2006 GMC Yukon

This is the 2nd GMC Yukon with a faulty drivetrain I've acquired in 3 years. Both occasions were directly after the vehicle had professional service done related to the faulty system. The transmissions was fully serviced at reputable repair shops and within a month or 2, without warning, the transmissions started having mechanical issues without DTC being triggered. As well as a 2004 Buick Rendezvous with less than 70k miles on it. The 2001 GMC Yukon suddenly lost reverse and park while driving and imploded the transmission in the process. The 2004 Buick Rendezvous started slipping and ceased to move by it's own power when at operating temperature. The 2006 GMC Yukon Denali stopped shifting gears while on the freeway at 55 mph and systematically lost all moving gears within a day also while at operating temperature.

IT HAPPENED REPEATEDLY NOW WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY THE STEERING WOULD GET SLOPPY AT RANDOM MOMENTS AND KEEPING THE VEHICLE IN ITS LANE BECOMES DIFFICULT. I REPLACED TIE RODS INNER & OUTER, UPPER/LOWER BALL JOINTS PITMAN ARM AND IDLER, SWAYBAR LINKS SHOCKS/STRUTS. I EVEN HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS LOOK AT THE STEERING COMPONENTS. BOTH SAID EVERYTHING IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK A MONTH AGO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC YUKON. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE TRACTION ACTIVE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN MAKING TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO 30 MPH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 5 MPH.I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TRYING TO GAIN SPEED WITHOUT SUCCESS THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30 MPH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD I SAW TWO WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF "STABILITY SYS DISABLED" FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SAFETY. THE ROAD WAS DRY AND NO BUMPS TO DISABLE STABILITY. THE TRACTION CONTROL IN THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED FAR FROM MY STEERING WHEEL SO I KNOW I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BY ACCIDENT. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER I WAS ADVISED TO HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE ERROR IN THE DASH. THAT DID NOT WORK. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY FOR SEVERAL DAYS RETURNED MY CAR BACK ONCE STATING THAT IT WAS DUE TO MASTER AIR FLOW SENSOR ALONG WITH THE AIR FILTER ONCE THOSE PARTS WERE REPLACED I PICKED UP MY CAR AS SOON AS I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE IT AROUND THE CORNER I EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AT 5 MPH AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO GO ANY FASTER NO MATER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. 2ND TIME THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME I WAS TOLD IT WAS JUST THE BUTTERFLY IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND THAT IT WAS REPLACED FOR A NEW ONE. I WAS DRIVING AWAY AND GOT JUST A LITTLE FARTHER THAN THE FIRST TIME WHEN I GOT THE SAME ERROR MESSAGE AGAIN I DROVE IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY THEY REPLACED THAT BUT ITS STILL HAVING ISSUES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING I WANT THIS NOTED IN CASE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH FATALITIES.

BONDDOGBONDDOG AUGUST 2006 EDITED JUNE 2015 IN GMC I PURCHASED MY 2006 YUKON LAST SEPTEMBER 2005. I NOW HAVE 24,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST MONTH I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ALMOST ALL POWER. THE INFORMATION CENTER WILL DISPLAY THE MESSAGES: "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND BEARLY 3 MPH UP A MODERATELY STEEP HILL. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY HAVE BEEEN STUMPED BY WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS. THEY SAID THAT GM/GMC TOLD THEM THAT "GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME". HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER SELL A VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECT AND NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT? WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM.
