Some GMC Yukon XL owners report experiencing unexpected engine shutdowns while driving, which may be attributed to several potential issues. One common cause cited is a lack of fuel reaching the engine, which can lead to sudden engine failure. Additionally, electrical problems, such as a faulty alternator, battery, or loose wiring connections, are also known to result in unexpected shutdowns. Some owners have identified a broken wire to the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) as another possible reason for the engine cutting off. It is recommended that owners check for any error codes from the vehicle's system to aid in diagnosing the issue. For those facing this problem, consulting a qualified mechanic for an accurate diagnosis and resolution is advisable.
