2022 Gmc Yukon

2022 GMC Yukon: the engine dominates the owner complaints

Owners filed 153 complaints with NHTSA. The engine is by far the most reported area at 60%, well ahead of the electrical system (17%) and power train (15%). No crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths are reported across any area. Engine and powertrain concerns make up the bulk of the reports, so focus a test drive on how the engine starts, runs, and shifts.

Most reported areas

Engine0 60%
The single biggest complaint by a wide margin: 92 reports (60%). No crashes, fires, or injuries reported, but it is the area to watch most closely. Listen for unusual engine noise on start-up or any sign of the engine cutting out.
Electrical System0 17%
Second most reported: 26 reports (17%), with no crashes, fires, or injuries. Check that warning lights, overhead console controls, and other electrical features all work as expected.
Power Train0 15%
23 reports (15%), with no crashes, fires, or injuries. Watch for rough or jerky shifting and odd noises when accelerating or changing speed.
Engine And Engine Cooling0 7%
A smaller but recurring area: 10 reports (7%), with no crashes, fires, or injuries. Reports center on starting trouble and the engine warning light coming on.
Fuel/Propulsion System0 6%
The fewest complaints in the top five: 9 reports (6%), with no crashes, fires, or injuries. A minor area, but note any unusual cooling-fan behavior on start-up.
