I am happy with my purchase of the 2021 Denali.

2021 4WD DENALI PREMIUM. Air suspension option is not available at the moment. The Denali has finally made the leap to the luxury segment. Interior in prior models was lacking for the price point. That and the previously cramped back row are what kept me on the sidelines. This new vehicle is well appointed. My other car is a luxury Sedan. So I’m slightly choosy on amenities, safety features, etc. The new Denali checks all of the boxes. The new dashboard shifter works. Not my favorite location though. Kudos GM!

Recalls, won’t start, gets fixed, just dies in the parking lot, gets towed, breaks down again. TVs work half the time. Lift gate opens randomly. GM really has some work to do for the 2022 model, 2021 model is terrible. Hopefully I get it back here shortly, wife and I have bets going on how long untl it needs towed once we get it back! It made it one week the last time!

2021 Yukon Denali

Just don’t buy it, it will break down with faulty lifters. I know it looks nice but avoid at all costs. Don’t make the same mistake I did and ignore these reviews. Car broke down on a busy interstate in the middle of nowhere with kids in the back. Sat in the car waiting for a tow. Because of Covid, we couldn’t ride in the tow truck back to the dealer (they were closed anyways). An hour later we finally found a cab to pick us up and give us a $200 ride home. It’s been almost 4 weeks without a car and GM has been terrible to work with to get a loaner or rental. I will not buy another GM car again and you shouldn’t either. 5,000 miles on an $85,000 car. What a joke.

Engine Issue with Less than 8k Miles! 🤔

Bought new March 2021. 6 mothnths and less than 8k miles in, engine failure! I loved my truck before then. Beyond disappointed. Dealership said it was the lifters in the motor. Motor literally sounds blown! TV's completely shut off when you forget to disable the autostart. That engine failure though... Scared of the future with it. 😭

BEST YET

I've had Yukons or Suburbans for the last 30 years. Think this is the 6th or 7th.Purchased this one August 2020. This is by far the best. Best style, interior, finish, technology, safety and fun to drive. Just took it in for first oil change. They performed two recall issues that I was not aware of as they had not malfunctioned, but I was told they would perform the mods anyway.
