2024 GMC Yukon
This year drew an ordinary 151 complaints for a GMC Yukon — the model's median is 186. What they were about is the unusual part: 7.3% of them mention appeared, against 2.5% across the other years of this generation.
Generation 3 of the GMC Yukon, which began in 2021. Everything below compares this year against the others in that generation, not against a different car wearing the same name.

What owners wrote
While driving I had a sudden loss of power. Contacted dealership and was ask for engine code light. Told them no light had appeared on dashboard. Did note intermittent shift changes while driving after this occurrence. Transmission and or engine feels like it…

How this was worked out
Every year of the GMC Yukon was compared against its own history rather than against other cars, which removes popularity and age from the answer — a common car draws more complaints at equal reliability, and an older one has had longer to accumulate them. A year is flagged when it drew at least 2.5× this model's median and at least 50 complaints.
This is a fault record, not a review. Nobody files a federal complaint to say the car was fine, so it shows what tends to go wrong — not whether owners liked it, and not whether it is a good car.
