In owners' own words
WE purchased this GMC Yukon brand-new in January 2022. Since July 2022 and at 5700 (five thousand) miles, I have been experiencing a repeated Check Engine Light problem. I have taken the vehicle to my local GMC dealer, who has involved GM Engineers, on seven [7] occasions to have the problem fixed, but they have not been able to resolve the issue. I am now concerned that this defect is built-in the vehicle itself. Engine
Nothing has yet failed, but my engine has consumed oil but is apparently within the GM standard of less than 1 quart in 2,000 miles. My vehicle is also involved in the GM loss of engine propulsion recall that I was notified of on 4/24, but a remedy for my vin is still not available. How can something that could lead to loss of engine function take this long to remedy? Engine
The vehicle shuts off when driving in stop and go conditions but not related to the auto stop function. A message across the dash appears âPlease push start buttonâ. This has happened more than once but there are no check engine lights or anything else appearing on the dash. The vehicle just keeps shutting off without any warning or pressing anything. Engine
