2004 GMC Yukon Denali stability control problems

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

FIRST THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 2008. MY SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED THE WRONG SPEED. MY SETTINGS FOR THE SEAT AND MIRRORS QUIT WORKING OVER TIME.HOT AIR WOULD COME OUT OF MY VENTS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON RANDOMLY. RADIO, NAVIGATION, HEAT, AIR CONDITIONER AND MIRRORS WOULD TURN ON/OFF RANDOMLY WITHOUT TOUCHING CONTROLS. THE LAST 3 YEARS WENT THROUGH 3 BATTERIES IN 3 YEARS. TESTS SHOWED AT LEAST 5 THINGS ARE ACTIVELY DRAINING BATTERY IN THE FUSE BOX. ISSUES HAPPENED MOSTLY WHEN CAR WAS ON BUT MIRRORS WOULD RANDOMLY MOVE WHEN CAR WAS NOT ON, VERY CREEPY.

THE "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED" SENSOR COMES ON FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND MY VEHICLE WON'T GO FASTER THAN 5MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS ONLY UPON START UP OF THE VEHICLE. SOMETIMES, IF I WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR, IT'LL START JUST FINE BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I FIRST BROUGHT IT INTO HENDRICK CHEVROLET ON 10/15/12. THEY CHARGED ME ALMOST $700 TO REPLACE "APP SENSOR ASSEMBLY". THEN I BROUGHT IT IN AGAIN ON 11/6/12 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE "CONNECTOR AT THE THROTTLE BODY" AND CHARGED ME $223.09. THE ISSUE TEMPORARILY WENT AWAY. I THEN BROUGHT IT BACK ON 12/20/12 WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE WON'T TURN OFF AS A RESULT OF THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER-STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED WARNING. THEY SIMPLY RESET THE WARNING AND THAT WAS IT. TIL THIS DAY, I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE GOING INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER/STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED. THIS HAS BECOME A CONSTANT ISSUE AND THORN ON MY SIDE AND EACH TIME I BRING IT IN FOR SERVICE, THEY ALWAYS TELL ME IT'S SOMETHING ELSE. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME ISSUES OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD. WHY HAVEN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ON THIS???

WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING, THE "STABILITY CONTROL DISABLED" SENSOR COMES ON FOLLOWED BY "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND MY VEHICLE JUST SHUTS OFF. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE THE 4-5 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED AS I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD, WAIT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND RESTART MY CAR. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED A HUB THAT MY MECHANIC SAID WAS CAUSING A "TRACTION CONTROL" PROBLEM FROM EARLIER. I AM READING ONLINE ALL OF THE NIGHTMARES AND I UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP TRYING TO FIX AN ISSUE THAT GMC IS CLEARLY AWARE OF. I HAVE 5 KIDS AND FREQUENTLY DRIVE THEM AROUND AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT AND I THINK GMC SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY.

2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI SYSTEM STABILIZATION DISABLED WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE CAR COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT STILL NO ERROR CODES. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT STILL IS COMING ON. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS NOR INJURIES, I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THE STABILIZATION SYSTEM WAS MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND IT MUST BE OPERATIONAL. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE TO INSURE THE TRUCK IS SAFE? WHY CAN'T THEY REPLACE COMPUTER MODULES UNTIL THERE IS A RESOLUTION? THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST FIVE YEARS I OWNED IT, DRIVING THE SAME EXACT ROADS THAT THE WARNING FLASHES ON NOW.
