TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE AT A STOP, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED EVENTUALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED AN ON-SCREEN DRIVING TEST, BUT WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE FAILURE CODES. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (JOHN PAUL'S GMC, GREENFIELD, WI, 414-482-6246) AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT DUPLICATED BECAUSE THE DEALER USED THE SAME DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AS THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 180,000.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY CAR LOST POWER TO 30 MPH ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 5 MPH.I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR TRYING TO GAIN SPEED WITHOUT SUCCESS THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE MORE THAN 30 MPH, NO MATTER HOW MUCH I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR. WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD I SAW TWO WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF "STABILITY SYS DISABLED" FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO SAFETY. THE ROAD WAS DRY AND NO BUMPS TO DISABLE STABILITY. THE TRACTION CONTROL IN THIS VEHICLE IS LOCATED FAR FROM MY STEERING WHEEL SO I KNOW I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BY ACCIDENT. AFTER I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER I WAS ADVISED TO HIT THE TRACTION CONTROL BUTTON TO SEE IF THAT WOULD FIX THE ERROR IN THE DASH. THAT DID NOT WORK. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER CONCERN FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. THE DEALER HAS HAD MY FOR SEVERAL DAYS RETURNED MY CAR BACK ONCE STATING THAT IT WAS DUE TO MASTER AIR FLOW SENSOR...

BONDDOGBONDDOG AUGUST 2006 EDITED JUNE 2015 IN GMC I PURCHASED MY 2006 YUKON LAST SEPTEMBER 2005. I NOW HAVE 24,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST MONTH I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IT WILL SUDDENLY LOSE ALMOST ALL POWER. THE INFORMATION CENTER WILL DISPLAY THE MESSAGES: "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED", "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO OVER 20 MPH ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND BEARLY 3 MPH UP A MODERATELY STEEP HILL. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR THEY HAVE BEEEN STUMPED BY WHAT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM IS. THEY SAID THAT GM/GMC TOLD THEM THAT "GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AT THIS TIME". HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER SELL A VEHICLE THAT HAS A DEFECT AND NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT? WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION OR ON A HIGHWAY THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. THANKS, [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN...
