I have a 2001 Yukon Denali and it only happens after I have driven it for a while and it does it when I turn right or left. It almost sounds like the whole front of the car is coming off. Anyone have any ideas as to what it is and/or how to fix it? While I am here, the rear passenger window seems to roll all the way down on it's on, very randomly. When I have the child window locks on, it doesn't happen. And if it does roll down, I have to have the lock on in order to roll it back up from the driver control. Also, the driver heated seat warmer doesnt seem to work. Front passenger works fine and so do both rear seats |

that a Chevy dealer could solve the problem and not the GMC dealer. What made you take your Denali to a Chevy dealer?

I am experiencing numerous major problems with my new 07 Denali. There are system and component problems. To start, the instrument cluster is virtually unreadible in the daytime. It is set deeply shrouded, poorly designed with low contrast grey and dark white lettering surrounded with confusing chrome reflections. The needles actually vanish with their ultra low visibility dull brown/red. GM knows about this major botched instrument design but continues producing it. The build quality is sincerely poor. Don't believe the magazines. Yes, this new Denali is better....but better than what? Better than the substandard ancient previous generation truck. GM's current ads proclaim "We examined everything, we overlooked nothing." What a load of pure B.S. I guess they think that a 6 speed transmission should clunk, bang and lurch as it shifts. As it goes into first gear, the engine actually speeds up which is a scary thing when you're trying to stop!!! This is a major problem that GM knows about but they rushed a half baked design into production. I guess they think A/C should routinely stop blowing cold air and instead blow warm stale smelling air. I guess they forgot to examine the fact that GM is the only maker who FAILED to provide an entry A pillar grab handle thus forcing you to hold onto the steering wheel to pull yourself up to the AWD cab. Now my steering column has become loose and makes noticeable noises when steering. How about all the plastic pieces that actually just FALL OFF when you open the door to the truck. How about driver's door arm rest that constantly interferes with your left leg and knee bruising you over a ride. The console center hatch opens the wrong way and any time you put anything down on the center console, the morons at GM designed the two console compartments to open at a touch. So when you pick anything up off the console, the darn doors alwasy open! What a stupid nuisance and pain. The adjustable steering colum is tragic. GM gives so few detents that each setting is too far from an adjacent setting so finding a comfortable setting is hopeless. The sunvisors are too narrow and leave a 6" gap between the A pillar and the visor. IN the morning, the sun comes in blinding me as I head east and I can't adjust the useless visor in any way to block the intense glare. The windshield wiper washer is another GM botch job. When your windshield is dirty, you turn on the washer and the blades make two complete cycles BEFORE the washer activates. That is GM's way of insuring that you have a good scratched up ruined windshield by your truck's 6 month birthday. Next time you apply your emergency brake, don't hold your breath until you locate the brake release. It is just another GM joke played on the truck owner. If you have to exit the vehicle in an emergency and the car has locked the doors, don't get too frenzied trying to exit by using the door handles. They don't work!~!!!!!!!! Totally UNSAFE and DANGEROUS. If you can't get to the button to unlock the door or try to reach around 180 degrees to manually lift the difficult to reach lock button, you won't get out!!! In an emergency, it is crucial to be able to exit the vehicle. This truck prevents this totally. What are the IDIOTS at GM thinking???? Oh yes, GM 'examined everything and overlooked nothing.' Who are they kidding. This truck is a disappointing embarrasment for GM and GMC. GM service has been another horror story. I am working with a second dealer who hopefully has the skills and know how to fix this problem and defect plagued truck. |
