"SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM, AND WITHOUT REASON. NO TROUBLE CODES COME UP, THEREFORE NO WAY TO TELL IF SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG.

2016-03-01, Electronic Stability Control (Esc)
MY 2005 YUKON XL WILL, AT RANDOM, SHIFT ITSELF INTO 4 WHEEL LO. IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND AT SPEEDS OF 30+ MPH. ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE PUSH-BUTTON 4WD CONTROL MODULE WILL LIGHT UP OR FLASH. NO AMOUNT OF BUTTON-PUSHING WILL DISENGAGE 4 WHEEL DRIVE. I THE CAR WILL SLAM TO A 5 MPH CRAWL WHEN IT DOES THIS. ALSO THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM DEACTIVATES AT THE SAME TIME. HAS HAPPENED OVER 40 TIMES NOW.

2014-12-01, Service Brakes
THE VEHICLE'S HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES HAVE RAPIDLY CORRODED, TO THE POINT THAT THEY MAY GIVE OUT ANY DAY. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL-MAINTAINED (ALL SERVICE PERFORMED BY A GM DEALER) AND HAS RECEIVED REGULAR UNDERCARRIAGE WASHING. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (EBCM) HAS JUST FAILED; IF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK OCCURS, THERE WILL BE NO WARNING OR INDICATION PRESENTED BY THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP. GM HAS STATED THAT ANY REPAIRS FOR THESE SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD CONDITIONS WOULD NEED TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET, WITH AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $2500. A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT SUCH EXHIBIT CORROSION TO THE POINT OF A SAFETY HAZARD. *JS

2014-08-15, Electrical System
YESTERDAY I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND TURNED ON THE A/C. THE A/C BLOWER WAS BLOWING AT THE HIGHEST SETTING REGARDLESS OF THE CONTROL SETTING. I TURNED THE A/C OFF AND THE BLOWER REMAINED ON. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN. THE BLOWER CONTINUED TO RUN FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 MINUTES WHILE MY HUSBAND RESEARCHED ONLINE HOW TO GET IT TO STOP. THE BLOWER DID NOT STOP RUNNING UNTIL MY HUSBAND REMOVED THE FUSE. IF MY HUSBAND WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WITH ME THE BLOWER WOULD HAVE CONTINUOUSLY RAN, CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT, AND POSSIBLY CAUSING A FIRE. ALSO, WE HAVE DIGITAL GEAR LIGHTS ON OUR DASH. THOSE LIGHTS STARTED PERIODICALLY DIMMING SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND HAVE SINCE GONE OU
