2009 GMC YUKON DENALI Electrical System Problems

VEHICLE DOES NOT START BECAUSE OF DEAD BATTERY. VEHICLE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. DEALER STATES BATTERY IS FINE. ON THE SECOND INCIDENT A NEW BATTERY IS PURCHASED. DEALER CONTINUES TO STATE OF NOT SEEING AN ISSUE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT STARTED ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS. FIVE TIMES TOTAL IN A TWO YEAR PERIOD. THE DEALER DOES NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. TO COPE WITH THE ISSUE WE HAVE BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY AND A BATTERY JUMP STARTER. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS FOR A VEHICLE. OUR VEHICLE IS A NORMAL GMC YUKON DENALI. WE HAVE NOT ADDED ANY AFTERMARKET PARTS. WE FEEL THIS SHOULD BE PART OF A RECALL IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS ADDRESS AND FIX AT THEIR COST. *TR
