“I was driving on Highway 78 from Alabama to Mississippi, when all of a sudden we heard a loud explosion type noise. My husband looked up at the panoramic sunroof, and there was a large hole, along with shattered glass. We looked in the SUV, and there were no objects to be found that could have broken the sunroof. It appears the sunroof spontaneously exploded.”

“At approximately 9,000 miles the engine started knocking. I took it to the dealer today and they called to confirm the engine and radiator needed to be replaced as there are metal shavings in the oil. I'm not sure if it is the 6.2L engine lifter issue or if this is something different, nonetheless, engine issues for GMC seem to be systemic based on quick research and seeing posts in forums and social media.”

“A recall notice was issued in April 2025. I have tried to get the recall issue fixed but my dealership has stated they cannot touch it yet as parts are not available. I have been told to continue driving my car and use only the oil as stated on the oil cap. My tab renewal notice has the recall listed, my GMC app shows the recall and NHTSA shows the recall. I have not been told when I can get my potentially faulty engine fixed or even looked at.”

“Vehicle went to GM for recall repairs on 02/24/25 the morning after when I cranked my car it was dead. Jumped the car off then began hearing a clicking noise GM advised I replace my serpentine belt as they noticed it needed replacement when doing the recall repairs. 02/26/25 serpentine belt was replaced but car still seemed to have power issues when cranking. 02/27/25 car barely cranked then while driving down the highway I lost all power and power steering to the vehicle. There was no warning, no check engine lights etc. …”

“Complete engine failure while operating the vehicle with our children riding along as passengers. The engine failure nearly caused us to wreck. 2023 GMC Yukon XL Denali with only 15,000 miles. And now, I am being told that I need a complete engine replacement and that GMC is well aware of these engine failures and the product defects, yet GMC has refused to issue a recall. To add insult to injury, I’m being told by dealership that it may take several months to get a new engine! We will be pursuing legal action.”
