I took delivery of a brand new 2022 Yukon XL Denali on 8/11/22. Exactly two weeks later the dealer had to pick it up with a flat bed due to multiple system warnings including check engine light and running rough with engine noises. I still have not received any news whatsoever from the dealer. Frankly I’m shocked and getting pretty angry. It was assembled in 7/22 and had less than 10 miles when I drove it off the lot. 6.2L engine. Anyone have a similar situation? Could this still be the pushrod issue? I’m thinking I may just demand a full and complete refund. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It could be the valve spring issue that was causing lifter failures, but I thought those were all purged from the system. Even though you have a late year build for the 22MY there is no telling when the engine was built. Hope it works out for you and I would be pissed off as well.

Sound like the lifter or pushrod, which could lead to the cam. I guess this issue is not resolved being such a recent build. Sorry to hear. takes all the joy out of a new purchase. keep us updated, good luck.

Very sorry to hear this and I would be very pissed off as well. Please keep us updated about how your Dealer and GMC respond to it. I have a 6.2 2022 also. So far no trouble.
Thank you all. I called the dealer again this morning and again I’m waiting for a call back. I then called GMC to explain the situation and get everything on the record. If it is the lifter/pushrod problem - what should I request be done above what they propose? I read they may try to replace only one side and not the other - what does that mean exactly and what specifically should I ask them to do?
The engine on my 2022 Yukon Denali (6.2L) with 13K miles failed with no warnings or messages. We were on a road trip and we are waiting for our dealer in Minnesota to get it home from Montana and fix it.
Could definitely be.........same kind of condition a bad coil would indicate, missing (either fuel or spark) on one cylinder, running rough, etc. Really sucks on a brand new vehicle........I'm surprised (but I guess not) that the part is unavailable.....Did they put you in a loaner?
