1995 GMC Yukon LXE review from North America
"For $30,000 original cost (1996), this is a piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 13,000 miles, both front shocks fell off. At 17,000 and 65,000 (and now at 101,000) total transmission failure. This will be the fourth transmission in this truck which has never towed anything or been loaded with more than 1 or 2 people and few pieces of luggage.
Have replaced alternator three times.
General comments?
It's a great truck to drive. Good power and comfortable. It has been a nightmare to own, however...not knowing when or where the transmission will quit.
