1 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2025 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 10/16/2025

Reduced engine power warning light came on at approximately 7600 miles on our new 2025 Yukon xl. Dealer inspected and ultimately decided the engine needs to be replaced due to crankshaft end play out of spec. This is a know gm issue. Incorrect thrust bearing was installed from the factory. Gm did not inform us of this issue. This could have resulted in catastrophic engine failure and cause to be stranded on the road. Not ideal when it is -20 degrees in my hometown. Dealer finally replaced engine then had lane departure unavailable and lane assist unavailable warning lights. Dealer claimed this was unrelated but all safety equipment worked when we dropped it off. Now it doesn’t.

2 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2023 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 05/08/2025

I am experiencing ongoing issues with the infotainment system in my vehicle, which has remained unresolved despite multiple service visits. The system frequently blacks out, reboots while driving, and fails to function entirely at times, for days at a time. This is more than an inconvenience — it presents several serious safety concerns, including: •loss of the rearview camera and parking assist features, making reversing hazardous. •inability to access hands-free calling and navigation, increasing the risk of driver distraction and noncompliance with hands-free driving laws. •disruption of access to climate controls and safety alerts that are routed through the infotainment system. •frequent system crashes while driving, which divert my attention from the road. These issues compromise both the safety and usability of the vehicle, and I am requesting immediate action to resolve the problem under warranty.

4 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2021 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 04/20/2022

The vehicle had a total failure of its rear safety package which includes blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, rear parking sensors and rear safety alert. The warning illuminated on the dash that all of these functions were offline and service was needed. We took the Yukon to a gm dealer and they replaced a computer and had a hard time getting it to program. This failure also affected the hvac system in the car, with the fan staying on high. After 23 days of service, the dealer thought they fixed it. After two weeks of having the vehicle back the same alert came on 5-6 times in the same day, with another safety package failure. Now the alert doesn’t come on but none of those safety features work, they are all offline. It is bad enough driving a 20’ long vehicle without the safety package working, but now it is worse in that the car doesn’t alert you to the fact it isn’t working and you might not remember that it is defective. This could cause a collision on the highway or result in the driver backing into something or someone, relying on this technology.

5 Rearview System Braking problem of the 2010 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 03/26/2021

Friday night. On March 26 while driving on a city highway, after crossing a railroad track- my airbags deployed while approaching a red light occupied with several vehicles. Managed to avoid hitting anything and immediately pulled over in a local grocery store parking lot. That was scary.
