December 2015

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.
