Hi, all. I'm not really active on the forum, but I lurk and read now and then. I don't really customize or change my vehicle much, so there's nothing much interesting for me to say.
I just wanted to drop in and say hi, and give an update on my 2015 Denali.
Starting at about 10K miles, I was having an issue with vibration in the truck. The dealer blamed the tires, and replaced 3 of the 4 tires over several visits. I replaced the factory tires (BFG?) with Michelin Defenders, and I haven't had any road vibration issues since. Note that I don't believe this is the buffeting noise that others seem to have.
Around 40K miles, the AC condenser developed a leak and required replacement. It was covered under the extended warranty. I have seen other vehicles have this issue, as well.
It currently has 55K miles on it and is in the shop to have the torque converter replaced. Twice, previously, they "reprogrammed" the transmission for what I will call "clunky shifting." This time, there was a very noticeable shudder as it shifted into 3rd, 4th, and 5th gears. Under heavy throttle, it wasn't as noticeable, but under light throttle, it shook the truck.
Also currently being replaced is one of the rear calipers. Basically, it just creaked very loudly whenever I pressed the brake pedal. It is being covered under my extended warranty.
The other issue that is currently being dealt with are broken retainers on the driver's seat. It causes the bottom of the seat to shift when going around a corner. Very annoying, and it's basically $3 in parts that extended warranties won't cover (fasteners are excluded from most extended warranties) with $150 labor to disassemble the seat.
Aside from these issues, I've enjoyed my truck immensely. I with they would get these things right, because aside from reliability issues, I think this is one of the better vehicles on the market.
