What owners report
A SPRING FROM A LARGE VEHICLE ON 20TH STREET ENSLEY EXIT GOT INBEDED IN MY TIRE LAST NIGHT 1/17/17 AT ABOUT 7:50PM. WHICH MADE A BIG HOLE AND I AM IN NEED OF A TIRE. I CALLED AAA AND HAD TO GET IT TOWED BECAUSE OF HOW FAST AIR CAME OUT AND ALDOT STOPPED TO HELP BUT HAD NO PLUGS. SO IT WAS TOWED
WHILE OPENING MY REAR LIFTGATE GLASS THE GLASS SEPARATED FROM THE HINGE HOLDING IT IN PLACE. THIS CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN THAT THE ONLY THING KEEPING MY PASSEGNER COMPARTMENT SAFE WAS THE GLASS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC YUKON XL 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED A BURNING ODOR.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS, HOWEVER THE DETAILS OF THE DIAGNOSIS COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY ON 04/01/2015 WHEN MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK. I PULLED OVER AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER ERROR WAS ILLUMINATED. I TURNED OFF MY TRUCK AND RESTARTED IT, I MANAGED TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT OTHER INCIDENT. THE NEXT DAY, IT DID IT AGAIN WHILE ON THE WAY TO THE SHOP. MY MECHANIC NARROWED THE PROBLEM DOWN TO THE ACCELERATOR SENSOR LOCATED ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT WAS REPLACED, BUT I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY AS WELL. WHILE DOING RESEARCH ON THIS, I RAN ACROSS A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN NEWER VEHICLES. WHY HASN'T GM RECALLED THIS? DO PEOPLE HAVE TO GET HURT FIRST BEFORE ANYTHING IS DONE?
