INSTRUMENT PANEL IS GOING OUT, ONE INSTRUMENT AT A TIME. FIRST SHOWING LOW OIL PRESSURE, STABILITRAK WARNING, CHECK ENGINE, NOW IT IS THE RPM GAUGE THAT ISN'T SHOWING ANYTHING. ALSO HAVE A HUGE CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD THAT'S BEEN THERE FOR ABOUT 5-6 YEARS. I'VE SEEN ONLINE COMPLAINTS OFF THIS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 65 MPH & THEN A MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASH THAT STATES CHECK STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL OFF. I THEN BRAKED TO PULL OVER & THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AS IF THE SUSPENSION & BRAKES WERE BEING AFFECTED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING THIS ERROR MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR & THEN GO OFF & CONTINUED TO DO THIS FOR 3-4 HOURS WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

AS I WAS DRIVING 'OIL PRESSURE IS LOW, CUT THE ENGINE OFF' WARNING CAME ON AND THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON. THAT ALSO TRIGGERED THE TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRAK LIGHT TO COME ON. FROM THEN ON WHENEVER I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THOSE LIGHTS COME ON AS WELL AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE GMC 2007 ENGINE. THERE ARE MULTIPLE FORMS FROM CHEVY, CADILLAC, AND GMC WHERE CONSUMERS THAT HAVE THESE ENGINES ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. WHEN WE TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIPS WE ARE TOLD TO CHANGE THE ENGINE. I WAS JUST QUOTED OVER $8000 TO CHANGE THIS ENGINE. I CAN'T EVEN SELL THIS TRUCK WITHOUT LOSING MY SHIRT. WE NEED HELP OUT HERE. GM KNOWS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS KNOW. THEY ARE SWEEPING THIS UNDER THE RUG UNTIL SOME PEOPLE DIE BECAUSE OF IT!

THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE, AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED. I WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON, AND THE ENGINE BEGINS TO RUN VERY HARD AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY AND CANNOT REACH FULL CAPACITY. THIS IS SOMEWHAT SCARY AS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES, AS WELL AS JUST DRIVING AROUND MY RESIDENTIAL AREA, ALWAYS WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. USUALLY ONCE I TURN THE CAR OFF AND LEAVE IT FOR A LITTLE BIT, THEN RESTART IT, THE LIGHTS ARE OFF EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT GMC SHOULD BE TAKING THIS SAFETY CONCERN VERY SERIOUSLY AS NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY IS DEFINITELY A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH COMING FROM A SUPERVISION TRAINING CLASS ALONG WITH A CO-WORKER AND THE FOLLOWING SENSOR LIGHTS STARTED APPEARING ON MY DASHBOARD: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK OFF. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE GM SERVICE AT LEAST TWICE AND PRIVATE REPAIR FACILITIES NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES. IT IS NOW 01-28-2014 AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES AND IS GETTING WORSE. ALONE WITH THE ABOVE ISSUES NOW THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND NO REPAIR FACILITY, GM OR OTHERWISE, KNOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO DRIVE SO THIS VEHICLE IS WHAT I DRIVE BUT, IT IS DANGEROUS AND GM NEEDS TO FIX IT OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I NEED ANSWERS QUICKLY I FEAR THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS FOR ALL CONCERNED ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY!!

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

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.
