It is just like the the service bulletin out for the 2006 and later gmc sierra except it’s for a 2004 gmc Yukon slt 4x4 4.8L. It is going into reduced engine power mode and it has to do with the throttle actuator control module. Throws code P2108
My kids and I was on the interstate and all of sudden my yukon reduce engine power.Dropping to 30 in a speed zone of 70.I was very afraid for our safety and appreciate there concerns for reducing engine power to save the truck,but that's very dangerous. So I paid to replace the throttle body and gas pedal cause that was the codes for the problem. But it's still doing the same thing and I don't have money to keep buying parts.Plus it a gm problem and I really need some help with the fixture..
Gm ignition switch recall: GMC refuses to honor the recall and fix this issue on both my suv's. I can't be part of the class action until these repairs have been made, what a scam. I own 2 GMC yukon's slt and both qualify for the recall which I was never notified of from GMC. Neither car ever got repaired. The manufacture and local dealerships refused to do the repairs at no cost. This IS after I paid these [xxx] over $1000 to fix this problem on one of my suv's many years ago which did not get fixed because they claim they couldn't find what was wrong with my suv's but they knew all along. I want gm to honor their legal obligations and fix my suv's faulty ignition system. I only found out that there was a recal from the class action attorneys. Gm never notified me of any recalls ever!! please help. Thank you.

Rusted brake lines (both) rusted and failed at a critical time putting motorist in dangerous situation at time of failure. Exiting highway at posted speed with few options on how to stop vehicle.
I was on my way home from work. I ended up getting just a few rain drops so I click my wiper switch one time, it didn't come on. ( puzzled ) so I repeated to get to water off window ,1 click at a time the wipers didn't come on until I was at high. Of course , now they are on high and rain IS gone, now I can't get the blades to stop in the off position. well, I had to pull over I couldn't concentrate on what just happened to my wipers? As well as drive. This happened on july 10, 2019. I've called GMC a couple times, 1ST time they just closed next time I didnt transfer to service dept . I just think , there should be something to notify you , I just happened to get home before the storm hit. I was on a county road when it happened. Thank you for your time.
Trying to stop slowly and ABS system move my yukon to a point I almost hit the car in front of me. It happens when I try to stop under 10 miles per hour. also 2WD drive drops to 4WD on highway and lose power. This IS dangerous on the highway.
While traveling at highway speed and rounding a blind curve the traffic ahead had stopped due to a crash. I had to brake harder than normal and the brake pedal just kept depressing further and further until it was all the way to the floor. I wasn't stopping near fast enough and had to veer to the left into the median to avoid making contact with anyone else. It was raining and as I looked under my truck to look for why my brakes were ineffective but couldn't see anything at that time. I chose to try to drive home not sure why I had the problem stopping. The next day was dry and I had my brother pump the brakes while I look underneath and found numerous places where the brake lines were rusting at an alarming rate and one location where the rusted line failed. I repaired the leak I had found and when I tried to bleed the brakes from that repair I would begin an unending run of leaks up and down the metal brake lines for both the front and rear. This yukon has around 260K miles but those brake lines shouldn't be rusting through like they are. I have had more than 15 tahoes, yukons, yukon xls, suburbans, and pickup trucks from gm and never have I had such a run of brake failures as this 2004 model yukon was now going through. Gm says this IS normal maintenance but how can one even see if a failure IS occurring as many of these lines are concealed by the frame, chassis, and body. I have spoken to other owners of similar vehicles, be it pickups or tahoe's or suburbans of the 2000 to 2006 model years and nearly all have complained of chronic body rust issues but more importantly brake failures from brake lines rusting and then blowing out without warning. Many also cited that of the lines that are visible to inspect they would appear to be ok but just out of view one would have a sudden blow out with no way to see or know there was a problem since the lines are concealed.
Actuators stopped functioning properly to control a/c and heat in vehicle when turned on. If a/c IS turned on, it may run for awhile then turn to heating cycle on one side of the vehicle or the other. This happens whether the vehicle IS in motion or not. If heat IS called for in winter, i.e. To defrost windows, the heat may or may not run or if running may turn to a/c. Many times in winter the heat turns to a/c and there IS no heat entering the vehicle. Noted there were numerous GMC vehicles with the same issue as late as 2015 when looking on the internet.
TL* the contact owns a 2004 GMC yukon. The contact stated that the service brake booster warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to brown automotive center (2520 veterans blvd, del rio, tx) and the contact was informed that nhtsa campaign number: 05v043000 (service brakes, hydraulic) had previously been performed and any more repairs would be at the contact's expense. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the vehicle did not have the same kind of braking assembly as listed in the recall. The manufacturer was contacted regarding the issue and the case was escalated several times, but no further action was taken. The failure mileage was approximately 247,118. *Tt consumer stated gm charged to repair updated 8/14/18*jb
Speedometer sticks at highway speeds and registers at least 20 mph higher than actual speed and needle fluctuates so you can not tell how fast you are going. fuel gauge IS inaccurate. Both are safety concerns. at 120,000 miles I am beyond gm's extended warranty. should be recalled and fixed.
TL* the contact owns a 2004 GMC yukon. While the vehicle was in park, the rear air conditioner stopped blowing air. The contact, who was an independent mechanic, diagnosed that the electrical connection located behind a plastic panel in the hood latch was overheated by the electrical wires. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not remedied. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.
TL* the contact owns a 2004 GMC yukon. While moving from the park position, the brake system disable warning indicator illuminated. The brake pedal was depressed, but failed to operate. The emergency brakes also failed to operate. The contact stated that there was brake fluid evident under the front of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the brake line was extremely corroded. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 04v045000 (service brakes, hydraulic). The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 152,000.
TL* the contact owns a 2004 GMC yukon. While the vehicle was stationary, water entered the hvac system and caused the blower resister module to corrode. As a result, the wiring harness heated up, which could have potentially caused a fire in the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 145,000.
While driving down road at approximately 45 mph, hit the brakes when a couple of deer jumped onto road and the pedal went to floor with no braking action at all. had enough time to realize what had happened and hit the parking brake in time before reaching intersection to busy highway. inspection afterward showed brake fluid on the frame near the driver side door where the proportioning valve IS located. there was no warning of the failure and had been driving the vehicle around town most of the day. have experienced brake failures on vehicles before and always had half the system remain operational enough to stop without problem. this appears to have been a single failure mode that caused the loss of braking or a simultaneous failure of multiple systems which should be unlikely but seems to happen with improbable regularity based on complaints posted.
Engine losing coolant, with no apparent signs of leakage. coolant appears to be leaking into the engine oil, causing it to sludge, thereby causing engine failure. gm IS aware of an issue and issued tsb 06-06-01-019b for defective cylinder head casting. I bought this car used last year and now owe 10000 for a car that needs a 6000 engine replacement. Gm should be made accountable for this since they are well aware of the issue, per their own directive.
