2022 GMC YUKON XL- Phoenix, AZ
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.

2021 GMC SIERRA 1500- Fort Worth, TX
At cold start-up, engine (6.2) makes a metal-to-metal grinding sound for 60-90 seconds. After warm-up, a steady tick on the right side of the engine while running. I contacted GM and they said, " this was normal at start up". however, with me being a mechanical engineer, all of my school and working experience tells me anything grinding metal to metal is not good.

2022 GMC YUKON XL- Edmond, OK
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.
