I had an engine replaced on a 2023 Denali. Rod bearings blew at 3600 miles. Owned the car for 1 Month. Engine replacement went well, car was running great, but I still worked with GM and they ended up replacing the car for us. Whole process end to end took about 5 months from when the first...
Hey Raj welcome to the fun / forum.
I’ve had **two** 2023 Yukon Denali’s now, yes read that correctly. Our first was with the 6.2 L and the motor was blown after less than 4000 miles. Our second replacement 6.2 L Yukon also 2023 Denali has just over 4000 miles right now and everything is going...
I had my car for exactly 1 month before my engine failed. 3600 miles. Exactly 4 weeks for them to get a new motor and install it.
Yukon Denali vers 2.0 has 2800 miles on it now. Let’s see if I can make it to 3.6k lol
just jumped 102 pages on this thread to see what new Yukon folks are up to.
1 month in, my motor blew with 3600 miles on it. 2023 6.2 L. Two rod bearings blew . Replaced my motor and started the process with GM on what was next.
Ended up getting a full replacement Yukon. Brand new vehicle...
Been a bit since I’ve checked this thread. Update as of early May (car died 4 months ago) - we’ve opted to go the replacement route. Motor was dead 1 month to the day from when we took delivery (Jan 9 to Feb 9, 2023).
Put my order in for the replacement around mid April and they’ve accepted...
I hear you. That’s extremely frustrating and I would have the same safety concerns being a family of four over here with two young children.
To be honest, I did nothing to help expedite this scenario with General Motors. While I don’t think my motor replacement situation was entirely unique, I...
Anyone on this forum have any experience with the GMC vehicle replacement process?
It looks like once I place the order for my next vehicle (‘23 Denali ultimate w 6.2L and cat back exhaust.. had to .. ) , they’ll (GMC) put an offer together for how this will pan out in terms of $, at which...
I have to imagine there is some sort of priority labeling with where GM is sending new motors these days. My 2023 Yukon Denali blew two rod bearings at 3600 miles - exactly a month to the day from when we picked it up from the dealer. I figured months for a new motor but they had mine shipped...
A little context for you: your car dies and you coast to the side of the road. There’s two children under 2 years old sleeping in the back seat, it’s 3pm and it’s 80 degrees outside. Let me know if there’s something else I should have done besides try and start my car again..? Pls try and add an...
Pretty damn close … I wonder what GM’s thoughts are on these motors spinning rod bearings between 3-4K miles. There’s gotta be a short list of these somewhere in their system.
Sucks for us. Hope they get you back in order soon.
I’m curious of your exact mileage - My rod bearings blew at 3,677 miles. (Cylinders 5 & 6) . Can’t just be a strange coincidence here.
I did the miles / KM conversion and you’re at around 3,106?
FYI, my starter motor was toast and also blew a 400A fuse from the handful of times I tried to get...
Hey please see my post - I went through this exact scenario. I’m about a week in on my new motor now. Dealer had my car for a month waiting on a new 6.2L. Tried to share relevant details in my posts but feel free to reach out if I can help...
I still feel like the “Yelp” rule applies here - people aren’t always hopping on these forums to post what amazing experiences they’re having driving their Yukons. You come here because you’re researching or have a problem to diagnose. Even with my experience (dead engine) I haven’t written off...
Update . I’ve driven the car for 3 days with very uneasy idling. Noticed some stuttering as well when on the gas pedal. Most recently the check engine light started flashing( 1 hour ago) so back to the dealership we go. Picking up the loaner .. again.
quick google for flashing check engine...
I think we are going to take the buyback on this vehicle . No mention of extended warranties but i did read a post about someone being awarded GM points and could in turn use those to “purchase” extended warranties
Picked her up from the dealer this morning. Had a nice little write up on our service ticket - engine appeared to be “starving for oil” - stuck out to me.
It was cylinders #5 & 6 piston rod bearings seized. Major internal engine failure.
Honestly never really occurred to me to check the...
All good info here. Can’t really speak to wider issues with this motor. I went in with all good impressions of the L87 6.2L. I echo what someone had posted about things made during the pandemic being shit. Simplest way to put it, but I think also some bad luck on my end.
But Quick update for...
I met my mechanic, and tbh, service dept at the dealer has treated me very well so far. Good communication and no unnecessary calls / questions. Can’t say the same about GM customer service. Eye roll.
My motors been pulled. I picked up the dealers loaner and parts has told the new motor is en...
Oh - wow - when my bearing blew I heard that noise too! It almost sounded like my tires screeched for a split second which I thought was extremely strange since I was going about 30mph, but piecing this all together now it was definitely when my rod bearing(s) went. FYI my Yukon made it about...
I guess my take away here as the vehicle owner is to get down to their shop and feel out of there are specialists and how comfortable they are with the full motor swap.
I think after all is said and done if I am still not confident in the vehicle ( two young kids, long road trips), then I’ll...
How many miles on yours? Also was curious how you managed to get your hands on a 2023, 10 months ago?!
I submitted my order in may 2022 for a 2022 model. I think in October it got flipped to 2023 model. It arrived at our dealer just before January 2023.
I think I’ve come to grips with the...
Sounds like we both need to get very familiar with our states’ respective lemon laws. It really is sad that for the price tag on these vehicles, the standard for reliability isn’t higher.
I’m praying these guys can do a clean swap on the motor (if there are any available) and be out of this...
