There was a problem with the catalytic converter that I was not aware of when I purchased the vehicle. There were no issues with performance for a few days until the engine began misfiring on the interstate and it forced me to pull over during heavy traffic. This was all in a week and the dealer has refused to take any responsibility despite being a chevy certified dealer. I am now getting the vehicle repaired by my local mechanic due to the need for this vehicle. I have made general motors aware of the situation.

Transmission went out at 100,000 miles, exactly.

Total engine failure with no warning. Vehicle has approximately 106,000 miles. While driving on Monday [xxx], the car began shaking violently and the engine light began flashing. Fortunately I was only about a mile from a GMC dealership, so I pulled into rice GMC Buick in knoxville, TN. They informed me that there was a catastrophic engine failure and that a complete replacement would be necessary at a cost of $15,000 dollars. I live 100 miles away in chattanooga, TN. I understand that cars experience some level of wear and tear, but a total engine failure at just over 100,000 miles when the car has been serviced at all regular intervals is very unusual. I recommend my case be referred to active investigation #pe25001. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The car was clicking when it was first started up, a short time later it started to shake terribly which forced my [xxx] son who was driving the vehicle at the time to pull over, on a major toll-way in heavy traffic. Engine light started to blink and traction control light came on. I immediately took the car into the dealer and was told I need new lifters ($3800 + tax) and most likely a new engine (they quoted me $15,865). From what I am reading this issue is common place with the 6. 2l engine. . . Frightening and very lucky my son was not injured. I have filed a case with GMC - case #[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

I have 98,000 on my Yukon xl denali and I have a crack in the piston block as I was told by the dealer. I have an endurance car warranty on the vehicle and the vehicle has been at the dealers since [xxx]. The warranty company is giving the dealer the run around where they have torn down the motor already twice to prove to them that there is a crack. Plus, there was no warning signs other than it not running smoothly as it has been and that is why it went to the shop. Nothing should be happening to this motor at 98,000. The vehicle is presently at palm Chevrolet in ocala, florida and scott kelly is the service manager. Can you please give me some advice.

GMC engines are faulty and puts people at risk when they malfunction. The first time the vehicle lost power, it was spitting and sputtering as I was driving with my family in the car. The vehicle left us sit along side the road of a major highway in freezing temps. The lifters malfunctioned costing 5000 dollars in repairs. Once again started having loss of power and the vehicle shut completely down while driving down the road with my family in it. So no engine means no power steering an etc . Again left us sit along side the road. The main bearing has went in the motor. Now costing us 16,000 in repairs for new engine. Now we are at the cost of 21,000 in repairs. This is a known issue with the v8 engines a yet gm has done nothing to fix or compensate people for their loses. I’m stuck with this vehicle now cause I’m so upside down at this point it’s disgusting. Also sad an auto manufacturer doesn’t not stand behind their product as it puts people and their family’s at risk. They need to be held accountable for this issue as thousands of people have had this issue. I don’t have the other repair bill on me at this time do to the car is in the body shop from a deer accident. But I do have one an can provide it at a later date if needed. Thanks.

This vehicle has left my family along side of a high twice. First time from lifter failure the second time from bearing failure. The bearing failure caused the vehicle to shut off and made for an unsafe pull off of a major highway. Both times this has happened with no warning till it happened. Lost of power with the check engine light coming on at the same time. No warning of any issues till it was to late a broke down. This could have been tragic to my family the second time around when complete shut down on an interstate highway why driving in heavy traffic. With no warning boom shut off!! every gm/chevy dealer I been too even say it’s been an issue and don’t understand why gm has not fixed the problem. These repairs alone cost us over 18000 out of pocket.
