I purchased my used 2007 GMC Yukon SLT from a dealer auction lot 2 years ago with 29,000 miles....
I thought the truck looked gorgeous (see pic) it had the Denali grille, Denali wheels, interior was nicely appointed although without the buckets in the rear, and no 3rd row seating.
At mile 32,*** I had a 4x4 issue where when it rained a warning came up telling me to check 4x4, turned out to be the something in the drive train (forgive the lack of vernacular, I am not good with cars and their terms.)
The car squealed when I applied the brakes so I changed the brakes myself since to start fresh with new pads and rotors, the squealing continued on.
A year later, I get a check engine light so I bring the car into the dealership and the charcoal filter in my gas tank went bad, while dealing with that they decided to check on the squealing to find that my calipers went bad and the master cylinder had been shot. Mind you this truck has less tha 55,*** miles on it at the time.
Last week, my sunroof (which looks original) went off the track and that now has to be replaced. While worrying about that the light that is supposed to come on when you engage the parking brake stopped working.. That turned out to be a simple "wire" which still cost me $200.
The major issue for me solely lies within the sunroof "not being original and the dealership claiming that it's an aftermarket sunroof just to get out of paying to fix/replace it that is causing me to vent severely.
So needless to say I have had about $6K in repairs on a truck that currently has 61,*** miles on it, and is supposed to be a durable, long lasting vehicle.
To make matters worse, I have this Route 66 warranty that I got from the bank that did the loan on the truck. This warranty is noting but a complete scam, they get out of paying for EVERYTHING after selling it to you covering "EVERYTHING." Boy did they see me coming.....
So now I am driving a 2007 GMC Yukon that with the current repairs and original cost, could fund a small countries GDP. Needless to say I am beginning to regret my purchase of this vehicle. Oh I did add tires recently which were a solid $1400 which I didn't count since that is a legitimate replacement need, along with the average of $400/month in gas just to move the thing around......
I do not see how these vehicles command the price they do today, their prestige is more embarrassing than most people understand....
I know I may upset people with this post, but this is what I have gone through, I don't treat my property poorly, especially when my property cost as much as it did, and for me to go through what I have gone through is well beyond anything I can comprehend, the carfax came back clean and still comes back clean on this vehicle however something else leads me to believe that the people who owned it before me did not take much care of this thing....... This is still too many things to go wrong with this machine so soon........
