GMC Yukon XL
What it says about you
Opinion

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.
20 model years on record, 4,744 complaints filed.
The years to look at closely: 2016 (brake), 2015 (tail), 2007 (takata recall). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.
