| Intermittently, when my 2006 gmc yukon denali xl is at a stop light or sign and i am driving less than 10mph and i go to accelerate (not spinning the tires and not on wet or slippery surfaces) the traction active message displays and i lose all power for a couple of seconds. this many times has left me in the middle of an intersection with on-coming traffic. i have googled this traction active and there are many articles from other yukon owners stating they have the exact same issue that i am having. i printed off 9 pages and took to my dealer/service department (simmons rockwell in bath, ny) and after looking at the vehicle, they said there was nothing wrong with it. i even supplied them with an abs recall document id # 1819672 of which the subject is | |||

| Recently, my check engine light came on in my 2006 yukon denali xl w/ a 6.0 engine. the diagnostic test showed a gas cap problem. however, this did not fix the issue. several weeks later, the engine started making what sounded like a clicking sound. upon further investigation, it was discovered that there was a leak in the driver's side exhaust manifold. while in the shop, the mechanic discovered 2 bolts that were broken on the driver's side and it was found that one of the bolts on the passenger side is broken, but the passenger side exhaust manifold was not yet leaking. the auto shop was able to extract one of the bolts, but has found it impossible to remove the other on the driver's side without pulling the engine. this is a necessary repair because improper exhaust is a direct violation of epa standards. furthermore, engine fires can result from this type of issue. upon further research, i have found numerous other gm vehicle owners with a similar exhaust manifold bolt problem. in fact, there is a video created by carquestions on this exact issue. the following is the link to this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yg6wlbnzgi , gm should investigate and consider a recall of gm vehicles with this problem, not only because it is very costly to the consumer, but is also an epa and safety issue. | |||
