I recently purchased a 2002 Yukon XL 1500 4x4...132,000 miles. First day I drove it (online purchase) I discovered a whirring noise from under the console. THe noise whirrs a little bit on accelertaing, but it is worse on letting off the gas at any speed. Of course, I can really hear it when I let off the gas under 45 mph. It will whirr even if I let off the gas at 10 mph. Doesn't really matter what speed. The noise stops instantly when I put it into neutral. Doesn't whirr in park or neutral, moving or stopped. Once I get to the stop sign or red light and stop, the noise quits. It also quits as soon as I apply a little gas. The sound is almost like new tires buzzing on flat asphalt.
Any ideas?
After a week and a half and 4 different reps telling me they are contniuing the escalate my case, GM came back with $0 in assistance....but they did offer free oil changes tire rotations for 2 years....great.
This will be my last GM purchase. Professional Grade? Not so much...
I have a 2007 Yukon XL, 5.3L, 4Wheel drive (rarely used) and I recently took it to my dealer in Las Vegas for strange noises/delays when switching between 2 and 4wheel and engaging the transmission. They said it was the transfer case, it was gone and needed all new guts, fixed under Vehicle One warranty which was due to expire with a few hundred miles! I was happy. 4,000 miles later, Transmission blows up, not repairable they say, needs a new one at $4200! I said you need to talk to Vehicle One, this is related to my complaint when I brought it you 4k miles ago. Vehicle One says no, out of warranty. Service manager is now working his way up the chain within Vehicle One, trying to establish these are related, they need to Goodwill this or do something. But its not looking good.
I have Vehicle One's rep number in the Las Vegas Area, anyone got a winning strategy on getting Vehicle One to just fix it?
[This car was bought at 64K from the servicing dealer, all service there, all the proper scheduled maintenance. I bought a 50K Vehicle One warranty covering me to 114K. All highway miles in 2 wheel drive, 4 or 5 towing trips between Vegas and LA, 4 or 5 times in 4 wheel (no trailer) due to mountain snow]
Solution, I traded it in on an Acura MDX with tow package with add on 120,000 $0 deductible warranty.
Bummer, I loved my truck but it was a money pit!
However, concerning the transmission, the problems with the 4L60E are very well known. One common problem is a check ball that sticks in the separator plate in the valve body causing issues with the 2-4 band that makes it slip and burn up. Other issues in the valve body (and sometimes the sun shell) cause problems with the 3-4 clutch pack too.
Most or all of these problems can be fixed with a Transgo shift kit. It is made to solve exactly these problems. It will NOT fix burned up clutch packs or bands, but if installed while still operating reasonably well, the transmission will probably last 150,000 miles or more. I will be installing this kit ASAP (2-3 hours install time plus some tranny fluid and a filter) and won't worry about it again. If you are reading this thread and wondering what to do, I highly recommend you install the Transgo kit, it is the best way to ensure the longest life of your 4L60E (basically an electronic version of the 700R4).
Full disclosure: I worked for Transgo in the early 80's, but haven't had any contact with them for more than 15 years.

My 2007 Yukon just had a total transmission failure with no warning. This is a vehicle that was maintained at the dealer for everything and in fact the transmission had been serviced recently. It has only 88,000 miles and has never been a tow vehicle. The dealer mechanic told me this is "to be expected" on this vehicle/model and that GM would not give me any help on paying for it. I am very disappointed since I come from a family that has only purchased GM products for my entire life. I will think twice now before purchasing a GM product.
My 2001 Yukon out of nowhere I stoped then took off my rpms would excelerate but it wouldn't pick up speed then I put in reverse it didn't work I turned it off for a few the turned back on reversed worked but when it warmed up it did it again dose anyone have a idea what to do
I posted this in the GMC Electrical issues forum but I'm curious if the source of some of these issues have been found. We have a 2007 Yukon Denali XL. When I come to a stop, my car often slips into neutral. When I try and go again, it either won't go, starts in a much higher gear, or it will start going and won't shift. I've had the transmission valve replaced last year after we had a stuck solenoid. This is only an issue at low speeds or start/stop. Sometimes it won't go into reverse or will be okay in reverse but won't shift into drive. It helps to turn it off and take the key out AND open the driver's door, then restart. The driver's door seems to trigger something that helps it reset.
I called our local GM dealership for an appointment and they told me it was a transmission issue. Since we had poor service from them last time, we opted to go elsewhere. We took it to a well known and reputable transmission shop who did a complete tear-down and they said the transmission is fine. They suspect it's an electrical issue. We are actually having a LOT of electrical issues with the vehicle. So I'm wondering if any of you with suspected transmission issues determined later it was an electrical problem? I can't get anyone at our local GM Dealership to answer or call back and the Chevy dealership can't get us in for a week. They also told us they'd never heard of this and we should just put in a new transmission. I don't want to spend $4000 (the quote for the new transmission) for it to be another issue altogether. Any suggestions? Thanks.
I was involved in an accident, to where I was hit in the rear end ,the vehicle that hit me was under my back bumper, and my spear tire was pushed toward the front, just would like to know if this could have caused this problem.or added to the problem.
Thanks Dglanton
