Concerns with new generation Yukon

[Thislife1977]

I’ve heard horror stories regarding this generation Yukon. Can anyone report a “no issue” post?

Ordered my 2021 Tahoe LT in June, picked it up late September, about 2,500 miles to date. No issues. Love it. Best SUV I've ever had and a significant improvement in every way over my 2012 Yukon.

No issues what-so-ever. 2021 Yukon Denali with Duramax 3.0 Turbo Diesel. Last vehicle was a Toyota 4Runner Limited and the GMC is far, far superior in every way.

No issues whatsoever. AT4 Yukon.

No issues on my Tahoe with 4 or 5 family trips and daily driving. Best vehicle I've ever owned and better spec'd than any of the competition by far. You will always find horror stories on car forums, it does not represent the experiences of the majority.

This is so true. GM makes a hundred thousand plus of these vehicles a year. How many people have problems. How many people actually seek out these forums because they have a problem or two? A small percentage of the vehicles sold, I figure.

Yep and of the thousands of them that have been on the roads for over half a year now and I've only read about a handful of catastrophic failures which is what you would expect for any vehicle from any manufacturer. Yes there are alot of TSBs but if you buy a new vehicle they will all be fixed already. Not to mention not all of them apply to all earlier vehicles and its mostly minor stuff anyways considering a top to bottom redesign.

No issues with my Yukon Denali (Ultimate Package). Purchased back in October last year. About 7 or 8 family road trips, my daily driver, and 11k miles later still rolling strong.

Not as lucky. We are in litigation with GM for the lemon law in Michigan. Ours was in the dealership for over 33 days due to fuel delivery problems and now it is known there is a batch of bad lifters and valve springs. There has been multiple recalls and over 200 TSBs. I would hold off until the 2022's come out. Hopefully by then GM will get a grip on the quality issues with their vendors.

I have 1983 miles on mine, so far the only issue was a little creaking in the passenger side of the dash when hitting a decent sized bump in the road -- Houston roads will put any car to the test (my wife's BMW had a similar issue when it was new, accept hers was along the headliner)! Anyhow, the dealer adjusted the area under the speaker, and I haven't had any issues since.

My Yukon Denali was manufactured and delivered in Febuary 2021.

Edit (6/9/2021): Had a #2 cylinder lifter failure at 5,070 miles. Currently in the shop for repairs.

not a yukon, but a tahoe... i've had my '21 tahoe since OCT '20 and have 7k miles on it so far... not a single issue...

13K on my Z71. No issues

Well, the OP has the answer, as it seems like a resounding 'no issues' from the overwhelming majority of folks with the new trucks. No manufacturer is perfect, and not all of the trucks coming off the assembly line are perfect.

Roll the dice on the purchase and see what happens, as it appears that the odds are in your favor.

Go test drive one and see what you think of the quality. I did and I'm waiting.

I test drove a Z71. Not “exactly” the AT4 but still loved the ride!

Test drives are business it's not high school where we make eye contact and fall in love.
