2001 Gmc Denali problems
Denali is a nameplate used by GMC for its highest trim level on its vehicles. Vehicles with the Denali trim option carry list prices up to 47% higher than base models. Prices range from $38,600 for GMC Terrain to $109,410 for a top-of-the-line Yukon XL Denali (as of 2023).
The Denali nameplate is often used as an insignia or status symbol, and in particular is popular as a less costly alternative to the Cadillac marque. The Yukon Denali line typically represents 40% of Yukon sales in both units and dollars. In 2013 it sold more than 75,558 units of the Denali brand, which accounted for 20% of GMC's sales, making it one of GM's most successful sub-brands.
History
The Denali nameplate started as the top-of-the-line version of the GMC Yukon for the 1999 model year. It was also GM's first attempt to go after sales from the new-for-1998 Lincoln Navigator. At the time of its introduction. General Motors decided to give Cadillac its own luxury SUV so the Denali's exterior was shared with the 1999 Cadillac Escalade, with only the front fascia and lower side body panels differing from the standard Yukon. Although the Yukon was redesigned alongside the Chevrolet Suburban and Chevrolet Tahoe in 2000, the Yukon Denali, Escalade, and Tahoe Limited/Z71 retained their GMT400 base design.
The "Denali" brand was derived from the native Alaskan Athabaskans / Koyukon people's name for the tallest mountain in North America. It is also the name of the Denali National Park and Preserve that surrounds the mountain, as well as Denali State Park.

STEERING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2005-06-04
- VIN: 1GKEK63UX1J
- Components: STEERING
- Summary: I HAD A POWER STEERING FAILURE THAT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT ON SAT. JUNE4TH SHORTLY AFTER TURNING ON MY AIR CONDITIONING. I WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE A PARKING LOT WHEN I THOUGHT MY ENGINE HAD STALLED BECAUSE I HAD NO POWER STEERING. HAD THE TIMING IN THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING BEEN IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION IT COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC FOR ME, MY FAMILY AND/OR OTHERS !!! I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO KELLER AUTOMOTIVE IN SHELBY TOWNSHIP, MI. AFTER I HAD CAUSED JIM CAUSLEY PONTIC IN MT. CLEMENS MICHIGAN TO FIND OUT IF THIS ITEM MIGHT STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER I FOUND OUT IT WASN'T I TOOK IT TO KELLERS WHERE THEY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I BELIEVE THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE SHAFT IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP THAT FAILS. THOUGH THEY DID SAY THEY HAVE NOT SEEN IT OFTEN IN MY MODEL THEY SAID IT WAS SEEN IN OTHER LIGHT DUTY GM TRUCKS THAT SHARE THE SAME POWER STEERING PUMP. THEY STATED TO ME THAT GM HAS UPGRADED THEIR PUMPS TO HAVE A HEAVIER DUTY SHAFT WHICH WAS $394 FOR THE PART ALONE. IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM I WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER IT A SAFETY ISSUE AND EXPECT GM TO ANNOUNCE A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I WILL HOLD ON TO MY RECEIPT IN HOPES THAT GM WOULD COME TO THE TABLE REGARDING RESOLVING THIS ISSUE OR THAT THE NHTSA COULD POSSIBLY FORCE THE ISSUE IF NECCESSARY. IF THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT I'M SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME BUT I WOULD HOPE THAT SOMETHING COULD BE DONE BEFORE THE POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE OCCURS IF I AM CORRECT IN UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON, THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP !!, SINCERELY, PERRY M.

STEERING,POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2005-05-05
- VIN: 1GKEK63U41J
- Components: STEERING,POWER TRAIN
- Summary: MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING WITH MY FOUR CHILDREN GOING ABOUT 5MPH WHEN HE WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND LOST THE POWER STEERING. BEING SO CLOSE TO HOME, HE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. MY HUSBAND ALSO NOTICED THAT AN AXLE SEAL WAS LEAKING AS WELL AND THIS WAS ALSO CONSIDERED COMMON FOR PROBLEMS. WE USE THIS VEHICLE AS OUR ONLY FAMILY CAR, SO NATURALLY WE HAD IT FIXED RIGHT AWAY. WHAT REALLY CONCERNED AND ALERTED MYSELF TO THIS COMPLAINT WAS WHEN MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO GET LOOKED AT A MECHANIC TOLD HIM THAT THEY HAVE FIXED THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS MANY TIMES BEFORE AND IT WOULD ONLY TAKE TWO HOURS. WHEN I WENT TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE, I ASKED FOR MYSELF AGAIN, AND THE SAME MECHANIC TOLD ME IT IS VERY COMMON WITH THESE VEHICLES (SUV"S) WHY DID THIS HAPPENED WITH ONLY 60,000 MILES? THIS IS NOT VERY ENCOURAGING AND IS SOMEWHAT UPSETTING. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE I AM RELOCATING TO TEXAS AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER IF WE WERE TRAVEING WITH THIS VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY A TRAILER ATTACHED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN AS I NOTICED THERE WAS A SIMILAR COMPLAINT BEFORE MINE AND THE SAME VEHICLE MAKE AND YEAR. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A STEERING PUMP WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED AFTER IT WAS TURNED IN FROM A LEASE. I AM CONVINCED THAT I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS PROBLEM ALREADY IN MOTION, ALTHOUGH I CANNOT PROVE IT. I WOULD APPRECIATE THIS LOOKED INTO AND A RESPONSE TO MY COMPLAINT IN A TIMELY FASHION. I MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED THIS BUT CONSIDERING THIS MECHANIC INFORMED ME AND MY HUSBAND THAT HE HAS WORKED ON THESE MANY TIMES BEFORE REALLY CONCERNS ME. I WILL CONTINUE TO PURSUE THIS.
