What owners report
My GMC YukonXL Denali has faulty fuel gauges therefore there is no way I can determine if I'm are out of gas or not. Sometimes it displays that my tank is on empty and sometimes it display that I am full. I found online that over time, the contacts in the fuel-level sensor could wear and cause an incorrect reading on the gas gauge. In 2011 GM said that they would pay to repair.
MY STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ENGAGES IN DRY WEATHER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ADDITIONALLY, THE SYSTEM ENGAGES AT MODERATE SPEEDS WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. ALSO, THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES ENGAGE IN DRY WEATHER AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN BRAKING. THESE SITUATIONS HAVE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS
DRIVER SEAT NOT MOVING FORWARD I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ALSO THE GAS GAUGE ISN'T WORK NOR IS THE SPEEDOMETER WE REPLACED STEPPING MOTORS STILL NOT WORKING THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD KNOWING HOW FAST I'M GOING..
CODES P1516, P2135, AND P0120 HAVE RETURNED FOR A THIRD TIME. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. LUCKILY, I WAS JUST A MILE AWAY FROM HOME AND LIMPED MY CAR HOME. I'VE SINCE CLEANED THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AND THROTTLE BODY. I'VE CHANGED OUT THE TPS AND ACCELERATION SENSOR. I'VE CHECKED ALL MY GROUNDS AND THESE CODES KEEP COMING BACK. I'VE NOTICED OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUES WHICH IS WHY I DID THE STEPS LISTED ABOVE. I'VE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT I DID EVERY STEP THEY'VE WOULD HAVE DONE TO TROUBLESHOOT THIS PROBLEM. SOMEONE FROM GM NEEDS TO THIS ISSUE, AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THIS IS OCCURRING TO.
FULL BRAKE FAILURE IN 7/19 AND AGAIN IN 10/19. WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING OTHER VEHICLE AS LITTLE TRAFFIC. HAD THEM COMPLETELY REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. 1/20 BRAKES FAILED AGAIN CAUSING US TO AVOID HITTING OTHER VEHICLES BY JUMPING A CURB AND HITTING A MILE MARKER SIGN A PARKWAY. THAT IS 3 BRAKES FAILURES IN 7 MONTHS. VEHICLE IS NOW TOTALED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE! NO INJURIES, THANK GOD!
