Failure Date: 09/25/2012

While driving on interstate traction control lite came on in dash then power to SUV was lost then electronic message read out stated "stability control disabled " then " reduced engine speed" message appeared. I was able to pull off interstate but nearly got rearended hit by semi. Engine would run only at idle speed. After shutting off vehicle and waiting minute or two then restarting it ran fine. This has happened numerous times since then. Speeds vary 70,55,40 mph it doesn't matter. After calling different GMC dealers about problem they act like this is something they never heard of. "bull**** !!!!. Its the same problem numerous GMC owners are facing on the internet. GMC customers have spent thousands of dollars with no problems solved. All they want to do is hook you up to electronic machine and overcharge you for the same thing autozone ,etc. Businesses will do for free. I don't have thousands of dollars for them to be parts replacers . GMC should know the exact part to fix this problem. Someone or family is going to get hurt badly if GMC doesn't fix this problem they know they have.

For the last 2 years I've had a problem with the stability control / reduced engine power. The problem can occur anytime while driving or even after it has been sitting. I must stop the vehicle and turn it off several times for it to reset before I can continue. I've had the vehicle in the shop for repairs at the dealer, they can't seem to fix the problem.

11 Traction Control System problem of the 2004 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 11/28/2010

I recently had my vehicle in my service dept. For an on-going problem of which heritage GMC could not repair. From a standstill, when I would accelerate, the vehicle would lose power and not move after about 20 feet or so and a ?traction active? message would appear on the display. This was a very serious safety concern as the vehicle would end up in the middle of the road with loss of power and cars behind me will almost re end my car. It is an intermittent happening 6 or more time daily, would happen when I would drive from a stop sign or red light. To regain power, you had to let off on the gas peddle and the drive would re-engage. We have been dealing with this for a while and all the gm vehicles run this type of sensor combo on all the wheels telling the computer when to apply brakes or power to the wheels, these get dirty from road salt in upper states and gm will only address 2002 cars, but the 2002-2005 look all alike, this also applies to regular cars, after doing a search there are alot of people having my same problem, this is as safety hazard and is going to cause a fatality. . . . . . .

12 Traction Control System problem of the 2004 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 10/09/2010

2004 GMC Yukon xl denali system stabilization disabled warning light intermittently comes on. The dealer cannot repair this issue because there are no diagnostic codes in the car computer. I have taken the truck to the dealership with the warning light on, but still no error codes. After several trips to the service shop and it still is coming on. To date there have been no accidents nor injuries, I have lost confidence in the vehicle as I was told the stabilization system was mandated by the government and it must be operational. What recourse do I have to insure the truck is safe? why can't they replace computer modules until there is a resolution? the truck did not do this for the first five years I owned it, driving the same exact roads that the warning flashes on now.

14 Traction Control System problem of the 2004 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 08/10/2010

15 Traction Control System problem of the 2004 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 05/10/2010

Vehicle is a 2004 GMC Yukon xl1500. While accelerating from a full stop and while driving at low speeds, the abs system engages unexpectedly, and the digital display warning "traction active" is given. The problem was initially random, however it occurs almost every time now. The problem presents a safety concern when other vehicles are around, as the sudden slowing of the vehicle, due to the abs engagement, followed by a lurch forward after the abs releases could cause vehicle collisions.

16 Traction Control System problem of the 2001 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 02/17/2010

The anti-lock brakes engages at low speeds every time I stop. This could cause front end collision because the vehicle does not completely stop when braking and I do not have control. Gm would not fix the issue on my vehicle due to high mileage even though mileage was not a factor. Other Yukon vehicles were included in the recall but my VIN for some reason was not included.

17 Traction Control System problem of the 2006 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 01/11/2010

Intermittently, when my 2006 GMC Yukon denali xl is at a stop light or sign and I am driving less than 10mph and I go to accelerate (not spinning the tires and not on wet or slippery surfaces) the "traction active" message displays and I lose all power for a couple of seconds. This many times has left me in the middle of an intersection with on-coming traffic. I have googled this traction active and there are many articles from other Yukon owners stating they have the exact same issue that I am having. I printed off 9 pages and took to my dealer/service department (simmons rockwell in bath, NY) and after looking at the vehicle, they said there was nothing wrong with it. I even supplied them with an abs recall document id # 1819672 of which the subject is product safety front wheel speed sensor corrosion #05068b. These vehicles may have a condition permitting corrosion to occur between the front hub/bearing assembly and the wheel speed sensor. If the brakes are applied while the vehicle is traveling at a speed of greater than 3. 7 mph but less than 10 mph, the corrosion may cause an unwanted anti-lock brake system activation. If this condition occurred where stopping distance is limited, a crash could occur. ¿ my dealer said the computer didn't show any issues, but as soon as I drove home it happened again. I don't think my dealer even looked at the documents I provided to them to help them diagnose the issue. This is a major safety concern and I wonder how many other people with GMC Yukons are having the same issue and have just not done anything about it.

18 Traction Control System problem of the 2007 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 01/02/2010

The check engine/service stabilitrak/engine power reduced light comes on frequently yet the GMC dealer cannot pinpoint the problem. Potentially a connection to recall of cars equipped with heated windshield washer fluid feature. Did detect a slight odor shortly after using the windshield washer fluid and the indicator lights started flashing and the car slowed down considerably on the highway during inclement weather. Thus far nothing has corrected the problem; we are hoping to get the car back to our home state so the dealer can work on resolving this hazard.

19 Traction Control System problem of the 2002 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 11/18/2009

My 2002 GMC Yukon has the problem that when stopping at slow speeds the abs brakes activate causing the car to lurch forward before coming to a complete stop. This is the third time I have experienced this with this vehicle. The first time was just before the recall for this problem in 2005, the second time was in the summer of 2007 when it was fixed under the recall, and just recently when I had to again pay for the repair. Each time it was repaired by removing and cleaning or replacing the sensors. Obviously the repair done as a result of the recall is temporary at best and the safety issue of the car lurching forward returns. In my case it appears to return in about 2 years.
