Since I've owned the hybrid yukon, I've had nothing but issues. GMC only made a limited amount of the hybrid models but due to the issues discontinued manufacturing them. why weren't the vehicles taken off the market? started with the jolting from a stop, to not wanting to go into reverse, check engine light, to hybrid battery not shifting into gear, last power steering locked while driving then not starting at all. had sat at the dealership for 4 weeks now sitting at another hybrid shop awaiting for the inverter converter control to be delivered and put in. have spent thousands in the last 2 months repairing trying to figure out issues.

Well the check engine light came on then the oil light came on I change the oil is still on the battery keeps dying I've already bought three new batteries nothing is working I'll still come out the car is dead check engine light keeps popping on and off the wheel the wheel thing keeps popping in and off I bought new tires it's still popping on and off I just don't know what's wrong
Yukon started dying at stop lights. Check engine light came on. Started to pull out from intersection almost got t-boned when vehicle died. There was a recall for some 2009 yukons for fuel pump control module but gmc said this VIN was not included. Sounds like it is a bigger problem then they are admitting. I guess someone else has to die before something is done! Towed vehicle to mechanic had to replace the fuel pump control module. $690.00. Should be able to get reimbursed for a defected part! Recall should be expanded.
