“I was driving the vehicle down the road doing 65 MPH. The engine light came on and the message appeared that stated engine power reduced service stablitrak traction control off . The car lost all power and I was unable to go over 20 MPH the rest of my trip home. I went from 65 MPH to 20 MPH in seconds, on the interstate full of traffic. When I got home I then noticed a hot smell. I then had the car towed to a mechanic.”

“2007 Yukon goes into reduced engine power on a regular basis. As a result, there was a crash on one particular incident. On a daily basis, it continues to and the engine cuts out as a result as well, no rhyme or reason. On the interstate, going 70 miles an hour the vehicle cut off, went into reduced engine power and myself and my family were just seconds short from losing our lives. This has all been reported to GM and we've gotten no resolution. …”

“I noticed an approximate 4'' crack on my dash between the windshield and steering wheel hump. I then noticed a similar crack emerging near the top left portion of the front passenger side air bag. I thought maybe the employees where I get my car wash were applying too much pressure. However, after looking online to buy a new dash, I found that I was among many Gmc owners that have the same issue. I dont think it is a coincidence that we all have the same cracks, in the same location on the dash. Also, the chrome plating on both my driver and front passenger inner door handles is peeling off. …”
