At a glance
- Next to the 2023
- At 35 complaints for each year on the road, the 2024 runs below the 2023 (60). That's the only adjacent model year with enough complaints to set beside it.
- Top problem
- One problem takes up much of the file: engine failure, named in 45 of the 105 complaints (43%). A quarter of the 20 owners who gave a mileage for engine failure saw it by about 14,000 miles, and half by about 22,000.
- Crash, fire and injury reports
- 4 of the 105 complaints (4%) report a crash, a fire or an injury, a little under the 6% typical of vehicles on this site.
- Recalls behind the top problems
- engine failure and stalling all have recalls on the same system, and the same campaigns cover them: 25V-274. A recall on the same system doesn't always cover the failure owners describe, so compare its summary with the complaints.
- When owners filed
- Complaints are still climbing. 2025 brought 61, the most of any year so far. So far in 2026, 41 more have come in.

How this compares
105 complaints is 1.3 times fewer than the median 2024 model on this site and 1.4 times fewer than the median 2024 SUV. Among the 8 Yukon model years here it ranks 7th for complaints. Counts follow sales volume as much as reliability, so a truck that sells 700,000 a year draws more reports than a sedan that sells 200,000.
