Purchased vehicle used @ 32K miles. Vehicle almost un-rideable due to rough ride & terrible vibration. Took to GMC dealer, they replaced one front shock (completely leaked out) and one bad rim. Truck still rides extremely rough & has a vibration between 35-55 mph. Almost unbearable on longer rides. Tires are brand new. Dealer says that it is within spec. This should be illegal on a $75K msrp "luxury" SUV!

10/1/2018 I was driving my vehicle on the 99 freeway South bound in lathrop, ca and out of nowhere my vehicle began to overheat, the temperature gauge was to the very top, I was not able to drive to drive to a nearby gas station, due to the vehicle lost speed and it would not let me accelerate during that time the engine idle light came on, so I was forced to pull over on a very narrow soft shoulder, then immediately the check engine light came on and also the service engine light. There was a light smoke a lot of noises coming from the engine. Everything happens so fast it was very frightening due to the heavy oncoming traffic passing me by. I had to have my car toed to stockton for repair.

4 week old 2016 Yukon denali XL, has stalled 3 times in last 4 weeks, engine cuts off after a left or right turn, and it has to be restarted! could have easily had an accident or worse. Took it to the dealer, 3 times. 1st two times, all of service dept. Could not diagnose the problem. Today, after a stall, called onstar, ran a diagnostics, found nothing of value, I left it at dealership and contacted district mgr. Matt tillson. I was told that they would escalate the issue. I did tell dealer that GMC and dealership would be at fault if vehicle is in an accident and dies while I am driving. I did not want the vehicle back without the problem having been fixed.
