Check engine light came on and flashing, stabilitrack light comes on, vehicle idles rough and eventually stalled out. This has happened to me twice in my 2017 gmc yukon. Once at ~53k miles, again at ~64k miles. One time it stalled on the side of the road with my kids in the vehicle with me late at night on vacation and had to be towed in the middle of the night and we had to stay in a hotel out of town unexpectedly. The 2nd time happened closer to home but had to pay for a rental car since this is my only vehicle and the dealership no longer does loaners. The vehicle runs rough while driving, loses power, and seems to lose control. It is very scary when it happens. Happened in oct 2019 and again july 2020. It is the same issue as described in n182198000 special coverage memo (dcs5097) from july 26, 2019 but isn't covered in my state yet apparently.

Vehicle has a rough idle at cold start. Also misfires at stoplights and random times. Vehicle stalled once this morning completely. Told by my gmc dealership this is a common problem and I would have to replace all fuel injectors for over $2,000. I just purchased this vehicle in march. The fuel injectors are on back-order currently so I am unable to have it repaired. I was told another vehicle like mine at that service center has been waiting already for 6 weeks for fuel injectors and that I would have to wait at least another month. This means I will not be able to register my vehicle with my state as it will not pass smog inspection with a check engine light. I have been unable to register it due to the dmv closure from covid-19. Its very dangerous to drive a vehicle that can stall at any moment and is impossible to fix without waiting for parts. These parts are obviously on back-order so long because this is a widespread problem. I found a service bulletin from the federal safety agency ( dcs5097 ) which covers my problem exactly. But for some unknown reason, special coverage only applies to 13 states. I believe this is a much more widespread problem than thought and I believe my safety and the safety of those around me is at risk if I drive this vehicle. My vehicle and those like mine should be covered by special coverage as well. And at the very least the parts to fix this should be available given that its been a known issue now for well over a year. These parts have been back-ordered way before covid-19 even hit, so it cannot be attributed to that. Gm has an obligation to keep their vehicles on the road safe and maintained to the best of their ability and when it comes to this issue they are failing to do so.

The vehicle seems to occasionally stall/sputter when accelerating/proceeding from a stop position at a light or stop sign. Even though on a smooth road surface, the right wheel seems to vibrate. The engine stall is the same instance which occurred in the 2015 vehicle that I traded because it left me stranded. The wheel shaking is not a continuous event. The stalling occurs frequently. An appointment has been scheduled for monday 8/13 for a dealer inspection of my complaint. Vehicle will be left over and a loaner provided.
