GM is buying back my Yukon

[sam123]

I currently own a 2015 Yukon Denali XL which is loaded with a whole bunch of options. I bought it CPO with about 9000 miles on it. I purchased it from NC and went there to pick it up and drove it home to NYC from the dealer. I've had it about a year and so far put about 9000 miles on it. Last year the Wife to be and I took several trips with our new truck; 1st trip was from NYC to Canton, Ohio (Football HOF), then to Eerie, PA, then to Niagara Falls, NY and then back to NYC. That trip was a week long and I did all the driving. My Wife does not drive. Lol. 2nd trip was NYC to NC. Third trip was NYC to Orlando FL, then to North Charleston SC, then back to NYC. So far, I had had 0 issues with steering or buffering on any of the other issues mentioned. I did have an issue with the trim coming lose on the doors though. The Dealer ordered brand new trim for all doors and replaced it FOC and I've had no problems with it since. So, I have about 17000 miles on my truck and no major issues. Is it too early for those buffering or steering issues to surface? Should I be concerned? I'm really getting nervous reading some of your posts. I'm hoping to hold onto this truck at least 2 maybe 3 years before trade. Should I be concerned with these steering and buffering issues "popping" up???

You'd have seen these issues way before 17,000 mls. You should be okay.

Thanks everyone for all the advice. GM finished the buy back last week and I got a 2017 Ford Raptor 2.5 weeks ago and I have to say my husband and I are in love with our decision.

You know this requires pictures, right? Congrats on the new truck.

Yes, lets see pictures of the new truck! Love the new Raptors but around here they are going for nothing less than sticker and a lot of the times going for over sticker.

Out of all the vehicles I've owned I can say with confidence GM was the least of my issues.All my ford units were pretty decent except the F150's where I had transmission issues.Anything dodge/jeep/FCA is a total write off...pure garbage.
Sorry to hear about your Yukon it's really too bad GM hasn't gotten their shit together on the platform because by far it's the best looking out there!

Yeah in Southern California they were going for $15,000-$30,000 over sticker so I finally found one in New Mexico with everything I wanted on it for $4,000 over sticker and then had it shipped here for $500. The truck is a beast and the back seat is huge, a tall adult fits behind my 6'4 husband. We got the avalanche color it's a really awesome grey color. Getting new rims this week and the bed cover comes tomorrow.

Awesome! Looks great. I actually really like the wheels on there.

Congrats on the raptor, it looks great! I've had numerous Ford pickups since 1998 and they've all been basically trouble free.

Speaking of Ford, my wife was supposed to be given a Tahoe rental last week but ended up in a '17 expedition instead, which had the ecoboost v6 in it. I believe the raptor has an even more powerful version of that engine? Anyway, I had to eat my prior words on the idea of a 6 cyl in a fullsize suv like that. I drove it for over 8hrs and literally did not notice the transmission shifting unless I looked at the dash readout, and it never lacked for power at all.

I was very impressed across the board with this vehicle. Reading horror stories like you had with your GM SUV and many others here and elsewhere has me evaluating other options.
