“I had been rear ended, my daughter took my 2010 Yukon to the local dealer (findlay) on may 12, 2016, she was told accident didn't cause the problem and would need the tire sensor checked at a cost of $500.00. Yesterday (june 8, 2016) coming home from work, I was turning off the main highway onto a residential street (riverview) as I made the turn the cars ABS brake sensor light went off and so did the light as though I on was on ice, but I was on a paved road and speed was low maybe 10 MPH, it went off almost as quickly as it came on. …”

“2010 Gmc Yukon slt, I was driving along the highway at 55mph, the engine suddenly lost power. A display message came across reduced engine power . The vehicle lost all acceleration, moved over to the right lane almost stalling out in the shoulder lane. Luckily, I was close to home . I had the vehicle towed to the repair shop, had the throttle body replaced. ($602.00) . I will pick up the vehicle tomorrow hopefully it is fixed. This is serious manufactures defect plus a costly repair. …”
