I have a 2007 Yukon XL SLT 5.3 Flex Fuel and have every problem out on the complaint list. Fuel pump twice, oil add every 1000 miles etc. Now I have the cylinder problem where they are not firing at the proper percentages. Question is, is this a known GMC issue with this motor. It sure seems like a lot of people having the same problems. I think the design is flawed and all of the GMC Dealer Service departments are just fixing and forgetting the problems. They have no interest in taking a holistic view seeing the systemic problem and acting on the behalf of a customer with GMC. I am contacting a lawyer specializing in consumer product defects. I paid 54K for this thing and if its defective I want it fixed at the manufacturer's expense.

I've taken my 2007 Yukon to several shops around town including the dealership. They all have said that the lifters have gone out. This was a shock to me considering that this truck still has a lot of life left before any major work such as this needs to be replacing. So the shop said that they will look into this to confirm. I received a call from them today (10/31/13) and they said not only the lifters were bad but it needs a new CAM shaft. They suggested that with the amount of work, I should strongly consider purchasing a new motor.
A NEW MOTOR!!!? Are you serious!!!!!! I could not believe what I was hearing. I cannot afford a new motor to purchase. I looked online to see if there has been problems reported with GMC motors and noticed that there are A LOT OF ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS with GMC products. I cannot believe there isn't a RECALL on these vehicles.
GMC has really let me down in not standing behind their name. I'm VERY DISAPPOINTED in GMC and I will not purchase another GMC product in life if they do not do a RECALL for this problem. I'm sure the media will have a field day with this and will call them to the carpet on these issues. GMC, I strongly request a RECALL these vehicles to correct the problems that you have created to keep your customers happy and returning for business.
