POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On [XXX] my spouse was 20 Miles West of Jamestown, ND on [XXX]. Our 2022 GMC suddenly lost power at interstate speed, shifted into neutral. My spouse was able to coast the vehicle to avoid traffic and drift to the shoulder of the road leaving her stranded on the shoulder of the interstate. Vehicle has been towed to nearest GM dealer and diagnosed the problem related to recent recall. GM has been less than helpful in this scenario. This has created an extremely frustrating issue as I am informed GM knew about this issue prior to issuing a recall which in turn resulted in unnecessary risk to myself and family.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I jumped in and turned the car on and started driving. Right away I noticed most of the warning lights were on. The first speed bump in the complex made me realize I had lost 80-90% of my brakes as if I had a broken brake line for example and steering was a little hard and pulling a bit to one side. I check underneath I did not have any leaks. I decided to take it to the Dealer to have it checked. Dealer said they were not able to find anything and cleared the codes. dash lights on: check engine lane depart drive assist ABS BRAKE

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I was driving down the highway at approximately 70mph and the vehicle began to lose power. It was then apparent that the engine was no longer on as the screen read “press start” to restart engine or something like that. I was in the left hand lane and had to navigate through traffic without power to the right hand shoulder. I barely made it off the road before the car stopped moving entirely. I had purchased the car only 19 days prior. I have 3 children living at home and was very fortunate that none of them were in the car with me, I had no warning of the failure.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I saw a recall for the 6.2L GMC engine announced. I am wondering if its similar to the 5.3L GMC engine. I was on the way to canada from new jersey with my family where all of a sudden my car started shaking near rochester, i had asked and reported this to GMC and they said nothing they can do since it was out of warranty. I had to pay out of pocket for repair of my engine and it was a bent lifter on top of the piston. I am not sure how that happens. The dealership had indicated they are getting a lot of other vehicles with the same issue and engine problems Vehicle with a sticker price of 80k, then needing another 10k repair within 2 years of owning it.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
As I was driving on the highway and the check engine light came on, few seconds later I started losing speed, I could not accelerate. The vehicle then put me into Neutral while I was still moving. I put my flashers on immediately as traffic was quickly coming up behind me. I was able to find a spot off the side of the highway to slowly pull over to. When I stopped it was still in Neutral. I put it into park. Engine was not running. I tried to start the engine again, but nothing would happen. Had to get a tow and have been told the motor needs replaced. The dealership has no timeline of when a motor will be available.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
While driving the transmission will slip/hard shift very aggressively causing the rear tires to lock up. This would happen at unpredictable speeds (anywhere between 10mph-65mph), this occurred for about 2 weeks before vehicle ever gave a code. VERY scary and dangerous especially if you are in traffic since it essentially "brake checks" those behind you. The last incident that finally provided a code occurred at 50 mph when the rear tires completely locked forcing the vehicle in park. Could no longer drive the vehicle after this. The error code states that a rear body valve is needed for the transmission which the dealer is unable to get and neither the dealer or manufacturer can provide any estimate of arrival. Has been in the shop for almost 2 months now waiting.

Potential Consequences:
On 1/3/25 the engine in my 2022 GMC Yukon XL Denali started making knocking noise while driving and then it happened again when turning on the engine. The check engine light came on, so I had the vehicle towed to the nearest GM dealership. When the dealership drained the oil they found metal shavings in the oil. The vehicle had roughly 44,000 miles on it at the time. This put my family and young children at risk as they were in the vehicle when this happened.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power while driving, which has been attributed to a blown fuse and an underlying engine failure. The dealership has confirmed that the engine needs to be repaired. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and is available for inspection upon request. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My [XXX] son was driving the vehicle alone at night over a busy bridge when the car suddenly lost power without warning. He had to coast down the bridge in heavy traffic with limited control, putting himself and surrounding drivers at serious risk. Fortunately, he was able to pull over safely, but the situation could have easily led to a serious accident or injury. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the vehicle was towed to the dealership, where the issue has been diagnosed. They confirmed that the engine is damaged and requires repair. They also identified that the initial trigger may have been a blown fuse, which led to the complete engine failure. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle is currently in the care of the dealership’s service department. It has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No accident occurred, so no police report was filed. 5. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no prior warning lights or symptoms leading up to the failure. The oil had recently been changed, and no issues were reported during the service. The only warning that appeared was the transmission warning light, which came on simultaneously with the vehicle’s sudden power loss.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The check engine light would intermittently turn on since purchasing my brand new vehicle in 2022. The service center kept it for several weeks, but could not find a problem. They said it was a “bad batch of gas” the first time I brought it in. The second time they said it was an engine misfire. They said as long as the light flashes but doesn’t stay on, it is not concerning. March 13, 2025 as I was driving my car down the road my car suddenly shifted to neutral. I had to coast to the side of the road (with my children in the car). I turned my car off and it would not turn back on. I had it towed to the dealership and they said the engine had failed. They replaced it, but could not tell me if they replaced it with the same version engine or not. The dealership did not supply any paperwork of the repair when I picked up my vehicle.

They said it was a “bad batch of gas” the first time I brought it in. The second time they said it was an engine misfire. They said as long as the light flashes but doesn’t stay on, it is not concerning. March 13, 2025 as I was driving my car down the road my car suddenly shifted to neutral. I had to coast to the side of the road (with my children in the car). I turned my car off and it would not turn back on. I had it towed to the dealership and they said the engine had failed. They replaced it, but could not tell me if they replaced it with the same version engine or not. The dealership did not supply any paperwork of the repair when I picked up my vehicle.
Additional Notes:
The check engine light would intermittently turn on since purchasing my brand new vehicle in 2022. The service center kept it for several weeks, but could not find a problem.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Car consuming too much oil, engine oil very low every 2000 miles. GM claims that 2000 is acceptable but new oil should go to 4000 at the least. Will not do anything to the engine or pistons and claim that car has too many engine hours due to idling which I do not do. They are unwilling to fix this problem, been dealing with them for over a year and my warranty is about to expire. There are many complaints online about this same issue.
