If your GMC Yukon has recurring problems that won’t go away, it may be considered a lemon.
Under the California Lemon Law, a lemon is a vehicle with recurring problems that will not go away, despite a reasonable number of repair attempts by authorized repair facilities. These problems must negatively impact the use, safety or value of your vehicle.
Many owners and lessees of GMC Yukon vehicles report problems that do just that. Learn more about common problems that 2013–Present GMC Yukon, owners and lessees report in their vehicles. If one of these problems repeatedly appear in your GMC Yukon, you may need to talk to a lemon law attorney about your case.
Steering Problems

Common GMC Yukon steering problems may include clicking, binding, rubbing or odd noises while turning, seizing of the steering wheel, unexpected surges, locking of the steering wheel, and unexpected loss of power steering.
