2004 GMC Yukon SLT review from North America
"If you have some extra money sitting around for possible repairs, then a Yukon is a good choice"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First the transmission is slow to change when driving at a slow speed.
Today, I was backing from a drive and when I cut the card to the left, I heard a huge pop and what appeared to be a vacuum/air noise.
It has been diagnosed that the power steering pump is out causing the brakes and the power steering not to work. The shaft... of some sort is also broken.
I'm waiting now for the dreaded phone call on how much this repair is going to be. I hope I don't have to park my Yukon in the garage until a brighter day.
General comments?
I love my Yukon, but it has definitely not been worth what I paid for it. They really took me to the cleaners.
