| Stabilitrack light and check engine light illuminates while driving down the highway. the car goes to idle and has no power to accelerate, almost got rear ended by another car. once pulled over to side of road, shut engine down and waitied 15 mins to restart. stability track light and check engine light remains on and car accelerates normally. this has happened several times and is an extreme hazard! i have read numerous accounts of this happening to other owners of this model vehicle and dealer has no resolution to fix the problem, they just charge consumers for parts that are not really resolving the issue. this is dangerous for all drivers and will cause a fatality in the near future, something needs to be done!!! | |||

| I purchased my 2007 yukon about a year ago, in that time the stabilitrak light/check engine/traction control has come on 2 times now. the stabilitrak light comes on and check engine light also comes on it tells me it is turning the stabilitrak off and beeps at me. both times this has happened i have called my mechanic and he told me it is fine to drive to bring it in later and he will hook it up to the computer. the light stays on until i arrive at my destination, i turn the car off let it sit and come back later and it is off when i restart it. i have had the mechanic hook it up to the computer two times now and nothing shows in the history. he has called around to the local gm dealerships and no one knows anything about it. i would like to get this resolved before our extended warranty is up. | |||

| Serious safety issue please read, research and address!!! 2007 gmc yukon 4x4 my stabilitrack light comes on then engine power flashes and i loose power ongoing problem! i was doing 70 mph down the freeway when this happened fortunely no one was behind me serious safety issue! i have had it to the dealer x2 two months ago. at first they cleaned the throttle body but could not pin point the problem. the second time i had it there they again could not find the problem. i have researched this online and this is a common problem. no real conclusive answer to why. there needs to be an investigation as this is a serious safety issue!! i am taking my vehicle to another auto mechanic. my vehicle has about 140000 miles however this proble began nearly a year ago but it did not reduce engine power. the problem fixes it self if you shut the truck off and restart. please address!! tressa.johnston@usu.edu | |||

| 2007 gmc yukon slt...stabilitrak failure. this error has popped up as we are operating the vehicle around 7 times. it shuts down and reduces the power to the engine so that the car does not have enough power to get to a safe place out of traffic. imagine driving at 70mph and the vehicle suddenly loses power and you have a massive big rig closing down on your tail with no power to get out if the way! imagine climbing a hill with the vehicle power suddenly reduced with a big rig trying to climb behind you and you have no where to turn off for safety. i am extremely dissapointed in this vehicle with only 127614 highway miles on it. the vehicle was repaired with a differential problem with only 65,000 miles on it. | |||

| The check engine/service stabilitrak/engine power reduced light comes on frequently yet the gmc dealer cannot pinpoint the problem. potentially a connection to recall of cars equipped with heated windshield washer fluid feature. did detect a slight odor shortly after using the windshield washer fluid and the indicator lights started flashing and the car slowed down considerably on the highway during inclement weather. thus far nothing has corrected the problem; we are hoping to get the car back to our home state so the dealer can work on resolving this hazard. *tr | |||
