I AM CONCERNED THAT GMC IS NEGLECTING A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE CAR FIRES. I CALLED GMC 800)462-8782 AND SPOKE WITH STACY WHAPLES TODAY. SHE WAS NOT THE LEAST CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A REPEAT PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. THE ORIGINAL A/C DELCO WAS REPLACED ON THIS NEW VEHICLE AROUND 1 1/2 YEARS AND AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE 2 3/4 YEARS LATER. WHY IS IT A 6 YEAR WARRANTY IF YOU CANNOT EVEN GET HALF OF THAT OUT OF IT SAFELY. AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT GMC SAID I AM NOT ELIGIBLE FOR ANY WARRANTY REGARDLESS IF …

I PURCHASED A 2002 GMC YUKON XL 2 DAYS AGO, SOLD "AS IS" WITH NO WARRANTY. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SPEEDOMETER ARE THE LIGHTS THAT INDICATE THE POSITION OF THE SHIFTER (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, OVERDRIVE, AND GEARS 3,2 AND 1) AND ALSO THE ODOMETER READING. THESE INDICATOR LIGHTS WORKED FINE DURING THE TEST DRIVE BUT BECAME INTERMITTENT ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON XL 1500. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A FAILURE WITH THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATOR.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY GOES INTO REDUCE ENGINE POWER MODE AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND GOING UP A HILL WHERE IT NEARLY CAUSED A THREE CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS. BASIC RESEARCH SHOWS THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE THE VEHICLES WERE A FEW YEARS OLD AND IT AFFECTS MANY YEARS OF GM VEHICLES. THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH BAD GROUNDING CONNECTORS RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND AND WIRING HARNESS.
