Would you buy your Yukon or Tahoe again?

homesick · Sep 22, 2018

I just sold an '01 Tahoe I bought in '06. My wife drives an '02 Toyota Sienna we bought new.

In 12 years the only failure on the Tahoe was the fuel pump. The Sienna has been a constant stream of problems; mostly minor ones, but not all.

I'm a life-long Chevrolet customer and have never been stranded by one; never regretted owning one.

I sold the '01 Tahoe only so I could buy my current '95 Tahoe.

Considering how many 15+ models are on the road I do not really feel like there is that much complaining going on. I see as many as 10 in the mornings on a three mile drive to take my son to school. I have an ‘18 Tahoe with 11k on it and have absolutely no regrets about buying it and would certainly buy it again. Good luck with your quest.

Matt in new to this forum . I can tell you I driven them from most reliable car German to least reliable . I driven Mercedes bmw Audi Honda toyota Acura’s . Let me tell you one thing they all have problem. You want reliable buy a Lexus 470 sluggish old interior be inthe 55k range also cramp up like tunas in a can. The rear door is ackward. And at the the end of the day when warrenty is up be sure you don’t get an engine leak that will put you 6k out. It is a boring tuna can vechile that also breAks and parts are expensive. I always had import vechile expensive not reliable as used to be and gas hungry. I switched to American cheap parts to fix find them anywhere and yes any jo go shop can fix it the motor has space to work. I bought a new Tahoe is it comfortable yes is it big yes is roomy for a family yes. Can I find a shop to fix it if I’m in the middle of no where yes like the smoky mountains yes. If you want reliabilty as in the old days you can drive the most expensive tuna can and ugly as heck as an Acura MDX. Full of problem with all that tech stuff they sell you and ugly as hell and tight. I driven one I never go back to Acura I felt I had no personality I’d rather drive a Kia thier fun and cheaper. I bought American not for the cause I do Spend my money wisely first it roomy second comfortable for family and third safe safe safe . To me safe is a Brinks vechile this is as close as a consumer you come to in weight and size for a family and it not a like a truck interior it has more room . Does it consume gas yes it does, but it a trade off no gas then drive a small mini with no space. To me the move the only thing that compares to this is the Toyota seqoyia something like that in spelling. First I hope you know it eats up gas like a mad dog. And the look is 1981. Good luck on your purchase let us know what you decided.

This is off-topic but I want to ask you a favor.

Some of us have a difficult time reading long, run-together posts. Please break posts up into bite-sized paragraphs. It helps some of us read and it also helps the clarity of what you're trying to say.

Thanks.

No! We purchased it new and it’s now a squeaking, rattling, shaking mess with only 55k on it.

Welcome to the club of shaking, squeaking and rattling mines an 2016 with 60k on it.

I've had mine for 10 months, and love it.

Somebody mentioned the Acura MDX. I've driven Hondas over 650,000 miles over the years, and I'm done with them. Their weak spot has always been a lousy electrical system - which is really bad in today's cars with tons of electronic gizmos. Also - the one I traded in with 171,000 miles had 60,000 miles on it's third transmission.

Same with Toyota. I do not understand why their reputation is so good. What other car maker has had to recall chaassis? My wife's Sienna has spent the last 17 years developing new problems-

Engine recall after class action suit, sliding doors that won't slide, headlights that randomly go dark and won't stay repaired, broken door handles, outside mirror that won't maintain position, and more.

Its a cult. They brainwash their customers into believing reliability, and make them the culprit when something goes wrong (you must have done something to it!). And dont get me started on the dealer add ons...

I’ve had 4 Hondas ( 2 Accords and 2 Odyssey’s ) Both Odyssey’s and 1 Accord had catastrophic transmission failures between 105K to 120K. I will never own another one. My trucks will always be GMC/Chevy and Toyota’s for cars
