Is 179 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2022 and 2026, roughly 39 a year, which is more than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2022 has 179 complaints on file, fewer than the 2021 (327) and fewer than the 2023 (236). Of the 17 model years of the GMC Yukon we cover, the 2015 has the most (528). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
