My 2017 GMC YUKON’S TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE. THE SUV WILL JERK AND JOLT WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING WHEN YOU NEED TO RELEASE THE GAS PEDAL AND PRESS DOWN AGAIN IN ORDER TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THIS CAUSES AN EVEN MORE SUDDEN JOLTING. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS A FAMILY VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE A NEWBORN. I ASK A RECALL BE SUBMITTED SINCE I SEE SEVERAL REPORTS OF A SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE 2017 GMC YUKON.
We took the car into the dealership and complained about the AC and the vehicle being new and they said it was a common problem with this vehicle and offered 10% discount.
Air-Conditioning condenser failure (Special Coverage Adjustment 173326 Air Conditioning Condenser (Combi-Cooler) Refrigerant Leak) According to GM they say my VIN is not on the list...however, I'm having the exact same issue on my 2017 Yukon with 38k miles on it.

My husband and I were driving down the freeway with our three children when without any warning, we heard a loud explosion and what felt like something hit our vehicle. There were no other cars near by. When we pulled off the freeway into a gas station to look at the vehicle the sunroof had a huge hole in the center. The remaining class attached to the vehicle was all shattered. There was shattered class on the closed shade. We didn't know what happened. It was very traumatizing. We thought someone threw something at us or something had fallen on the vehicle. If the sun shade wasn't closed, glass would have entered the vehicle and could have caused injury to us or our children in the back seats.
MY CAR A/C HAS A LEAK AT THE CONDENSER, THIS IS A DEFECT KNOWN BY GMC, THEY ONLY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY UP TO 60,000 MILES AND 72,000 ON CADILLAC, MY YUKON ACTUALLY HAS 71,500. THE REPAIR FOR THE GMC DEFECTIVE VEHICLE A/C IS EXTREMELY COSTLY TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PARTS AND OVERPRICED LABOR.
WHILE DRIVING, MY A/C CLIMATE CONTROL HAS FAILED IN 2017 GMC YUKON (MILAGE 78,734). THIS HAS CAUSED A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND I COULDN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH FROM THIS INCIDENT DRIVING ON I270 HERE IN MD.

WHILE DRIVING, MY A/C CLIMATE CONTROL HAS FAILED IN 2017 GMC YUKON (MILAGE 78,734). THIS HAS CAUSED A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND I COULDN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH FROM THIS INCIDENT DRIVING ON I270 HERE IN MD. I AM BOTH SHOCKED AND APPALLED THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED AND THAT GM USED LEAKY AIR CONDITIONERS THAT BUCKLE UNDER PRESSURE IN MANY 2014-2017 TRUCKS AND SUVS. WHETHER IT'S BUSTED HOSES OR LEAKY CONDENSORS, THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS LIKE ME ARE UPSET THAT A NATIONWIDE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT'S SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT THERE'S A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. MANY OF THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE DISCONTINUED TO TO THE DEFECT. SEE TSB PIE0340. ALONG WITH THE ALLEGED PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPRESSOR TO CONDENSER LINES, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SAYS THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSERS ARE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THE MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE CONDENSERS ARE DEFECTIVE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP TO FIND OUT MY CONDENSER NEEDS REPLACING AND THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CONDENSER ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE . HE ALSO AGREED WITH ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $160 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM FIRST NOTED IN BULLETIN # PIE0340 DATE: JUL 2015. THEN THEY ESTIMATE REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE PARTS TO BE $2000!! I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE # 9-6360482931 I ASKED WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE AND THEY DECLINED TO ANSWER. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE HAD I HAVE KNOWN OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU HAVE GM ISSUE A RECALL.

Oct 24, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.
