2007 GMC Yukon Speed Control & Cruise Problems

"TAKATA RECALL" THE SPEED CONTROL STOPS WORKING - LIGHT COMES ON FOR SPEED CONTROL ON STEERING WHEEL BUT SPEED CONTROL WILL NOT WORK IT WAS A GRADUAL THING -THEN STOPPED FOR NO REASON

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED AND THE STABILITY TRACK WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR IT TO OPERATE CORRECTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THERE IS CRACKS APPEARING ON THE DASH ALL ALONG THE AIRBAGS HOUSING COMPARTMENT AND PART OF THE AIR BAG IS EXPOSED . I'M VERY AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL GO OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING BECAUSE THE DASH IS SO CRACKED IT'S BARELY HOLDING THE BAG IN . I'M ALSO WORRIED IT WILL AFFECT THE SAFETY COMPONENTS AND NOT WORK IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT BEING EXPOSED TO SOME ELEMENTS DUE TO THE CRACKS. MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED KEPT AND ALWAYS PROFESSIONALLY MAINTAINED SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE DID OR DID NOT DO I BELIEVE IT'S CHEAP MATERIAL ON THE DASH CAUSING THIS TO OCCUR. ANOTHER BIG ISSUE IS THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDAL ARE ADJUSTABLE AND HAVE COMPLETELY COME UNDONE AND FALLEN OFF THE ADJUSTABLE MECHANISM WHILE I WAS DRIVING . I CALLED THE COMPANY AND SHE SAID SOMEONE WOULD CONTACT ME SOON AND IT'S BEEN A MONTH I'VE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. IT WAS A TERRIFYING ORDEAL TO BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE OR BRAKE . I WAS SO SCARED FOR MY CHILDREN'S SAFETY AS WE WERE ALL IN THE CAR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

WHILE DRIVING TODAY AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH IN SOMEWHAT HEAVY TRAFFIC MY SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK INDICATOR CAME ON AS WELL AS A MESSAGE ON THE DASH SAYING THE SAME. AT WHICH TIME MY VEHICLE CAME TO SLOW DOWN AND I LOST POWER. I PULLED OVER AND AND SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND UPON RESTART NOTICED THAT NOT ONLY DID WHITE SMOKE COME FROM MY EXHAUST BUT THE CAR HAD A ROUGH IDLE THE SAME INDICATORS WERE STILL ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD NOW COME ON AS WELL AND WAS FLASHING. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITH A ROUGH LIMP HOWEVER WHEN I CAME TO A STOP FELT AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS HESITANT TO KEEP RUNNING OR TAKE OFF. WHEN APPLYING GAS THERE WAS A THUMP FROM THE REAR WHEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SURE HOW TO ENGAGE.

I TOOK MY DAUGHTER TO VOLLEYBALL PRACTICE AND WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WAS ACCELERATING EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT MOVED ON A JUMPING MODE TO THE FRONT. I GOT SO SCARED. THE CAR MOVED FORWARD WE COULD HAVE BEEN INVOLVED ON AN ACCIDENT ON AN INTERSECTION OR HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. AS THAT HAPPENED I NOTICED IN DASHBOARD THE RMP COUNTER WAS MOVING UP AS IF IT WAS WERE ACCELERATING. IT WAS PRETTY SCARY MY KIDS AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE TO RIDE ON THE ONLY CAR WE OWN. I HAD A MECHANIC TELL ME I SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER BECAUSE IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. THAT IT SEEM TO HIM AS A THROTTLE SYSTEM FAILURE AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS. WHEN I TURN VEHICLE ON IT HAPPENS TOO. *JS

WITHOUT WARNING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, REDUCED POWER AND STABILITY SYSTEM SHUT DOWN DASH BOARD ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. HAD ENGINE CODE SCANNED (P2138, P0102) STILL PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. DEALER WAS NO HELP JUST WANTED TO SELL PARTS THAT MAY FIX IT. *TR

2007 YUKON XL - TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON CAUSING A REDUCTION IN POWER WHILE TRAVELING. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THEIR PRODUCTS THAT ARE INVOLVED. *TR

ON JULY 26, 2013 I WAS IN MY 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI WHEN I HAD AN ISSUE. I WAS IN MY CAR, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT IT WAS IN PARK. I WAS IDLING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I RECEIVED A "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND GAVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON WITH THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILITRAC", "STABILITRAC OFF", SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", AND "POWER ASSIST OFF". I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TRY TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE PART FOR ROUGHLY ABOUT $300 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY WITH ALL OF THE MESSAGES. SINCE THE REPAIR I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 60 MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AGAIN, AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE FIXED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER SINCE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF US WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE ESC AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AS THE ENGINE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION WHERE THEY ADVISED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE VACUUM HOSE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED AT LEAST TWENTY-FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, MY TRUCK WAS DRIVING FINE. THEN THE STABILITRAK CAME ON. WHEN IT CAME ON THE ENGINE SLOW DOWN, AND ALMOST CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR ROAD WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 55. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO START AND CALL THE GMC DEALER, TOLD THEM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, AND THEY ASKED COULD I BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. AFTER THEY SERVICE THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THAT THE STABILITRAK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HADN'T EVEN HAD THE VEHICLE FOR A FULL YEAR. BEFORE I LEFT THE DEALER I ASKED COULD I STILL DRIVE THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THAT I COULD. SO I CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ONE DAY WHILE DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT MOVED FORWARD WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE AND SHUT OFF. I TRIED TO IMMEDIATELY START IT CAUSE I WAS BEHIND ANOTHER CAR AT A LIGHT. I WAS GLAD THAT IT DIDN'T HIT ANOTHER CAR. IT WOULD NOT START IMMEDIATELY. MAYBE TWO MINUTES IT STARTED AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND PRESS THE GAS IT TOOK OFF FAST. WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE POWER IS GONE. IF I AM NOT ABLE TO PULL OVER, THE SPEED WILL DROP BELOW 20 MPH. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL TAKE OFF, WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF GAS. HELP AM SCARED THAT IT MIGHT TAKE OFF AND HIT SOMEONE OR SHUTOFF AND HIT SOMEONE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM, THAT I FEEL GMC SHOULD LOOK INTO BEFORE SOME DIES OR REALLY GET HURT. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND THE VEHICLE WARNING BELL RUNG. ON THE VEHICLE HEADS UP DISPLAY READ. TRACTION CONTROL, STABILITY CONTROL AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATLY STARTED SHUTTING DOWN WITH NO POWER. THIS CAUSED A NEAR MISS FROM BEHIND FROM A TRACTOR TRAILER VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC YUKON XL 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH, THE CRUISE CONTROL FEATURE WOULD ONLY WORK DURING MID-LEVEL ROAD ELEVATIONS. THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED TWO NEAR CRASHES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE AND IT WAS NOT A SAFETY DEFECT OR CONCERN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 15,000. UPDATED 02-19-2008 *BF UPDATED 02/19/08 *TR

DT*: AT TIME WHEN CRUISE AT CONSTANT SPEEDS, THEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE RIGHT AWAY, IT WOULD TAKE A FEW SECONDS. *NM
