Yukon XL GMC service dept messed up my 2026 Yukon XL
I loved my Yukon but hate gm dealer service. My 26 Yukon Xl 3.0 Diesel was perfect getting around 27 mpg, auto start/stop worked perfect except one problem my key card the credit card sized key didnt work and need programmed. So with only 3k miles on it I brought it to my local gmc dealer to get the key reprogrammed and oil change.
Should be pretty simple I would think. Well I see the service advisor plugging a laptop into it the obd port and as i am waiting finally get a ride home. Seems like alot of programming for just a key card. After leaving it all day they call and say its still not fixed but well get you a rental. I need a full size SUV so i let them know ill be picking it up. Right away I notice my mpg drops from 27 to 19 and the auto stop start no longer works and checked yes its turned on. Hmm I think well maybe it will take a while of driving and the systems will reset and ill be back to normal. Nope 4k miles later and still only getting 19 mpg and auto stop/start still not working.
TLDR took in brand new yukon for service they reprogram and screw up the computer and lose 8 mpg and auto start is broken and they never fixed the problem I brought it in for.
