2023 GMC Yukon AT4 6.2L dead at 10K miles

[Dangler6131]

With only 10K miles, my 2023 6.2L died and would not restart - conditions not ready to shift.
This is after my 2021 suburban had lifters fail after 23K miles.

Hopefully they buy it back from you

+1. I think the universe is telling you to buy a different brand, or an older well kept model with less issues.

It's sad to see a mfg that used to make top quality stuff go downhill. Cost cutting only goes to far.....

 

[Dangler6131]

This was our seventh Yukon/suburban. Past two have died and left us stranded. Never a big issue with previous five.

I repeat my prior statement.....LOL

Really sorry you going through this. Absolutely insane. Proof that its inevitable in the new generation which has 16 of these lifters. Just a matter of time. I dont know how GM is getting away with this? 4 years!!!!! No recall, no extended warranty, no compensation, ridiculous.

I really enjoy our yukon, but I wouldn't be able to do it again after this if I were you. Problem is there aren't really many good options for this size car outside of GMC/Chevy.

If you still want to stay in one, I'd be looking at my favorite model of the last 7 I owned and then searching for a very nicely kept one with low miles, and just enjoy life in a different era when things were simple and worked.

Yes, there are.... It's called a Duramax.....

Maybe the 17- 20 model years? Good clean one would work fine in my book. I know the newer ones have more bells and whistles, but that all breaks too.

My truck needs a whole new engine it appears. Buy back case initiated w GM

 

[Dangler6131]

Dealer confirmed metal bits in oil pan. Engine is a goner. No ETA on replacement engine.

So, not lifters, likely bottom end issue?? Crazy, seems like they got the lifters squared away and now blew the bottom end components?

 

[StephenPT]

Seems to be just the 6.2 having bottom end problems. I could be wrong, but I don’t think I’ve heard of low mileage spun mains on the 5.3.

Both have had their fair share of DFM lifter failures.

Thats what I think too...and seems to be more in the 2023 model year than others?

Only asking as I am sporting around in my 2022 w/ the 6.2...
Up side I have is my dealer includes "unlimited powertrain warranty" on every car they sell...I've read the contract...net is: Internally lubricated parts for engine, transfer case, transmission, and differentials...which in the case of this rig...is a really good thing to have!

 

[BlaineBug]

Their lifter issues seem to be getting worse, not better, as one would expect‍.

 

[Dangler6131]

I think mine is a spun bearing

 

[Dangler6131]

GM cannot even tell me an ETA on a new engine…amazing.

You will likely get faster resolution through the buyback process. I would not try to stay with that particular rig. GM will buy you out and then fix it on their own time to later resell.

I have tried to open a buy back claim. GM telling me they want to fix it.
