  ENGINE FAILURE

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  Issues with the google voice, transmission issues, engine failure to start or restart. Reported same year vehicle was bought. Repeatedly. Dealership even with video evidence stated could not repeat issue and nothing wrong. My car then starts rattling in the engine and they do a full replacement had it for over three months. Now it’s leaking fluid and smoking. They try to send the consumer away and delay delay until the warranty is over. Unethical practices. They knew there was an issue with my engine as it was on the recall list but kept denying any issues until complete failure. Now less than 20 days after that repair the car is leaking and smoking.

• ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  On August 20, 2026, while driving my 2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali equipped with the 6.2L V8 engine at approximately 70 mph on the interstate, the vehicle experienced a sudden and complete loss of motive power without adequate warning. The vehicle unexpectedly shifted into neutral and would no longer accelerate or maintain highway speed. This occurred in active interstate traffic and almost resulted in a serious accident as I attempted to maneuver the vehicle out of the flow of traffic. The engine would not restart, and the vehicle had to be towed to a GMC dealership. The GMC dealership subsequently diagnosed that the engine had locked up and determined that the engine requires complete replacement. This failure created an immediate and significant safety hazard for me, my family, and surrounding motorists. My vehicle is affected by the 6.2L engine recall, and I am extremely concerned about the safety and reliability of the proposed replacement engine. I have become aware of reports from other owners alleging failures involving replacement engines as well, including similar sudden losses of propulsion. I am concerned that replacing the engine may not adequately address the underlying safety risk if replacement engines are experiencing similar failures. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate not only the original engine failure, but also whether replacement engines used as a remedy are adequately correcting the defect. A sudden engine lockup and complete loss of propulsion at interstate speeds presents a serious risk of collision, injury, or death.

  My 2024 GMC Yukon Denali equipped with the 6.2L L87 V8 experienced an engine failure on July 4, 2026. Prior to the failure, there was no visible damage, warning, or other evidence that the engine was about to fail. I drove the vehicle to purchase fireworks and shut the vehicle off normally when I arrived. When I returned to the vehicle after shopping, the engine problem became apparent. There had been no noticeable indication of an engine failure before I turned the vehicle off. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a GM dealership, where the engine failure was confirmed and ultimately required replacement of the 6.2L L87 engine. The vehicle remained out of service from July 4, 2026, until it was returned to me on August 21, 2026. The original failed engine was in the possession of the servicing GM dealership I purchased the car from. Not even 8 months later of purchase the vehicle needed a 3rd engine (original, recalled engine, warranty engine). The lack of warning before the failure is a significant safety concern to me. The vehicle had been operating immediately before I parked it, and there were no apparent symptoms that would have alerted me that a major engine failure was imminent. Had the failure occurred while the vehicle was traveling at highway speed or in traffic, the sudden loss of engine operation could have created a dangerous situation. The failure was confirmed by the GM dealership and resulted in replacement of the L87 6.2L V8 engine. I am submitting this complaint to document the failure and because of continuing concerns regarding the L87 6.2L V8 and the effectiveness and long-term reliability of the recall remedy. I am still currently waiting for the repair work documentation for the new (assuming it was new) motor. I have attached attempts to talk to GM, app incidents, repair work being completed.

  My vehicle "passed" the engine recall only to have the engine blow at 33,000 miles. My vehicle was at the dealership for 52 days most of the time was spent waiting for the new engine. Dealership was amazing, GMC however is the worst. My new engine has about 1,000 miles on it and it stutters occasionally when the auto start turns on.

• ENGINE

  Hello, I own a 2024 GMC Yukon Denali with the 6.2L V8. Car currently has 35,000 miles on it. At about 30,000 miles we started to feel a very aggressive vibration in the passanger seat, as well as the 2nd row seats, and driver seat. We took the vehicle in for the recall on the engine where we were instructed to put 0W-40 oil in. Much higher vescocity. After we did this recall the vehicle has not stopped shaking. We went for another service visit in July where we were told " this is the engine pistons trying to conserve fuel, and are firing causing the vibration." I have worked in the auto industry for 12 years, this is not a normal vibration. This should also not be caused by an engine. We then took it in again where they then proceeded to replace fuel manifold on August 18th. The vehicle shakes a bit less but still has a aggressive shake to it. I do not believe this is normal and if it is the engine pistons firing or the crank shafts misfiring, this could cause the engine to have catistrophic failure. This shake happens at speeds anywhere from 18 MPH to 50 MPH. My concern is with my wife and kids in this vehicle as the daily driver and this engine fails.

• ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING,ENGINE

  The contact owns a 2024 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at approximately 45–50 MPH, the vehicle stalled. No warning light was illuminated. The driver pulled over to the side of the road, and the vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it remained for five weeks before being diagnosed. The dealer determined that the engine was blown and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Action Number: EA25007 (Engine, Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 63,073.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  This is a supplemental report to my original complaint (NHTSA ID XXX) regarding my 2024 GMC Yukon (VIN [XXX]). I am providing additional detail: prior to GM's recall being issued, I contacted Hatchett Buick GMC by phone and visited in person on multiple occasions reporting engine sputtering, stalling, hesitation, and total loss of power and electrical shutdown while driving. I was repeatedly told these were minor issues not affecting anyone and not to worry about them. As a result, the vehicle was not formally serviced for these issues until September 2025 — roughly three months after the recall was finally announced, more than a year after I purchased the vehicle. Since that recall repair and a subsequent "best guess" repair performed by GM technicians (their own description, not mine), the vehicle continues to sputter, hesitate, stall, and intermittently lose power. I have ongoing safety concerns driving this vehicle INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

• ENGINE

  Engine locked up and seized traveling 75mph on interstate with only 28,000 miles

• ENGINE

  The 6.2 GMC engine has been replaced. I took my Yukon in for a oil change, on the second engine, the tech said that it now has a new oil synthetic 0-40, and I have to have the oil changed every 3 thousand miles. I checked with a couple of mechanics and they all said, synthetic is good for at least 5 thousand miles, and just thicker oil will not solve the engine problems that have plagued GM. I am bringing this to your attention as these vehicles are pretty much worthless in the marketplace, and as such GM should refund or exchange for the 2027, with the new motors.

• ENGINE

  The engine began knocking on startup and on acceleration. The vehicle would sometimes have difficulty accelerating. Upon taking it to the dealership, they were able to duplicate the issue. Upon inspection by the dealership, 2 rod bearings had spun and caused crankshaft damage. The manufacturer approved a full engine replacement under the warranty. There were no warnings lights, messages, or any other symptoms of the problem prior to the first incident.
