| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I purchased my 2001 yukon denali xl on november 22, 2006 and when i was driving it home from the dealership it died at a red light. it started right back up so i didn't think much about it. the very next day the vehicle died during acceleration when i was at about 20 mph. i had a hard time restarting the vehicle. it spit and sputtered. when i did get it started i tried to drive and when i used the brakes it wanted to die or it would idle up and make braking difficult. i could not maintain a constant speed and the engine kept dying. there is no way i could drive this vehicle without crashing it. at this point i decided the vehicle is unsafe to drive. i had it towed to the dealership. the next business day, they could not find anything wrong with it. its obvious there is a serious safety concern that is intermittent. it is now sitting at a different mechanics shop trying to find the problem. i have read so many complaints about these similar vehicles with similar problems. however, they have been broken down into different categories like yukon, yukon xl, yukon denali, yukon denali xl, or just denali. the complaints are also listed in different categories of "complaint type". nobody knows what "complaint type" to list it under because they don't know exactly what is causing it. obviously there is an issue with unknown origin and resolution. and with the complaints being broken down into different vehicle and type categories, maybe it isn't realized these vehicles are all built on the same platform and have the same problem. this is a serious safety problem and something needs to be done. i can't even drive my new vehicle. *jb |
