Love my 2021 Yukon SLT

I love this SUV, super comfortable, elegant, smooth ride and beautiful. The turning radius is impressive. I was afraid it would be too big for me to drive as this is the largest vehicle I’ve ever owned, but once your get driving it doesn’t feel so big. I haven’t had any problems except for a leaky hatchback window, the dealership replaced the weatherstripping and it’s all good. Love it!

Bluetooth, navigation & steering column problems

Paid 72k for a "luxury" Yukon Denali and they can't even get the basics right. $15,000 cars don't have these problems. My Bluetooth audio connection works half the time. The other half I have phone but no music. And it's not the phone, its the car. Phone works great connected to any other Bluetooth car or device. And it's not only music, can't listen to books, podcasts, anything from phone. Already had to have the entire steering column replaced. It made random clicking noises for months and finally locked itself into the least comfortable driving position. Part had to be ordered so I drive this way for 2 months. By far the worst feature of all: the navigation is deliberately disabled while driving. It only works when in park. So the ONLY time I need it I don't have it. So the vehicle has no navigation. I have to use my phone like a teenager in an old car. I will never ever buy a GM vehicle for this reason alone. How dare you disable such a basic feature. This is allegedly a safety feature. Following that thinking, disabling the engine would make the vehicle the safest it could possibly be. And I suppose using phone navigation makes people safer. Absolutely pathetic. I miss my Range Rover.

Third GMC Yukon in a row. Sold my 2015 because of issues and got into a bigger mess. Less than 10,000 miles and has been towed twice. GMC dealer says they are all jacked up but GM hasn’t provided a fix yet. Stay away.

82k Denali, less than a year old with just over 8,000 miles. Dropping it off at the dealership for what sounds like a broken lifter. Buyer beware.

Stay away from GMC Yukon SLT

Bought mine in September. Right after I got it I had to take it for a brake module recall. Only has 4000 miles on it and I have had it towed in twice for all electrical shutting down. They say it's because of the radio updates. Getting scared to even drive it anymore because it shuts down without any notification. Gets stuck in park and says everything needs to be serviced. Tow truck driver says they tow a lot of the 2021 Yukon's in. I had a 2012 Yukon Denali and I loved it. I wish I never traded it in. This has been the 2nd time for the same issues. I agree with everyone else with the comments and issues they have with their complaint. GMC needs to recall all of these vehicles and fix these issues with the electronics. They just don't seem to care about the safety of the people that depended on the GMC product. Especially what we pay for these vehicles.
