“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.”
NHTSA complaint #10806402, filed 2015-11, 80,000 miles“Was driving and stabilization got turned turned off. The engine power got reduced. Decreasing the car's power dramatically then eventually not drivable. This is very very dangerous because was driving on the freeway. I was fortunate enough to make a smooth lane change to the side to stop the car. But if I couldn't and there was a lot of cars, this would of caused a massive accident. I feel from my research, Gmc should be responsible and fix this! Very angry because it had happened twice now!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11257208, filed 2019-09, 210,000 miles“While driving the stabilitrak off light flashed on the dashboard, including the traction control off. This has shut down my car on the highway 4 times. Oddly, when I took it to the dealership, it would reset itself and the codes would go away temporarily. The dealership recommended to change the engine control module and cables, which I did on 7/17/20 and 7/31/20. However, on my last trip I had to get towed back to my home on 09/01/20 for the same reason as I was stranded on a highway on the way to a funeral for a family friend. This is so dangerous. …”
NHTSA complaint #11359816, filed 2020-09, 200,000 miles“While picking up my children from school the engine started backfiring,pulled the car over and put into park idle completely unstable, traction control service light came on engine light came on. Hard shift on transmission. Totally disappointed. Took it to the dealership for a diagnosis they say the lifters are bad and are no longer covered under warranty. Quoted me 2700.00 to replace 2 lifters so not acceptable this car does not even require a tune up until 100000 miles. Explained that to the service rep and he came back with a different quote telling me they would be willing to cover half. …”
NHTSA complaint #10568651, filed 2014-03, 52,000 miles“2007 Yukon Xl - traction control came on causing a reduction in power while traveling. This is a safety concern that should be addressed by general motors. This is a very serious safety issue that needs to be looked into, before somebody gets hurt or killed. Gm needs to recall their products that are involved.”
