2024 GMC Yukon Lemon Law Case Study: New Jersey

A 2024 GMC Yukon With Engine, Powertrain, and Electronic Failures

Our client purchased a 2024 GMC Yukon in New Jersey (December 2024). Case notes describe engine failure with metal shavings in the oil, camshaft damage, intermittent power loss while driving, shifting into neutral, 4WD and suspension malfunctions, and infotainment and screen failures. Despite multiple service visits and a full engine replacement, many electrical concerns could not be duplicated. The vehicle underwent 5 repair visits totaling 35 days in repair. Intake indicated the vehicle was in the repair shop for more than 30 days at any time. Current mileage on the odometer: 32,000. The client contacted Easy Lemon for legal assistance under the lemon law.

Case notes record that “The vehicle has undergone 5 repair visits and has spent a total of 35 days in repair.” Further: “the engine had cut off multiple times while driving, and the vehicle shifted into neutral unexpectedly.” And: “The technician found metal shavings in the engine oil and replaced the engine.” Later concerns included “all screens going blank, loss of power steering.”

What Went Wrong

• Engine failure with metal shavings in the oil: June 2025 service found metal shavings in the engine oil; the engine was replaced after the engine had cut off multiple times while driving.
• Camshaft damage: March 2025 service for a tapping sound, check engine light, extended cranking, and an “Engine Power Reduced” alert; camshaft damage confirmed and the lifter was replaced.
• Intermittent power loss while driving: Documented power loss while driving, reduced power during acceleration, and the engine cutting off multiple times.
• Shifting into neutral: The vehicle shifted into neutral unexpectedly during the June 2025 visit that led to the engine replacement.
• Infotainment and screen failures: Recurring 360 camera black screen, rear DVD screens powering on and off, all screens going blank, and related electronic malfunctions that technicians often could not duplicate.

Easy Lemon secured a $20,000 Cash and Keep settlement for our client. Under a Cash and Keep outcome, the manufacturer pays a lump-sum cash settlement and the client keeps the vehicle. Our client paid nothing out of pocket^† for legal representation.
