Potential Consequences:
On January 23, 2025, at approximately 7:00 p.m., I was traveling on I-10 when, without warning, my engine shut off on my 2022 GMC Yukon, and I rapidly lost speed. We managed to pull the vehicle off the road. This was extremely frightening since there was traffic on I-10.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine locked up / froze up while driving 75MPH on interstate i-10. Vehicle is now in the shop awaiting a new engine. It will probably lock up as well, finding there is no known guaranteed reason for this engine failure. Dealership provided a junk rental and said it would be a few months before repair is complete. My towing bills were not paid by GM. My insurance had to pay which is simply not right! I'm sure they will pull a mystery motor off the shelf and hope for the best... Very dangerous!

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
On February 21st when driving on the highway at highway speeds, the vehicle on its own shifted into neutral and I was forced to pull over onto side of the road before the vehicle allowed me to put back into gear of drive. Upon getting back onto the highway, I noticed and heard the sound of the motor very different and louder than normal, I immediately pulled over to the nearest exit to where the vehicle shut off on its own and did not allow me to control the vehicle. I was stranded at the exit where a number of other vehicles and 18 wheelers were trying to exit, I called the local PD, to come assist with traffic control and had to wait on tow truck to have vehicle towed home, then next day towed to local dealership. Received a phone call from dealership days later that the technicians were able to fire it up, but it immediately lost oil pressure and motor locked up, I am being told by the dealership that the motor will need to be replaced, it is covered under warranty BUT I am being given no timeline as to when it can be fixed.

Potential Consequences:
The 6.2 L engine Yukon spun a bearing caused my car to shut down in the middle of the road barely got off the side. Lucky that we were not at highway speeds and nobody rear ended us. When I got to the dealership they did not care that this occurred and GMC customer care did not even acknowledge about the safety of us on the road when this occurred. At this point GMC nor the dealership has an ETA on replacement.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My vehicle was 8 months old and it completely stopped with no warning going down the interstate, I was in the left lane and the vehicle locked up, engine and all leaving me stranded in the left lane on a busy interstate. When the engine quits, there is absolutely no way to get the vehicle into neutral to get it to a safe location. When this happened I was almost hit by an 18 wheeler . After having the vehicle towed to the dealership, they informed me the engine was seized. It took 3 months to get an engine from GM, they finally got the engine in, started it up in the shop, it apparently ran for about 15 minutes before losing oil pressure. At that time they shut the vehicle off, pulled the oil filter, found metal shavings in it and GM told the dealer to order another engine. But there were no engines available. The dealership finally notified me 3.5 months later that they finally received an engine and were working on installing it. I finally got my vehicle back after more than 6 months at the dealership and it was on its 3rd engine. I drove the vehicle for almost 2 years before the Same thing happened, the vehicle locked up on the highway and I had to have it towed. It has taken the dealer over a month to diagnose the problem and called to inform me the engine had seized up again. This will be the fourth engine in a 2022 GMC Yukon AT4. Besides the issue of the engines going bad, it is a severe safety issue that the vehicle will completely lock up on the highway with no way to move it. Twice I have almost been in a serious accident because of this.

I finally got my vehicle back after more than 6 months at the dealership and it was on its 3rd engine. I drove the vehicle for almost 2 years before the Same thing happened, the vehicle locked up on the highway and I had to have it towed. It has taken the dealer over a month to diagnose the problem and called to inform me the engine had seized up again. This will be the fourth engine in a 2022 GMC Yukon AT4. Besides the issue of the engines going bad, it is a severe safety issue that the vehicle will completely lock up on the highway with no way to move it. Twice I have almost been in a serious accident because of this.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine seized on the highway doing 80mph with my three young children in the car. The safety of my entire family was at risk! Luckily made it to the side of the road safely, but was freezing in the rain and snow with a completely dead vehicle. The vehicle had been in for service months earlier and they detected a “bearing” issue and had it for 2+ weeks to repair. I can’t help but think these two incidents are related. No warning signaling that the car was going to die - it became very clear we were coasting while trying to apply the gas.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The engine started making a rattling sound. Brought it to the dealer and they told me the engine is bad and it needs a new one. They told me this issue with lifters and the fuel management system is a common problem leading to internal metal components breaking. My car has been with the dealer since 12/30/24 and I was told this week from the dealer the problem is so big there aren’t any engines available and they have no idea when I’m getting it back. When I initially dropped it off, they said approximately a month. Now they are saying they don’t have a clue.
