Lots of problems

This is my parent’s car , but I and my husband get to do whatever something breaks. First we didn’t do research before we bought this car, it had 101K miles and it was priced $15,999. After few months of driving one of the light went out which was not easy to find and replace. Now there is no air flow in the front AC/ heat vents. I read lots of similar problems about this car now. The value is certainly not worthy. I wanted to remove my name from the loan and so we tried refinancing but the bank won’t do it because we owe more than the value of the car. Total bummer, I hope GMC would do something about this issue or else counting on loosing business.

GMC $129 month!

$129 a month lease with no money down since I used my GMC points on credit card...bumped up to $3000 plus other incentives such as conquest cash, and change of styling for 2013. So, I've been driving a the AWD SL model the cheapest model made, but it has the same drivetrain as the Denali $40K+ model. 30 months later not one problem, no squeaks or rattles, great in snow as RWD BMW's couldn't get out of their way. MPG average 17 mix on regular gas. Rides smooth and feels heavy, absorbs potholes. Dislikes: Plastic body works too much. The brakes starting to show wear at 24K feel vibrations. Seats not too comfortable lack support. Steering not precise. $129 can't complain.

Make sure you have built in navigation. Denali model gives a better ride if you can afford the up grade.
