SUVs GMC Yukon GMC Yukon and Yukon Denali Problems

You are in the GMC Yukon Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
I have an 05 Denali XL. When I am moving I cannot enter an address. Is there any override for this problem? The address feature locks you out while the vehicle is moving and if for example I want to find a convenience store I need to pull over to enter a search. GM told me this was a safety feature. Every other nav system I have had didn't lock me out while driving. What a pain.

Since we bought the car in January it has been in the service dept. four times. It idles very low to the point it seems like it almost wants to die. Also, it seems to lose power when driving because it is trying to decide which gear it want to stay in. Now my dash board lights will turn off and on again periodically, they flach once. Anyone else having similar issues? The service dept. cannot find anything wrong because there is "no warning light" on. Give me a break. All this software has the mechanics with their hands tied. It is driving me crazy! I jsut want to drive a new car and have it run like a new car!

Replying to: hbatten (Mar 08, 2007 3:44 pm) They called me 2 days later to tell me that the piston actually broke inside the engine. I called GM to request a Lemon buy-back and they've refused. Instead they ordered a new engine to be placed into my car. I've cleaned out my car and have refused to pick it up. Been to an attorney and now were sueing GM as well as the dealership. The car has been in the shop for 18 days now and who knows how much longer before they try to get me to come in and pick it up. That won't happen until we see what happens in court. My engine in the Denali is now being shipped back to the factory so that the engineers can look at it and see if there is a design flaw. I'll never buy a GM again. |

Ditto on the above issues. 2 weeks after I purchased my '07 Denali the transmission failed, leaving me stranded. Dealer said they did not know what was wrong even after consulting GM tech support. They reflashed the transmission, changed some sensors, and it that seemed to fix THAT problem. Yesterday (only 2 weeks after the above mentioned problem) while driving home in a huge snowstorm, all the dashboard lights began to flash. I lost electrical power to almost everything (windows, turn signals, 4 ways, all gauges, lights). Error messages flashed on the imformation pannel saying "check tire pressure", "check stabilitrak", "check suspension", "etc". Luckily I was close to home. After pulling in the garage and turning the key off, the few electrical features that were on would not shut off. I had to physicall y remove the (+) lead from the battery. Oh, BTW, the vehicle will now not even start. It's a shame that after spending $55k on a new American SUV, this is what I am faced with. I WILL NEVER BUY A GMC/CHEVROLET VEHICLE AGAIN. And I will make it a point to communicate my dislike for this company to each and every person I can. In addition, I have contacted my law firm to begin a civil action against GM. I can't wait to drive my new 2008 Toyota Sequoia. Good luck everyone. |

Replying to: bnr (Mar 17, 2007 5:07 am) #$% problem still exists. According the my EX-Toyota dealer, its a complex problem to repair and can take a few trys... (what kind of a lame excuse was that... !!). Although, the TLC has been a superb 4x4, its been comfortable but "dull" to drive. I guess what I am trying to share with you is that, just because its a Toyota, don't think its all that perfect and reliable, there is always a bad apple in a bunch. If "fun to drive" is one of your desires in a SUV, Sequoia is not the only choice out there. I had my share of Japanese SUVs & cars in my family, they are good and with high marks on overall reliability, but Toyota don't know what it means to be "fun to drive"... Best wish!
