WHILE DRIVING FROM GA TO LA ON CHRISTMAS EVE, MY YUKON XL WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND LOST TRACTION CONTROL AND ANTILOCK BRAKES. THE CAR ALMOST INSTANTLY DROPPED FROM 72MPH TO 45MPH AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I WAS ADVISED BY ONSTAR TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND TURN IT OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I STARTED IT AGAIN, POWER WAS RESTORED, BUT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT REMAINED. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CAR WOULD PROBABLY DO THE SAME THING AND THAT I SHOULD HAVE IT SERVICED IMMEDIATELY, ON THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WHICH WAS MONDAY DECEMBER 27TH. WHILE DRIVING TO A DESTINATION ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY ON SUNDAY, THE CAR WENT INTO REDUCED POWER AGAIN AND THE WARNING LIGHTS RETURNED. THIS TIME TURNING THE ENGINE OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES DID NOT HELP AND POWER REDUCTION REMAINED. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE FIRST THING MONDAY MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, BUT THAT THE PART WAS BACKORDERED AT THE FACTORY, SO MY VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. I CALLED MY DEALER IN GA TO SEE IF THEY HAD THE PART, BUT THEY ALSO HAD TWO ON BACKORDER FOR TWO OTHER CUSTOMERS. AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE, WHICH IS ONLY A YEAR OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY, CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAYS. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

GMC YUKON XL Power Train Automatic Transmission

GMC YUKON XL 2009 Power Train Automatic Transmission Report #10420941

GMC YUKON XL 2009 car safety problem was reported on Aug 21, 2011.GMC YUKON XL 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION . 2009 YUKON XL HAS DIED 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. ONCE WAS IN REVERSE. THERE IS NO WARNING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T "REPRODUCE" THE PROBLEM SO NOTHING WRONG WAS DETERMINED. THE ONLY THING THAT QUITS IS THE ENGINE (WHICH TAKES OUT THE POWER STEERING SO I CANNOT CONTROL THE TRUCK FOR LONG AND NOT AT ALL IN A TURN); THE AIR AND RADIO/DVD PLAYER STAY ON, THE LIGHTS (IN - ON DASHBOARD AND OUTSIDE) STAY ON AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY LIGHT THAT SHOWS A PROBLEM COMES ON. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS IN AUGUST OF 2010, I WAS IN MID TURN, WITH MY 4 CHILDREN IN THE TRUCK WHEN I SUDDENLY COULDN'T COMPLETE THE TURN. IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL OR APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE. I PUT IT IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY TO OFF, REMOVED THE KEY, REPLACED IT AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE (WHICH STARTED IMMEDIATELY). ONSTAR COULDN'T DETECT ANYTHING AND THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T GET IT TO "REPRODUCE" SO NOTHING WAS FIXED. IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS (JULY/AUGUST 2011) IT HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES, ONCE WHILE REVERSING (STRAIGHT) AND THE OTHER WHILE AGAIN TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT - THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. BOTH TURNS WERE RIGHT TURNS. THE VEHICLE IS BEING INSPECTED, AGAIN, BY THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE SAME OUTLOOK; IF IT CANNOT BE REPRODUCED, THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS ALSO BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY'RE NOT RELATED. THERE ARE SEVERAL INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS ONLINE, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, NONE HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT WILL SURELY END UP IN AN ACCIDENT EVENTUALLY. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS AT (ABOUT) 14,500 MILES AND LAST 2 WERE BETWEEN 35,000 AND 38,000 MILES. *TR.Mileage was 14500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GKFK36399R. Gmc Yukon Xl 2009 problem was reported in ARLINGTON, TN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 10 mph.
