This is why a real large electric SUV is needed. 2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali lost propulsion at highway speed with my family on board — no warnings. Engine replaced at 30k miles under a special coverage.
Time for a proper three-row electric option that doesn’t leave people stranded.
2024 GMC Yukon XL Denali. ~30k miles.
Driving at highway speed with family. Absolutely zero warnings. Vehicle starts shaking and loses all propulsion.
Towed. Engine needs replacement under GM special coverage N252494003.
Has anyone else had this happen with an L87?

@mtbarra@GMdudeinNA — 2024 Yukon XL Denali lost propulsion at highway speed with family on board. No warnings. Engine needing replaced under special coverage at 30k miles. Looking for answers.
If you’ve had a similar L87 failure (especially after the special coverage work was already done), feel free to reply. Trying to understand how widespread this is.
Dealer also noted there is no permanent factory fix for soot that has been dropping under the brand new vehicle since shortly after we bought it in early 2024.
Sudden loss of propulsion at highway speed.
No warnings, messages, or lights beforehand.
Family was in the vehicle with me.
Already had the special coverage inspection and oil update completed.
Dealer confirmed engine replacement needed.
Flew @United with @Starlink for the first time a few months ago. Until you experience it yourself, it’s hard to explain how liberating the experience can be. It’s just WiFi—no. It’s a high-tech office 30,000 feet above sea level. Once you experience it, your perspective on air travel changes. And flying on airlines with legacy satellite internet (@Delta) is like going from an iPhone back to a flip phone. @elonmusk@SawyerMerritt@garyleff
@mrfboyer You’re correct nobody is changing an existing flight for internet access. However, changing habits for future flights is already happening. Price and convenience are important to casual travelers. Business travelers care about fast internet. @Starlink@elonmusk
@DirtyTesLa How would you describe the zen grey interior? Does it look white? Off white? Cream?
And how does the sound system compare to your other Teslas?
@SawyerMerritt@Starlink@elonmusk This was my WiFi experience yesterday flying @Delta.
The connection was so slow that SpeedTest didn’t load.
I messaged customer care to get a refund. Their own website disconnected!
Starlink is available now. Why wait Delta?Will be flying @united whenever possible.
