GMC Yukon Denali Reviews

This was not my first purchase for a GMC vehicle! My family loves the luxury and convenience of the 2007 GMC YUKON as well. Having two small children, and an SUV is a must! We have not had any major issues or stressful situations since our purchase in March of 2017! I love the room in the car the most! My girls are not cramped in the vehicle when we take long trips! We (Mom & Dad) also have plenty of space up front for the drive! We chose this model over others because the name GMC says dependable to our family! This make (AND model) has ALWAYS been reliable for our family’s needs! Our model came with a bench seat but I would improve the bucket seats, for the first row in the back seat. Also, I would prefer leather interior, as it's easier to keep clean with children than cloth material.

The 2016 GMC Yukon is a very reliable car. It's a great, easy purchase. It has plenty of room and lots of extras. But they ought to make the sunroof not leak. However, I have only had an issue with this one time after a tropical storm. This is the 2nd Yukon we have owned. The space and ease of traveling long distances with a large family was what made us decide to purchase another Yukon. And unless something changes we will continue to purchase Yukons. I was happy with the first one. But I really love this one. And have been extremely happy.

2017 GMC Yukon Denali's tail gate drops down on you, "operating as designed". Solution, open then put key fob at least 5 feet to the side. Nice. Window goes up, but does not stay, waiting for service. Info screen, cruise, etc stopped working. Stopped, shut down and came back on. Transmission shifts real hard. No fix. 2017 only with 8 speed. Dropped and went to 10 speed 2018. That is the fix.

I paid $75K for my 2015 Yukon XL Denali brand new hoping it would be the vehicle I kept for many years. As with the others, my transmission is very rough particularly in the morning or first drive. Hasn't improved with top gasoline and multiple trips to the dealership. Passenger side moulding and roof rack blew off by 40,000 miles. Not under warranty. Replaced radiator at 60,000 miles. Extended warranty by GM covered this. Now replacing front struts at 60,000 miles, not under warranty or covered by GM. Air conditioning isn't working at 62,000 miles. Waiting on estimate for condenser replacement. This is the last GM vehicle for me ever. I'm so disappointed I didn't get what I paid for.

My husband purchased a new 2009 Yukon XL for me because he was in the hospital being treated for cancer and he didn't like me driving at night in my 1996 Suburban. I suspect he knew he would be going to Heaven. I use Service Dogs and they are large German Shepherds. I train them and I travel with them so I need the space. When I had the Suburban the dealership we purchased it from, covered all of the defective electric door locks, there were 6, as they knew it was a problem. They also replaced the whole 4 WD system when it seized so, I assumed GM at least stood behind their products.

Very disappointed with $77,000 Yukon XL Denali - I ordered my truck from the dealer in Sept '14 and it arrived in early April 2015. When I picked up truck from dealer (brand new), wheels were out of balance. Immediately, the infotainment system had problems. It didn't work well with iPhones and it would be easily confused. It was slow like an old computer trying to run new software. It just couldn't seem to handle the commands. There would be a delay of several seconds between pressing a button on screen and the action taking place.

Recently purchased a 2015 Yukon Denali. I should have read reviews first. This truck has been nothing but problems since day 1!!! The transmission, the radio screen glitches constantly, it sounds like the rear end is going to fall out, and the rear seats sound like they are not bolted down!!! What makes me mad is that the dealer keeps telling me we can't duplicate the problem!!! I have video of the radio screen glitching!!! This is ridiculous!! GMC and the dealership both have their heads up their butts... I'm going to take it in one more time. If they tell me about "duplicating the problem" again I get my lawyer involved because this is ridiculous! I got ripped off also purchasing this truck. I'm an idiot paying $54000 for a used truck with 44,000 miles on it!!!

I got my 2007 Yukon in 2016 and my run like a champ, never gives me any spark plugs, get cleaner every time the mechanic changes them... Oh and the 5th wheel runs outta gas everytime you change the radio. Also, I think I locked my keys in my visor who the can say that about themselves. I sure can! So last but not least my OnStar is on pipe. It's only speaking in Dutch now.

Bought a new 2017 Denali Pick-up. Duramax. On the way home (35 miles) truck shook so bad I couldn't drive over 50mph. I always take the junk new tires off and install new Michelins so that's what I did. Still has a Chevy Shake but no one at the dealers seem to care, they blame it on the Michelins. At first when decelerating the engine would begin tapping, exactly like a rocker arm coming loose, took it to the dealer and as expected they said it was normal. Also the shifting rpms were too high, causing me to drive around town at 1800rpm, but they said that was normal and there was nothing they could do. A couple months later I took it to Richie Cadillac/GMC where I bought it, I explained the same as I did with the first dealer, still no cure. Now the engine is still tapping but at times when driving normally not just deceleration.

I own a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali and have taken this vehicle in several times for a transmission issue that the dealer cannot fix. I was told that we did a flash on the computer and within a 1k miles it comes right back with less than 40,000, miles on the odometer. This has been going on since owning the car. Transmission feels like it is going over a railroad track at very low speeds. GM needs to solve this with a proper fix. Possibly a new tune to the transmission or a replacement. Too many complaints and no action from GM!!! My only fix may be is to trade it in and purchase a new suv. Anything but a GM.

My brand new 2015 Denali was great for the first months then the fun was over. The right rear seat started rattling, brought it in and was never fixed. Next the ac was replaced, then radio screen started glitching (fixed that by reloading the software). Next the steering column was replaced, then the lift mechanism for the rear hatch was replaced. The GPS lost its signal, they fixed it; was told it was corrosion between the antenna and the vehicle body. Then the transmission, the fix was change the fluid 3 times and try it, broken again. Now it's not even 2 years old and the rear suspension is fully inflated and won't release, the vehicle rides like a 1 ton truck without a load and will not be covered because I'm over the 36k miles.

My 2014 Yukon dashboard cracked near passenger airbag with only 39,000 miles. When I contacted GMC dealership where I purchased it they would not repair. They told me to try my extended warranty Total Care which I purchased thru GMC. I contacted Total Care and they would not cover it. They told me to get with my GMC dealership. I then contacted a GMC Senior Advisor. She advised me they could not cover because I had a extended warranty. She also lied to me and told me they were not aware of anyone complaining of cracked dashboards on GMC vehicles. Well this is the second one I own.

So my story is long but will try keep it on point. We purchased a 2015 Yukon XL Denali. We started having transmission issues much like many of the other stories on here. After 18 separate visits to the dealer, complaints to GM, we just traded it in on a 2016 one instead. Kind of wrote it off to being a lemon and not having the time to be bothered arguing with GM over and over about it. So should of been all fine. Except after about 4000 miles, it started again. Transmission seemed to get stuck in one gear and didn't want to accelerate from a stop. Back to the dealer again and of course they can never replicate the problem. But far worse than this, the adaptive cruise started to either not see things, or see things that weren't there. For example the Yukon accelerated hard despite the fact there was a dump truck ahead of me. I had to slam on the brakes and it was really scary actually.

Ok after looking for a SUV for a year we decide to get a Yukon Denali... We finally found one that suited our needs at a dealership 40 mins away from where we live, and bought a used low mileage Denali Yukon... Bought it late one night. Drove fine in test drive and everything seemed ok. There was a minor scape and we brought it up at time of sale to ask for it to be fix or take the price down... Our request was completely ignored and we were give some made up excuse about it still being a new car, strike 1. We get home and realize the next day there's a chip in the windshield, strike 2. In the heat of a June summer in so cal we quickly learn the AC DOES NOT WORK strike 3. We then learn the back rear window makes a loud whining noise that's pretty obvious something is wrong.

2015 Yukon Denali - Had to have the transmission replaced within the first 10k miles. Front and rear shocks and struts replaced at 40k. Have paneling coming off on the outside of car on the door. The steering wheel has been making clicking popping noises which the service workers said "they could not duplicate". At 40k plus now there is no way not to duplicate it happens all the time. Loud and obnoxious. Car rides rough with a lot of noise. Will not own another GMC vehicle.

If I could start with zero stars I would. My journey begins back in August of 2016 when I purchased a 2016 GMC Yukon Denali fully Loaded!! From Motor City Buick GMC of Bakersfield CA. My Purchase price 89,658.17 with 34 miles on the vehicle. A very short time after bringing the car home we begin to notice that when coming to a rolling stop the truck would start to jerking... Then when at a complete stop it would hesitate to drive. Going over speed bumps it sounds as if the shocks are worn out. So by this time we have about 5k miles on this vehicle. I call in to my local dealership. They check it out and said they can't duplicate the problem... so I bring it back home. The vehicle is still doing it! My rear tv shorts out. My kids were not happy!! I take it back in. They replaced it along with the few recalls it had. I pick it up and a short time later the rear AC gives out so now we are in triple digits and no AC. My kids are cooking in the 3rd row!!

This car handles well in town and is exceptional on the highway. It fits my needs for passengers, cargo and hauling. It is lovely to look at inside and out. However, my 2015 Yukon Xl Denali is now in the shop for the second time in 2017. The air conditioner condenser has gone out and my car is one of 30,000 vehicles that need this same part right now. I have been waiting 4 weeks and do not have the use of my vehicle because I live in Yuma, Arizona where temperatures the last 3 weeks have been above 115. There is no replacement part in sight.

My GMC Yukon Denali has been in the shop four times for electrical problems! And none can tell me what the problem is! Now been in the shop for 2 months! Still no answers. My 2016 GMC Yukon is a lemon.

I have a 2007 Yukon XL with 44,000 miles. I inherited the vehicle when my Brother-in-law passed last year. He purchased it new and took exceptional care of it. Two days ago the check engine light came on along with two additional warnings (Service Traction Control & Service Stabilitrak). After having it towed to the dealer I'm told that there is a (Collapsed Lifter in Cylinder Seven). When asked how that happens with an engine with low miles and has been well maintained, the answer I received sounded very much like the engine failed because the truck wasn't driven enough. That doesn't make much sense when modern cars are being driven up to and over 200K miles. I believe this is due to a defect in materials or workmanship not from lack of driving. The dealer quotes $4K to rebuild the engine. GMC needs to take responsibility and correct this issue. This is the engine that automatically selects the number of cylinders to use during operation.

After some discussion, we have reached an agreement with GM. They have offered to replace the vehicle and we have agreed to pay an amount to upgrade the year. We are satisfied with this result. My advice to GM is to talk directly to the customer earlier in the process, as communicating through the dealer can be irritating. Not due to anything about the dealership, but simply because communicating via a third person is a pain. Customers are usually happier when they get to speak directly with the person making the decision. Because GM correctly resolved the issue I've updated the rating, which would have been a 5, but gets reduced to a 4 because of the effort it took to get this resolved.

I bought a 2016 Yukon Denali brand new off the lot from Diepholz in Paris Illinois. Out of all the dealerships closer to me this is where I found the best price on the exact vehicle I wanted. My job consists of me traveling depending on what project I am overseeing for Marathon Petroleum. My dad is a used car dealer and swears by GM vehicles. It's all I have ever drove starting with my first vehicle. I have owned 97 Pontiac Firebird, 07 Pontiac G6 GTP, 07 Cadillac CTS, 06 Pontiac Torrent. As you can see I have driven the very low end of vehicles except for the Cadillac CTS which I have nothing good to say about it either. At 110,000 miles the timing chain bridge completely broke and center carrier bearing went out requiring the whole driveshaft to be replaced which wasn't under warranty. Other than that I haven't had one single problem with any of my cheap used vehicles by GM.

I have recently bought a 2001 Yukon Denali AWD and it is just a complete mess, electrically! Everything is going hay wire and is randomly wacky! Dashboard cluster, windows, rear wiper, dvd player, door locks, a/c, mirrors, puddle lights just about every single electrical component is acting crazy. Electrical components that were already replaced with new ones are still working off and on randomly. I tried telling the mechanic it's a deeper rooted issue within the wiring/grounds etc but he doesn't seem to listen to me.

The 8 speed transmission shift poorly at low speed/power and at time shifting is very rough. Thankfully no failures... 6.2 engine gets great road mileage. Electronic compass has failed several times, antenna along with modules have been replaced at least three time, compass still does not work. No I have a call into GMC customer service and tech div. It appears they have no idea what's going on or they really do not want to back their products that are faulty. Waiting to hear back from GMC Tech Div!! I hear there are numerous owner complaints on the 8 speed transmission... Once I no longer have a boat to pull, I most likely will not buy another GM product.

Thank you to all who have posted comments in regards to the new GMC Yukons. We purchased a 2004 Denali and were wanting to replace it as it has 215000 plus miles. After reading the poor reviews, we will not be purchasing another GMC. After reading all the complaints, I did not see anyone mention Lemon Law. I live in the State of Washington which has such a law. For those of you who live in a different state, check with you attorney General to see if you have a similar law. I believe most of your issues and concerns would qualify under the lemon law. I am not an Attorney, just speaking from my knowledge of filing a claim under the lemon law. I hope this helps as I don't believe you should spend that kind of money for a LEMON.

To start with why can't I give 0 stars! In 2014 I bought a 53000 dollar truck from Carl Black in Roswell GA. After a few weeks I started noticing some strange electronic glitches in shifting, 4 wheel drive, transfer case, and steering loosening communication with ecm. This would be displayed by the truck on the diagnostic screen just for a second. You can only see it if you happen to look down right when the truck loses control of the steering. The first time I towed the truck in for this GM dealer reset the truck and all started working again except engine light was on. The guy said they were closing, had no rental trucks and to come back. So I did and they said the truck had no codes and basically said I was lying.

2016 GMC Yukon XL. Awful vehicle. Terribly unrefined driving dynamics. Loud buffeting sounds from inside the cabin. Poor poor quality. A transmission that is simply infuriating with inexplicable shifting that DESTROYS the drivability of the truck. Such a step backward from previous GMC vehicles. The wheels, tires, drivetrain, electronics all were either replaced or serviced repeatedly to address vibrations, noise, or failure. Dealer service is equally disappointing with little to no acknowledgment of the issues and complete unwillingness to address the problems in a meaningful way offering only band aid solutions. I'd always planned on buying GM including a Corvette once the kids are all off to school but this has soured me on GM and their dealers entirely. Never never never will I purchase a GM vehicle again.

I have experienced transmission "clunks" for years on my 2007 Yukon XL. I had it checked regularly & flushed once a year to baby along. At 118,000 miles the radiator went out exchanging fluids between the transmission & radiator. Our friend & mechanic advised not something he sees often in GMC's as it's more a problem with Toyota's. All the same, this long term problem with the transmission was a factor that played in to both systems failing. Keep a close eye on the radiator if you are experiencing transmission glitches. The transmission clunks will also over time wear out the motor mounts. I had to replace the motor mounts within the last year costing over $1k in repairs as many systems have to be undone to get to the mounts. This is my second GMC Yukon XL Denali. They look great and have nice, comfortable interiors but buyers beware. I had every intention of buying another but I am now shopping for an alternative.

Yes it's $80k car. So far the side trim of door pillars have just about flown off. DVD player rattles like a **. Rear power lift gate drops on your head after opening. Had that fixed 3x now. I love this car but jeez talk about 1st model year woes!

Typically don't get involved with reading or writing reviews, but feel the need to based on the current experience I'm having with my $70,000 2016 Yukon Denali. I've had issues with vibrations and shuddering from day one. I've been back to the dealership three times and it's been a waste of time. The problem occurs when the vehicle shifts between 4 and 8 cylinders. Last time at the dealership I insisted on driving another Denali on the lot and it had the same issue. The salesman and the service manager acknowledged the issue but I was told it was a "design flaw." I'm not sure how I didn't notice the issue during my test drive, but now I am stuck with it. Wish there was a way I could get back the 2010 Yukon that I traded in. Although the vehicle looks nice, it isn't nearly worth dealing with the driving performance.

Issue #1: Trim falling off vehicle - when replaced, I noticed that they use double sided sticky tape and plastic clips. I was told that the dealership has to use whatever GM sends them to fix the issue. This has been a continuous problem. We have replaced all of the trim on the vehicle and it is falling off again. I called GM and I was told that there wasn't a recall on this. However, our local dealership told me that it's a huge issue with the make and model that I own. Further, I was contacted by our dealership and they told me that now our vehicle is not under warranty so we will need to pay approximately $83.00 for each piece of trim to be fixed from here on out. I'll be purchasing some Gorilla Glue.

The car turns off, twice as I was slowing at a stop sign on my street. I know this is hard to recreate but nevertheless, it shouldn’t happen and the dealer don't know why. The low rev sputtering is getting worse, especially in slow speed traffic. On one occasion while pulling out to overtake, it took about 2-3 seconds to finally get power. This is embarrassing taking people out for lunch… in a $70K car. People cannot believe the technician & GM said nothing was wrong. At most speeds but certainly above 50 MPH, there is a 1-2 seconds of shudder/vibration that rolls through the cabin. This is getting worse, sometimes as often as every 15-30 seconds while driving. Feels like a loose wheel or something in the drive train. Slamming into gear is very annoying. Garage door opener only works when you are 5 feet from it facing towards it. Sometime I need to pull the car slightly into the garage to start it then reverse quickly out before the door hits me!!

My husband and I purchased a 2016 Yukon XL DENALI at the end of December. We experienced a few minor electrical Problems like the center console would go black but everything else was still working. Our truck reached 14065 miles and the whole center console went out again but this time nothing worked... no radio, XM, backup assistance, navigation, Bluetooth, and etc. I took it to the dealership Monday and they said I should have the truck back in a few days. I'm writing this review Saturday and still will not receive my truck until next week. The amplifier went completely out and it took them a while to get it ordered and to receive it. Now something behind the dashboard has to be replaced and I locked the glove department and I had to bring them the key. This review is similar to the other 2016. I did get a rental 2016 Yukon XL Denali.

There should be a class action suit filed against GMC for selling the faulty and fraudulent automobile called the 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali. From day 1 there have been issues: Car would shift into four wheel drive automatically, bumpy ride, car movement after placed from drive to park, engine acceleration between gear shifting. Engine rebuilt after breakdown on highway, fuel pump ticking after truck runs. Metal exhaust flap squeaks on 4 to 8 valve shifting and now all shocks and struts need to be replaced as the ride has gotten worst.

1400 miles and the center console infotainment system goes blank. Take it in to the dealership, it's a week later! An entire week later, 9 days after I dropped it off. They call and tell me they don't know when they'll get it fixed because the part to fix it has been indefinitely backordered. They have other vehicles just like it on the lot that are working, for now. You would think that GMC with already have this issue well and your hand for their Flagship SUV. Extremely disappointed.

I found out what happened there was nothing wrong with the vehicle sadly it was my floor mat that got stuck to the pedal.

My truck was purchased new and has approx. 32,000 miles on it. It is kept in a heated/air conditioned garage and maintenance is kept up to date. I had 2 door locks replaced under warranty and now the front passenger lock is broken. I can't reach it and I took it to the dealer who wanted $450.00 to replace it. I also have pictures of a burn on my back that happened one day when the heated seat would not shut off and I could not get to a safe place to get out of the car. GM wants me to pay half of the cost of the heated seat. It doesn't seem to matter to them that it took over 4 months for the burn to heal because it was on my back. Now I am reading about your transmission problems and I was at the grocery store one day and I put my truck into reverse. Having the backup camera has created the habit that even though I use my mirrors and check blind spots, I wait for that camera to click on. I let my foot off of the brake a bit and the truck went forward.

I am having a bad experience with my new 2015 Yukon as I only had it for a couple of months and I am having so many issues. The brakes have gone out now, sound very terrible. Never have I had a issue with any other new cars purchased in the past. Also the battery goes low for some reason. Have taken pictures and emailed the dealers and say it's normal or when they had it no issue found. When driving the car all of a sudden brakes hard like someone hit you from behind but no one is there. I think it's something with the transmission. My truck only has 19,000 miles. The dealer is so unhelpful. Once again never had an issue with any other dealers as I have purchased 2 Cadillacs from Crestview in Covina - great service. I am having second thoughts on this purchase. I feel like this car is a lemon. =(

I bought my 2015 Yukon Denali brand new, custom ordered everything I wanted & nothing I didn't. I have had to take my car in several times for recalls. It's actually at the dealership now & has been for 3 weeks. I was just told that the transmission needs to be replaced. I am at 18k miles!! I have complained about my car jerking forward & a sort of grinding sound when changing gears to reverse. I almost hit a mother and child at my son's school due to this. I could have killed someone!! This is even after the first set of transmissions when the 2015's came out got switched to 8 speed! Cannot believe I paid nearly 70k for this & the lack of concern when you take it to a dealership - ESPECIALLY when you say you almost HIT someone with your car when changing gears - is RIDICULOUS.

I had 2015 High Country and I only had 2500 miles and my truck start making clunking noise. I went to Chevrolet dealer, they did not even check it, just ask me couple question and told me it is normal. I took that and trade in for brand new 2015 GMC Denali. After I had only 400 miles it start doing the same thing like High Country clunking noise from the rear end and I thought maybe these truck drive like this but after 1700 hundred miles I noticed clunking noise from the rear end coming every time I stop on the red light.

I have read several reviews about those of you with issues. We are having the exact same issues with ours. They replaced the transmission and we are looking to have vehicle replacement and the dealership is playing games. I see all these complaints and think there is strength in numbers. Reach out to me at **. My vehicle is not a year old.

2015 GMC Yukon Denali. Car looks great both inside and out. My major issue is the transmission. It jerks between the speeds of 25-35. It's extremely uncomfortable for the driver and somewhat for the passengers. If the car is parked downhill and you put it in reverse the car will roll a number of feet forward as if it's in neutral before reverse engages. There have been times when I nearly hit the car in front of me. The transmission makes the car so uncomfortable that I wish I had never bought it. Don't make the same mistake I did. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CAR. It's too bad because it looks great and the size is perfect for my family. I'm now trying to figure out what to buy next - not a GMC. That's for sure. A expensive lesson.

I have a 2015 Yukon Denali 3000 miles on it and also having problems with the shifting at take off. It like bogs down and jerks trying to get into gears. Don't try pulling out fast in front of anyone because it has no pick up from the constant gear shifting. At $75000 I hate it. I had a 2001 Yukon for 14 years with no problems and I wish I would of just kept it. We have a trailer and wanted a new car just in case my old was getting too old for pulling but this new Yukon is horrible at pulling a camper also. WE almost crashed from the swaying. Had to stay at 45 mph the whole trip because of such bad swaying. NOT impressed with such an expensive truck.

We purchased a 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali from a Kellogg, ID dealership in February 2015. Since we first received it, the truck has idled very rough. I called the local dealership in Folsom, CA and they said it was due to the large size engine and that was normal. A couple of months passed (still continued to idle rough enough to visibly see your hand shake) and the truck started to stall in parking lots. We were actually on vacation and the local dealership in Coeur d'Alene, ID had it stall on them as well. They had the truck in the shop for three days and couldn't figure out the issue. GMC was going to send a factory technician out, but we had to leave. We actually changed our vacation schedule due to our concern the truck would stall out in the middle of nowhere.

I have a 2015 Denali with 4k miles on it. It has a new 8-speed transmission for this model year. It is horrible! It jerks hard from 1st to second from a stop, shudders and vibrates between 1500-2000 rpm. Had it back to the dealer and they told me that there were service bulletins for the trans and transfer case software update. They performed the updates and the truck was better for awhile. Now it's back to square one. Same demons again. The drivability sucks on this truck. The suspension is hard and uncomfortable. Maybe it is the stock 22" wheels? What a waste of 70+ thousand. I understand this 8-speed transmission is new to this vehicle. I'm lucky I'm leasing because I am dumping it at lease end.

I bought 2015 4wd Denali and I'm having problems also. Mine downshifts very hard when you are at a rolling stop. It jerks the vehicle forward. Secondly on the driver's door between passenger door the piece on it is flopping in the wind. Thirdly when around 1300 rpm's vehicle vibrates (I'm not sure if this is this new 4 cylinder feature) but it doesn't sound good and has me worried something is wrong with transmission. Paid $72,000 for this hunk of junk.

Cruise control not working 81k. Door handles falling off, trim pieces on sides of doors coming off. 60 thousand dollars and it is falling apart. Was thinking on getting 2015. Not going to after reading reviews. Many people has had cruise control issues on this year car. However no recall so far, and very expensive to fix. Door handles for labor and part 400.00ish for each door. I used JB weld cost 2.99. Chrome paint came off inside door handle. It is so sharp. It will cut you like a knife. 150.00 to re glue trim piece on doors. This car kept in garage and well cared for. It is just a pile of junk. Oh yes and there is the paint falling off front bumper. Don't think it had a clear coat. Chrome, Ha! What chrome, just painted plastic. It chips off, what a joke. Keys have never worked very good, hard to lock and unlock. They want 400.00 + to remake keys. Save your money. Don't buy GMC Denali.

I bought a new 2007 GMC Denali for about $60,000 after interest. This has been a nightmare. First we had a transmission issue and they said it was "normal". Then we had a dash cracking issue but they said it would be over $2000 to fix. Then we have the clear coat bubbling up and turning white, and now the front seats will not adjust. I took it in and they said they will look at it but they might need it for the day with no loan car. During the paint and dash issue the GMC Dublin service guy gave me the name and number of their GMC rep. I called him a number of times with no RETURN call. If anybody asks me if it would be a good idea to buy a GMC vehicle, I WILL SAY NO BLANKING WAY?

I have a 2003 Yukon Denali that I have put 302,000 miles on. I have never had any mechanical problems at all with this vehicle. Only time I have needed to have my car worked on was for a dry rotted oil line. Would buy another one tomorrow. Only complaint is that the 323rd row seating is only comfortable for children under age 8 then your legs are too long to fit.

My Maiden voyage with my 2015 GMC Denali resulted in navigation not knowing freeway systems in 4 different cities. This is ridiculous.

I'm a lover of new cars. It's my vice. Just bought the Yukon on Mother's Day. Paid 67k for the Yukon fully loaded. The good: So much quieter than any of my previous vehicles (Lexus, Lexus, Toyota, Toyota, Toyota, Volvo). Smoother ride than the others also. Interior is amazing. My computer system seems to work great besides a seat issue. Will explain below. Fits three car seats and my older son and a friend. One of the only vehicles I could find with all the tethers in them. My 2013 Sienna didn't even have enough tethers for my kids. Without taking up two seats and not allowing us to carpool our son's friend with us. Saving me 50% driving.

We bought a 2015 Yukon Denali 8 speed trans. 4 wheel drive. We purchased specifically to Dinghy tow behind our motor-home, April 2015. 1st time Dinghy Towing went into neutral with difficulty. Towed it home would not come out of neutral. Towed to dealer. Dealer performed the 3 recalls GMC had on record. Put it in and out of neutral 2 times at dealer. Went home, hooked up and towed 1100 miles, unhooked, put in 2WH. Went to leave and would not go back into neutral. Wife followed me to next RV park. Took to local GMC dealer. He reset something. Hooked up and towed to next park. Yukon went out of neutral with much difficulty. Have no idea what tomorrow will bring. Please do not purchase a 2015 GMC for dinghy towing until these problems are worked out completely. Lord only knows when?

I have been a loyal GMC customer for years. I bought a new 2015 Yukon Denali XL in December and have had nothing but problems. 1) The scariest one for me and my passengers and pedestrians is that when I slow down the vehicle downshifts so hard that it actually propels my SUV forward. It feels like I've been rear ended. My concern is that it will propel me into the back of someone's vehicle or hit someone. It's unpredictable. The dealership can't seem to fix it and I feel it is unsafe for me to drive. 2) Smell of vinegar coming from AC/Heat. The dealership did some fancy work on it and still smells.

I bought a 53,000 $ Denali 4x4 truck 2014. After 3000 miles transmission randomly would get stuck in 5 gear. After you come to a stop only knowing when you pull out in traffic and the truck will inch you out in front of oncoming cars. GMC dealer tried 7 times to fix and has not to this day. Second steering went out while driving and came right back on causing me to fishtail into oncoming traffic. They had the truck 30 days and still can't find the problem!! I haven't driven the truck in 6 months. DON'T TRUST THESE TRUCKS! Your family could die.

I recently purchased a 2015 GMC Yukon SLT. Great vehicle. Great ride vs my old 2009. My only issue is the 3rd row seats while they fold flat they remain at a slight incline. The cargo we carry is tipping over & rolling down toward the tailgate. What's up with this GMC?

2012 Denali with 70k miles. Just put first set of tires on it. Tow the boat regularly. It's been flawless. I don't understand all of the issues people are having with these vehicles. They seem to be built extremely well. Still drives like the day I got it at 70k.

I have not brought it in but have read about the same issue with a lot of the same kind of GMC trucks. I own a 1996 GMC Suburban that I can't drive because the ABS kicks in at any speed and won't stop the truck.

We bought a 2015 Yukon Denali 8 speed trans. 4wheel drive. We planned to tow behind RV. We bought it Jan 16. Our nav system still does not work. We put the transfer case in neutral to tow it and then we tow it and we stop for the day. We cannot get it out of neutral. We are at Lake Havasu. We called OnStar - no help. We called GM - no help. So we will call GM to fix the vehicle and bring it to Oregon because we have appointments.

(3-17-2015) I was driving my 2005 GMC Denali XL, (with under 35000 miles). The brake light comes on, when I go to pull over, I realize my brake pedal bottoms out. I get it to a GMC dealer. They tell me my brake lines are faulty due to bad undercarriage corrosion, and inform me that it may take thousands of dollars just to correct the brake lines, and that other parts or systems may also fail. He says it's not worth repairing.

If you are considering the purchase of a 2015 Yukon XL Denali, read this before you write a check to the dealer. GM has a customer service department that will document your vehicle issues but don't expect them to do anything more than look for service bulletins and then tell you that the vehicle is working as designed. Of course, this statement will almost always be true! Don't expect GM to address any design issues or to enlighten you about fixes that are in progress. In August of 2014, I purchased a 2015 Yukon XL Denali. My wife and I drove the new Denali across the US to Seattle and back for a total of 8600 miles. This trip gave me an opportunity to assess the 2015 Yukon Denali under real world travel conditions. I am sharing this review with you so that if you do buy this vehicle, you will do so with your eyes wide open.

I have been in touch with GMC recall center regarding the cracks in my GMC Denali.. They are covering the service visit to check my complaint yet are acting as if it is not their problem despite several hundred people having the same problem. I am willing to start a class action suit if others will join in with me to stand up and make GMC back their product. My email is **. If everyone who has this problem will contact me... I will start the proceedings to get this addressed as a recall. Thanks to everyone who helps and spread the word on every forum you can to help make a difference if we all stand together.

I purchased a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali in 2012 with 86k miles on it. The factory warranty had expired, and I didn't see the need to purchased an independent warranty because l had purchased a used 2001 GMC Yukon Denali in 2004 and it was fairly dependable for several years until l sold it with 185k miles on it. Soon after the purchase of the 2007, l did notice two cracks in the dash but l figured since it was five years old, (wear & tear). I made it a point to take it to a GMC dealer for routine maintenance. The vehicle ran beautifully, until 97k miles, when the check engine & air bag lights came on a week apart. Since l had planned to get their dealer to perform the 100k service I would get them to check on the warning lights. That regular service was $600, but it was an additional $650 to replace the air bag sensor and the oxygen sensor.

No brakes 03 denali: My family was on an 2hr trip from home when half way we came to stop light and it did not stop at all. Brake pedal went all the way to floor and slam right into this 48 yr old woman sitting at the light. Lucky no one was hurt besides her rear bumper. Then i read gm knows this and has done nothing to fix it. There is something very wrong with this. Have accident report and bumper bill and now I can't feel safe putting my family back in this suv.

So you spend over 40k on an SUV, you expect the dash to not randomly crack, right? After all you did spend over 40k on this vehicle, you take great care of it, and you would think a company is the large GMC would take ownership and fix a problem that thousands of people have had the same exact vehicle, right? WRONG. Apparently thousands of GMC Yukon Denali owners have experienced the exact same poor craftsmanship and/or quality, or lack thereof. I attempted to reach out to GMC to see if they would cover their faulty product. Unfortunately, they offered no help, were very condescending, unhelpful and extremely rude. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH GMC IF YOU VALUE YOUR TIME SANITY AND BANK ACCOUNT.

This will be the 3rd door actuator that has gone bad in less than 2 years on my 2008 GMC Denali. First the drivers door went bad then it was the passenger rear door and now it is the rear hatch actuator. I have received lies about the price by calling 2 different parts departments. I called one in Gainesville and one in Louisiana and the one in Louisiana quoted me 300.00 less than the Gainesville area.

I have not too long ago bought a 2007 Denali and it ran fine for the first month. Then I started noticing when I pushed the brakes to stop, the vehicle started jerking before it came to a stop. Now I am hearing another sound which sounds like the tire is rubbing. I have checked and don't see anything. Is anyone else having this problem?

I have a 2004 GMC Denali. The frame of the vehicle and parts underneath has rusted. The rust has spread to the rims of the wheels and brake assembly, front and back. Brakes, calipers, brake lines and rotors have to be replaced twice a year due to the rust.

On Dec 4, 2014 my wife told me while she was at mailbox, her brake pedal suddenly went to the floor. She limped the Yukon up to the house and I looked to see what happened. I was shocked to see that the steel brake line running from the front of the vehicle to the rear was pouring out fluid when the pedal was depressed. Why would a top car/truck manufacturer use steel that can corrode and burst on any vehicles braking system? Stainless Steel lines could not have added that much of a cost to any vehicles main stopping system. One bad accident with a fatality could not be worth the savings! Bad move GMC. It's time for you to step up and fix these vehicles before someone dies on your hands.

September 2014 our 2005 Yukon's brakes went out completely and my husband fortunately came to a stop before hitting a tree. It was towed to Joyce Koons of Manassas 4 Oct 14. We received a phone call stating the brake lines had rusted out which had contaminated the fuel pump, all four rotors, backing plates and right and left ride level sensors. Cost for these repairs $3606. After researching we found this is a known issue with GMs brake lines rusting. I contacted GM corporate Customer Care and after 4 days when I called back I spoke to Paris who said she was not aware of any issues with the brakes. Long story short, GM states vehicle out of warranty (116K miles and 2005) and they said there was nothing they could do.

My 2007 GMAC Denali has Paint flaking, crackling and checking. When I went to "ASK" it directed me to the website that provided me this link. To my dismay, there was a picture submitted that look exactly like what my Denali paint is doing. His car is much worse than mine, but I am very concerned that the paint will continue to deteriorate like his has. I will need to send pictures of my car's issue in a separate email.

My 2014 Denali truck stalls periodically when driving down the road. It usually occurs when you are pulling on to a busy street and cars are coming. You do everything you can not to get hit. I have taken it in to get fixed and they just tell me they have reset the computer. They tell me they drove it and could not get it to do it, so they cannot fix it. It is scheduled to be evaluated again on Oct 13. Hopefully they can get it fixed before I get hit.

2007 GMC Denali Yukon XL, paint is peeling and flaking off. This occurring on the top and sides of vehicle. Door handles came loose several times, were replaced, now it has happened again. Rear window defogger cable detached from rear window. Was told entire rear window needed to be replaced.

I own a 2010 Yukon XL which was purchased new in 2011. My warranty ran out in July. I have always taken pride in my vehicle. It's garage kept and a sun visor shield is placed on my dash when I am at work. Two weeks ago, I noticed my dash was vibrating. When I looked, I found where the dash cracked in three different places. At first I took it to a local repair shop. The owner advised me this was a defect and had seen many. After I thought about this, I called a friend who use to be an engineer with the company. He also advised me that this was a problem that even he had experienced. I called GM to find out what could be done. The answer, due to my warranty being out, they would only pay $200.00 of the $800.00 repair bill. This is unreal! I paid nearly $60,000 for a vehicle and in less than three years, the dash cracks! Needless to say, I am extremely upset about this. If this is the way GM treats their customers, I may have to drive a different make soon.

I was driving down a highway at 65 mph when I began to smell smoke. At first I thought that it was just oil spilled on exhaust system. Then the smoke got worse and had a terrible odor. I looked down at the center console and smoke was coming out from around the edges and the ash tray area. I started looking for a pull off as I was on a country road. As I found one, fire started coming up through the gaps. My first thought was that I had a fire that was going to destroy the vehicle. So, once I was stopped I looked for my fire extinguisher but couldn't find it and then I remembered that I had bottled water in the vehicle. I grabbed 4 of them and went back to the driver’s side and began to pour water down through the opening in the console that had been caused by the fire melting it. The fire was put out quickly.

While driving, my brakes failed and my brake pedal traveled to the floor, not stopping my vehicle (2003 GMC Yukon XL SUV). My vehicle was towed to the nearest GM repair shop where they found a brake line had rusted out and burst. Repair cost was $800. Since then, I have found through research this fault is not uncommon and NHTSA is investigating. Their action number is: EA11001. I think a notice of warning of this potential premature failure should have been put out to GM dealers so they can notify customers alike.

I bought a GMC Yukon Denali in 2009. Problem after problem was fixed under warranty. I have 25 pages or more of work performed basic upkeep to ensure long lasting truck. Now, I have the same problems and major 1 SW oil pressure stabil-trac, engine light. Truck has been shaking since I bought it. The light in the truck tells me to shut off engine immediately. I have all paperwork and I contacted GM. They told me to bring it to any GM service department.

I bought a 2005 Yukon Denali and the truck ran fine for a test drive. We were strongly encouraged to buy the aftermarket warranty in case something went wrong - you know, with used vehicles these days. I got to the gas station after buying the vehicle and it was smoking, the brakes locked up, and that was only the beginning. Next thing you know, the bumper fell off (rusted clean through). The next week, the A/C compressor froze up and that needed to be replaced, along with an O2 sensor, belts, windshield cracks, A/C unit, and transmission - it was only week 3! My God, I am afraid to go into week 4!

Hesitation and rough gear changing - At about 60,000 miles, my GMC Yukon Denali began to hesitate when changing gears. It is particularly noticeable when driving about a mile on the freeway after having driven at slower speeds in the city. I have taken it to the dealer about 5 times for this problem and have taken it to other service shops and they can't repair it.

2007 Yukon reduction of power code - I have been having issues since I bought my vehicle and there are a lot of complaints about this product. GM should inhibit a recall and fix this issue.

2004 GMC Yukon Denali spontaneously caught on fire at least 2 hours after my husband arrived home from work for the evening. Fortunately, we noticed when the car ignited, and called the fire department right away. They put the fire out, so the only damage was to the vehicle and not to the house. The car was parked in the driveway a couple of feet from the garage door.

I have a 2001 Yukon and started having problems with the brake system. I read about recalls on brake systems, but not in Texas. Why is GMC not recalling and paying for same problems on the same vehicles but in different states? These problems are very dangerous and costly; and GMC should have to repair them before lots of people get killed.

I own a 2005 Yukon Denali, which I bought new. The head lights have melted the front lens on both sides of my truck. I contacted GMC customer service to see if they had a recall for such problem and was told that I am the first to report this problem. They had me take the truck to a GMC dealer to verify that the condition exists and that I did not change anything that might cause such a problem.
