I have had my 2007 Yukon Denali since September last year...Love it. Yesterday I got in my Yukon at the car wash and I noticed a loud popping sound. At first I thought it was my retractable running boards making the sound when I closed my door as they were retracting. Upon closer inpection I realized it was my driver door panel catching the front fender panel and it had chipped the paint all the way to the metal. The people at the car wash pointed out to me before they ran my truck through that my rear light assembly on the drivers side was about to fall off. Apparently the tabs that hold it in had broken off or something. I called a local GMC service dept and they told me that the door becoming misaligned happens from time to time and that could I bring it on Monday so this would give them a week to realign it and touch up the paint. I was told that GM would not pay for a loaner car for me over the weekend if I would have dropped it off and they didn't get it back out to me. ?? Has anyone else had either of these problems?

I just bought my husband a 2007 Denali as a birthday present. I also purchased the extra warranty as there are more bells and whistles on it than I ever imagined and if the navigation system or anything else electical goes - the warranty will pay for itself in the first use. Your issue sounds like a defect and I would definitely NOT take the GMC service department story of it "happening from time to time" as a good excuse. To me that's BS. ..and I would be raising a stink all the way to GMC corporate office if necessary. I have never heard of such a thing happening. Also - the loaner vehicle should be something that they do. We carry the additional coverage through our insurance carrier State Farm - in case of something like this. You need to have a coming to Jesus meeting with the sales manager. When you pay $50k for a vehicle - you expect some better treatment. Good luck and let us know how you made out. |

June 30th marked a year I've had my 2007 Tahoe. I have just shy of 35,000 miles on it. With the exception of a flat rear tire (ran over a piece os steel in the road) I've had ZERO problems. While the car is not perfect, It's the best GM product I've owned in 37 years. I'd like to hear from others as to how there's are holding up. Steve in Saratoga Springs, NY

Replying to: rhame13 (Jul 12, 2007 9:39 pm) ___________________________________________________________ I find that hard to believe. Usually what misaligns a door is another vehicle's bumper....as in a collision. I can't see how your problem could happen unless a hinge or some part of the door frame broke. And your rear light assembly is held on to the body with screws....not tabs. Something strange happening here....and it ain't exactly clear!!!!

I'm one year with my LT2 in September. I can tell you I've had a few problems. Anyone notice these? Delayed locking from the RKE doesn't work as described in the manual, one of my passenger seatbelts stopped latching (its fixed), and just recently the driver side view mirror vibrates heavily when I'm driving on the freeway.. (can't see anything through it). My Chevy dealer said there isn't a fix for it and that GM knows about it, I'm going to check with another dealer. I found out that its GM's policy to only pay for a rental if the warranty work is on a safty issue (engine, seatbelts, breaks... stuff like that). Other defects you're without your car on your own dime. I've talked to GM customer care about it and that's what they said. For the most part the truck is great, just a few little things... y'know... Anyone else notice the problem with the Delayed lock or the vibrating side view mirror? |

Replying to: saratogalake (Jul 13, 2007 10:47 am) I'm actually on my 2nd LTZ as I had to Lemon Law my first one!!!  I purchased one of the 1st LTZ's made back in March of 2006 and the problems began the night I drove it off the lot...No really...I had problems with the truck less than a mile away from the dealership. I'll spare you the details, but I did finally get a replacement LTZ this past April. Now the good news...I've had absolutely NO problems with the new truck!!! We've got about 7000 miles on it and it's been perfect. Just got back from a 3000 mile family vacation up the East Coast and back to Florida. I guess I should have known better than to be one of the first to own the truck as I heard a LOT of bit**ing and moaning from several people here on this board back when I was having my problems over a year ago. Sounds like they worked out MOST all the problems that I and others had with the first production units!! Although I had my problems...I LOVE my LTZ and would highly recommend it to anybody in the market for a HOT SUV !!! |

Bought our tahoe last april/may and have jut passed the 7500 mileage mark  basically only use it for roadtrips and hauling stuff. only issue i've had have been the 2nd row door window moldings not fitting well and the lock on the fuel door(piece of plastic broke) - both of which were fixed in one day's time at the local dealer. just recently i reprogrammed the ECU and added a cold air intake which has increased the power a little bit but i've had to start filling up with premium which would be expensive if i drove the truck everyday
