GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali Problems

Re: battery keeps dying [wallycin]

Written by: 426whit on Jan 02, 2009 06:18 PM

I had a similar problem with my 2004 yukon denali xl. It died 4 times in the first 6 months of owning it. It was in and out of the dealership with all kinds of repairs, reprogramming and replacements in addition to an examination by a special GMC engineer. Even he couldn't determine the cause of the problem. I finally wrote a letter to Rick Wagoner since I was getting ... Read More...

Re: Popping in steering column [ma2sk]

Written by: rsht on Apr 16, 2008 02:57 PM

I think the loud popping sound has to do with the Intermediate Shaft (or I-Shaft), it can be heard as well as felt (if I am not mistaken) in the steering wheel and/or the steering column area. Hope I am still on track to what you have experienced so far. If yes, you may verify and consider the possibility of replacing the Upper I-Shaft Assembly (Bulletin #00-02-35-003M), ... Read More...

2005 Yukon XL Rear Hatch Handle

Written by: bdhplayer on Mar 25, 2007 05:28 PM

Has anyone had a rear hatch handle fail on the Yukon XL? I own a 2005 Yukon XL that was purchased in February, 2005. In August, 2006 the rear hatch handle failed for the first time. Since the vehicle had 46000 miles on it, it was not covered under warranty. At the time I paid for it. Fast forward to March 2007 and the same part failed again. Eight months later. GMC says ...

Written by: juddster on Feb 01, 2007 08:06 PM

I need some new floormats for my '06 Yukon XL and have an opportunity to get some new ones from an '07 at a great price. However, can someone tell me if GMC has changed the interior so much that they are not interchangeable?? Thanks! Read More...

I bought my 2006 Yukon last September 2005. Within a month I brought it back to the dealer due to a creaking sound coming from the suspension. I experienced it when braking and weight was tranfered forward on the front suspension and also when turning or going over speed bumps (at very slow speed 2 to 3 mph). The dealer replaced some suspension bushings and the problem ... Read More...

2007 Chevrolet Suburban/GMC Yukon XL/Cadillac Escalade ESV

Written by: navigator89 on Nov 02, 2005 00:10 PM

GM is redesigning all it's full size pickups and SUVs to stay competitive. If you've seen the pictures of the 2007 Tahoe and Yukon, you know they've done a pretty good job on the outside and inside. The Suburban/Yukon XL/ESV are coming at a bad time for GM, as gas prices are high, and Ford is bringing back a large competitor based on the Expedition. All these new GM ... Read More...
