Known Issues for This Vehicle

Brake fluid leaks

In hydraulic brake systems, leaks can occur in brake lines, master cylinders, or wheel cylinders, leading to reduced braking efficiency.

Brake fade

Continuous heavy braking can cause the brake fluid to overheat, resulting in a loss of braking power.

Worn brake pads

Regular use wears down brake pads, which can cause squealing noise and reduced braking effectiveness.

Warped brake rotors

Overheating can cause the brake rotors to warp, leading to vibrations and pulsations when braking.

Engine oil consumption

The L86 engine may consume oil more rapidly due to its high-performance nature and the use of Active Fuel Management (AFM).

Carbon build-up

Direct-injection engines like the L86 can experience carbon build-up on intake valves, which can affect engine performance.

Timing chain wear

Over time, the timing chain can stretch or wear out, potentially causing timing issues or engine misfires.

Fuel system issues

The use of E85 fuel can lead to fuel system problems if not properly maintained, such as clogged injectors or fuel pump failures.

Transmission problems

The GMC Yukon has been known to experience issues with its transmission, including rough shifting or transmission failure.

Electrical issues

Problems with the vehicle's electrical system, such as faulty sensors or wiring issues, can affect engine performance and other functionalities.

Cooling system failures

Problems with the radiator, water pump, or thermostat can lead to engine overheating.

Suspension wear

The added weight and performance demands on the Yukon can lead to faster wear of suspension components like shocks, struts, and bushings.

Fuel economy

The V8 engine, especially in a large SUV, tends to have lower fuel economy, which can be a concern for some owners.
