NHTSA complaint #11115679, filed 2018-08, 50,000 miles“The yukon's automatic transmission can get very jerky when accelerating from a stop, especially when the engine is cold (first 10-15 mins of driving). City driving seems to be the main environment when the transmission jerkiness occurs. The jerkiness started subtly around 75,000 miles, and now at almost 100k miles, the issue has only gotten more severe. Accelerating from a stop uphill and around turns are times when it's more prone to jerk. The best way I can describe it would be a lag in gear shifting caused by some type of delay the car's electronic control system. …”
