2024 GMC YukonRecalls, problems, MPG & safety

“2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali with approximately 30,000 miles. The vehicle previously completed the L87 recall remedy (NHTSA 25V274000). The dealer inspected the engine, it passed, and the higher-viscosity oil change, filter, oil-fill cap, and owner’s manual insert were performed. Despite that remedy, the vehicle later experienced a sudden loss of propulsion on the highway while traveling with family. The vehicle began shaking and the engine shut down. There were no check-engine lights, warning messages, or other notifications prior to or during the failure. The vehicle was towed to a GM dealer. Diagnostic testing at the dealer confirmed that the engine requires replacement under Special Coverage N252494003. The dealer indicated the replacement engine will be remanufactured. The service department also confirmed that the vehicle had been maintained in excellent condition and that all recommended services were completed as required, so the repair is being covered by GM at no cost to the owner.

I was entering northbound I-75 from the Mt. Paran Road entrance in Atlanta, GA with two of my children in the vehicle. This entrance has an extended acceleration ramp where vehicles accelerate to interstate merging speed. While accelerating, the engine briefly stuttered and then the vehicle stopped producing power when I pressed the accelerator. I was unable to continue accelerating and moved onto the limited shoulder. Other vehicles continued accelerating toward I-75 and passed immediately adjacent to us at significant speed. My children and I remained stranded there for approximately two hours waiting for a tow.

The vehicle and failed engine are currently at the dealer and available for inspection. This vehicle was previously subject to NHTSA Recall 25V-274 / GM N252494000 for L87 engine failure and…”
