What owners wrote
Driving on the highway the vehicle would not shift gears causing the driver to proceed well under the posted speed limit. The driver attempted to increase speed slowly and the vehicle hesitated, the engine rever but the speed would not increase. This caused cars at the correct speed to veer out of the lane to avoid a crash. Once off the highway the vehicle was hesitant to shift gears and emitted loud revving sounds from the engine.
Car struggled to start when I started it. Idle was/has been really shaky. Engine light came on. I got a diagnosis from 2 companies for my engine. Both said I needed to replace all 8 fuel injectors. GMC has an extended warranty to cover these issues, but it is not available for my state of utah. Here is the code for reference for yukon #n182198000. My car is a yukon xl 2017 that needed fuel injectors at 85,000 miles! How is this okay? The repair cost $1,990.28.
