Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My 2016 Gmc yukon xl denali's air conditioner started blowing hot air after approx. 30,000 miles. The dealership informed me that I need a new air conditioner condenser and that the part is on national back order. Based on my online research, this seems to be a very common issue with Gmc, chevy and cadillac SUV's/trucks, so wanted to make sure that my complaint was also logged with the many others.”

NHTSA complaint #11111991, filed 2018-07, 23,500 miles“I purchased a 2016 yukon denali brand new from the dealer in october 2016. Since this time the vehicle has been in the shop 5 times. The first time was due to front driver side door not being fully aligned with the front fender. This issue was not resolved as they said it would most likely mess the vehicle up further . In february of 2017 my yukon went back to the dealer for service involving the power running boards not deploying and control panel not illuminating. The control panel was blamed on a software update. …”
NHTSA complaint #11058204, filed 2018-01, 28,000 miles“I was on the ramp going approx. 45-50 MPH accelerating to be able to turn onto the 70 MPH highway when my sunroof exploded. It was like a gun went off in my vehicle. It scared me to death as glass was falling on me. I shut the inside protector and looked around and there were no people, trucks, cars or overpass around. There is glass all over the inside of my vehicle. The pieces continued to fall the rest of my trip. I contacted the dealership immediately and the guy said he never heard of it. Gmc headquarters was no help either. I have read this is a manufacturer defect.”
NHTSA complaint #11183575, filed 2019-03, 44,000 miles“Vehicle is booming and has severe pressure in the cabin at speeds ranging from 38-45mph. The vehicle also has a very rough idle while stopped in drive and a sever vibration at the same speeds listed above. The cabin pressure is causing headaches for my children as well as nausea. I am personally having to clear the pressure from my ears about every 5 miles.”
