I've had my 2021 Yukon Denali Xl since Nov. 3rd & I've driven it maybe 2weeks. It's been in the shop longer than I've had to enjoy it. Some kind of electrical problem that they can't figure out... got it back this past Saturday, after over 3weeks in the shop. Couldn't wait to get back in it & enjoy...Woke up Monday & it wouldn't start again... the same problem... talk to a few tow truck guys & the said they've been picking up a few 2021 Denali's & Tahoe's... Very disappointing, especially after trading my Escalade

Bought a 2021 Yukon XL Denali with auto leveling suspension. 87 miles and car dropped 2" on passenger side. Been in the shop for 20 days and still not fixed. I should have known better than to buy a new design with COVID on top. What good is a $85,000 vehicle if you can't trust you'll make it down the road on your next trip? Hoping for 30 days and lemon law to kick in. Do not buy this vehicle until they figure out how to build it reliably!

Purchased 2021 Yukon xl last October. Took it in for recall the download made the engine control module fail..No parts available stayed in the shop for three weeks. Driving on busy highway the other day it died ...had to be towed to the shop. That’s been nearly two weeks . Again no parts.. nobody really interested at dealership on fixing. Should have keep the 2017 suburban.

Paid $81,000 and nothing but problems!!! Do not buy!!! Water leak due to them not placing sunroof gasket. 2nd water leak from roof antenna, electrical issues throwing sensors on before truck break down. Plus every 2 weeks I have to call roadside assistance to jump my truck after a long day at work.

Bought my 2021 Yukon Denali on October 2020. It’s already been to the service 5 times and on Monday it’s going back . They even kept it there almost 30 days one time . Had electrical problems which included the electrical harness and the module and one part was not available. After over 20 days they got the part only to find another electrical part was not working. This also caused rear seat entertainment to not work . And now the rear seat entertainment only works when it feels like it . Still not fixed ! Another issue i keep getting SD Card has been removed which it hasn’t . This causes my navigation not to work . Took it again to dealership service dept and was told SD card works fine. Message popped in and out now it’s just there. Also every time i wash my vehicle the water stays on roof swishes on roof . It doesn’t drain properly. Took it twice they say it’s fine. They finally ordered new part to replace the tubes so hoping it works. It’s going back to the service dept for who knows how long this time . It’s a shame for such a beautiful and very expensive vehicle to have so many problems ! Come on GMC do better and fix all these issues! I’m paying a lot of money for my vehicle to be at the repair shop longer than it is with me ! Shame !! I would recommend anyone looking to buy a GMC Yukon Denali , get something else or maybe stay away from the 2021 model. I traded my 2018 Yukon Denali for the 2021. I truly regret it! The 2018 didn’t give me any problems. Edit : Fast forward to June 2022 and new problem arose on sept 2021. It’s using oil but no leaks. After oil change after 1000 miles it lost 2 qt dealership added oil . Then again lost 1 qt after 1000 miles . I keep getting warning message low oil add oil ! So annoying . I bought a piece of junk. I have to keep going to dealership every 1000 miles so they can document ! But apparently GMC says it’s normal to use up oil. My 2018 Yukon GMC never did this .
