The torque converter is too small for the vehicles transmission which then caused it to break and put metal into the transmission fluid. Which cause the transmission to break. My safety was at risk was because while on highway it shot high on RPMs and then made funny noise and wouldn’t go. The problem was confirmed at Aamco transmission where I have to get the transmission rebuilt. There was never a check engine light or check fluid or any codes Thrown before the problem.

We purchased the 2025 GMC Yukon XL on February 26, 2025. While I was heading out on March 24, 2025 I had a total engine failure. No warning sign or warning lamps were present. We had the vehicle towed to Hurd Auto Mall in Johnston Rhode Island where we purchased it. We were told that the engine had seized with only 1,488 miles on it. We saw that over 870,000 GMC engines from 2021-2024 had this same issue and/or have been recalled. We are curious if the 2025 model also have this problem.

My vehicle sustained major damage ($20,000+) to repair according to the body shop. My wife, daughter and myself sustained injuries. My wife and I have significant injuries.

I was driving 30 mph when the car went into neutral and rolled to a stop. When I put on the brakes the engine shut off and it went into park. It would not restart or shift out of park . I was stuck in an active busy road. The car was towed to the dealer. They said it was a problem with the BCM. GMC had put out a bullletin which was to reprogram the BCM. My concern is that if this had happened on a busy interstate in traffic at highway speeds the results could have been fatal.

The torque converter is too small for the vehicles transmission which then caused it to break and put metal into the transmission fluid. Which cause the transmission to break. My safety was at risk was because while on highway it shot high on RPMs and then made funny noise and wouldn’t go.

I was driving 30 mph when the car went into neutral and rolled to a stop. When I put on the brakes the engine shut off and it went into park. It would not restart or shift out of park . I was stuck in an active busy road. The car was towed to the dealer. They said it was a problem with the BCM. GMC had put out a bullletin which was to reprogram the BCM. My concern is that if this had happened on a busy interstate in traffic at highway speeds the results could have been fatal.

Luckily I was able to pull over to safety, barely. It was towed to the GMC dealership and waiting for it to be looked at. There were NO warning lights that came on previous to when this happened.

I was involved in a traffic collision. A large vehicle turned left in front of me and I t boned that vehicle. We were traveling about 30-35 MPH at the moment of impact. My vehicle sustained major damage ($20,000+) to repair according to the body shop. My wife, daughter and myself sustained injuries. My wife and I have significant injuries. I truly believe, based on vehicle damages, and injuries that our airbags should’ve deployed. I believe it has a fault sensor that should be inspected.

REDUCED ENGINE SPEED WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND DROPS TRUCK TO AN IDLE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC AND ON HIGHWAYS. MY MECHANIC HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE PROBLEM. ALL FORUMS AND ONLINE HELP HAS BROUGHT ME TO DEAD ENDS. THIS IS MY LAST RESORT, I BELIEVE GM KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND AM HOPING THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED FROM THIS ISSUE. *TR

I AGAIN TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP IN TENNESSEE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A RECYCLING SWITCH, AND IT WAS REPLACED. NOW, ALMOST I YEAR LAT…

I STARTED MY TRUCK. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. I BEGAN TO ROLL FORWARD, THEN APPLIED MY BRAKES PRIOR TO EXITING MY DRIVEWAY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE BRAKE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK CONTINUED FORWARD. I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. I PULLED THE TRUCK OVER AND OBSERVED BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE STREET. I CRAWLED UNDER THE TRUCK AND SAW THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED AND THAT IT BURST SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. *TR
