I can't wait but maybe a month. We went and looked at the new Ford raptors last night and they are awesome.

So you're stuck with the GMs, IIWY I'd be test driving a lot of them - IIRC I drove around 10 and found only 2 that were acceptable

We are dealing with that as well with our 15. They are claiming the entire steering shaft needs replaced while I'm fighting with them to do the tsb that replaces sleeve and spring. I wouldn't care except it will be out of pocket as we are past 36k.

It's $300 vs $1200. From what I've read here and other places, the steering column/shaft is not the issue. Two dealers now and they don't have a clue. I Tried to push GM to cover the repair given it is a known problem with the 15s but no luck.

GM customer service is a joke and that's being nice. If Ford did the 18 Expedition/Navigator right, GM will be forced to change as they will lose a lot of buyers based on the '15-17 trucks.

Yeah i honestly don't think most dealerships even know what to do with these vehicles. Every problem we had it took 2-3-4 even 5 tries for them to get the problems fixed. My husband has owned 5 fords and never had any issues but we have owned 6 GM cars and now 3 have been bought back by GM and the rest have had some major issues. My 2012 Chevy Tahoe died on me while going 40 down a major street and it took GM 3 tries to fix it! I'm pretty much done with GM I think. The more I think about all the issues we have had the more I want to step away from them. Sad because the Yukon is a really nice comfortable family car.

I have always driven GM products. Iv'e had very good luck over the last forty years. What I find interesting is that 3 model years into this platform GM still doesn't have it right. I was always told don't buy a car the first year out, let them work the bugs out. But come on it's been three years. GM get your shit together!!!!!!

If I were buying a $50,000-$70,000+ SUV, I wouldn't be test driving multiples just to find one or two that were "acceptable". It should be more like "only 2 were not exceptional".

At least you'll always be broke down in style and comfort!

True... it's the hour I spend at the dealership getting a rental and then having to drive a not so nice rental for weeks at a time and moving 2 car seats over when I'm paying over $1,000 a month for my Very nice Yukon.

Boy does it seem that the more boxes you tick, i.e. 4 wheel drive, 6.2 engine/8 speed transmission, extended wheelbase, the more likely you are to get a bad apple out of the bunch. Thought of checking out a regular length SLT Yukon or LTZ/Premier Tahoe?

We have a 2015i 4WD LTZ, and were apparently lucky enough to get a good apple. Very interesting to read threads like this one.

It's very disappointing to hear gm has bought back 3 of your vehicles. Ive always a dodge fan. Had 2 of them before my 2006 denali and they never let me down. They weren't without issue as no used car truly is but both were solid. I was pretty hesitant to go with gm when I bought my 2006 just because I'd never had one before. But in the 2 years I've had it, it's been a very reliable truck. Not without issues, but the issues I've had I'd expect given the amount of miles my truck has. It's never left me stranded anywhere and never had a problem that wasn't fairly standard to fix and get my truck back into commission quickly. So I'm pretty set with gm trucks now. But again very disappointing to see so many issues with the new gm platforms. I like the idea of looking for a gmt900 platform in good condition. I have many clients here that I deal for with that platform and from what I've seen they haven't had major issues. So might be something to look into for you. I see a few for sale at a time here in cali so I'd think you could find one if you know how to shop. Good luck!

I've owned plenty of cars and none have had that many problems and you had 3 that had to be returned. Something is fishy here. In your world you have/had a 50/50 chance of getting a lemon with a GM.

I think the GM products that are the subject of this forum are well engineered, attractive and purposeful vehicles. The negatives of buffeting, buyback posts etc. is distracting and very well could be an attempt by disingenuous entities to smear the brand and potential resale.

Buybacks, lemon discussion and similar should have their own forum. I participate on a number of forums out there and the amount of shill advertising is both increasing and creative.

There are multiple people on here that have had two 15/16 Yukons bought back, so not out of line, IMO. These trucks are flawed. period.

Just got the call GM is buying back our Yukon. I have no clue what to buy tho. I really do love my Yukon but for the money (have a XL Denali 4WD) I just don't see it holding up in the long run. My husband wants a Denali 1500 truck but I think it's the same issue with it not holding up in 4-5 years. What kind of deals is everyone getting? I only got $6,000 off the 1st time and kind of feel I got ripped off but they weren't out very long and I did negotiate with every dealer within 100 miles.

I went through the same thing a couple years ago..gm..purchased mine back because they couldn't fix and gave me a 4k coupon towards any brand new gmc..so I purchased the 2015 yukon and after 30k miles I didn't think it would hold up..so this past weekend I left gmc alone completely and just purchased a2017 Mercedes

 

[Bigboychi]

... And you want another one?

There isn't really many options out there for people who need a lot of room. My husband is 6'5 so even with most midsize SUV's his seat goes all the way back and my kids are tall so they don't fit behind his seat. We almost bought a QX80 and his knees rubbed on the dash.

Wow, you acted quickly. I know you mentioned being concerned about the truck and issues a few weeks ago. What did you go with...GLS?

 

[Bigboychi]

I took my 60k and purchase a brand new Mercedes-Benz..im 6'3. 270lbs. And fits comfortable..5 year 50k mile warranty

In all fairness one wasn't GMs fault it was the dealers. They sold us a Tahoe and it had been in a accident or hit on the lot and they sold it to us as brand new then we found out about it when we found some excess glue around the inside back window. So we went to GM customer service about it and they made it right for us after the dealer wouldn't. The other one was that weird steering GM tried with the Malibus back in the early 2000's.
