In 2023, the vehicle began exhibiting erratic transmission shifting behavior, including harsh and unpredictable shifts while driving. The vehicle was taken to a GMC dealer for diagnosis and repair. Recently, the vehicle developed additional drivetrain and engine control issues related to the crankshaft position sensor circuit.

On Star module quit working in our Yukon, which in turn makes it useless to have any of the safety features. On Star and GM know this is an ongoing problem, but no recall has been issued. Neither company will repair unless an $1100 fee is paid. Why install On Star if you know it will malfunction. Since there is a monthly service fee I think they need to make sure the vehicle has the correct parts.
Driving normally. Stopped at a red light when the car started to touch idle and proceeded to shut off. Tried to restart the car and when ignition button was pressed the screen and all electronics shut off and there was smoke coming from the engine bay. Police were called and the car was towed to the nearest gmc dealer. Was called today 2/10/2026 with the update that it was going to require a new motor.

The engine threw a rod on January 23, 2026. The vehicle stranded me on the side of the road. We called the dealership which they came and towed back to the dealership. No dashboard warnings at all. Oil pressure was good. I heard a low tick to begin with then a slight squeaking noise. After the engine locked it was an abrupt halt with the wheels locking up but didn't come to a complete stop. The noise was very loud after that and that's when I pulled off the highway. The dealership checke
Windshield wipers stopped working while driving. Once engine turned off, the wires began working again. Additionally, later in the day while driving home the wipers stopped working again. The wipers have not worked since.
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, there was a dripping sound coming from the vehicle, and the low oil warning light was illuminated. The low oil warning light was illuminated approximately every 1,500 miles after an oil change. After each oil change, the level on the oil dipstick was low. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where an oil consumption test was performed. The mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle was consu

I am writing to report a failure of the telematics module in our vehicle. The module stopped functioning without any warning or notification on the dashboard. Our vehicle has only 64,000 miles and has never been involved in an accident, so this failure is unexpected. This issue has resulted in the complete loss of OnStar connectivity, meaning that automatic crash notification would not occur in the event of an accident. Additionally, we are no longer able to remotely unlock or access the vehicle
On 15-Jan-26 (approximately 5 weeks after the vehicle was serviced for the NHTSA #25V274) while doing highway speeds the vehicle suddenly started huffing and loosing propulsion. After the dealership did their initial inspection found that lifters in at least one bank were damaged. The suddenness, the randomness and severity of this unprovoked failure (I wasnât towing anything or going uphill) combined by the fact that the dealership previously gave this vehicle a clean bill of health makes
2022 GMC Yukon AT4 was brought into the dealership for the service recall on the engine. No issues and received the 0W40 "fix". Approximately 4-6 weeks later, I was traveling on the interstate at approx. 75MPH when the truck completely shut down mid-passing with a code stating "conditions for not for shifting" and I was lucky enough to get the truck to the shoulder of the road without being struck by another vehicle as the truck "shifted" to neutral and would not do anything. Once the truck wa
I purchased a Yukon Denali 6.2L in March of 2022 brand new from Bob Johnsons in Rochester NY. On [XXX] at 12,577 miles the engine went through a catastrophic failure, while driving, the vehicle began to make very loud noises. The vehicle was taken to Bob Johnsons GMC 4389 West Ridge Road Rochester, NY 14626. The repair notes #3 main bearing thrust portion had come apart. The vehicle was out of service from 4/3/2023 to 4/19/2023 for engine replacement. On [XXX] at 50,244 miles on the vehicle, I
