The GMC Yukon Denali is generally known for offering spacious interiors, luxury features, and powerful performance. However, many GMC Yukon Denali owners have reported persistent issues that affect the Yukon’s reliability, safety, and comfort. Enduring such problems can be extremely frustrating for new GMC Yukon Denali owners who were probably expecting a top-of-the-line, luxury automobile.
If you recently purchased a GMC Yukon Denali from GM and it turns out the vehicle is a lemon, you may be feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do next. This is where it makes sense to retain the services of an experienced and knowledgeable Lemon Law attorney with Bad Vehicle.
Common GMC Yukon Denali Issues That May Provide Grounds for a Lemon Law Claim
Here are some of the most common issues reported by owners, which may qualify your vehicle for a lemon law claim:
- Transmission Problems
- Engine Problems
- Electrical System Problems
- Braking System Issues
- Suspension and Steering Problems
- Air Conditioning and Climate Control Issues
- Fuel System Problems
- Safety System Malfunctions
- Drivetrain Problems
The above-listed issues are not only annoying and frustrating, but they can pose a significant safety risk to you and any passengers in your vehicle.
Does Your GMC Yukon Denali Qualify as a Lemon?
A GMC Yukon Denali may be considered a “lemon” if it has one or more major defects that significantly impair the vehicle’s use, value, or safety. In addition, if the defect, or defects, cannot be repaired after a reasonable number of attempts by GM-authorized dealership or service center, then you may have grounds for file a claim under applicable Lemon Law.
The exact criteria for determining what makes up a “reasonable number of attempts” may differ depending on the state where you reside. However, if you’ve tried to repair the same defect at least three times or haven’t been able to drive the car for 30 days or more due to repair, then you should speak to a Lemon Law attorney sooner rather than later.
Options If Your GMC Yukon Denali Turns Out to Be a Lemon
If your GMC Yukon Denali meets the criterion to be considered a lemon under applicable state law, then you may be able to pursue one or more of the following options:
- Replacement: GM may offer to replace your defective GMC Yukon Denali with a comparable new Cadillac vehicle of the same or similar year, make, and model.
- Repurchase (Buyback): GM may repurchase your defective GMC Yukon Denali and provide a full refund of the purchase price, plus collateral costs such as fees, taxes, and finance charges.
- Cash Settlement: In some instances, GM may simply offer you a cash settlement as an alternative to repurchase or replacement.
