Model years to avoid

GMC Yukon

What it says about you

Opinion

A Tahoe with better trim. Everyone in the family fits and there is still room behind them.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

22 model years on record, 4,643 complaints filed.

The years to look at closely: 2015 (tail), 2007 (door). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

What owners report, and when

Faults that dominated the complaints of more than one model year. Not the same question as which year to avoid — a car can have an ordinary number of complaints every year and have most of them be about the same thing.

  • lifters 2021, 2022 peak 11% of that year's complaints
  • traction 2007, 2014 peak 7.3% of that year's complaints
