How often has my GMC Yukon Denali been in the shop?
Until last week I was the unfortunate owner of a 2001 GMC Yukon Denali. This vehicle was so plagued by problems that it made 9 trips to the dealer for repairs within the first 15 months of ownership. It had been in the shop 6 times since the first of the year!
Are there any problems with the GMC Yukon?
In addition to the upper dash problems, the GMC Yukon has had many reported problems with the power door lock actuators. In these cases, the actuators become unbearably slow to work or even stop working entirely, leaving vehicle owners with no choice but to completely replace the part.
Is the GMC Yukon Denali XL a good car?
Thanks for your input. Just bought a 2003 Denali XL after trading in a 2002 Yukon. Since buying the car we have been hearing a cracking and popping noise from the car after shutting of the engine (and also while at idle). The service manager tells us this is “normal for these cars”.
What to do if your GMC Yukon has a crack in it?
There isn’t an easy fix for an upper dash crack, and most vehicle owners generally choose to replace the entire upper instrument trim panel rather than deal with an unsightly and ultimately, unsafe, dash crack. As noted by RepairPal, close to 500 GMC Yukon owners have reported this specific issue.

Why does my GMC Denali suddenly stop working?
I have a 2007 GMC Denali with the same symptoms. The power suddenly dies. This is a reoccurring issue for the past 3 years. I noticed the negative battery cable had bad contact so I took a steel brush and scuffed up the cable where it meets the ground connection. That seemed to fix the issues for 6 months, but it came back again.
