Wouldn't get another GMC

This is the worst vehicle I've ever had. In 15 mos of ownership its gotten 2 new sunroof switches, a new sunroof, a new clock, new radio, new controls in console for rear seat passengers, and has been in for several electrical probs. The dealership has been very accommodating and certainly embarassed. I spoke with the area rep who made it out to be my fault and said these problems could occur in any make of vehicle. I've owned lots of different makes and have never had this many problems. I'm just waiting for the next thing to go wrong.

Bought GMC ext warranty because of the high mileage driven. We had a piece of side molding replaced, and the car had a terrible knocking sound when there were high winds. Took dealer several times to find the problem. The water pump failed ($100) at 67K. The auto-down switch failed ($100). Engine de-carb, and fuel inject cleaning at 65K ($300+) for an intermittent hesitation problem. Hinge on the rear window lift- glass failed. Extended warranty would not cover hinges - $793 to repair. Toyota dealer offered us 16K and Carmax offered 14.8K. Wound up taking the dealers offer. We won’t be buying GM products again.

Some problems with my Yukon

Overall, it has been an decent vehicle. Although, my transmission went out at 42,000 miles requiring a replacement. My biggest gripe is the emergency brake. We need it on boat ramps and it just doesn't work. It is a weird system with separate ebrake pads. I usually do this work myself. I guess I am going to have to break down and take it in.

Denali is a great vehicle

I have had my Denali now for 5 years and it is the most reliable and solid vehicle I have owned (except for my Tundra!). You can tour in the vehicle for hours and not tire out. Its ride is quiet and secure, and the seats are very supportive. Even for such a substantial vehicle its fuel mileage is reasonable, averaging about 17 MPG combined city/highway. All systems (brakes, engine, powertrain)work great together. It is a top notch "professional grade" vehicle--as advertised. Oh, and after 65,000 miles, it still has the original Michelin Crossterrain tires with no abnormal wear, and the amazing part is, I have only rotated them twice! I am very conscientious, it just hasn't needed it.

Once all the GM "glitches" were worked out in the first year (under warranty), this vehicle has been superb! The engine is fabulous and I get better mileage than with my smaller, Chevrolet Blazer.
