NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2022 GMC Yukon. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost automotive power. The hazard lights, collision, road traction, and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the cam lobe and cylinder #6 lifter had failed, and the lifter and camshaft needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 82,000.
Good afternoon, I am submitting this complaint to report a serious and potentially life-threatening safety issue involving my 2022 GMC Yukon Denali. While traveling northbound on State Road 417 (toll road) in Florida, approaching Exit 45, I was driving approximately 75 mph when, without any warning, the vehicle suddenly shifted itself into neutral. A message immediately appeared on the dashboard instructing me to press the start button, and the vehicle rapidly lost power and began to decelerate in the middle lane of a high-speed highway. This sudden loss of power created an extremely dangerous situation that could have easily resulted in a major collision. Vehicles behind me were traveling at highway speeds, and I had no ability to safely maintain speed or predict the failure. The lack of warning makes this issue especially concerning, as there was no opportunity to take preventive action. After the incident, I contacted OnStar for assistance. The vehicle was towed to Carl Black GMC, where the service advisor confirmed that the engine requires a full replacement. A complete engine failure occurring suddenly at highway speeds, without warning, is not just a mechanical issue—it is a critical safety hazard. This type of failure puts not only the driver but also passengers and surrounding motorists at serious risk of injury or death. It is deeply concerning that a vehicle of this age and caliber would experience such a catastrophic failure. Issues like this must be addressed immediately, as they have the potential to cause severe accidents if they continue to occur without warning. I strongly urge that this matter be investigated thoroughly and that appropriate action be taken to ensure that other drivers are not placed in similar dangerous situations. I was fortunate that my children were not in the vehicle at the time of this incident. The outcome could have been far worse. Please let me know if additional information is required.
The telematics module aka OnStar, doesn’t not work.
Monday, March 30, 2026 my GMC Yukon Denali had already had the recall pico test and was told it passed on September 2025 six months later March 30, 2026, driving to pick up my wife from work a tapping sound coming from the engine started and about a mile down the road from when I first heard the tapping the engine started juttering and the noise got louder like a clunking sound. I had to pull off the road into a gas station and use the OnStar to get assistance the vehicle was towed to a local San Antonio dealership Cavender Buick West they gave me a loaner vehicle the next morning and the day after that Wednesday I was informed that yes they confirmed the engine will have to get replaced so now I am waiting for that. I was told by the dealer it could take up to two months for them to receive a replacement engine and once they receive the engine, it can take roughly for maybe five days for turnaround. I inquired whether the replacement engine isn’t upgraded engine or is it the same engine that has all the problems I haven’t received an answer for that yet. I am awaiting that answer from my service advisor. He said he is looking into that.
While driving on the interstate at highway speed, the vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and stalled. I was forced to pull over. After stopping, the vehicle displayed a message to restart, but it would not start. All electronic accessories (lights, dash, etc.) remained functional, but the vehicle would not shift into drive or neutral. The message “Conditions Not Correct for Shift” appeared. Nearly rear ended, this created a dangerous situation due to loss of power in active traffic and inability to move the vehicle on a 250,000 vehicle per day very busy tollway.
While driving my 2022 GMC Yukon Denali at interstate highway speed, the engine suddenly failed without any prior warning. At the time of the incident, the vehicle had approximately 65,000 miles. There were no warning lights illuminated before or during the failure. The engine immediately began running rough, produced abnormal knocking/ticking noise, and then completely lost power. This created a dangerous situation, as I was traveling at highway speed and suddenly could not maintain speed with surrounding traffic. I had to quickly maneuver out of traffic and safely reach the shoulder to avoid a potential accident. Due to the complete loss of engine power, the vehicle was inoperable and had to be towed from the scene. The vehicle has been properly maintained and has not had any prior mechanical issues. I contacted a dealership, but as of now, the vehicle has not yet been inspected or diagnosed. Based on the symptoms, the failure appears consistent with a lifter-related engine issue reported in similar vehicles. The sudden and complete loss of power without warning presents a serious safety concern.
I took this vehicle in for the recall that GM had indicated. The vehicle was taken to a GMC dealer and “passed” the PICO test and the oil was changed out as recommended. Two weeks ago, the engine completely seized while driving in the interstate and was towed back to the dealership. I am now waiting on engine replacement after passing their solution. The car has roughly 30,000 miles on it.
My transmission control valve failed while I was driving causing my speed to reduce on a high speed high. I know longer could go in reverse, about 35mph or above 2nd gear. This is a known issue on the 10 speed transmission for 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon however my vin number was not included in the recall but it happened to me. This was a terrifying situation and i am so shocked as to why my vehicle was not included in the recall to begin with.
While driving my 2022 GMC Yukon with approximately 150,000 miles, the engine suddenly began running rough and I immediately pulled over. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. The dealer diagnosed a collapsed lifter and camshaft damage and recommended full engine replacement at a cost of about 9,450. The vehicle had no prior engine issues and most miles are highway miles. Sudden engine failure while driving creates a potential safety hazard due to loss of power. I am reporting this because I understand there are ongoing investigations into GM V8 engine failures and I believe this failure may be related.
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 22V617000 (SEAT BELTS), 25V274000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING), and 22V903000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). The vehicle was serviced under Customer Satisfaction Program: N242436631. However, the failure occurred. The contact stated that after the serial data gateway module was updated, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart with the key fob, and the doors failed to unlock with the key fob. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer; however, the dealer refused to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 177,000.
Gateway system module failed during the L87 recall service.The major L87 recall (ECM update) is a major, high-load software update that frequently causes the Gateway Module to "brick" or stop communicating during the update process resulting in failed module immediately following the service. (TSB) speak to this, The L87 recall is a safety-critical repair, a failure of a module directly caused by this repair should be covered under a recall warranty or GM warranty. Safety can be affected as warning lights will not work due to this failure. Timeline of events. As soon as warranty service was completed before leaving bay lights were not working like Onstar etc, app wouldnt connect to car, 1-2 hours after leaving service engine light came on in car. Never had an engine light on before. Took back to dealer who said it was a computer issue they corrected it. 2 hours later engine light was back on. My car has been at the dealer since Monday when they called to say the GSM had internal failure and wanted to charge me to replace it despite this internal failure being in response to the warranty service that was provided, There are Technical service bulletins about this issue, this has been a known issue with GM vehicles, My timeline shows strong evidence that the failure is a direct result of the recall repair. There is GM TechLink documentation that these modules can be ruined if the update process creates a high load. GM needs to extend the GSM repair/recall or extend coverage for this repair when this happens. This is just another thing GM is not taking responsibility for.
Vehicle: GMC Yukon Denali Model Year: (insert) Engine: 6.2L L87 Mileage at Failure: 44,000 Failure Date: February 18, 2026 Recall: GM 6.2L Engine Failure Recall (crankshaft/bearing defect leading to propulsion loss) Complaint Summary: Complete engine failure and total loss of propulsion on a high-speed highway on-ramp with my family inside, causing extreme danger and emotional trauma. Full Description: On February 18, 2026, my GMC Yukon Denali experienced a sudden and complete loss of propulsion while we were on the on-ramp to a high-speed, heavy-traffic expressway. The engine failed without warning as traffic was accelerating rapidly around us. My husband, my [XXX] son, and I were all in the vehicle on our way to celebrate my son’s birthday. Instead, the vehicle died in one of the most dangerous locations possible — the merge zone of a busy highway — leaving us stranded with cars coming at full speed. Traffic immediately began backing up for a long stretch behind us. Drivers were honking, yelling, and aggressively swerving because the lane was blocked by our stalled vehicle. The situation felt chaotic and frightening. I genuinely believed we were at risk of being rear-ended at highway speed. We felt helpless waiting for police to arrive to protect us. The emotional distress, panic, and fear for my family’s safety were overwhelming. My son was shaking and visibly upset on what was supposed to be his birthday celebration. None of us felt safe until law enforcement was able to block traffic. After the incident, the dealership confirmed that the failure was caused by the GM L87 engine defect currently under recall and stated that the engine needed to be completely replaced. This sudden stall created a severe safety hazard that could have easily resulted in a catastrophic crash, injury, or worse. It has had a lasting emotional impact on me and my family.

The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the computer system malfunctioned, causing the instrument cluster to turn off unintendedly. Additionally, the doors failed to immediately unlock, and the driver’s side mirror could not be adjusted. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 22,000.
When initially turning the vehicle on for the day and turning on the heater, the cabin fills up with exhaust fumes odor. This also happens while the car is idling and not moving. Have taken it to the dealership and they do not know how to proceed or what is wrong with it.
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.
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 consuming approximately 25 percent of the engine oil. The vehicle was not repaired, and the contact was referred to a dealer for assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact was informed that an additional oil consumption test was needed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 87,000.
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in the dealer for a recall repair for the traction control module and a systems update, the contact stated that the ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control (ESC) systems became disabled. The dealer was notified of the failure after the repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 58,000.
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 through the app, as all communication capabilities are currently disabled.
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 checked it out and did find that the motor needed to be replaced. We just had the SUV in the dealership on October 2025 and they found no need for a new motor, just a change in the oil viscosity.
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. The vehicle stalled while driving on a highway mountain overpass with multiple vehicles traveling behind me. When the stall occurred, the vehicle shifted into park and would not restart for several minutes. This created a hazardous situation due to loss of propulsion in active traffic at highway speed and limited shoulder space. Following diagnosis, the servicing dealer determined that the engine wiring harness requires full replacement due to internal wiring integrity issues affecting critical engine control signals. The crankshaft position sensor and related wiring are essential for engine timing and propulsion. Loss or corruption of this signal can result in reduced engine power, erratic transmission behavior, stalling, or no-start conditions. The earlier erratic shifting behavior appears consistent with conditions described in GM Technical Service Bulletin 21-NA-149, which identifies engine harness-related causes for drivetrain and shifting concerns. This issue appears to involve degradation or defect within the engine wiring harness affecting engine management and transmission operation. Given that this condition resulted in a highway stall and temporary inability to restart, I am reporting this for investigation as a potential safety-related defect involving loss of propulsion.
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 was in park, it shut off and I was unable to get it started again. Received multiple codes (key fob battery needs replacing, battery low, etc.) while stuck on the side of the interstate for several hours until I was able to get it towed (at a charge of $500) to my dealership. It then sat in the parking lot for 3 days for diagnosis pending TAC deciding whether to tear the engine down or replace it. It was determined to meet the recall qualifications and the dealership has ordered a replacement engine and was told they would start at a estimated 4 week repair time but would probably take closer to 6-8 weeks. Dealership has provided a rental at no cost to me but did not refund my towing costs associated with the repair.
Original inspection and recall was performed on my 6.2 engine on 12/02/25 and the engine failed on 1/15/26 , the vehicle is in the shop awaiting new Engine
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 wasn’t towing anything or going uphill) combined by the fact that the dealership previously gave this vehicle a clean bill of health makes me have no confidence in the road worthiness of this vehicle.
My vehicle has experienced total engine failure. The first time occurred in 2024. The dealership replaced the engine with a new one. It has now failed for the second time. This time I nearly crashed as the vehicle went from 65mph to 0mph in 5 seconds. There was no warning and my vehicle is serviced regularly by the dealer I bought it from. The dealer has not yet responded with how they will resolve this issue.
In September of 2025 my 2022 GMC Yukon AT4 6.2L V8 passed the test for the 25V-274 recall. The dealer did necessary fix with the higher viscosity oil. As of January 6th my Yukon has been in the shop with engine failure. My Yukon needs a new engine, so clearly the fix with using higher viscosity oil did not work.
My vehicle was part of the GM Engine recall. Took it to dealer to see if the vehicle passed, it did. Now, engine has 0w40 oil in it about 1,000 miles later, just at 50,000 miles the truck had a catastrophic engine failure.
Filling this vehicle with diesel fuel per the manufacturer's user manual instructions results in a fuel leak centered between the rear wheels from somewhere at the top of the fuel tank. This has occurred during almost all fuel fill-up stops over the last year. The local dealer could not find the problem. A similar issue occurred with the 2021 diesel Yukon which has the same fuel tank as verified by part number. This was quietly remedied under warranty by the manufacturer.
The OnStar module in my 2022 Yukon Denali has failed impacting the speed limit detection system, compass, blind spot detection system, lane change assistance, navigation and wireless service. It just suddenly stopped working without any notice.
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.
I am reporting a paint failure issue on my 2022 GMC Yukon involving significant paint peeling above the windshield area.
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power. The check engine and traction sensor warning lights were illuminated. The accelerator pedal was depressed, and there was a popping sound coming from the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The vehicle was coasted to the side of the road, and then the vehicle was towed to a local dealer. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the lifters and engine sensors had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The dealer was notified of the recall, and the contact was informed that the dealer was waiting for a response from the manufacturer regarding the recall repair. The dealer later advised that an attempt to rebuild the engine was planned. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
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 was driving down a busy highway during holiday traffic and the vehicle went into neutral and would not start, we immediately turned the flashing lights on, unrolled the windows and began to show distress to ensure we were not hit by passing cars. We made it to safety and called Onstar for assistance, on this occurrence due to the vehicle not starting we were unable to get the vehicle back in to the neutral position to be able to roll the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to Bob Johnsons GMC due to the Thanksgiving holiday, the vehicle was brought in 11/28/2025, and deemed to need another engine replacement. On November 28th I called to file a claim with General Motors and was called back by Stephanie on November 29th and was told they would get back to me if they had any options as now this is the 3rd engine replacement. On December 3rd, a new woman called also named Stephanie and advised me they were still undergoing options, as I requested a Buy Back with Trade Assistance. On December 9th, my final call from General Motors advisor Stephanie, I was told I do not qualify for a buy back because I placed too many miles on the vehicle between engine failures. The vehicle was out of service from 11/26/26-12/29/26 for engine replacement. On [XXX] 2 weeks and 4 days after the vehicle going back into service, the engine failed again, only driving approximately 245 miles. I am currently waiting on the 4th engine replacement with no updates. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
My 2022 GMC Yukon with the 6.2L V8 engine is covered under recall 25V274000 for connecting rod and crankshaft defects that can cause engine failure. Approximately three months ago, Wiesner GMC dealership performed the recall inspection and stated the vehicle passed. Recently, the engine suddenly began misfiring on cylinder 6. The failure was sudden and severe—the vehicle started shaking significantly, the check engine light illuminated, and multiple safety sensors began deactivating. The vehicle was clearly unsafe to drive. An independent repair shop diagnosed oil leaking into the cylinder and stated the condition is consistent with internal engine component failure—the same type of defect the recall is meant to address. When I contacted the dealership to have it re-evaluated, they stated my vehicle is no longer under standard warranty and I would be responsible for repairs. After escalating to GM customer service, they confirmed extended coverage exists under Special Coverage N252494003 (10 years/150,000 miles) if the diagnostic confirms the issue is related to the recall defect. The fact that my vehicle passed the recall inspection three months ago and is now exhibiting the exact failure symptoms the recall was designed to prevent raises concerns that the inspection procedure may not be detecting all affected engines. The component (engine) is available for inspection. This defect poses a serious safety risk as the sudden loss of power and deactivation of safety systems could cause a crash.
The engine (6.2L L87 V8) failed at approximately 85,000 miles. The failure was diagnosed as internal engine damage and the engine assembly was replaced. The failed engine is available to the manufacturer through the dealer as part of the repair process. The failure resulted in a complete loss of propulsion at highway speeds on the interstate, requiring immediate deceleration and maneuvering to a safe location, which created a safety risk to occupants and surrounding traffic. The condition was confirmed by a GM dealer using diagnostic procedures, including a Pico scope test, which verified internal engine failure. The engine was replaced under GM safety recall / special coverage related to L87 engine failure. The vehicle was inspected and repaired by an authorized GM dealership as part of the recall remedy. Prior to failure, there were no warning lights or messages. The only symptom was increasing engine noise and knocking from the lower end shortly before the loss of power. Failure occurred during normal driving conditions with proper maintenance. No crash, fire, or injury occurred.
6.2 Liter Engine failed at 34,000 miles. The engine failure was confirmed by Luther Brookdale GMC in Brooklyn Center Minnesota. They said the engine failed and replaced it with a new 6.2L engine as part of the recall. No warning lights, or indication of failure, some very minor noises were coming from the engine. It did not fail on the highway, but at the dealer but could have killed my family if it happened on the highway.
My 2022 Yukon with the 6.2 engine locked up on a mountain highway in Wyoming. There were no prior symptoms — the engine suddenly lost power and shifted into neutral, forcing me to pull over. The biggest issue was that once the vehicle stopped, it couldn’t be shifted into neutral, which could have caused a secondary collision. The dealer who sold the vehicle didn't treat this seriously and sold as inspection passed vehicle.
There was an engine recall on the vehicle that was inspected and passed. My wife noticed the vehicle shaking while she was driving and the engine mounts ended up being broken. They replaced the engine mounts and they had it up on the lift when they reported that engine failed. They replaced the motor and gave the vehicle back to us. About 2 weeks later my wife noticed a grinding. She took it in and they said the differential needed to be flushed. That would be at our cost. Then they did that and it did not fix the issue. So they determined it was the rear differential that needed to be replaced. We got the car back after another 2 weeks and it was fine for about 2 weeks. My wife noticed another grinding and we turned it in before the warranty expired and now they have to replace the rear struts. All in all over the last 6 months the car has been in the shop for at least 2 months getting repairs because of major catastrophic failures in their components.
My vehicle continues to consume oil. It consumes approximately 1 quart of oil every 1 thousand miles. As a Retired/Disabled Veteran this has become a safety concern for me and my family as I'm concerned this vehicle will leave us stranded.
Unknown
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of oil. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed, and metal shavings were found in the engine oil. The dealer replaced the camshaft and lifters; however, the failure worsened. The contact stated while driving approximately 65-70 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost power steering functionality. The contact's husband was able to pull over to the side of the road. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart and was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then picked up and diagnosed by the dealer. The dealer determined that the engine had seized and needed to be replaced. The contact had opened a case with the manufacturer for buyback assistance due to safety concerns. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000.
This is a follow-up to two previous complaints. The first complaint was filed around 5/22/25, and the second complaint was filed around 7/08/25. The complaint is related to a 2022 GMC Yukon that we purchased new. As reported in the previous complaints, we experienced several problems with the suspension and steering of the vehicle. The SUV continues to have a knocking, cracking, snapping noise coming from the front suspension when making a right or left turn, or u-turn. The dealer has made several attempts to fix it, but continues to occur. The warning lights continue to be set on and off, but not as often. The infoentertainment system as well. One of the other reported issues was the low oil warning light coming up and thus oil consumption. The SUV was taken to the dealer on 9/11/25, and the GMC service staff reported the SUV, during the summer hot days, was 1.9, almost two quarts. They asked to drive the SUV for an additional 2000 miles, and it was short by .9 quart. GMC claimed it is normal, but per their recommendations on oil changes, the vehicle would be 7 quarts between oil changes unless the driver checks the level every 1500 to 2000 miles. Not only was the information misleading as they denied to perform any services, but also is a safety concern for the damages it can cause to the vehicle, especially if it goes on safety mode. Around 7/24/25, we submitted a request for a buy-back to GM, which they approved 30 days later; however, they still have not made good on the promise, and the vehicle remains with these safety, operational, and mechanical issues.
I WAS DRIVING ON HYW 64 IN CASHIERS, NC 28717 ON AUGUST 25, 2025 AT AROUND 4:30 PM AND MY 2022 GMC YUKON DENALI JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART IT SO I WAS NOT ABLE TO MOVE IT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. SOMEONE PASSING BY CALLED 911 SO LOTS OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES ARRIVED. THE MEN TRIED TO SWITCH THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL SO IT COULD BE TOWED AND FINALLY WERE ABLE TO DO THAT READING SOMETHING IN THE MANUAL ABOUT HITTING THE START BUTTON TWICE. WHILE BEING PUT ON THE FLATBED IF THE TOW TRUCK I NOTICED THE TIRES WERE NOT ROLLING, JUST SLIDING FORWARD. IT IS BEING TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALER AN HOUR AWAY.

Vehicle lost propulsion driving down the interstate. Already on the 2nd motor
The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH with her family inside the vehicle, there was an abnormal tapping sound coming from the engine compartment, with the traction control and Forward Collision Avoidance warning lights illuminated. Additionally, the "Service ESC", "Forward Collision Avoidance System Unavailable", and "Service Traction Control" flashed on the instrument panel. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was determined that the gaskets, bolts, rods, lifters, camshaft valve, valve actuator, and engine seals needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The on star module no longer working. This is a safety feature included in the manufacturing of the vehicle.
On 5/22/2025, I filed a complaint with NHTSA, complaint number 11662650. In the complaint, I reported issues regarding safety concerns that began around October 2023 and were shortly after reported to GMC. Some of the reported issues were concerns with oil consumption due to warning lights coming on; parking warning sensors intermittently coming on; and what appears to be suspension issues as there continues to be a knocking, cracking, and snapping noise coming from the front suspension when making a left or right turn, along with a bumping when in motion, among other issues such as Infotertainment that continues to be an issue. Recently, we took our SUV to a GMC authorized dealer since it was still under warranty and these issues continued to persist and it is getting worse. The vehicle was left around 5/28/25 and picked up on 6/17/25. However, less than a couple of weeks after, we started experiencing the same issues with the suspension as the knocking, cracking, snapping, and bumping is getting more obvious and worse, and it appears is affecting the steering and alignment of the SUV. Please update this information as there is a major concern with safety of the vehicle. Attached are some of the service records related to these issues. Should you need any additional information, please advise. Thank you.
1. The engine is malfunctioning, leading to excessive oil consumption and random shutdowns.
