Understand that with an MSR$10 P of $75480, this is a high profit vehicle for GM. You can tell everytime I put in reverse when it hesitates to shift, clunking on initial acceleration, shifting while driving down the hwy at 70-75. Took in with 3000 miles with an air noise and a $10 piece of foam is the answer. Should have been installed at plant,

I bought the Denali brand new with only 11 miles on the odometer. By week 2 or 3 there was already some vibrations that would shake the truck from front to back. Many months later I find out the transmission has a known problem and requires 3 complete flushes of transmission fluid. With the 22" wheels, this truck has a rougher ride than a stage coach in the old west before paved roads. A year ago I purchased 18" wheels for taking trips with the family. My wife hates them, but does notice how much smoother the Denali rides. I own an '08 4Runner, '08 Avalon, and an '05 LS430. The $78,600 Denali rides worse than ANY of those other cars that all have more than 100,000 miles. The Denali has 64,000 miles. This is my 3rd GM full-size SUV and will be my last. I can't stress this enough -- RUN AWAY FROM THIS VEHICLE. It is honestly, the most over-priced piece of crap that GM has ever built and I kick myself everyday for buying it brand new. It's 100% paid for, and my wife has agreed to drive it, which is the only reason why I don't trade it for a '78 Ford Pinto which would seriously be an improvement in ride characteristics. I haven't mentioned the front A/C issues that GM released a bulletin for, or how the rear A/C went out in less than 60K miles, but wasn't covered under warranty. I give it 2 stars because the interior is decent quality and the electronics haven't been a problem (yet). Shame on GM for building such a pile of crap.
