I have a 2004 Yukon XL Denali and when ever I make a sharp left turn its like my engine struggles and my traction stabilizer enable shows up on the data screen. Has anybody ever came across this and what could be causing this?
Thanks in advance..

Souds like your stabilizer thinks it's sensing a loss of traction. Your engine is struggling because when a traction loss is sensed it removes power to get traction back. If you're hauling ass in the turn then you're right side tires could be sliding a little due to weight being taken off of them. If it is AWD then the front could be sensing a tire speed disperity due to the tires trying to cut into the turn and slowing down due to the friction. Try taking the turn slower and see if it does the same thing.

I dont have any trouble lights all I get is traction stabilizer enabled. It only happens when I turn left from a complete stop. If I turn sharp from a stop sign or light is when it kicks in.
