What owners report
The vehicle developed a recurring cylinder #4 misfire with a flashing check-engine light, rough running, and reduced performance. Diagnostic code P0304 repeatedly returned. Replacing the #4 spark plug temporarily restored normal operation, but the misfire returned after a few hundred miles. The #4 plug was wet/oily, and fresh oil was found pooled in the #4 intake port while the other ports were dry. All eight spark plugs, ignition coils, and plug wires were replaced, along with the #4 fuel injector and both #4 valve-stem seals, but the misfire persisted. A valvetrain/lifter tick later became audible near 3,000 RPM. The failure has now been confirmed as a valvetrain failure that severely dama
While traveling at highway speeds on Interstate 5 in Oregon, my 2015 GMC Yukon Denali experienced a sudden, catastrophic engine failure with zero advance warning. The vehicle instantly lost almost all propulsion and power while surrounded by high-speed traffic, creating an immediate and severe safety hazard on a major interstate. The engine began making a loud, severe knocking noise, and I was forced to navigate across lanes without adequate power to reach the shoulder. The vehicle was towed and inspected by Point S in Creswell, OR, where diagnostics confirmed a P0300 random/multiple cylinder misfire, with cylinder 4 specifically misfiring. Using a stethoscope and scanner to isolate the fail

The contact owns a 2015 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving at 40 MPH, the rear brakes became inoperable, causing the steering wheel to seize, with no warning lights illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle crashed into a tree. The contact and the contactâs child sustained injuries and were transported to a local emergency room for medical treatment. The contact suffered a broken nose and a chest fracture. The contactâs child sustained a broken leg due to deployment of the passenger-side air bag. The contact stated that the air bags deployed during the crash; however, the driverâs air bag failed to deploy. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the conta
There is a recall on my 2015 GMC Yukon, that I am not the original owner of. The recall is for the brake booster and says that it expired. I have had the car checked by two different shops (both confirmed it was this), and one of them was the local GMC dealership by my house. I called to make an appointment for the recall to be fixed, to which they said they needed to order parts and it would take a few weeks. I dropped the car off three weeks later per their request for then another person to call me and say they won't fix it because it is expired. It is a safety matter that the breaks don't work occasionally.
