They have been offering rear coil springs with auto leveling air shocks for a loooooooong time in the full size suv market, which in my opinion is much better than just an air system alone. Are you saying the irs rigs now dont have auto leveling shocks anymore? I honestly havnt looked under the back of my wifes high country to see. I will be really disappointed if they dont. I knew I didnt want full air suspension, but would absolutely like the air shocks.
Yes --- on the current generation the only load leveling suspension is the full 4 corner air suspension. The MRC shocks don't auto-level.
Well thats a bunch of shit. They have had mrc air shocks in the rear for years…wtf.
I guess I wasn't trying to say full on air ride, but more the rear air shocks that wear out and fail on a pretty regular basis and leave your ride quality all clapped out. As it recall it's pretty common on the caddys over the years. Lots of broke ass looking fords running around too with failed air shocks. Or be it compressor failure or a broken air line or whatever. Conventional suspension doesn't just give up the ghost overnight like can and does happen with air shocks. More complicated system just means more complicated problems IMO
Yes i do agree to an extent. Full on air suspension scares me…one little failure and the entire suspension can be on the bumpstops. I find it crazy that some big rigs (simis, dump trucks etc.) have full air suspension too.
Agreed - not sure that I have seen another one like that - I originally posted the pic. My (now former) Yukon is the one to the right. I drove by the lot this evening - two more added to the waiting-for-parts pile - five weeks and counting for repair parts. I sold mine back to a GM dealer last week. It is an interesting world for sure - drove it a year and it was still worth more than what I paid (including the lost sales tax). Now, I am patiently waiting to see whether German engineering can live up to its reputation (I know that is naive). Anyone know if there’s a board for MB GLS450’s!?! Take care.
Hello,
Sorry to hear about your trouble - it is shocking and ended my lifelong support for the brand - more than ten yukons or 'burbans in total for me - most were new. I too was sent home the first time only to have it collapse completely and start the from tires wearing in an unsafe manner. Update that you request - about three weeks into waiting for a long list of parts (with no loaner), I gave up and sold my '21 AT4 to the GM dealership that is now attempting to repair it - different dealer than the selling dealership and my sale had nothing to do with lemon law for what that it is worth. Because of the bizarrely constrained world we live in, I literally got more $ for it than what I paid new, a year ago after 11k miles, even after accounting for lost sales tax - maybe that's a route for you - check the KBB values. Because my "old" Yukon still sits near a road on my way to and from work, I can see that they must still be waiting on parts in the same spot - that's about a six week wait (probably enough for the applicable lemon law to be relevant if I still had it) though I do see that many of the other units in the same "deflated" condition have now moved from the graveyard and maybe that means a fix is in the works for others??? My research before I sold: most northern tier (cold) dealers were without parts; most of the needed parts are made in Mexico; some northern dealers had failures as the units were unloaded from the transport and had yet to even hit the lot; and finally, some service writers were more open than others and shared that the fixes being recommended were deemed temporary to them. As for a rental, GM (via customer care) will cover ~$50 per day if you can find something but it won't be a $75,000 SUV. As for my research into alternatives, sadly, I am waiting for German engineering to solve all my troubles (joke) as I ordered a '22 Mercedes GLS 450 that should arrive in a month. Sorry this isn't much help for you.
It is, it says below 0F (-15C) in the documentI wish the temperature described on the NHTSA alert was more defined rather than broadly described as "very cold"..
..because to someone from Buffalo NY that's like 20 below zero, whereas the wifey here in Georgia thinks 20* is very cold

Who knows, one would think they would make an engineering change to incorporate fixed seals if that is the problem. I’m in Minnesota and have a 2022. It’s soaked for 10ish hours at -10 already with no issues. About 11.5k miles on the rig. Owned it 11 months now. Was built 1/6/2022. I’d not sweat it and order it up.
Like with any vehicle it's one of those things that some vehicles will have issues with and others will be issue free
