Bob2C,

Thanks for the link. I read that and with the discussion I had from GM here in Canada on Friday as well as the dealer both telling me injectors are consumables and not covered beyond the 60,000 km warranty I am still wondering if they will see my point as I'm not into owning a $90,000 paperweight.

 

Cheers,

I am having issues with my brand new 2015 GMC Yukon Denali. I was so excited to get this new car. It had a leak in the back right rear window from the start. They had to replace the entire headline

I found this thread because my brand new, this weekend, 2015 Denali XL feels rough to me as well. Before I took delivery, I felt it and had them take it back to service and they put it on the computer

I'd like to know the issue. My Yukon has 17k miles on it and still has a rough idle. I just came from the dealer and they won't trouble shoot it because it is not giving a trouble code.

“This special coverage only applies to vehicles in these states: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. “

 

This is the answer back from the dealer - short story it is NOT applicable to vehicles in Canada which is disheartening to know that there is a double standard. After 25 years of not having a GM product this sort of thing is ticking in the wrong column of wanting to...

That’s sucks. I never could figure out why things were different in Canada if the trucks were produced at the same factory.

Nor can I but it is what it is. My point back to the manager of the service department today is explain why then 2, 6 and 8 (all from what I know to be the same side of the block) have failed? only #4 outstanding. I'm thinking it is a common rail or a high pressure fuel pump or a computer issue...

No response yet. 

 

I'm not a mechanic but I can make things go fast...

Have you looked to buy them online and replace yourself? I have replaced injectors on other cars and it’s a simple process.

Well not specifically but having done it on a few diesels it isn't all that hard. Trouble is I don't have any specific GM scanner or any such thing like. Besides, if it is something else (as I think it is - being all one side of the block) I can't check for that in my garage. 

 

As well, the truck is only 22 months old and having to do this sort of thing that soon is not something a guy should have to do.

Well based on everything I have read so far, I will admit I'm a bit frustrated and stuck in this somewhat less than stellar warranty but the level of frustration is not worth trading it in (yet) and paying more for a new one.

I am in a slightly positive equity position on the sell vs loan prices but that still doesn't offset the increased burden in capital. So I figure I will put up with the hit and miss service issues and let them sort it out until I expire the warranty which for me is likely going to be around June of 2020. Then if I have any more to do I will only be looking at 1 or 2 to do somewhere else, or myself.

 

My issue with all of this is that that all the replaced items are all on the same bank so far (2, 6 and 8 ) replace 4 and that's an entire side. Not a single sales person who wants to sell me a new one has ever heard of this let alone of multiple injector failures which because I'm new to GM after 25 years I missed that as a major ask when originally looking at the truck.

 

This just bugs me.

 

Wife took the truck this morning so I can't get that data logger in until later today.

 

Fun times.

So, after another lengthy discussion with another service manager and offered some additional insight which was helpful. The last part of it was to contact customer care and open a case file. So, I am officially that guy. I'm not here to throw anyone under a bus - I just want a problem fixed and I will do my part to do it, fully understanding that there are a lot of it in my control. The big one, which I don't like is that I was told to use premium fuel, yet it states it is recommended, not required - ok fine. Next was to change the fuel filter, sure but perhaps a premature as again, going that far back in the system would beg that all injectors (both sides) are affected and not just one bank.

Anyway, that is where we left it today.

Are you throwing anymore codes? I had a shutter at idle while in drive after the car has warmed up so I did some digging. There is a tsb out for motor mount replacement for that exact cause. Had mine done last week. I’d say it’s about 95% corrected.

That's unreal.

 

I ran my code reader / data logger yesterday and no codes or for that matter unusual idle conditions. It is just frustrating that it doesn't happen enough to pin point the issue. Again, I don't think this has anything to do with the dealer as they can only do what is present and I totally understand that BUT I still think it is something that if not addressed will kick me hard when the warranty expires next spring / summer.

So, the GM customer care in Canada was little help - not entirely her fault but funny how the story she was provided from the dealer was not true. She was told that they were logging the vehicle misfire count and codes - and I said, that would be great but hard for them to do when they don't have the truck in their shop. She was like what? I said, yes, me as a consumer / owner have installed my own data logger and will be doing my own case development. She tells me that's not right and I agreed but right now I have no choice. 

 

I'm still looking hard at trading it in for a 2019 but don't want to get into another can of worms.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
