AFTER OWNING THE 2015 YUKON DENALI FOR 6 MONTHS, I HAVE TO SAY THIS VEHICLE HAS ITS FLAWS. THE 4WD SYSTEM IS IN FOR SERVICE ALREADY AFTER 9000 MILES. NOT THE KIND OF QUALITY I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED ON AN $80,000 SUV. AT THE MOMENT, THE VEHICLE IS ONLY A 2 WD SYSTEM AND SEEMS VERY DIFFICULT TO DRIVE AND TURN. ALSO, THE INTELLILINK SOFTWARE IS VERY "BUGGY" AND NEEDS MANY UPDATES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ENTIRE TOUCHSCREEN WILL GO BLANK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS CAUSE FOR CONCERN AND IS A MAJOR DRIVING DISTRACTION. *TR

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 GMC Yukon Denali Xl 1500 verdict →
