Consumer Description
I purchased my 2020 Yukon Denali on July 8, 2024 from Classic Buick GMC in Painesville, Ohio. The check engine light started going on and off a few months after purchasing the vehicle. When I called a mechanic he stated that I should wait until the light is on and then bring in the vehicle. In early May 2025, I took my vehicle to Mike’s Automotive in Middlefield, Ohio after the check engine light began coming on during extended drives (approximately five hours or more). The shop ran a diagnostic scan and advised that the oil pump needed to be replaced. Seeking another opinion, on May 14, 2025, I brought my vehicle to Classic Buick GMC Service, the dealership where I purchased my GMC Yukon. After diagnosing the vehicle, they advised that the check engine light was related to an Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid stuck in the off position (P06DD). This fix would cost $3,584. This fix would require the oil pump to be replaced as indicated by the previous repair shop. On May 29, 2025, I took the vehicle to Avenue Auto Clinic in Painesville, OH, where the oil pressure valve and sensors were replaced. The mechanic also advised that I change the oil every 3,000 miles, use OEM oil filters, and thicker oil. He also advised me to check the oil every 1,000 oil and add as needed. I do have to add oil approximately every 1,500 miles and I change the oil every 3,000 miles. I am concerned that my vehicle has the same engine-related defect as the Yukon engines currently under recall. Multiple mechanics have informed me that my vehicle is equipped with the same engine as those affected by the recall. I am requesting that my vehicle be added to the recall. Yes, my vehicle is available for inspection.
