October 23, 2026Power Train

Initially the vehicle was slowing at a moderate pace from 75-40mph while on the freeway during [XXX] rush hour. Two days later after getting off the interstate, the rear wheels locked up while doing 40mph on a side street for approx. 1.5seconds. If this had happened on the freeway it would have caused an accident or loss of control. The dealer inspected the vehicle, recreated the issue, and stated the valve body valves were sticking and needed replacement. We never got any warning lights, nor did the dealer before and after they recreated the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

October 18, 2026Engine

After the original engine failed the recall inspection, it was replaced as part of GM's recall program at 40k miles. At 50k miles with the new engine (so only 10k miles into the new engine), the engine completely locked up and shut down while my son was driving the car on the interstate. We had to get it towed to the nearest dealership, and two weeks later, we are still waiting on the engine to be replaced again under warranty. I have completely lost faith in this car as I will now be on my third engine in 50k miles, and it is very dangerous if this thing can just shut down again while driving as they clearly have not solved the issue of these failing engines.

October 11, 2026Engine

On September 20, 2026 around noon while traveling in the left lane on interstate 40W in North Carolina the engine of my 2023 Yukon Denali seized up with no warning. The screens shut off, then turned back on, and as I attempted to avoid hitting anyone or causing an accident on the road, I tried to shift it back into gear and it would not shift back into gear. Unable to use the gas pedal I put my right turn signal on along with my hazards and slowly made my way over to the right breakdown lane carefully to avoid causing an accident. I tried to start the engine again and the screens would turn back on, tell me to push the start/stop button again, then the screens would turn back off and on agai

October 8, 2026Power TrainEngine

Vehicle was impacted by the engine recall. After the recall repair attempt, the problem resurfaced and persists. The deal ship has the vehicle and has been down for nearly 7 weeks. I feel unsafe driving the vehicle and asked GM to write me a letter stating the vehicle is safe to drive with this recall. They refused. If this isn’t a problem, why not provide that information. They know they have a problem and won’t help.

October 1, 2026Power TrainEngine

Engine began to reduce RPMs while driving up an incline and was unable to maintain speed. Warnings came on for battery, oil, transmission failure, engine failure. Power ultimately failed and electric finally shutoff after short period of time. Was able to connect to Onstar and they got a tow truck there in 2 hours. I had to hitchhike 30 miles to our residence to get another vehicle to pickup my wife and our 2 large dogs because tow truck unable to transport them. There is no Uber or Lyft in the rural mountain areas of [XXX], and no cell service. Car was towed into service center about 50 miles away, and I was told that the engine had to be replace. But they don't have the parts available aft
