June 16, 2005 my wife and I purchased a new 2005 GMC yukon denali. Excited to have our new vehicle we figured everything must work, it's new. We found out the next day non of the functions in the memory package worked. We called the salesman who insisted we were not operating it correctly. The daytime running lights also did not work. I took the truck back to the dealer on 6/20/05 and the salesman took in into service after he could not figure it out. Service did not know what was wrong either.
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.
