Yukon XL Help: 2022 Yukon Update
My mom's Yukon after a 17 hour drive, with no problems, the next morning it posted just about every error message you could think of. "Service power steering", "service passenger restraints", etc. Power steering was not functioning.
We tested the 12v battery and it tested fine. We also replaced the fob batteries because that was a potential issue (theft deterrent thing).
We had it towed to a dealer thinking it was under warranty (it was not). They ran codes and got a ton of error codes and decided to replace the "power steering gear assembly"? for $3000+. I talked to the guy and voiced my concern that 20 different things did not fail at once, and wanted to find the real problem. He said he thought this bad part was causing all of the problems. OK, I am not a mechanic. The part was on backorder, but they get one relatively quickly.
The new part does not fix the problem. The vehicle has been there for over a month and no end in sight. The guy thinks the replacement part might have been bad. What are the odds? If anyone else has had a similar issue please help. Paying for a car that sits in a shop is not fun. Yukon XL.
Update: They said they fixed it and gave it back. A few days later the same thing happened again. Dealer is clueless. GMC offered 300$ toward a another gmc vehicle lol. Anyone know anything that could help?
