| I have had problems with my 2005 denali shifting. i go to stop and then take off and it acts like its slipping and then all of sudden it grabs with a clunk. this has happen at all times of it being driven. i have taken it in to the dealer put unless they can duplicate it then they cant fix it. well gm will not pay them for warranty work unless. now it has gotten to the point that it made a loud clunk and then was slipping as you pushed the gas, so right then we took it to the dealer so they could drive it. the transmission tech drove it and look at the trans fluid and it was 1 1/2 qts low. no leaks ever and it has been in to the dealer at least 5 times and 3 in the last 2 1/2 months and the fluids, i hope were good. tech topped it off and it shifted fine for the weekend. then the next monday it started slipping and hardly accelerating again. took it back in and the tech checked code and it had some torque converter codes. they replaced a wiring harness in the transmission. i work for a couple of days then it started again. we took it back in and the service dept. called gm and they had them change the ignition sw (module i think). i will post code and exact when i get the info from the dealer. i will see if this fixes it. *tr | |||

| Dt: the contact stated when he was exiting the vehicle, with the engine off it began to roll down the driveway. he took the vehicle to the dealership, and they found the bolt that holds the shaft in the transmission was stripped. the bolt was replaced. then, while exiting a parking lot, the vehicle shifted from drive to neutral on its own. the indicator still read drive, but would not go. he stated the steering column did register that the vehicle was in drive, and when driving over a bump, it shifted into neutral. the vehicle was taken to the dealership, they contacted the manufacturer, and they stated tissues normal. the dealership stated they adjusted cables, but the work order he received showed that nothing was done. *ak the driver side mirror wasn't holding, it would fold. the navigation radio system was replaced. the headliner was replaced. updated 01/23/06. *jb | |||

| Ever since i bought it in oct 2004, i felt this jumping of the truck after i stopped and started to accelerate it would do this, i called in and they told me that maybe because it was new, it may be doing that , i took it in last week because the engine light was lit and there was a strange burning smell on , it and there was also the recall of the back seats, and a light sensor loose, it was returned to me after a few days, and they said that it was because the gas cap was loose? that was the worst excuse that i have heard, i am still having that problem, but i just don't want to take it anymore because they are going to come out with the some lame excuse , and still have the problem. *jb | |||

| On 23 march 2005 at 6:30am, i was driving my 2005 yukon denali in a 15mph school zone on a military post when my driver's side rear tire came off. when i skidded to the side of the road and got out, i noticed that one of the lugs was broken off. this was the cause of my wheel coming off. i was only driving between 10-15mph. i was the only one in the vehicle and there were no injuries. when the tire came off the vehicle, 2 cars in oncoming traffic had to swirve to miss it. when i called the dealership (cutter dodge/gmc in waipahu, hi) the finance manager told me to call the service department. i purchased my vehicle on 05 march 2005 as a demo. i haven't had the vehicle for even 3 weeks. when i talked with my insurance company on the phone, they told me to check with the service department to see if it was covered under warranty since it was a new vehicle. when i towed the vehicle to the service department, they told me it would take like an hour to do an assessment on everything to see how the problem occurred. if i was on the highway going 55mph, i could have lost my life!!! the service manager after 2 hours said that i would be granted a rental car for the day, and they would have to do an investigation. today, 24 march 2005 when i went to the service station, they told me that they would take care of all the damages that were caused to the rotor/body/axel or shaft. they extended my rental until monday. at this moment, i do not feel safe in this vehicle. i paid over $53,000 for this vehicle. i want another vehicle. they can have this vehicle back and get me another one just like it!!!! i will do whatever it takes to get another vehicle. either i will go to the better business bureau, gmc, or the local news. just like i said, i do not feel safe driving in this vehicle!!!!!!!*ak | |||
