2022 GMC YUKON Complaints

On 8/22/25 was brought to my local GMC dealer for the L87 engine propulsion recall. The dealership tested and said the vehicle passed the test. On 12/3/25 while driving on a multi lane highway the vehicle engine stopped abruptly. The message restart engine appeared on the dashboard. I had to negotiate other vehicle travelling at highway speeds to get to coast off to a side street. The transmission went into "park" and could not be shifted to neutral with a message on the dashboard "transmission cannot be shifted in this configuration". I was blocking the roadway and responding police asked that I attempt to restart the vehicle. I did this numerous times but would not start and the battery ran down. The vehicle was towed to the GMC dealer who said the battery failed and replaced it at my cost even after I told them it was fine and run down from trying to start numerous times while blocking traffic. On 12/17/25 while trying on the same highway, the engine abruptly shut off again in high speed traffic with the same message. I couldn't get fully in the shoulder dye to residual snow from plowing coasting powerless as the vehicle slowed. The transmission locked into park again and I ended up getting towed back to the GMC dealership. They advised me the engine seized up and would have to be replaced. I am still waiting to get the vehicle back

While driving on a major highway at approximately 60 to 65 mph the vehicle shut down loss of power and steering without any warning lights. I was able to safely maneuver the vehicle to the emergency lane and contacted AAA to have it towed to nearest dealership. A fuel pump module was replaced- I have been following gmc recent recall of 600k which gives same scenario for their larger engine failure not including the 5.3L Ecotec V8 that I own. I experienced the same failure. Although it was fixed as a sensor module fault, I believe it’s a bigger problem that is not being addressed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 XL. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate, and the engine stalled. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that the failure occurred while driving on a busy highway, and the contact's wife and four minor children were also occupants of the vehicle. The contact stated that the incident was significantly scary. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road, which the contact considered unsafe for him and his family. The contact stated that both the contact and his family, which included a one-year-old child, had to walk to a safe location and sat for more than 40 minutes. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the repair was covered under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling), but the repair could take two months, and the parts needed to be ordered. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 72,020.

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.

OnStar Module is disabled, this is a key safety feature, one of the reasons I purchased this vehicle.
