My vehicles Electronic stability control is activating randomly. This issue started a few years ago and has increased in frequency. We will be driving at speeds between 50-75 mph in dry conditions and it will randomly activate which has almost caused us to lose control of the vehicle. No mechanics have been able to figure it out. I did some research and saw there was a vehicle recall issued for 2019 GMC Yukons Electrontronic Stablilty Control system, but for some reason it does not cover my vehicle. The GM recall number is N192261050. The description of the issue matches exactly what is happening. I called GMC and issued a complaint and also have setup a dealership to fix the issue. I don't believe i should be responsible for paying the cost of the repair since other 2019 GMC Yukons were recalled for this issue.

it's been a known fact and on social media there has been many complaints, why is there nothing being done. this vehichle has a water or moisture problem which goes to the electric connectors and makes the vehichle go in to derate mode and only code it throws is peddle position sensor. which I have changes, and still no fix, as other connectors that are going to the electronic board removed, and it has corrosion. this is clearly a safety risk and it literally puts in a mode where a truck is not drivable.

Only thing that seems to work is pulling off road and restarting vehicle. That is only a,temporary "fix". Comes back a few days later. This is a safety issue as 1) distracts me while driving 2) I pull an 8,000lb travel trailer with the vehicle.
