Complaints owners filed with NHTSA naming each system, per model year; a bold count links the year’s own page on that system. Counts scale with sales and with time on the road; nothing here is a rate, and NHTSA’s headings are coarse (“Power Train” is the transmission and the driveline).
Common questions
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseWhich GMC Yukon system draws the most complaints?
Engine: 1,475 complaints across 12 model years, 51% of everything owners filed about the GMC Yukon. A count, not a rate — it says nothing about how many were sold.
Which GMC Yukon year has the most complaints?
2021 (559), 2016 (517), 2023 (458). Older years have had longer to collect them; the year pages show each year's share by system.
