NHTSA Complaint about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL filed September 12, 2024
NHTSA complaint #2024274 (ODI reference 11614159) concerns a 2023 GMC YUKON XL and was filed on September 12, 2024. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 23, 2024. The report was geocoded to Michigan based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as vehicle speed control, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same GMC YUKON XL cohort independently describe similar vehicle speed control failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2023 GMC YUKON XL shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
