Money Pit
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY...bought new Yukon in 2017 that stickered for $68k. Had the Yukon to the dealership for all work, including oil changes & tires replacement. Brake lights go out, wireless console cell phone charger still does not work, now, my AC is out and costing me $1500 for a known defect. ALL KNOWN ISSUES but GM would not cover. Condensing unit has a known issue with leak at 70k miles. I live in the North West and did not use my AC from Oct to March, so how did I know the AC was out before warranty? But GM said it is a known issue.

Still Loving my 2017 SLT Yukon
Currently have a little over 81,000 miles on my Yukon. So far no problems with vehicle. Loving gas mileage-averaging 23 mpg on highway/city driving, love the quite and comfortable ride, and the technology is first rate. Getting in and out of the Yukon is a big step, but I like sitting up high while driving. Plus, my first two oil changes/tire rotation were complimentary. So far, no mechanical issues. my wife and I travel quite a bit between home and beach property.

Recommendations
I love my 2016 Yukon GMC XL so much and I have only driven the Yukon XL for the last 15 years and I drove the Suburban 7 years before that. I get a new GMC Yukon XL every year or two max. I wouldn't change anything on my Yukon except the USB Port; they need to stay hot when the car is turned off to allow your cellphone or other smart items to charge while out of the car. I would like to see them add the cup size adjuster to the Yukon and also allow the car to show the speed limit on the screen so that you know how fast or slow you should be driving when you enter a street, road or the highway. Maybe even be able to set restrictions that vibrates or dings when you go over the restricted amount. For example: I would want to know when I'm driving 5 miles or more over that speed limit.

Transmission issues GM won’t stand behind
Bought a brand new 2017 Yukon Denali. Had transmission concerns from the start. Transmission has major issues where it jerks strongly when shifting into reverse or slowing down to stop. It would jerk so strongly it felt like either you ran over an animal or small child or like someone ran into your bumper. We would take it into the dealership and the service department would say they couldn’t replicate the problem and that it must be normal transmission function. They considered it “normal” function even though there were numerous service bulletins for transmission flushes to address the issue that we had completed. Needless to say, it never solved the jerking. After continuing to complain to dealership, they said it was normal and there was nothing they could do about it. It looked like there was also a class action lawsuit about this issue. We decided to stop fighting an up hill battle when the dealership was going to charge us to undergo a more thorough diagnostic check for a jerky transmission we were struggling with since day one. We weren’t gong to stick any money (or waste any more time) into it, but instead offloaded it with 38k miles for a Lincoln Navigator. We buy new business vehicles every few years and we will never own another GM vehicle due to their inferior manufacturing and lousy customer service.
