2024 GMC Yukon intermittently experiences complete loss of audio while driving. During the failure, all audio sources stop working, including radio/music and incoming hands-free telephone audio. During a phone call, the other party can hear me, but I cannot hear them through the vehicle. When this failure occurs, the audible turn-signal click/clack also does not work. In addition, the audible blind-spot warning does not sound. The visual indicators continue to function, but the associated audible warnings are lost. The condition is intermittent but persistent and can last 30+minutes. GM has issued a technical service bulletin addressing loss of audio together with loss of the turn-signal click/clack on 2023–2024 GMC Yukons. I am concerned that this is a safety-related defect because the audio-system failure results in the loss of audible driver warnings while the vehicle is being operated.

Issues with the google voice, transmission issues, engine failure to start or restart. Reported same year vehicle was bought. Repeatedly. Dealership even with video evidence stated could not repeat issue and nothing wrong. My car then starts rattling in the engine and they do a full replacement had it for over three months. Now it’s leaking fluid and smoking. They try to send the consumer away and delay delay until the warranty is over. Unethical practices. They knew there was an issue with my engine as it was on the recall list but kept denying any issues until complete failure. Now less than 20 days after that repair the car is leaking and smoking.

My 2024 GMC Yukon Denali equipped with the 6.2L L87 V8 experienced an engine failure on July 4, 2026. Prior to the failure, there was no visible damage, warning, or other evidence that the engine was about to fail. I drove the vehicle to purchase fireworks and shut the vehicle off normally when I arrived. When I returned to the vehicle after shopping, the engine problem became apparent. There had been no noticeable indication of an engine failure before I turned the vehicle off. The vehicle was subsequently taken to a GM dealership, where the engine failure was confirmed and ultimately required replacement of the 6.2L L87 engine. The vehicle remained out of service from July 4, 2026, until it was returned to me on August 21, 2026. The original failed engine was in the possession of the servicing GM dealership I purchased the car from. Not even 8 months later of purchase the vehicle needed a 3rd engine (original, recalled engine, warranty engine). The lack of warning before the failure is a significant safety concern to me. The vehicle had been operating immediately before I parked it, and there were no apparent symptoms that would have alerted me that a major engine failure was imminent. Had the failure occurred while the vehicle was traveling at highway speed or in traffic, the sudden loss of engine operation could have created a dangerous situation. The failure was confirmed by the GM dealership and resulted in replacement of the L87 6.2L V8 engine. I am submitting this complaint to document the failure and because of continuing concerns regarding the L87 6.2L V8 and the effectiveness and long-term reliability of the recall remedy. I am still currently waiting for the repair work documentation for the new (assuming it was new) motor. I have attached attempts to talk to GM, app incidents, repair work being completed.

Hello, I own a 2024 GMC Yukon Denali with the 6.2L V8. Car currently has 35,000 miles on it. At about 30,000 miles we started to feel a very aggressive vibration in the passanger seat, as well as the 2nd row seats, and driver seat. We took the vehicle in for the recall on the engine where we were instructed to put 0W-40 oil in. Much higher vescocity. After we did this recall the vehicle has not stopped shaking. We went for another service visit in July where we were told " this is the engine pistons trying to conserve fuel, and are firing causing the vibration." I have worked in the auto industry for 12 years, this is not a normal vibration. This should also not be caused by an engine. We then took it in again where they then proceeded to replace fuel manifold on August 18th. The vehicle shakes a bit less but still has a aggressive shake to it. I do not believe this is normal and if it is the engine pistons firing or the crank shafts misfiring, this could cause the engine to have catistrophic failure. This shake happens at speeds anywhere from 18 MPH to 50 MPH. My concern is with my wife and kids in this vehicle as the daily driver and this engine fails.

On January 16, 2026, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query RQ26001. This investigation was opened to assess the remedy effectiveness of Recall 25V-274. ODI has received complaints alleging engine failure in vehicles after the recall remedy had been completed, whether that remedy involved an oil viscosity change or a complete engine replacement. General Motors (GM) issued Recall 25V-274 to address concerns of engine failure in the L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021 and May 31, 2024. GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issue. GM’s recall remedy for Recall 25V-274 consisted of two different repairs, either an oil viscosity change or an engine replacement, based on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. ODI continues to receive reports of engine failures after the completion of the recall remedy. To date, ODI has received 499 complaints alleging post-remedy engine failure in vehicles subject to Recall 25V-274, 473 of which involved an oil viscosity change and 26 a complete engine replacement.

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 1,157 reports of engine bearing failure failures in the L87 6.2L engine produced by General Motors (GM). Of the 1,157 reports received, 173 are outside of the scope of recall 25V-274. These engines are installed in Model Years (MY) 2019–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500, and 2021-2024MY Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Yukon/Yukon XL, and Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV vehicles. The subject engine failures were investigated as part of a Preliminary Evaluation (PE25001). GM determined that these engine failures were due to multiple supplier manufacturing and quality issues. GM issued recall 25V-274 to address the supplier manufacturing and quality issues produced between March 1, 2021, and May 31, 2024. Based on the issuance of recall 25V-274, NHTSA has closed PE25001. ODI continues to receive a significant number of reports of engine failure in vehicles outside the scope of 25V-274. This presents a potential safety risk that warrants further investigation. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysis (EA) to further evaluate the scope and severity of the potential problem and to fully assess the potential safety-related issues of vehicles built outside the recall scope.
