TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. AFTER 20 FEET, THE VEHICLE STOPPED. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SHOULDER, AND WAITED APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT NO FAILURE COULD BE IDENTIFIED. THIS WAS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THIS FAILURE. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, MIDAS CHECKED THE BRAKES, BUT ALSO COULD NOT IDENTIFY A FAILURE. THERE IS A RECALL RELATED TO THE FAILURE SHE IS EXPERIENCING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,100. UPDATED 07/29/08.*LJ THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN AT TIMES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REGULATOR AND THE MOTOR.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND THE STABILI-TRAC SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED IN THE DIC, THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WARNING APPEARED IN THE DIC, THEN ENGINE POWER REDUCED BY 16% IN THE DIC. DROVE VEHICLE TO EXIT RAMP AND TURNED ENGINE OFF. VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NO WARNINGS IN THE DIC. THE ENGINE DID NOT HOWEVER RUN SMOOTHLY. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER WHO CLEAR SOME CODES AND REPLACED THE TPS. CHECKED ALL FUSES. NO FURTHER PROBLEM. HOWEVER A FRIEND HAS THE SAME VEHICLE IN A 2010 MODEL. SAME PROBLEM DEALER REPLACED A THROTTLE BODY. CHECK OUT THE GM FORUM AT HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0E807E/0 THIS FORUM SHOWS LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND IN SOME CASES CAUSING ACCIDENTS. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON 1-24-2013, AND SO FAR IT APPEARS THAT MY PROBLEM HAS BEEN RESOLVED, HOWEVER IT APPEARS GM IS NOT REALLY FIXING THE PROBLEM. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THIS FOR THE NEXT OUT OF TOWN TRIP I TAKE. *TR
