What owners say
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 gmc yukon. The contact stated that there were cracks in the dashboard.

I was getting ready to pull out of my driveway and bring my child to preschool when I noticed there wasn't power when I stepped on the gas. Reduced engine power is what I read on my dashboard!!!! I returned to my garage because I was unable to drive him to school. I am very upset!! This looks as if it's an ongoing problem with gmc. I made an appointment to have my vehicle looked at, and I am waiting to find out more about this issue. I will be just as upset if there is a large out of pocket cost. This should be recalled, there are so many others with this same problem, I was just fortunate to be home.
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 gmc yukon. The contact stated that while driving 5 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the contact was advised that the ECM was defective. The dealer replaced the ECM but the repair did not remedy the issue. The manufacturer sent the contact a special order repair for the throttle body due to reduced engine power. The contact called the manufacturer regarding the stalling issue however, the manufacturer refused to accept that the vehicle was stalling. The dealer replaced the throttle control. The failure mileage was 30,000.
2010 gmc yukon slt, I was driving along the highway at 55mph, the engine suddenly lost power. A display message came across "reduced engine power" . The vehicle lost all acceleration, moved over to the right lane almost stalling out in the shoulder lane. Luckily, I was close to home . I had the vehicle towed to the repair shop, had the throttle body replaced. ($602.00) . I will pick up the vehicle tomorrow hopefully it is fixed. This is serious manufactures defect plus a costly repair. As I researched information I see that I am not the only owner of this gm product that can lead to disastrous ending. Hopefully, the federal safety agency will do their own investigation on the throttle body's and discover that this is part must be recalled before fatalities occur!!.
