Purchased new 2023 Yukon Denali with all the bells and whistles, and seems like engine blew after only 4k miles. After researching and reading numerous threads, sounds like the 6.2L issues are well known and have been frustrating customers for several years.

Went to start vehicle and rpms immediately dropped and vehicle shutoff, and said "vehicle condition not met to shift" or something like that. Same thing kept happening and I could tell RPMs needed to stay up in order for vehicle to keep running so I held steady on the gas after starting and quickly shifted, then made it to the dealership. Now we wait for their feedback.

My question is will GM replace the vehicle or only give a credit for what you paid for it if forced to go lemon law route, or another way to say that is how will they determine the amount or vehicle to exchange? I might consider the diesel engine option if that is a possible way to go.

Wish I would've known about these issues before purchasing. Disappointing.

Yep......Hopefully they will make it right. There are many threads on here about your dilemma and/or lemon and buyback. Just search them and you'll have a wealth of knowledge

From what I've read, the only reliable thing is the Duramax diesel.

You're getting way ahead of yourself with thinking of the Lemon Law. That's for problems that don't respond to repeated fixes. Gotta give them a change to fix it first.

The problem that gets complained about here is bad rod bearings, but your engine wouldn't run at all if that was the case. Since you were able to drive the truck to the dealer, it's likely a minor problem that can be fixed. If they can't fix it - then you think about lemon law stuff.

That sucks, please keep us posted/ this thread updated with what's going on. I'm very interested as I also own a new 6.2L, but it's at least made it all the way to 6K miles.

Just curious, have you done any oil changes on it so far? I known it wouldn't technically be due for one yet, but out of paranoia, I did a 500 mile oil change and 3000 mile oil change, probably didn't do anything other than waste time and money, but it made me at least feel a little better.
