NHTSA Complaint #11359816 — 2007 GMC YUKON XL

WHILE DRIVING THE STABILITRAK OFF LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THIS HAS SHUT DOWN MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY 4 TIMES. ODDLY, WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF AND THE CODES WOULD GO AWAY TEMPORARILY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND CABLES, WHICH I DID ON 7/17/20 AND 7/31/20. HOWEVER, ON MY LAST TRIP I HAD TO GET TOWED BACK TO MY HOME ON 09/01/20 FOR THE SAME REASON AS I WAS STRANDED ON A HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO A FUNERAL FOR A FAMILY FRIEND. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I CAN'T LET MY WIFE OR KIDS USE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS SO RANDOMLY. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THAT IT IS A MYSTERY TO THEM AS THEY HAVE CALLED THEIR GMC SPECIALTY TECHNICIANS FOR ADVICE. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN FOR THE PAST TWO WEEKS AS THEY TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 MONTHS AGO AND THIS IS UPSETTING. I FINALLY WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF I COULD POSSIBLE FIND A FIX TO RECOMMEND AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE I FOUND SIMILAR STORIES ON THIS WEBSITE "CAR FORUMS/ GMC/ GMC ENVOY XL" . I AM SURPRISED THIS NOT A RECALL. I HAVE PAID OVER $1,500 IN REPAIRS. CHANGED SENSORS ON TIRES THAT SUSPECT WEREN'T THE ISSUE SINCE THE INDICATOR LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I WORK FOR STATE FARM INSURANCE AND I AM AWARE OF THE DANGERS OF HAVING HAZARDOUS CARS ON THE ROAD. I ALSO WORK CLOSELY WITH THE INSTITUTES OF HIGHWAY SAFTEY AND THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I LOG THIS COMPLAINT. HERE IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER. [XXX]. HOW CAN I GET THIS LOGGED AS A RECALL AND GET MY MONEY BACK FOR REPAIRS OR THE PRICE OF THE VEHICLE, IF GMC CAN'T GUARANTEE A REPAIR? I HAVE ATTACHED THE CABLE AND ENGINE CONTROL MODULE REPAIR INVOICES THAT VERIFY THE COMPLAINT. I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF.
