Let’s start off with how grateful I am to own one of the best years of GMC Yukon, the 2002 model which has never given me any problems nor left me and child stranded anywhere. When I say the 02 Yukon has been from VA to PA, VA to Chicago through the mountains and down to Alabama and back to VA several times over the years. I want to thank God for that. It’s still running with over 242k on the dash and very reliable. Now fast forward to this hunk of junk 2016 Yukon that I purchased in March with 129k on the dash. So boom, I only had the truck 3 months, my mechanic checked the vehicle before I bought it, the car fax checked out with NFCU. So, I thought I was good to go lol. June, I decide to take a road trip down south to Alabama and Tennessee, cool. I get to Tennessee the truck starts acting janky, no lights on the dash indicating warnings, nothing. I leave Tennessee headed to Alabama, the truck stalls on me in traffic in the mountains of Birmingham, damn near rolled back onto a cop car. You got it, terrified I am, because this truck is too nice and newer to me for it to be leaving me stranded miles away from VA. Some very nice guy helped me get the vehicle to a shop nearby where they verified it was the transmission. I’m crying cause how the heck was I supposed to get home now? Fast forward, I eventually get a tow from Bham to a town called Sylacauga through USAA. Then I had to secure another tow on my own, with the place being so rural, that tow to my family house cost me 400 bucks. Moving forward I eventually secured another tow from my family house to the GMC dealership in VA Beach for another whopping 1500 bucks. Yup, pocketbook is complaining. I have the diagnosis done,199.00 for that. The technician diagnosed the transmission needed to be replaced. So the transmission with the repairs cost me $6,279.15 to get my truck back. Yup, my pocketbook is hiding 😶🌫️ at this point. So while going through this process, I was in contact with GM. They heard my story, apologized lol, basically said that since the vehicle was out of warranty the only thing they could do was help cost assist 10% of my total repair. So they finally sent a reimbursement check of 627.91 lol to help with what? All the money I’m out of with this janky throwed together truck during manufacturing. I feel like GM has to do better when making these vehicles, stand by your brand GM. We as consumers are paying too much for brand new, certified pre owned vehicles for us to be coughing out money like this. It’s tacky and you all at GM a know that your newer models are trash and that’s where they need to go, straight to the dumpster. I don’t feel safe going on another road trip in this truck out of fears for be stranded again and having to reach deep in my pocketbook. With that being said I honestly can say I WILL NOT be purchasing another GM in the future. I’m sorry you lost me as a loyal YUKON a driver. I’m telling everybody don’t buy these trucks. Ok, now bye 👋🏽

2017 GMC Yukon Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 8A)

Let’s see. We have a 2017 yukon xl Denali. Let me list all of our issues. 35,000 miles the ac went out and Gm covered half the repair cost as the bumper to bumper had already expired. Automatic running board motor failed on driver side. Out of warranty time frame $1,000 repair. Middle tv does not function and was told $800-$1000 to repair. Fuel injection got stuck and had to replace the whole left side and cam shaft. $6000 repair that Gm agreed to pay half. Malfunctioning taillight. $800 repair. I have had more problems with this car that has yet to break 100,000 miles. Really stinks as I am not a Ford guy, but I am over GM products.

I purchased my vehicle brand new, I have 130k miles on it and the motor went bad. The engine valve springs went bad about a year ago and now the piston has went bad. This is not a quality product. Please beware and do not buy or get rid of before the warranty is up
To many problems

Raising the gas mileage up to 22 mpg has created major issues. The engine has yet to be refined, the 8 speed trans is also having issues. My son has a 2015 and the kids have broken 2 exterior door handles off, the engine has to be replaced, computer problems (Gremlins). Quality for the price is just not there. I own a 2003 Yukon since new and it has 275k no work has been done on the engine or trans, bottom line is that they are not built the way they used to be. For close to the same price as a Denali, we bought a Mercedes Benz GLS 450, tows what we need, better warranty, built like no other SUV, and much better resale value. Dealer customer service is also second to none. Drop it off once a year for oil change service and inspection, get a loaner with out even asking.
