Climate System

AC compressor, blower (fan) motor, condenser, evaporator, heater system, automatic climate system, electrical failure, refrigerant leakage.

What Owners Say

Blower (fan) motor

""Bearings failed on in-cabin blower motor. Replaced under warranty same week. It was not safety related, but rather an annoyance.""

Anonymous A., ON (2020 GMC Yukon SLE 5.3-L V8)
Refrigerant leaks

"The air conditioning wasn't blowing cold. The dealer found that the line to the rear of the vehicle had failed. It was quite expensive to replace the line and recharge the system on a 4-year old vehicle."

Anonymous A., MI (2020 GMC Yukon SLT 5.3-L V8)

Electrical Accessories

Cruise control, clock, warning lights, body control module, keyless entry, wiper motor or washer, tire pressure monitor, interior or exterior lights, horn, gauges, 12V power plug, USB ports, alarm or security system, remote engine start, heated or cooled seats, heated steering wheel, headlights, automatic headlights, automatic wipers, wireless charging pad.

What Owners Say

Keyless entry

"The manual shift issue was a result only when the keyless start was used."

Anonymous, MI (2020 GMC Yukon Unsure 6.2-L V8)
Warning lights

"Yukon would go into a manual transmission mode. Vehicle would have to be turned off and turned on again to reset"

Anonymous, MI (2020 GMC Yukon Unsure 6.2-L V8)

Suspension/Steering

Shocks or struts, ball joints, tie rods, wheel bearings, alignment, steering linkage (includes rack and pinion), power steering (pumps and hoses, leaks), wheel balance, springs or torsion bars, bushings, electronic or air suspension.

What Owners Say

Alignment

"New tires are noisy. We think it is aligned wrong again."

Anonymous, (2020 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2-L V8)
Electronic or air suspension

"Check engine light (suspension) keeps coming on. Suspension appears to be sagging."

Anonymous, (2020 GMC Yukon Denali 6.2-L V8)

Body Hardware

Windows, locks and latches, doors or sliding doors, tailgate, trunk or hatch, mirrors, seat controls (power or manual), seat belts, sunroof, convertible top, glass defect.

What Owners Say

Other body problem

""A seat track consists of 2 parts. Once connected to the vehicle, the other to the physical seat. The 2 tracks join together. My seat track had so much play in the track that when I turned right or left, the entire seat shifted in it's own track. Very unsecure. Most notably, I had 3 seats tracks replaced in my 1996 Yukon which indicates GM is using the same faulty part supplier as they did 30 years ago.""

Anonymous A., ON (2020 GMC Yukon SLE 5.3-L V8)

Engine Cooling

Radiator, cooling fan, water pump, thermostat, antifreeze leaks, overheating.

What Owners Say
