2019 GMC Yukon Xl

The air conditioning system in my vehicle failed in April 2025. My dealership service department diagnosed the problem as a refrigerant leak requiring the compressor to be replaced. I had the $2400 repair made replacing both the compressor, condenser and the a/c system was charged. 2 months later, I am having the same issue again - failure of the a/c system due to a refrigerant leak requiring the condenser to be replaced. A quick Google search identifies a recall on the 2019 Yukon XL noting a "refrigerant leak due to thermal cycling". Though this is the precise year, make, model and distinct problem that I am experiencing, my specific VIN has not been included on the recall. We are in the height of summer, currently experiencing temperature that feel like 104-107 degrees in East Tennessee thus is has become a safety issue for myself, 4 children and husband to travel in our primary/only family vehicle. I find it unbelievable that a vehicle of this caliber has a basic (air conditioning) system failure after 6 years; however, it is incomprehensible to spend $2400, have it repaired, know there is a recall for the precise vehicle and concern, have it fail again and be expected to spend another $2400 because my specific VIN is not included. It is simply preposterous. I am requesting that my specific VIN be included on this recall, please.

Reporting engine failure with my 2019 GMC Yukon XL. Reporting engine failure after 106,500 miles. Yukon was properly functioning and well cared for with frequent oil changes and tire rotations. On [XXX] I was driving home with my [XXX] daughter coming back from her dance recital on [XXX] at [XXX] in Minnetonka, MN when the "Forward Collison System Unavailable" warning notification came present on my dash. The vehicle started to sputter and an abundance of smoke was coming out of the rear exhaust. Fortunately, I was able to make it home safely. I brought the car in the following day and it was diagnosed that the engine failed and complete repair of camshaft, cylinders, engine coolant lines and oil pans would need replacement. I did notice that the vehicle years 2021 to 2024 are currently under recall for similar issues. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This vehicle has left my family along side of a high twice. First time from lifter failure the second time from bearing failure. The bearing failure caused the vehicle to shut off and made for an unsafe pull off of a major highway. Both times this has happened with no warning till it happened. Lost of power with the check engine light coming on at the same time. No warning of any issues till it was to late a broke down. This could have been tragic to my family the second time around when complete shut down on an interstate highway why driving in heavy traffic. WITH NO WARNING boom shut off!! Every gm/chevy dealer I been too even say it’s been an issue and don’t understand why gm has not fixed the problem. These repairs alone cost us over 18000 out of pocket.

Vehicle began idling rough then check engine came on. Acceleration would then vary while driving. Took to GM dealership and they said lifters, head gaskets and cam shaft are bad. The charge to repair is $7,736. Saw GM just did a “voluntary “ recall for this same issue on year models starting 2021-2024. 2019 year should be added as this is a costly repair.

Catastrophic engine failure to the GM 6.2L engine. Mechanical issue - cam or crankshaft came apart. Safety to myself and/or others as I was driving on the road in traffic when the issue occurred and had complete loss of power. I was able to avoid traffic and get the SUV to the shoulder of the road. The issue was confirmed by my auto service provider. No warning lamps or messages prior to failure. Once failure occurred, the check engine light started to blink.

There was a problem with the catalytic converter that I was not aware of when I purchased the vehicle. There were no issues with performance for a few days until the engine began misfiring on the interstate and it forced me to pull over during heavy traffic. This was all in a week and the dealer has refused to take any responsibility despite being a Chevy Certified Dealer. I am now getting the vehicle repaired by my local mechanic due to the need for this vehicle. I have made General Motors aware of the situation.
