I TOOK TO DEALERS WAS TOLD ITS MY THROTTLE SENSOR GOT IT REPLACED $$750.00 UGHH THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THEN WHEN I TRY AND TURN IT ON AGAIN IT WILL FLASH TRACTION LIGHT ON AND OFF SO I TURN IT OFF THEN TURN IT ON AND IT GOES AWAY, LATER COMES ON THEN OFF RANDOM TIMES I CHECKED THIS SITE SINCE I SEEN NEWS AND SEEN OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WONT KICK IN ALSO MY FRONT DASH HAS CRACKED ON TOP OF THE ODOMETER AND IT DOES MAKE ME WORRY IF I EVER GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WILL THE DASH SHATTER COMPLETELY?? OTHER THEN THAT I LOVE THIS TRUCK REALLY I DO !! HOWEVER DEAR GM STOP BEING STINGY AND PAY FOR YOUR MISTAKES! *TR

I HAVE JUST READ A FEW OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT AN ISSUE I AM HAVING NOW, AND HAVE HAD 3 TIMES IN THE PAST. WHILE UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, I HAVE HAD MY SUV BECOME VERY SLUGGISH AND DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. LIGHTS COME ON SAY LOSS OF POWER, STABILITRAC PROBLEM ETC. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, I WAS VISITING ORLANDO FLORIDA. I TOOK THE SUV TO A DEALER, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE ECM AND REPROGRAMMED IT. I LEFT BACK THE NEXT DAY FOR ATLANTA. NEARLY 80 MILES AWAY IN OCALA FLORIDA, IT STARTED DOING THIS AGAIN. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK, AND HAD IT TAKEN TO AN OCALA DEALERSHIP. THEY IN TURN TOLD ME IT WAS A BAD ECM, AND AFTER SPENDING AN ENTIRE DAY IN OCALA, I WAS BACK ON MY WAY TO ATLANTA. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, I HAD THIS OCCUR AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN I HAD IT TAKEN TO A DEALERSHIP IN ATLANTA. THEY RAN A COMPUTER DIAGNOSIS ON IT, AND SAID THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS AN ECM PROBLEM, AS THE CODE COMING UP WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR IN THE FLOOR BOARD THAT READS THE DISTANCEOF THE GAS PEDAL FROM THE FLOOR BOARD. AS IT IS A DRIVE BY SENSOR VS DRIVE BY WIRE. THEY REPAIRED THIS, AND ALTHOUGH I FELT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AT THE TIME, THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS THAT WERE SUPPOSEDLY DIAGNOSED WRONG WERE DONE SO WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY ENDED UP CUTTING THE COSTS IN HALF. I HAD NO CHOICE, AS I NEEDED MY VEHICLE BACK. NOW IT HAS OCCURRED THE FORTH TIME. I HAVE RESORTED TO THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHER ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT I'M FINDING THROUGH THIS RESEARCH, IT SOUNDS AS IF MANY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE, AND IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. WHILE RESEARCHING, I WAS ALERTED TO THIS SITE, THUS THE REASON I'M POSTING HERE. MAYBE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AS IT SEEMS THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN, AND GMC IS KEEPING IT UNDER WRAPS. *TR

WHILE FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE ON AN ON RAMP FROM ONE HWY TO ANOTHER, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME DROVE DIRECTLY OVER SOMETHING LAYING IN THE ROAD (STRADDLING THE DEBRIS WITH IT'S TIRES). THIS CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD AND I MADE A QUICK SWERVE/EVASIVE ACTION TO MISS RUNNING OVER WHATEVER IT WAS LAYING IN THE ROAD. ALL OF MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, IT SCARED THE HECK OUT OF ME AND I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED FOR ANOTHER 1/4 MILE OR SO. I CALLED GM TO COMPLAIN AND THEY HAD A SO-CALLED INDEPENDENT INSPECTOR COME OUT AND LOOK AT MY VEHICLE (AT THE TIME IT WAS AT A DEALERSHIP). I RECEIVED A REPORT BACK SAYING THE COMPUTER SENSED A POTENTIAL ROLLOVER. NEVER WAS THERE A POTENTIAL ROLLOVER. I JUST SWERVED TO MISS SOMETHING IN THE ROAD. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OTHERWISE. GM LEFT IT AT THAT. NO OTHER INVESTIGATION WAS DONE. AFTER TWO YEARS, I HAVE YET TO HAVE REPAIRS MADE, BECAUSE IT STILL IRKS ME TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED. *TR

CHROME HAS BEEN PEELING OFF DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE. CUTS MY SKIN. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING ON A 4 LANE HIGHWAY GOING APPROX 55 MPH. I ENDED UP HYDRO PLANNING MY DENALI MAKES A 180 AND I'M FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HIT THE GAS TO GET TO THE EMERGENCY LANE BUT MY ENGINE TURNED OFF. IS THIS NORMAL? *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 70 MPH COMING FROM A SUPERVISION TRAINING CLASS ALONG WITH A CO-WORKER AND THE FOLLOWING SENSOR LIGHTS STARTED APPEARING ON MY DASHBOARD: TRACTION CONTROL OFF, STABILITRAK OFF. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE GM SERVICE AT LEAST TWICE AND PRIVATE REPAIR FACILITIES NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES. IT IS NOW 01-28-2014 AND THE SITUATION CONTINUES AND IS GETTING WORSE. ALONE WITH THE ABOVE ISSUES NOW THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. IT HAS BECOME VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND NO REPAIR FACILITY, GM OR OTHERWISE, KNOWS HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TO DRIVE SO THIS VEHICLE IS WHAT I DRIVE BUT, IT IS DANGEROUS AND GM NEEDS TO FIX IT OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I NEED ANSWERS QUICKLY I FEAR THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS FOR ALL CONCERNED ESPECIALLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS ON A FREEWAY!! *TR
