Faults:

Front wheel bearings, pitman arm, battery.

General Comments:

Great tow vehicle. Hauling so many people in it (8 comfy) is easy. Durable and tough truck.

Comfortable ride, with the leather seats and stable to drive. Gas hog (13-14mpg) is the worst complaint, but when you get one of these, you don't buy it for the gas mileage!

I have owned the 2005 version for 5 years, this is same truck. They are known for front wheel bearings and front suspension problems. They also rust horribly at the side rockers and rear quarter panels; make sure to spray it or get it undercoated.

The 6.0 engine is bullet proof, and the L80 trans starts to slip around 170K usually.

Faults:

- Replaced the gauge cluster at 140,000 -- this is a known GM issue, but it was outside the free replacement period. There are plenty of businesses that replace the cluster gauges (just pull it out and mail it to them) at reasonable prices and with quick turnaround. I think our repair cost $80 and we had it back within the week.

- Replaced the A/C at 110,000.

General Comments:

Disclaimer: I am not a fan of GM vehicles and never have been. However, the Yukon has been a great vehicle. Most of the issues that we have had with it have been of the normal wear and tear variety.

Plenty of power, the AWD is great in the snow and ice, tires last a long time, and it's comfortable.

Basic maintenance items (fluids, brakes, filters, lights) are very easy to get to.

Rear seats are reasonably easy to fold down and/or remove.

We've averaged around 15-16 MPG in mixed driving. Although I would probably not buy another Yukon (for our purposes, a minivan would suit us better), I would highly recommend it to someone who is looking for a larger SUV.

Faults:

Just had an oxygen sensor go out in the back. I would strongly recommend this to anyone, as there is no comparison in ride. We love traveling in it, and kids are comfortable and relaxed as they are watching their DVD.

Changed oil every 3,500, and still running strong at 168000. I use it to pull my boat, which is around 4,500 lbs, and pulled it through mountains in TN and NC with no problem.

I love it, and will buy another one when the time comes.

Faults:

Steering shaft replaced at 20,000 miles.

Error messages including Door Ajar, Service Air bag, Service 4wd. Spent $1000.00 dollars at 2 different GM dealers and 1 independent trying to get service air bag message off... still comes on!

Now the 4wd is shifting from 2wd to Auto 4wd on its own.

Recently had to replace ABS brake module, because the pump stayed on even after the ignition was turned off!

Professional Grade means you have to have a professional mechanic on call at all times.

My son has 2005 Tundra that has 250k on it, and not turned a screw. I know what I'm buying next time.

Faults:

Brakes, lights, horn, windows, oil leak, third row seat, heater, seats wearing bad, too many to list.

General Comments:

I love to drive it, super comfortable, mechanically undependable, dealership awful.
