To many problems

2017 GMC Yukon Denali 4dr SUV 4WD (6.2L 8cyl 8A)
20 of 37 people found this review helpful

Raising the gas mileage up to 22 mpg has created major issues. The engine has yet to be refined, the 8 speed trans is also having issues. My son has a 2015 and the kids have broken 2 exterior door handles off, the engine has to be replaced, computer problems (Gremlins). Quality for the price is just not there. I own a 2003 Yukon since new and it has 275k no work has been done on the engine or trans, bottom line is that they are not built the way they used to be. For close to the same price as a Denali, we bought a Mercedes Benz GLS 450, tows what we need, better warranty, built like no other SUV, and much better resale value. Dealer customer service is also second to none. Drop it off once a year for oil change service and inspection, get a loaner with out even asking.

Was my Dream car!

2018 Yukon Denali XL. Buyer beware! For many many many years the Yukon Denali has been my dream car. Work hard and paid for a brand new Denali. Did not know the trouble I was heading into. Yes there is a tune you may install to fix the rough idling issue, if you are willing to give up your manufactures warranty. I have accumulated a total of 13,600 miles and this vehicle has left me dead on the road 3 times. Beginning to wonder if it’s why they provide on-star. My 2006 Nissan Titan with over 186,000 miles on it is more reliable. I paid for bells and whistles and got smoke up my bum. As mentioned in some reviews I found ride is smooth so long as you never stop.

Bad Decision

Bought a used 2017 Yukon Denali with 100,000 miles. It now has 108,000 miles. Owned for 6 months now and already replaced the shocks and electromagnetic strut system, $1300. Then the transmission itself, Rebuilt because they cannot get a new one in for months $5100, along with sensors before that trying to fix the problem $900. After that a $200 battery. To fix an issue of the whole engine going crazy. Now I have to have new brake pads and rotors. What the Hell GM. Thanks to the government for trying to squeeze more mileage out of a beast of an engine and to leasing a carbon footprint on the environment has been defeated. I wish I would’ve never bought this vehicle. As soon as I can trade it or sell it, it will be gone. 8 speed transmission. Bring back the 6 speed and quit being stupid. Bought in 4/1/21. Review done in 11/7/21

GMC Yukon XL Denali 2017

My family and I purchased the GMC Yukon XL Denali thinking it would be a good vehicle for the family. We could not have been more wrong. We have owned this vehicle for a little over 4 years now. We have had to replace both rear struts once. That cost us $2,000. We have had to replace the front struts twice. That is about $3,600 in front struts. GM refuses to help us and to fix the problem that is clearly due to their error. Did I mention my front struts are now locked up again and needing to be replaced for a third time? Do not buy a Yukon, run for the hills. It's unfortunate for my family that we had to learn the hard way. I grew up with a father that swore by GM products. But after seeing how they treat us as loyal customers for over 40 years we will never buy another vehicle from them again.
