  Engine Problems - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By CMAC - August 26 - 3:29 pm

  One of the other reviews says that there is a misfire in the 5th cylinder. Mine misfires from the 6th cylinder and shakes like crazy when put under a load. There is a TSB from GM about the problem. It is a defect from the factory. What happens is the sleeve on the valve stems deforms from the heat and begins to bind. Instead of a recall, GM chooses to ignore the fact that these engines are defective. I called GM to see if they would repair the defect and they declined. Last one I will buy. Had to replace the transmission, fuel pump, radiator and the engine is screwed up. Plus the door handles are falling apart and most of the power door locks stopped working. Lemon

  Back to Ford - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By livinhi - November 12 - 12:35 pm

  I purchased this 9mo ago it had a few mile on it 150000 to be exact but thats how I purchase all my cars. This thing had so many problems with it I am shocked. I am usually a Ford person but love the looks of the Denali. Wow never again. The slip yoke problem on this thing is enouph to drive a person crazy. The mechanics cant seem to fix it or even find the problem, but they sure can hear it banging, it feels like the entire drive line is going to fall off. So Im done with GM back to Ford!!

  99 Yukon - 1999 GMC Yukon

  Bought my Yukon brand new. Love the looks & comfort. Dont like the gas mileage & repair costs. Brakes are poor, replaced head gasket, brake lines, brakes, fuel pump. Have 93K miles exterior is mint but told the underside is rusting out under me. Rear doors leak and hinges sqweak. This is my 3rd GMC truck and I thought I would never change. Now Im not so sure.

  Part of the family - 1999 GMC Yukon

  We bought the Denali when it first came out, and it has served well. It needed the typical GM repairs(Fuel pump, fuel injectors, manifold gasket, weak brakes)but when they are all fixed, she still runs well. Now its lifted 2.5", has Brembo brake calipers, disc brake rear conversion, full MSD ignition, and sport sway bars. It handles great, tows well, and starts perfectly. The V8 is so smooth. Cant believe it has 150,000k miles on it. Only beef is the low mpgs. At least it takes regular gas. This SUV has become my weekend toyhauler.

  Kept us safe in a bad accident, but... - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By wweezzyy - January 20 - 7:28 pm

  Horrible mileage-about 10MPG. Also so many repairs required on a 5-6-7 year old car! Brakes only lasted 20000 miles. Door handles and hinges needed replacing. Needed new brake master and vacum. However all is forgiven, because I had a very nasty accident and my passenger and I both walked away safely.

  Its been a good truck to own - 1999 GMC Yukon
  By RJ - June 28 - 12:05 pm

  I bought it a year old w/ 36k miles for $25k. I wish it had a 3rd row seat available back then. Its time to trade it in for a minivan or Freestyle wagon. Trade in is $8K so it cost me $3400 a year in deperciation. Mechanically truck has held up very well. The fuel pump went out at 100k. Cost $1000 (mainly because we were stranded out of town and could not shop around for repair). ABS doesnt work. There was a recall in Canada, but it doesnt apply to the US. It will cost about $800 to fix. Intake gasket leaked ,causing loss of heat/coolant - cost $800 to fix. Overall Im very happy witht he choice. The truck has become too unreliable for my wife and young kids, so its time for a new car. Id definitely get the 2005 or later Expedition if I got another SUV. Have drivien my dads and brothers on a few trips and they are outstanding
