Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc yukon. While driving at various speeds, the contact noticed that the low engine oil indicator illuminated on the instrument panel and the vehicle was sluggish. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that there were no failures; however, the contact stated that the vehicle would continue to drive sluggish and consume excessive amounts of oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 47,000.
My wife and I had just purchased a used 2007 gmc yukon. Little did we know about the major issue the truck has with the reduced power reading that comes up. I really think that gmc needs to put out a recall for these issues. My wife was on her way home from a work meeting and driving on the freeway with her sister and my wife's and my daughter in the gmc yukon and she was doing the speed limit and all of a sudden she didn't know what was going on. She called me and she was in a panic. She had to pull off the freeway and come to a complete stop and when she did the vehicle had died it turned off and she had our 2 month old daughter with out A/C and in 100 degree weather. This issue puts the people's families at risk that own these vehicles and also other drivers families at risk you can not replace a persons life if its taken away and the hardship it causes but you can replace a vehicle so why not come up with solution so the road may become a little bit of a safer place. When my wife had this happen other drivers were not courteous or understanding when someone puts their hazard lights on that something is wrong, they just kept flying past her. Now with several people having this same issue with the same gm make this issue should be resolved. I have looked up and saw chevy doesn't have this issue and chevy is the same company. If the national highway traffic safety association could create this recall and they could use the same part from chevy then surely this issue would be fixed and it would be a safer vehicle. If you were a company owner wouldn't you want to stand by your companies production and create solutions if there were these common issues? Wouldn't you want to help make the road a safer place by one little fix? It wouldn't
I have had my vehicle for about 4 years now. I haven't had any issues with it up until july of last year (2014). I experienced my car jerking erratically and had to pull over. The car lost speed and could not accelerate. I had taken it to a mechanic who then said I needed a new transmission. I have had the transmission replaced. About 6 months later the jerking started again on and off, no loss of speed and it would only jerk going form first gear to second. I have not worried about it until now because the car would only jerk every so often. Now my traction control and stabilizer service warning message pops up. I have taken it to several places I have been told that I needed a throttle body, ABS module and both are not cheap to fix they all want to charge me $500- $1200 to fix the problem. I began researching and see that the issue I am having may be due to a manufacturing issue. I plan to take it to another mechanic before I start paying for more costly repairs. If for some reason this is a manufacturing issue, these vehicles need to be recalled before a serious accident happens.
This is another incident that occurred the same week as my last complaint. While driving home from lunch I slowed the vehicle as I was going down a hill, this did not require any use of the accelerator pedal. Upon slowing down my vehicle displayed the following messages: "service traction control", "service stabilitrack", "reduced engine power". The SUV would not accelerate over 15mph requiring my to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle shook violently until I was able to put it in park and turn off the engine. After 10 minutes of sitting on the side of the road I stared the engine again. The SUV started right up but the "check engine" light remained on until the following day. Engine codes lead to a faulty throttle body position sensor which was replaced after the incident on 7/13. I took my vehicle to the gmc dealer today who informed me of the same problem yet again. These are either bad parts or a some bigger gm issue.
While driving to work on the interstate I approached slow moving traffic. Upon slowing down my vehicle displayed the following messages: "service traction control", "service stabilitrack", "reduced engine power". The SUV would not accelerate over 15mph requiring my to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle shook violently until I was able to put it in park and turn off the engine. After 10 minutes of sitting on the side of the road I stared the engine again. The SUV started right up but the "check engine" light remained on. This was a terrifying experience on a busy stretch of hwy 88 outside of chicago. I hope others do not have to go through this experience.
While my wife was driving on the interstate highway at 55mph, the SUV check engine light came on, followed by a traction control warning on the display, then the vehicle went into "limp mode", reducing power and speed to approx 20 MPH. She turned on the hazards, and moved into the right lane as other vehicles went around her at the posted speed limit as the engine was bucking and missing. She exited the highway and limped the truck, barely getting up to 20 MPH to a service shop. They scanned the codes, the only one there directed them to change the throttle body, ($580). The vehicle ran good for 3 days, then all the same bells and whistles came back. Gmc service said they have no knowledge of a problem. Upon researching this online, I found it's far from uncommon. If this has not caused an accident yet, its only a matter of time..
Every couple days when I start the vehicle the starter seems to keep trying to restart after the car is running I usually just tap it to turn over but it continue to turn itself over on its own causing grind noise. Very unusual. Seems like a malfunction. Not sure how to explain it doesn't happen everyday but it happens enough I need to get make a complaint its not normal.
Started the motor in the morning noticed a light ticking noise come from the motor. Sounds like the lifters are tapping. The noise use to only be in the morning but now it is constant. Took it to a repair shop for a diagnosis was informed that the lifters are going bad!!!!! Was told it was going to cost around 3000.00 to fix the problem. After doing some research on the internet I could not believe how many other gm owners were having the same problem. Please investigate this problem and have a recall placed on these motors I think it is unfair that we have to pay out so much money to own a nice car just to have it turn into a big pile. My low mileage car sounds like it has 200000 miles on it.
Exhaust manifold bolts are breaking which could allow exhaust to get into cab.
Roughly 30 times since march my 2007 gmc yukon xl 5.3 slt has had the dreaded stabilitrack off, service stabilitrack, reduced engine power problem. You can be driving along at various speeds and the error will come on and you will be completely unable to accelerate. Leaving a very dangerous situation for my family. It has happened when pulling a camper and without pulling anything either. Gm refuses to help the many families having the same problems.
Bought this vehicle in aug 2013. Had to bring back to dealer because catalytic converter was no good. Had my mechanic check out rest of car and he found excessive rusting on frame especially where rear tire is mounted.
When vehicle was inspected I was told that there was an exhaust leak in exhaust manifold. Dealership found a broken bolt on left side and replaced it. I have just been informed that I now as of 01/30/2012 with 62,760 miles I have another bolt broken on the right side. After researching on internet it is obvious that gm has a design fault in using lower grade bolt which are breaking in large numbers. I implore the ntsa to require gm to replace these defective bolts either by recall or as incident occurs at no cost to car owners. I am told that the exhaust leak can cause failure of the catalytic converter and other engine failure problems which can result in safety issues.
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. I heard that exposure to the sun may be a cause, however, my two front windows have had 5% tint on them since I bought it. Also, I just got my vehicle back from the dealership because of check engine light issues. The problem is fixed for now, however, after researching online it seems like there are hundreds of gmc yukon owners experience very similar issues with their vehicle's engine. I keep reading about the "reduced engine power" and "service stabilitrak" warnings.
Vehicle gets extremely low gas, 13 mpg on average. Burns oil . Need to add 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes. Engine cooling fan stays on for extended periods while driving. All of which the dealership says is normal for the truck. They removed the driveshaft because of clunking at 25k mi. Reaction carrier replaced and transmission reconditioned at 36,663 mi after car stopped in the middle of the street. Car had to be towed in. At 62k miles engine light on and idles rough. Replaced throttle body. At 67k won't engage in reverse and makes clunking sound from reverse to drive. Replaced reverse housing, reaction shell, etc. At 75k had a reaction carrier failure, lost power brakes and lost power to the car. Almost was rear ended. Had to stop in middle of parking lot during christmas rush. Waited 5 min and restarted. Engine light stayed on, but was able to get to dealership. Was told that throttle body needs to be cleaned every 15k miles under service maintenance. This was the first time I heard this! Not really sure why it had to be cleaned, though, just had the throttle body replaced 13k miles ago. It seems that there are major flaws in the design of the engine. Obviously, the dealership has been putting band aids on my problem because they don't know how to fix. I have been very lucky that my family and children have not been in a major accident due to the major flaws in the engine designs. Every time I get my car fixed, the tech assures me that they have fixed the problem. I am really afraid to drive this car with so many close calls. The car is a hazard to drive!
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. Motherboards, gas pedals, gas caps, wires, everything you can think of has been replaced on my vehicle and it still goes into reduced engine power putting my families lives at risk. This is an extremely dangerous situation.
"reduced engine power" message while driving on the highway at 65mph. My truck immediately dropped down to 35 MPH and nearly caused a wreck.
Serious safety issue please read, research and address!!! 2007 gmc yukon 4x4 my stabilitrack light comes on then engine power flashes and I loose power ongoing problem! I was doing 70 MPH down the freeway when this happened fortunely no one was behind me serious safety issue! I have had it to the dealer x2 two months ago. At first they cleaned the throttle body but could not pin point the problem. The second time I had it there they again could not find the problem. I have researched this online and this is a common problem. No real conclusive answer to why. There needs to be an investigation as this is a serious safety issue!! I am taking my vehicle to another auto mechanic. My vehicle has about 140,000 miles however this proble began nearly a year ago but it did not reduce engine power. The problem fixes it self if you shut the truck off and restart. Please address!! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Purchased this vehicle in march 09. It has been in the shop 4 different times for A/C. Started about 4 months after purchase. Driver side A/C blows hot air, but passenger side and rear work fine. Have also experienced the brakes slipping off and on. Push the brake pedal and the pedal will drop down a little lower while pressure being applied and vehicle will slide to a halt. Happened about 6 times since ownership. Chrome plating on interior door handles is peeling, causing cuts/lacerations to hands. Recent problem of engine running low of oil in between oil changes. Now low about 2 quarts. Running oil consumption tests now.
The cooling fan is very loud and stays on for an abnormal amount of time when the car is in park or at a stop while on only when the temperature outside is over 85 degrees. The fan will continue to stay on while driving for 10 to 15 minutes. Sometimes it won't shut off until the car is shut off and then restarted. Had it for repair on several different occasions at gmc and the technician said that is was normal.
