What owners wrote
Said vehicle maintains a defect that substantially impairs its use and safety and does not conform to applicable warranty provisions. The vehicle's infotainment/intellilink system became completely dysfunctional on january 14, 2017, and said condition was reported to gmc's infotainment customer support via telephone on this date (service request number: 8-2666432517).
After refueling my yukon, pulling out into traffic, the yukon's RPM gage started jumping up and upon accelerating, the yukon would not move. I was able to put the yukon in 'm' gear and slowly drive another mile before I was unable to drive the yukon at all. Vehicle had to be towed.
