Our reliability study for this generation GMC Yukon includes details on average repair costs, manufacturer recalls, and everything you need to know to gauge the long-term reliability of this generation GMC Yukon .
Trouble Spots
Consumer Guide's® Auto Editors have scoured repair bulletins and questioned mechanics to search
for commonly occurring problems for a particular vehicle. In some cases we also give possible manufacturer-suggested
solutions. In many instances these trouble spots are Technical Service Bulletins posted by the manufacturer,
however, we have our own expert looking at additional vehicle problems.
Automatic transmission:
Automatic transmissions may suffer harsh or shuddering shifts between first and second or may buzz or vibrate in park or neutral. (1992)
Climate control:
The temperature control lever may slide from hot to cold, usually when the blower is on high speed. (1992-94)
Dashboard lights:
The oil pressure gauge may read high, move erratically, or not work because of a defective oil pressure sensor. (1992-93)
Engine knock:
Engine knock is usually eliminated by using an oil filter with a check valve. If this does work, GM has revised PROMs for the computers, or engine may require main bearings. (1995)
Engine misfire:
A problem with the powertrain control module may cause a lack of power, early upshifts, late shifting in the 4WD-Low range, and otherwise erratic performance. (1996)
Engine noise:
The exhaust valves may not get enough lubrication causing a variety of noises. Usually, the same engine consumes excess oil because the valve guide seals on the exhaust valves are bad. (1996)
Engine temperature:
Overheating and coolant loss may be due to rough surface on radiator filler neck. Neck should be sanded smooth and cap replaced. (1999)
