2025 Yukon Denali 6.2 Transmission

[thigaustin]

I have been in my Yukon for three weeks now and there is a consistent hesitation / jolt going to second gear. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I will be taking it to the shop after the holidays but already a disappointment to have to give up the car to the shop for an estimated 2+ weeks to figure this out.

I also have the crooked tail pipes that others are reporting... (here is a video of my car right before I picked it up:

)

Hopefully just a simple reprogram. PS - I like that blue colour. What colour is it? Reminds me a bit of the Shoreline Blue Pearl that my 4Runner had.

Its Downpour Metallic.

Does it hesitate while shifting in manual?

It seems to be ok in manual mode, other than the expected delay to shift but that is consistent across the gears. Hopefully this means it is software and not a physical issue!?

It appears that your issue is software related and can be adjusted accordingly.

@NickTransmissions is our resident transmission expert, and he will chime in with his thoughts and perspectives.

Sorry, I dont have any experience with the ten-speed units but jolts/rough shifts are usually valve body or electrical/electronics (transmission or engine mgmt).

 

[GMCnewbee]

I really like that color and the interior looks great as well. We have a 22 Yukon and I have no complaints with the transmission. For sure take it to the Dealer while you have your warranty, maybe take it to multiple Dealers (GMC, Chevy, Caddy) just to see if you find one that really knows their stuff and knows how to treat the customer.

I'm looking at 2025's because of the transmission issue I had with my 2020 and this is not what I want to read. Why does GM have issues with transmissions and other manufactures have figured this out? Of course there are exceptions. I've owned many other vehicles before buying my first Tahoe in 2019, all my other vehicles were foreign and I never had any transmission issues with those vehicles. I'll also admit that those vehicles were sold or traded in with over 160k miles and never once had the transmission fluid changed, serviced, etc. Those cars functioned perfectly.

If you think GM is the only one that’s bad, I’ve got news for you. We had to dump our 2020 Expedition because of transmission issues. Experienced the same with our 2020 F-150 and 2019 Expedition. Strike no. 3 and we said enough was enough. On the flip side, zero issues with our ‘22 Yukon.

I know they are not. However, it seems that both are American (yours and mine). I know foreign cars have issues, but all the foreign cars I've owned have not had issues with the transmission. Most of my family members all have foreign cars and they've never been to the shop for a transmission issue.

I understand there are problems, but you'd think a large company like GM would have this dialed in by now.
