement engines under 150k miles. I can't get the dealer to own up to this.

From the stopped position gas pedal goes dead at accelleration. This is super dangerous when moving onto a traffic situation. The vechicle stall and a gringding sound appears. This happen I ntermitently. GMC recalled outh GMC Yukons to correct this deffect but not mine. Please help.
Stabilitrack and traction control off. Warning light comes on when braking or moderate steering change. There are numerous complaints online of the same type of problem. Owners just spent $7000. 00 in repairs that did not fix the problem. Gm refuses to acknowledge the problem.
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!.

There is no warning code for the hydraulic brake booster when it starts to go bad that shows up on the abs/odb scanner. You will be driving and all of the sudden your steering gets stiff, the brake pedal is hard to press and you can't stop as good as your used to in the vehicle. This issue can cause accidents if someone stops suddenly in front of you.
Traction control is coming on when I take off from a complete stop causing the vehicle to lose speed. I was almost in an accident because of this!.
(takata recall) since I purchase the GMC Yukon I have experience a numerous engine-elec stability control-airbags-every two weeks. I need to add engine oil is a safety risk.
The service stabilitrak light comes on along with the check engine light causing the truck to shut off or not move. This has happened while am on the freeway, city street and stopped at a stop light. I have took my truck in for the same problem more then four times and same issue keeps happening.
The tail gate came down and almost clinch down on my head the tail gate is malfunctioning.
Component affected: stabilitrac module cause: a power short in the electrical wiring harness inside the steering wheel column caused the stabilitrac (stability control) module to malfunction. Unsafe condition: the steering wheel would turn a full 180 degrees on its own at idle/low speed. At higher speeds, the car would pull to the left or right. The "service stabilitrac" light would activate on the dash and message displayed "stabilitrac disabled". Remedy: the steering wheel wiring harness was repaired and the stabilitrac module was replaced by my GMC dealership in the summer of 2017, the issue has not occurred since.
Takata recall. . . Electrical is always messing up. Always fuel emmisions system light, which then messes up the radio that shuts off and on and gets warm, signals then do not click. The struts and shocks give me problems. I have spent a lot of money fixing one thing after another. This SUV is my means of transportation with my family of 8. I feel it is unsafe to be driving. The truck is affected with driving in a street, highway or making a turn.

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.
The car flashes reduced engine power, stabilitrack off and the car can barely go 30 mph. The engine runs very rough when it is doing this also. My code scanner displays code 641 which is open 5volt reference on bank 1. It does this more when the weather outside is warmer or the car has been sitting still while running. On more than one occasion it has happened while pulling out into traffic causing near misses and other times while driving down the highway. Just yesterday it did it 20 times in a four mile stretch. This car is no longer safe to drive.
I came out to a cracked dashboard this morning. The crack is right around the airbag and I'm concerned the cracked dash can either punture the airbag if deployed or send plastic peices flying at a high rate of speed.

Front brake calipers sticking causing premature wear out of pads and driver side rotor at ~11900 miles. After first repair, ~900 miles and three weeks later, while driving down a snow covered city hill abs was engaged for a short period of time and then dash displayed a "brake failure" warning. After the message the front brakes locked up completely, causing loss of control of the vehicle and induced a slide of over 1000ft down the hill. Once the vehicle finally came to a stop, a loud sound was coming from the under carriage. Powering down the vehicle did not stop the sound. Restart of the vehicle displayed "service stabilitrack" and "service trailer brake" warnings. The abs, traction control slippage, and brake lights also all stayed illuminated. Vehicle had to be towed to dealer as it was unsafe to drive. Upon inspection at GMC dealer they reported the electronic brake control module (ebcm) was shorted out internally and second front rotor was also scored. They replaced the ebcm and rotor under warranty. I¿m told the caliper sticking issue is common, and this is not the first ebcm they have replaced. In summary, damage to rotors and pads is very dangerous. As the vehicle only has ~12000 miles no one would expect this type of wear. The failure of the abs system nearly caused an accident that could have been fatal as the vehicle was descending a hill and at the very time the abs was needed it caused lock up of the font wheels inducing a slide and loss of ability to steer.

I bought this SUV from legends auto sale. After I bought it, I notice the engine bay was real rusty like its been in water or driven over lots of water. I didnt get a car fax at time of purchases but did car fax myself , and it appeared that vehicle is from new orleans. With all the dirt and grim coming out of vehicle its diffently from new orleans. So far I replaced new pads and rotors, master cylinder, brake switch, new spark plugs and wires. The problem occurring now is that my trac light and abs light will come on after half hour of driving and car seizes up and I'm unable to accelerate. I would have to shut off engine and let rest for half hour to an hour before lights goes away and I'm able to move again. I'm not sure but it might be due to it being in the flood thus causing corrosion and rusting in all parts of vehicle. I don't have documents on me at this time as I misplaced it but can get it again and upload image.
While driving my SUV on the freeway, the abs ,traction controll,brake lite on the instrument cluster started flashing and chiming. Service stability was flashing on the dic. The dealer said the abs module needs to be replaced. There is a loss of hvac controll ,no ac and ventillation or heating,loss of cruise control. Please advice.
My stabitity trac control lot popped on, check engine light, tire pressure light and now my low oil pressure light popped on saying stop engine.
The contact owns a 2003 GMC Yukon xl. While driving 35 mph, the stability control failed and the vehicle lost power. The stability control active warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact mentioned that there was also a grinding sound. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 195,633.
I could be driving on the expressway and the right of come on and stability traction disabled come home and cut my power they are to 10 miles an hour while I'm driving.

Instrument panel is going out, one instrument at a time. First showing low oil pressure, stabilitrak warning, check engine, now it is the rpm gauge that isn't showing anything. Also have a huge crack in the top of the dashboard that's been there for about 5-6 years. I've seen online complaints off this issue.
The stability control warning has come on several times on my vehicle. The brakes do not work, as you have to push all the way to the floor and sometimes it takes time before the vehicle stops. I have had brake lines repairs and the problem still is there. We cannot use vehicle until the issue is resolved. Our mechanic advised us to file a complaint on this issue because it is an active issue with GMC denali Yukon's for years. We need assistance to have this resolved to use our vehicle.
Stability control disabled comes on with engine power reduced. This happened as I as driving in the highway. Speed drastically reduced form 65 to 10 mph. I could have been killed. Gm is aware of this problem and will not act until there's a fatality because of this issue. This is criminal. Nhtsa has received numerous complaints regarding this issue and has not acted.
Takata recall. Recall issued in 2016 but as of 12/04/2017 there is still not a solution. I have an airbag indicator light currently on and am afraid that airbag will not inflate when needed or might inflate when not needed. Also, in unrelated issue the entire display on the dash has stopped working as well. I have searched web and I do see indications that there are active recalls for electrical however my dealer says there are not any electrical recalls for my vehicle.
Takata recall - I have been trying to get this repair for over a year. Not sure how to handle this as the dealer says they do not have any.
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.
My 2016 Yukon denali has a vibration problem, which I believe is caused by the magnetic ride control. The vibration does not speed up, nor slow down, depending on speed. It is, however, more noticeable when there is any road imperfection. The GMC service dept. Has balanced and rotated tires, even sent it to two other businesses to try and fix -- alignment, etc. Vibration continues. I've had passengers who ask "why does your car have the shivers?" gm dealer did get ahold of a GMC technician who flew in, and drove the car and said -- yes it has a vibration, but it is in acceptable parameters. My dealer has provided me 3 different rental cars while working to try and fix the "shivers" . . . All three were fairly new, small buicks, and all 3 rode better than this new $75,000 denali. I love the vehicle, hate the vibration. GMC itself has now told me -- your case is closed! the vibration is within acceptable limits. The dealer has let me drive two other Yukon denali's . . . Both have similar vibrations. . . Just not as bad as this vehicle. Vibration is noticeable at 25 mph, as well as at 80 mph; although it is more noticeable on rougher roads. I am happy to share the reports from my local gm dealer, who completely agrees that the car shimmies. We tried the GMC buyback program, and I was told by GMC that program is not available to me, even though I took the car back to the dealer when I had less than 100 miles on it. And have been taking it back regularly since.
The brakes on my07 Yukon work intermittently. When driving the truck first thing in the morning at speeds of 15mph to 20 mph brakes fail to engage and have had several close calls.
When the vehicle reaches 40-60 miles per hour a vibration occurs. . . Often sounds like a window is down and can cause nausea and headache. . .
When driving my 2007 GMC Yukon xl, the stabiltrak off light comes on as well as the engine light and the car loses power. Once this happens, the steering becomes difficult and braking is near impossible. It has happened several times now and most recently going down a steep hill with my three children in the car. I see there are several other complaints of this happening and feel this needs to be addressed by the manufacturer.
