2010 GMC YUKON Engine Problems

Valve spring snapped clear in half inside the engine while driving on the highway. This caused me to be stranded on the side of the road in the middle of the Arizona desert with my two dogs in the heat. Thankfully I did not lose control of the vehicle. No warning signs whatsoever until out of nowhere- vehicle check engine light started flashing as well as 'service stabiltrak' and 'traction control disabled'. I immediately pulled over. Thankfully I shut off the engine in time to prevent further damage to the pistons. Vehicle was towed and inspected by Holden's Auto Service in Kingman, AZ. Valve spring broke clean in half and was given to me after valve spring was replaced. Compression tests were performed after valve spring replacement. engine was run until warm and normal compression resumed. No other mechanical issues found. Checked for recalls on this vehicle. nothing found related to this.

AT SPEED, MY VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY START JUMPING THEN ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS START TO TURN ON AND OFF AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS TRYING TO TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE STABILLITRACK LIGHT FLASHES AND THE DOOR LOCKS START LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AT A RAPID PACE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THIS IS OUR FAMILY'S PRIMARY VEHICLE IN WHICH MY WIFE USES MOST OF THE TIME. SHE USUALLY IS ACCOMPANIED BY OUR 2 SMALL CHILDREN. WHEN THE ISSUE ARISES, SHE LOOSES SOME CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS UNSAFE!

I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED, MY DAUGHTER TOOK MY 2010 YUKON TO THE LOCAL DEALER (FINDLAY) ON MAY 12, 2016, SHE WAS TOLD ACCIDENT DIDN'T CAUSE THE PROBLEM AND WOULD NEED THE TIRE SENSOR CHECKED AT A COST OF $500.00. YESTERDAY (JUNE 8, 2016) COMING HOME FROM WORK, I WAS TURNING OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY ONTO A RESIDENTIAL STREET (RIVERVIEW) AS I MADE THE TURN THE CARS ABS BRAKE SENSOR LIGHT WENT OFF AND SO DID THE LIGHT AS THOUGH I ON WAS ON ICE, BUT I WAS ON A PAVED ROAD AND SPEED WAS LOW MAYBE 10 MPH, IT WENT OFF ALMOST AS QUICKLY AS IT CAME ON. SO I PROCEEDED, STOP AT A 4 WAY STOP SIGN (RIVERVIEW AND LAKESIDE), WHEN I PROCEEDED ON ALL THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED GOING OFF AND THE POWER AND TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE. I TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY 500 FEET BEFORE THE CAR ENGAGED AND STARTED RUNNING. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND IF SO ARE THERE ANY RESOLUTIONS AND IS ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IN A WEEK I NEED TO TRAVEL 200 MILES TO A DOCTOR AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS IS MAJOR.

I WAS GETTING READY TO PULL OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND BRING MY CHILD TO PRESCHOOL WHEN I NOTICED THERE WASN'T POWER WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. REDUCED ENGINE POWER IS WHAT I READ ON MY DASHBOARD!!!! I RETURNED TO MY GARAGE BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE HIM TO SCHOOL. I AM VERY UPSET!! THIS LOOKS AS IF IT'S AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GMC. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE LOOKED AT, AND I AM WAITING TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I WILL BE JUST AS UPSET IF THERE IS A LARGE OUT OF POCKET COST. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, THERE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM, I WAS JUST FORTUNATE TO BE HOME. *TR
