“Was driving on the interstate when the engine stopped running. My screens went off and came on saying to press the start button to turn on as my car is still moving. Once pulled over couldn’t get the car to turn off or shift out of park. Engine never started since then. Mechanics looking at the Yukon have verified that my engine did seize up. My car is less than a year old.”

“There currently is a serious recall on this vehicle and there is no remedy available. I’ve called the dealership and they confirmed this information. The service department claimed the sales department may be able to help me and then sales said it was a service dept issue. I have children who have been placed at risk as they have been traveling in this vehicle since April 2024.”

“I would like to document it took 7 trips to set the monitors after a failed smog check. That is 21 time going from 55 miles a hour to coasting to 20 miles a hour. on a freeway. Three times per trip at 2:00 - 3:00 in the morning. Also my Catalytic Converter went out at 26,000 miles. It should last 70,000 - 100,000 miles or 10 years. Catalytic Convertor was replaced by dealer. Will i have to replace it every 26,000 miles?”

“The motor is randomly revving at braking so far only under 10 miles an hour. Yesterday it stalled twice on me and cut off braking under 10 miles an hour. I had to come to a complete stop while restarting the vehicle. Definitely has me worried if it happens on the highway or higher speeds.”
