We purchased a 2021 Yukon Denali a week ago.  3x now, several lights have came on and the 1st time a VERY strong rotten egg/Sulfur smell (cat. Converter smell)...  Shut the engine off and all lights go off until you drive it again for about 30 min then come back on.  SERVICE ESC, SERVICE STABILITRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, FRONT END COLLISION AND CHECK ENGINE.  Right before these lights all come on the vehicle starts to idle very rough almost like it has a miss in the engine and continues until you shut the engine down....  HELP, we have less than 450 miles!!!!!

go to the dealer and have them fix it for free?

Yeah but that is obviously frustrating for $75,000 car. And he is documenting it for the rest of us to know.

Dealer is sending a tow truck to pick it up and bringing me a rental car.  I posted to see if anyone else was having a similar issue and knew what was causing the problem.

Well, it could be like that until the "HELP, we have less than 450 miles!!!!!" part...

 

Anyway, I hope the O.P.'s dealer can get it fixed quickly.

And that would be the “frustrating“ part. Have you ever said something emotional when you were frustrated?

So what was the cause? My new 2015 did it twice in the first few miles, all kinds of codes. I brought it back they reset and it did it again. It was codes made the vehicle run funny. It turned out to be the coatings on the exhaust pipes and manifolds that created the problem as it burned off. It should have a stopped within 100 miles or so. I was going on a long trip so it got hot enough that it stopped and all the lights went to normal .

I'm having a similar problem: 2021 yukon Denali with 200 miles on it. Similar lights on. Same rough idle. Cruise doesn't work either. Just started tonight. I wouldn't say the smell is boiled eggs though - more like burning plastic but that's not it either.

The smell was there since the first day we got it. Dealer said it was just because it was new. My truck (2013 silverado) never did that though.

Taking it in tomorrow. Hopefully just the coil as well.

What did the problem end up being? We bought a 2021 Yukon XL 3 months ago. This morning, it started making a loud clunking sound while idling really rough. Now the dashboard is lit up with all sorts of service required notifications. Traction control, real axle off, service esc, etc. The car only has 3000 miles on it. We bought it brand new off the showroom floor.

Pushrod, lifter or valve spring. Luckily you are still under warranty.

No, have them tow it and give you a loaner.

I am working out of state and the dealership doesnt have a loaner and the nearest Enterprise is 50 miles away.  Just got an email from Diagnostics, it says that the emission needs servicing.

In the last three weeks we have had 3 of the new yukons come in with bent pushrods and misfire codes. All were the newest version of cylinder deactivation. We cant keep up with all the engine work lately. GM better pull there head out of there asses and come up with something better than this dynamic skip fire system. They all had between 3500 - 13000 miles on them. Between the afm lifters collapsing, the valve springs breaking and the oil consumption problems its a never ending stream of heavy engine work........

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
