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.”
NHTSA complaint #10925633, filed 2016-11, 119,860 miles“While accelerating from a complete stop the vehicle goes into traction control for no reason stalling in the middle of the intersection. The display flashes traction active even though the pavement is dry and free of loose debris. You have to let the accelerator go and re-accelerate to deactivate the traction control, leaving you stalled in the middle of the intersection. Gm had a recall for large suvs and pick-ups with a very similar problem, the only difference was the display flashed an ABS fault but the repair for that recall was exactly the same as for the traction active fault. …”

Once happened while making left turn at intersection. Same results. Saw many similar complaints on forums about Gmc yukon. …”
