NHTSA Complaint #11656039 — 2022 GMC YUKON

Without any signs of an issue the engine seized while driving on the highway, Thursday [XXX]. Thankfully my wife was exiting the highway when the vehicle shifted its transmission into neutral, allowing my wife to coast onto the shoulder. The vehicle would turn on the electronics, however the engine would not attempt to turn over. The vehicle was towed to Carl Black GMC of Kennesaw. I was originally told the transmission was the potential problem but the transmission tech was on vacation until the following Monday the 14th. Once they looked at the vehicle, at that time they determined that it was not the transmission. The engine had seized and that there is at least a 6 month wait for another engine. They have not recommend a further diagnoses of the exact failure within the engine due to the common occurring issue with these engines.
