  • 2022 GMC YUKON XL
    - Parkton, MD

    The contact owns a 2022 GMC Yukon XL. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V274000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The contact stated that while driving approximately 75 MPH, the oil warning light illuminated, and after 15 seconds, the vehicle lost motive power and stalled. There was smoke coming from the engine compartment. The contact pulled over to the side of the road; however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, and the contact was informed that there was no oil in the engine, causing the engine to seize. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, where an unknown diagnosis was provided. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but declined to repair the vehicle because the failure was not associated with the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

    - Douglasville, GA

    On January 15, 2026, my wife was driving our 2019 GMC 1500 Sierra Denali and the lights on the dash came on with the truck losing power. I made to my wife later in the day and was able to drive the truck to the dealership only achieving 15mph for about 5 miles. The Mike Bell Chevrolet Dealership in Carrolton GA stated that my engine was knocking and needed to be replaced. I took my truck the John Thornton Buick GMC dealership on January 22 to get a second opinion and they stated the exact same thing stating the engine needs to be replaced. The dealership is stating the remanufactured replacement issue is over $10,900. My truck has over 271,000 miles.

  • 2022 GMC SIERRA 1500
    - Revere, MA

    On November 16, while driving on the highway, my GMC vehicle suddenly lost engine power without warning. I was forced to stop in traffic, creating a dangerous situation and putting my life at risk. The vehicle required towing and has remained at the dealership since that date. The dealership determined that the engine requires replacement. Repairs have been significantly delayed, including an incorrectly ordered replacement engine, and the vehicle remains out of service more than two months later. This defect caused a sudden loss of power while driving and presents a serious safety concern.After the incident, I contacted the dealership immediately. Diagnostic appointments were scheduled and then canceled by the dealership twice, which delayed inspection and repair. I was only able to leave the vehicle at the dealership on December 12 due to these delays.

    This vehicle shudders and vibrates during shifting and acceleration at different speeds. Transmission shifts out of gear quite often leaving me stranded at times trying to make it safely out of traffic.

    - KINNELON, NJ

    While driving the vehicle I hit a bump on the road and all 4 windows in the vehicle went down. I did not push any buttons. I tried to close the windows and they would not close. Nothing happened when I attempted to close them. It was 10 degrees out I pulled over, and tried again with out success. I shut the car off, opened the door and closed it and restarted the car after a few minutes. I was able to close 3 of the 4 windows. I started driving and eventually I was able to close the last window. ON my drive I late hit another bump and again all 4 windows opened with out any action by me, I was on a highway, I again pulled over and was not able to close the windows. After I continued driving I was able to close 3 of the 4 windows and eventually the 4th. This is a safety issue.
