NHTSA Complaint #10532082 — 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI

ON JULY 26, 2013 I WAS IN MY 2007 GMC YUKON DENALI WHEN I HAD AN ISSUE. I WAS IN MY CAR, THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT IT WAS IN PARK. I WAS IDLING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHEN I RECEIVED A "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE CAR OFF AND GAVE IT ABOUT 20 MINUTES BEFORE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AGAIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON WITH THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY "SERVICE STABILITRAC", "STABILITRAC OFF", SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", "TRACTION CONTROL OFF", AND "POWER ASSIST OFF". I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO TRY TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO. AFTER I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD THAT THE SENSOR BEHIND THE GAS PEDAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY REPLACED THE PART FOR ROUGHLY ABOUT $300 AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY WITH ALL OF THE MESSAGES. SINCE THE REPAIR I DROVE THE CAR FOR ABOUT 60 MILES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AGAIN, AND THE CAR SEEMS TO BE FIXED. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER SINCE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW OF US WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR
