Maybe time for a little alignment or a bad hub going out so its hard to catch traction

SOURCE: 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 50,644 miles check

This problem seems to be the ECM (computer) to have so many things acting up at the same time. Did it all start at the same time? Its possible that you can reset the ECM by removing the hot and ground cables, wait about 15 minutes and then replace them, may fix the problem, may only temporarily fix the problem if the ecm is bad or something is setting a code to cause this. It sounds as if it is running in limp mode. Have it tested at the nearest parts store. They should be able to decipher the problem.

Testimonial: "Thank you....everything did start at one time How much do you think it will cost to have it repaired"

Possible causes for Service Traction Control notice on dash. 2008 GMC Acadia 2 wheel drive v6

Traction control issues are usually a bad reading for a wheel speed sensor. If you have the computer scanned it should tell you where it is registering an error.

The traction control light doesn't come on, seat belt light is flashing even when fastened and the transmission temp doesn't show up on 2010 gmc sierra

Sounds like some fuses need to be replaced. Also the sensors on these newer vehicles go come on for no reason. Try to have the sensors replaced or reset.

1995 gmc sierra 1500 automatic transmission idles fast, and late shifts

Do you have a service engine light on? If so the first thing to do would be to check for what codes may be stored.
You can also check for vacuum leaks. A good place for a leak is the TB base gasket. Those start to leak and give a fast idle.
As for the late shifts, just about all you can do is check fluid level. The shifts are computer controled. 93+ trucks have the 4L60E. Not even a TV cable to check adjustment on.
Fix the fast idle and the late shifts issue may go away.
