2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 problems

Our yukon on numerous occasions will just display reduced engine power and speed will decrease rapidly. I have pulled off the road and turned vehicle off removed key waited a few minutes then started the truck and it may run fine or may just continue to have reduced engine power. Between the tow bills and shop fees I have spent more than the truck is worth. We have taken to the shop and spent over 5k for them to state the can not find an issue. They say there are no codes. Then it may or may not run normal for a short period and there is no pattern. It has on numerous occasions just completely shut down and therefore loss of power steering and brakes occurs. Making this very dangerous. The last time it happened I was on the highway traveling at 80 MPH. The result could have been deadly. I am not sure why gmc has done nothing to fix this issue. I saw several other blogs with the same issue. I am the original and only owner of this truck and it has been well taken care of. I loved my truck up until these issues started, previous to this the truck had a parasitic draw that after 3 years my brother figured out not gm or any other mechanic. That was the temperature control module for those that may be experiencing this issue. Is there a way to encourage gm to do a recall? I now have a useless truck sitting in my driveway. It is not safe to drive.

I have 4 michelin tires purchased from costco late 2013, type: lt265/75r16, dot m34n 00cx. Less than 30k miles on all 4. All 4 tires are heavily cracked all around the sidewalls. I called michelin and they stated there is no recall but I've never had or seen any tires do this before and I'm concerned they could potentially cause me to have an accident, explode, or shred while on the highway.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 gmc yukon xl 1500. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the vehicle began to shake. The engine stalled and lost power. The stability system disabled and reduced engine power warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, turned off the engine, waited, and then restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who was unable to duplicate and diagnose the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

When driving whether highway or city streets, the car will without notice slow down to about 15mph. A code of "reduced engine power" is displayed on the dash. The car will not go any faster than 15mph, even with you foot on the gas petal. I have had the car in the shop more times than I can count. They keep replacing different parts thinking that it would fix the problem. Almost within a week after being in the shop the same thing happens again without notice. I have noticed that other people are having the same problem. I treasure my kids and I do not want this to happen whenever I am on the freeway going 60 or 70 MPH and a semi truck runs into the back of me whenever this happens without any notice. Apparently gmc does not know how to fix this problem. There needs to be a recall on this particular gmc model. Is it gong to take the loss of someone's life before the federal safety agency takes a stand on this isssue. I have spent over $2000.00 in repair bills and have the same issue just this past week. I believe that gmc should isssue a recall on this problem and they repair at the their cost.

Driving when entire instrument panel went black. Off/on at random. Knocking sound started about the same time. Took car in to be checked out. Was told brake lines were completely rusted, and needed a new transmission. We paid for repair of the instrument panel. Talked to our dealership, holman in cincinnati oh, about breaks. No recall listed. They have never told us the brake lines were rusted. Offered us $150 brake kit to do ourselves (cant do) or they can do it for $1500-2000. Can't afford. It sits in our driveway, epic fail gmc. We bought a honda.

Engine turn it self off while moving, doors lock it self, turn signals will not return after turning, then bright lights come on when selecting turn signals, loud rattling noise underneath the car; not sure what it could be.

I was traveling on saturday morning, in my dads 2004 yukon luckily it was early enough not much traffic at the time, it was raining and I was not driving very fast normal speed on the highway is 40 miles per hour on us11 because of congestion and traffic lights, I was traveling between 30 and 35 MPH because of rain, anyways a light changed and I had time to stop, but the vehicle did not stop the pedal went almost to the floor and the light came on stating brake failure, from that point I slowed down as slow as I could and tried to test the brakes, it would stop, but needed plenty of distance, so I slowed for a turn off, and when I got home, started to brake before entering the driveway so that I would not hit the garage or anything else, in fact I stopped the vehicle at the end of the driveway near the road.

Speedometer failed to function, gave inconsistent, incorrect speed. Gm dealer reports this as common and acknowledged by gm in this year/model, such that gm extended warranty to 72,000 miles. Since this was noticed past 72,000, gm offers to fix, for a substantial fee. Not knowing speed, or being misled by the speedometer, is a safety hazard.
