THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2003 YUKON DENALI. FIRST, THE DASH TRIM IS CREAKY AND MAKES ALOT OF NOISE. THE AIR CONDITIONER IS NOT VERY COLD. WHEN I BREAK AND SLIGHTLY RELEASE I GET THIS MOANING LIKE NOISE FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. FINALLY, ON ONE OF THE RUNNING BOARDS THE PAINT IS PEALING OFF. I AM NOT VERY PLEASED BY ALL THESE DEFECTS, ESPECIALLY FROM A 50,000 DOLLAR TRUCK.*AK
