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........

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
