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!

Has anyone had a rear hatch handle fail on the Yukon XL? I own a 2005 Yukon XL that was purchased in February, 2005. In August, 2006 the rear hatch handle failed for the first time. Since the vehicle had 46000 miles on it, it was not covered under warranty. At the time I paid for it. Fast forward to March 2007 and the same part failed again. Eight months later. GMC says that the replacement is not under warranty because the vehicle had 20000 miles since the last replacement. To have the same item fail twice in 25 months is unreasonable. For GMC not to pay for the replacement is unconsciouable. The handle in not subject to wear and tear based upon mileage. Certainly the item should not fail twice in 25 months. After the response by GMC's customer service, I'm done purchasing GM products. No more Corvettes, I've owned 4 of them. In addition, I've purchased 2 Camaro's, a Suburban, a Buick Ultra, a Blazer and a Beretta. Am I pissed off, certainly. |

I have had my red Denali for 3 weeks now. I have only 2000 miles on it and the paint is now chipping off. I have 8 areas on the vehicle...one on the hood (which I can understand), 3 on the driver quarter panel, 2 on the driver quarter panel and 2 on the rear driver quarter panel. There is also evidence of dirt UNDER the paint. I am assuming this will be chipping off too! We have went to the dealer and also contacted GM service dept. They suggest we go back to the dealer and let them break the factory paint and have a new paint job! The dealer noted to us that the dealership paint is not baked on like the factory and wouldn't suggest it. GM informed us that once the car leaves the factory it is no longer their problem!!!! I have had over 12 different GM vehicles and never had a paint problem. Has anyone else had paint issues with their Yukon? Thanks! wkav

Replying to: wkav (Apr 18, 2007 5:56 am) I had a peeling paint problem with my 1991 Chevy S10 that showed up several years after I bought it... GM admitted a problem with that paint color of that year and they paid for a complete repainting. However, because it wasn't safety, it wasn't an advertised recall. I had to go to the dealer and then call GM (the dealer first said "not covered", GM then tried for only a partial repaint, but finally a got a better dealer behind me who got authorization for a full repaint). I was pretty happy with this as that vehicle was already out-of-warranty.

Replying to: kimdvm1 (Apr 22, 2007 7:10 am) They eventually break through in a small star shape and start to rust. The dealer I took it to told me it looked like paint pop and called in the GM rep to review it. The rep denied any claim since the vehicle is out of warranty 84,000 km and I am left with the prospect of paying $2500 for a complete paint strip and redo. This will be my last GMC after over 20 years of GMC ownership. It is no wonder GMC is being overtaken by Toyota with their bad quality and poor customer warranty for a problem that is obviously caused by a poor factory paint system. |
