“Another mess with my 2016 Yukon sle. The A/C condenser went out at just over 60k miles -- $1600 total in repair cost. Apparently this is a known issue and GM has issued special refunds for this exact problem in prior years 2015 and before -- but has not yet done so with the 2016 year even though it is the same part and issue. I am paying to get this fixed today and counting on the special refund if not a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11218876, filed 2019-06, 64,000 miles“I have 3 year old Gmc Yukon xl and the condenser has gone out on it. This is about a $1,600 repair due to Gmc's poor design of the location of the condenser. The labor alone is about 8 hours to replace and I find this very wrong of Gmc to do to customers of such an expensive vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11209792, filed 2019-05, 72,000 miles“My AC started blowing hot air. The air compressor was changed twice. After changing it the last time I started getting the service power steering light on and y steering wheel locks up. No power steering. This is very dangerous and seems to be come type of wiring problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11219532, filed 2019-06, 90,000 miles“Water leak due to bad front windshield seal, water leak through GPS antenna, four wheel drive module was bad, dvd player stopped working, and lastly a horrible vibration that occurred around 77-83 MPH. To the point the vehicle did not feel safe to handle. Trim on the b post kept coming loose. This all occurred in over a years period of time. This was my second vehicle because I traded in my 2015 tahoe because it was having many of the same issues and more. …”
NHTSA complaint #11083748, filed 2018-04, 25,800 miles“The antenna on the Yukon gets water in it when it rains. It has messed up my GPS system and my on star system is not working. It has leaked into the SUV. This happens every time it rains.”
