 My 2005 yukon 4wd went out. it started as an intermittent problem. the first time i took it to the dealer since it was not currently having problems they were unable to identify the issue. this time it was out for several days before i finally took it in. although nothing extreme happened, since i was aware of the issue, but if someone was not aware of the issue they could potentially lose control of there vehicle since the traction control system is also disabled in this problem. replaced the 4wd actuator total bill 762.00 was also told it could potentially short out the brain box for the 4wd operating system. the first time it happened it was when the weather was cold, never had an issue all summer until now, when the weather turned cold. my vehicle only had 38,000 miles the first time and 52,000 this time. my 1999 yukon had 158,000 and i never had an issue with it. *tr

 Dt*: the contact stated the vehicle was unable to be placed into reverse gear. the vehicle was driven for awhile before it was taken to the dealership. while at the dealership, diagnostic tests were performed. the problem was with the reverse input piston seal. it was cut and not holding proper pressure. the seal was replaced however the vehicle was still having the problem after repairs were made. the vehicle was taken to 2 other dealerships where diagnostic tests were performed. the dealerships are unable to duplicate the problem.
