2007 Yukon rolls backward while still in drive!

I just bought a 2007 Yukon and found that in my driveway or other simular incline my Yukon goes backwards while still in drive. GM says it is operating within specifications. They also told me nobody else has complained about this serious safety issue.
Now they tell me this is normal after the intitial 500 - 600 mile breakin. I was told this is normal...am I the only one with a Yukon that does not think this is acceptable?
I am very disappointed in GM and their Customer Service.

I am with tigmanphil. I have an 01 as well and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. When the new ones came out I was watching, but I will not be upgrading as it sounds like a downgrade to me.

I wouldn't call a your truck a lemon because it rolls back on a hill in drive. I have a 2001 and have noticed that it does the same thing. I thought it was strange, but a lemon, I think not!

I have a 2006 Yukon XL Denali and the headlights are exactly the same. These "shadows" are within the design of the photometrics. While annoying there isn't much you can do about it except get used to it. After owning two new Chevy Suburban's the Denali is without a doubt the finest motor vehicle I have ever owned in my 45 years of driving. I have 15k miles on it and have not had one issue. The ride, power, sound system and numerous features make it an absolute pleasure to drive. Don't focus on the annoying headlight pattern, but enjoy all the other luxurious features.

Well Dah..... I think the BREAK ?? is what holds most vehicles on a hill or slight incline - try using it.....! Perhaps you should read about how an automatic transmission works. It does slip otherwise it'd be trying to drive you forward at every light or situaion when you applied the break. This would be very hard on the drive line if it were the case. Does this make any sense to you?
Come on - you need to think it through before you spout off about having a lemon - it's really more of lemon thinking here then it is the vehicle. Get the facts first.

I also have the 2006 Denali and I plus all my friends think the world of the car. It's popular in our circle of friends for the air ride and spacious seating, wife loves heated seating, my towing the 27 ft trailer is safer now. The transmission is someting you get to know. Tap it just before going up a hill and it will downshift to get the trailer up the hill at 2800rpm, but if you wait too late into the hill, it will drag the trailer up at 2000rpm only, not good. Learn to work with the tranny.

I just bought a 2002 GMC Yukon. The heating in rear works great but, up front it blows cold air when heat is turned all the way up.

My Yukon automatically shifts to and from 2 wheel drive/ 4 wheel drive/ 4 wheel drive low and neutral by itself. Does anyone have any advice or ideas. I am planning on a long trip and need some type of ideas, as dealer says they have no ideas.

I cannot believe the messages I am reading. I had my 2007 Denali XL for one day and took it back and said, give me my 2005 back and I will buy a car from you.(They wouldn't do that) I have had 5 GMCs that I have loved and I knew that this one was WAY off immediately. I have a horse trailer. The new Denali has the hitch SEVEN inches higher than the old ones. I have spent 900+ to have two hitches made and my trailer remade to haul with this one. The lift leveler has only worked 3 times.(the manager and salesman jumped up and down on the hitch to make it work and then said "see it works!) The brakes squeek, the transmission is erratic. My trailer sways all over the road, which it has never done before. And yes, the service dept. says that everything is ok. I am petrified that my horses will end up on the road.
