GMC Yukon XL Normal Oil Usage?

• Fed up with GM for not addressing the Oil/Engine Issue as a RECALL

  Well, I posted on her back in Oct 2010 (#67) regarding our 1st incident with our 2007 GMC Yukon XL 1500 which we had to take in because the engine blew pistons/rods due to chronic low oil levels which were not being addressed/taken quite as serious as needed by the dealer. I was consistently told it wasn't an issue until one day the vehicle began "slipping" as I was traveling with ... Read More

GMC Yukon Reduced Engine Power message

• Traction Control OFF, Reduced Engine Power

  I have 2010 GMC Yukon XL (19K miles). I think no one had problem with the car that new yet on this forum. I was getting off the freeway when I got lights on: first Traction Control Off and then Reduced Engine Power. But instead of reducing the engine power car totally shut down in the middle of the big intersection. I was lucky it did not happened on freeway with ... Read More

GMC Yukon Denali/XL Autoride Suspension

  Cadillac Escalade ESV factory equipped with 22" wheel/tire combo, which has less sidewall (reduced road shock absorption) than what is factory installed on the Denali, and the NEW Escalade (4 miles on the odo) rode butter smooth. Our old 2007 Yukon XL had the same exact tires w/20" rims (factory combo). There's something definitely wrong with the Denali, but GMC hasn't done anything yet to attempt to find the problem - ...

  Old vehicle traded in was the 2007 Yukon XL (premium suspension - not autoride equipped). New vehicle 2010 Yukon XL Denali w/autoride suspension. Upgraded in cost/features - downgraded in suspension/ride quality. Researched parts for Denali vs. Escalade and both are the same (except for Electronic Suspension Control Module - probably to eliminate service department errors when the Tech II is plugged in). Drove a new Escalade ESV. Ride quality is night ... Read More

• 2010 Denali XL

  Written by: bn2cynical on Sep 24, 2010 12:56:43 PM

  Problem with Autoride as it enhances everything driven over to the extent of being physically exhausted when taken on rough highways/roads. Come to a stop and vehicle rocks on tire pressure with no forward weight transfer/front suspension compression. Going over speedbumps it produces delayed front/rear suspension compression (feel a 2nd bump as suspension finally gives). Pulled 30 amp Autoride fuse and conditions go away. Standard 20" factory rims/tires on vehicle. Have ... Read More
