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.

2007 gmc yukon denali. As I was driving...engine light came on, following with vehicle stability control, traction control disable then reduced engine power and it wont let me drive more then 20 MPH. Took it the dealer, replaced terminal wires, replaced bcm module ($1100). Two days later same lights comes back on dashboard...took it to the dealer and they told me I need throttle body replaced ($631). Then even more issues came, as you stopping for the stop light, but the truck jerking forward while foot on break and as stopping it makes a thud noise when slowing down. Contact gm said they'll be able to help me out but then they decline for any help and simply told me there is nothing they can do. Now dealer is telling me I need breaks, ball joints, up control arms, shocks. Truck has under less then 100k miles and most of these should last more then 100k. Even dealer admitted by saying I've never seen yukon denali going back. Its a safely issue. My wife will not drive this truck any more with 3 kids in it and now it just sits in my garage while making payments to this truck. Its ridiculous! Im sure there are someone out there that can help us and others who are going through the same issue before gm get a lawsuit and have blook on their hands.

I had stopped at a 4 stop intersection. I took off and there was a sudden jerk, like I hit something or someone hit me. The car stopped suddenly, I tried to accelerate, the engine revved without acceleration. I put car the in park and back in drive, car did not move. I put it in reverse, had no problem going back but was in traffic and close to an intersection so it was unsafe to go back. Called "aaa" for tow. Cops came; they had me put car in 1st gear. Car was fine in 1st and 2nd gear. Drove car to parking lot. Cop stated that I had a transmission problem. Had car towed to gmc dealership. Next morning (may 7), dealership stated that it was a broken forward sprag but they needed to go deeper to see if there was more extensive damage to transmission. Asked how much, he said maybe 2000 to 4000. I called gmc home office and spoke with a rep. Let her know that my car was only 6 yrs old with low mileage and I didn't understand why I was having transmission problems. She called dealership and was told the same thing that I was told. At this point I didn't trust to deal with gmc so I decided to remove my car from the dealership. Received a call from dealership 2 hours later stating that they had authorization from gmc home office to offer me assistance of 40% off the total price. They said that it may be between 1500 to 3000. I had my husband call and they told him that if there was not extensive damage from the "broken forward sprag" it might be cheaper. Received call from dealership on may 8, no extensive damage, only replacing the "forward sprag". I am grateful for the assistance of 40% but I'm still upset that I have to repair the transmission on this car. It's not that old and I barely drive it. I've checked the web and have noticed other owners with similar problems. I was told to file a complaint with this agency and maybe it can be investigated.

Stabilitrack automatically shuts off at various times and signals on dashboard to get serviced. When stabilitrack is off transmission shifts very roughly and car lurches forward. Date of occurrence is approx but has been happening ever since.

When coming to a complete stop, the brakes jerk or a slipping motion after you are at complete stop. We have brought it to the attention to the dealership numerous times and the have just lubed the problem, according their memo that is the procedure, instead of fixing the problem. This is a almost daily basis, it appears to be a problem that gmc doesn't want to spend the money to fix on these vehicles.
