2015 GMC Yukon Complaint Log

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY OTHER DRIVERS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO TELL ME THAT ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHTS WAS NOT WORKING. BOTH LIGHTS ARE EFFECTED, BUT NOT USUALLY AT THE SAME TIME, SO I AT LEAST HAVE ONE WORKING LIGHT AT A TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP USED CAR LOT ON 01/23/2019 WHETHER I AM SITTING STILL OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OFF, YOU CAN HIT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH YOUR HAND AND IT WILL MOMENTARILY COME BACK ON.

WHERE TO START, IT SEEMS GMC YUKON XL HAS BEEN HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES WITH ITS MODELS 2015-UP. IMAGINE DRIVING AT NIGHT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT THEN A FEW MOMENTS LATER THE OTHER AS WELL. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON GOING WITH GMC BUT NO RESPONSE TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. HOW CAN THREE YEAR OLD SUV LOSE NOT ONE BUT BOTH BREAK LIGHTS AND YOUR STUCK OUT OF TOWN TRYING TO FIX OR FIND A RESOLVE. YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE BULB BUT NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY, GOD FORBID I WOULD OF BEEN DRIVING OR SOME HIT ME DUE TO BOTH BREAK LIGHTS GOING OUT. THIS ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS FOR THE GMC NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. YOU SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS A GREAT VEHICLE ONLY TO REALIZE YOU PURCHASED A LEMON INSTEAD.

MY TAILLIGHT STOPED WORKING. WHEN I TURN MY HEADLIGHTS ON IT WONT TURN ON OR WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET(FACEBOOK AND FOURM SITES) AND FOUND THOUSAND AND THOUSAND OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THE BRAKE LIGHT/RUNNING LIGHT IS NOT A LIGHT BULB LIKE MOST CARS THAT YOU CAN JUST REPLACE WHEN IT GOES OUT. ITS LED.SO YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND IT WAS OVER $800. LED ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A LONG LIFE BEFORE THEY GO OUT.... THIS IS ONLY A 2015 I MEAN COME ON. SO I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE DARK AND DURING THIS RAIN STORM ON FREEWAY AND REGULAR STREETS WITH NO BRAKE OR RUNNING LIGHTS WHICH I S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE I DRIVE MY KIDS IN THIS CAR. THIS CANT KEEP HAPPENING. I ALSO READ THAT MULTIPLE PEOPLE SAID ONCE THEY BOUGHT A NEW ASSEMBLY IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND STOPPED WORKING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS INSANE.

I PURCHASED MY 2015 YUKON IN 8/2016 AND IN THE BEGINNING OF 2017 THE TAIL LIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE BURNT OUT THE BRAKE LIGHT DID NOT WORK DURING THE DAY BUT AT NIGHT IT WOULD WORK . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE LED LAMP HAD GONE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE . I CAME FIND OUT THIS LAMP IS ALL ONE PART AND THE COST FOR A SUPPOSEDLY IS OVER $600 JUST THE LAMP . SO I HAD TO BUY THE LAMP AND REPLACED IT MYSELF BUT THEY ASKED ME FOR THE CORE . SO THIS WAS IN 2917 AND NOW TWO YEARS LATER THE SAME LIGHT THAT BROUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2017 IS OUT AGAIN AND I'M HAVING TO SPEND ANOTHER 600 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. I FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO HELP THE CONSUMER BECAUSE GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THIS AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE VONSUR . CAN SOMETHING BE DONE ?

THE REAR POWER LOCKS ARE INOPERATIVE AT TIMES- WHEN USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND THE MASTER SWITCH. OWNER IS HAVING TO REACH TO THE BACK SEAT TO OPEN THE BACK DOORS WITH THE BACK DOOR LOCKS TO ALLOW PASSENGERS (CHILDREN) OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE BACK SEAT PASSENGERS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT ON THEIR OWN, OR BE ABLE TO GET OUT QUICKLY WITH ASSISTANCE. THIS ALSO MAKES THE CHILD LOCK FUNCTION UNUSABLE AS THE BACK DOORS WOULD NEVER OPEN.

TAIL LAMPS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY OPERATE. AT TIMES NONE WOULD WORK AT OTHERS SOME WOULD WORK. AND OTHERS ALL WOULD WORK. GMC FINALLY ADDRESSES THIS WITH: N182180270 (SPECIAL COVERAGE). GMC WAS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON OR PRIOR TO NOVEMBER 26, 2019. THEY STATED NOTIFICATIONS TO CUSTOMERS WOULD BEGIN ON DECEMBER 12, 2019. I WAS NOTIFIED TODAY 2-12-2020 WELL AFTER GMC WAS AWARE OF ISSUES. GMC ALLOWS FOR WARRANTY OF 6 YEARS AFTER PLACED IN SERVICE OR 72,000 MILES. SINCE MY VEHICLE HAD 902 MILES AT TIME OF PURCHASE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 72,902 MILES. HAD GMC MADE ME AWARE IN DECEMBER OR TOO AFTER KNOWING IN LATE NOV 2019 I WOULD STILL HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY FOR A RESOLUTION TO FIX ISSUES. THERE WILLFUL NEGLIGENCE IN FAILING TO NOTIFY ME HINDERED THEIR AVAILABLE WARRANTY UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE OF NO USE TO ME TO MY DETRIMENT OF SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS (~$1800 USD).

I HAVE NOW HAD MY 3RD LED LIGHT GO OUT ON MY YUKON XL 2015 THE FIRST WAS THE PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT THEN THE PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT AND NOW THE DRIVER TAIL LIGHT

THE TAILLIGHTS WILL SHORT OUT AND STOP WORKING. THE TRUE SIGNAL WORKS BUT THE BRAKE AND RUNNING LIGHTS STOP WORKING. THE TOUCHSCREEN DISPLAY ISN'T WORKING ON SOME PARTS OF THE SCREEN. FOR EXAMPLE, I CANNOT CHANGE THE TIME BECAUSE THE TOGGLES TO CHANGE THE NUMBERS UP OR DOWN WILL NOT WORK.

DRIVER SIDE REAR TAIL GAVE OUT TWICE AND DEALERSHIP OR GMC WON'T OVER WITH. THE DEALERSHIP THEM SELF SAID IT WAS FAULTY AND THEY BEEN HAVING LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THERE INVENTORY

REAR BREAK TAILIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL TIMES. MOST OF THE TIME THEY REQUIRE TAPPING ON THE TAILLIGHT TO GET THEM TO LIGHT THE TAIL LIGHT. NOT A BULB ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL YUKON'S OF THIS MAKE. VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE THEM WORK INCONSISTENTLY . SOMETIMES ONE LIGHT OUT AND SOMETIMES BOTH.

I HAVE REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILIGHT AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE TAILIGHT IS NOT WORKING. THE TURN SIGNAL AND REVERSE LIGHT WORK BUT THE RED PART OF THE LIGHT WILL WORK AND THEN GO OUT.

CIRCUIT BOARDS IN LED TAIL LIGHTS FAILING. THIS RESULTS IN SPORADIC FUNCTIONING BRAKE LIGHTS. THE DESIGN OF THE BUS BAR IN THE TAIL LIGHT HAS RESULTED IN CREATING WEAK SPOTS IN THE BUS BAR THAT CRACK AND UNLESS REPLACED OR REPAIRED AT SUBSTANTIAL COST THE BRAKE LIGHTS MAY OR MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY.

BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHTS DEFECTIVE DUE TO INTERNAL CRACKS IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD

THE BACK PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN FUNCTIONING INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST 15 MONTHS. WE HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY OTHER VEHICLES LETTING US KNOW 'YOUR TAILIGHT IS OUT' BUT WHEN WE GET HOME TO LOOK AT IT, THE LIGHT IS FUNCTIONING JUST FINE. AFTER MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES BEING TOLD THE SAME THING, WE TOOK THE YUKON INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE DEALER LET US KNOW THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS DESIGN, AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL/WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER - OUR YUKON HAD 76,000 MILES AT THE TIME WE TOOK IT IN, AND THE RECALL ONLY COVERED VEHICLES LESS THAN 72,000 MILES OR 6YEARS FROM DATE OF SERVICE. NOW - I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND SEEN ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING DUE TO A POOR DESIGN FROM GM. LIMITING THE RECALL TO A CERTAIN MILEAGE IS [XXX] WHEN YOU KNOW THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE TAILLIGHT NOT WORKING, BUT GM IS NOW REFUSING TO REPLACE IT? I EXPECT THIS ITEM TO BE COVERED IN FULL, AS I DON'T SPEND $70K ON A VEHICLE ONLY TO HAVE TO REPLACE DEFECTS ON MY OWN DIME. $1000 FOR A REPLACEMENT TAILLIGHT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WOULD LIKE OUR TAILLIGHT REPLACED AT NO COST DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT - BOTH OF WHICH ARE NO FAULT OF THE USE AND OWNERSHIP OF MY YUKON. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN PARKING, AND DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SOEEDV( 60 MPH)ON INTERSTATE IN SUDDEN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AFTER WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE AND AGAIN AFTER WITH MORE THAN A MONTH BETWEEN INCIDENTS . THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12/31/18 AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE THAT INCLUDED A MULTI POINT INSPECTION AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE VEHICLE IS FREQUENTLY SERVICED AS REQUIRED AND HAS TIRES WITH GOOD TREAD . THE FAILURE IS ALARMING AS IT OFTEN COMES WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A NECESSARY STOP AND THE FAILURE COMES OUT OF THE BLUE THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRENCE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY SINCE THE MATTER IS LITERALLY A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED OUT AND WILL UPDATE THE DEALERSHIP FINDINGS .

REAR TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. I HAD JUST OVER 37K MILES ON MY VEHICLE WHEN IT HAPPENED, WHICH IS OUTSIDE GM'S WARRANTY. CALLED DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME ITS BEEN A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, BUT NO PLANS FOR GM TO RECALL OR REPAIR PART. WAS QUOTED OVER $700 TO REPLACE THE PART. ITS A FAULTY, CHEAP DESIGN AND MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND BEEN DRIVEN ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS ONLY. IT LOOKS BRAND NEW. HERE IS JUST 1 FORUM OF PEOPLE DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM & A WORKAROUND FIX. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T53845_DS768963

HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 2018 AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND WHEN TRIED TO STOP AND PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS LIKE IT FROZE AND I WAS STILL MOVING. I WAS DRIVING 37MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE AND TAIL LED STRIP LIGHT SHORT AND GOES OUT AND STOPS WORKING. WILL WORK SOMETIMES WHEN BACK HATCH SHUTS AND JARS IT OR I HIT A BUMP. DEALERSHIP SAYS LIGHT IT OUT AND NEEDS REPLACING. NOT SURE WHY THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON WHEN JARRED. HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER ALL THIS ESPECIALLY BEING ELECTRICAL. SEEMS TO BE ON GOING PROBLEM

FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP CAUSED VEHICLE TO NOT BRAKE AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP IN DRIVE THRU RESTAURANT AND STOP LIGHT ON STATE ROUTE.

THE VEHICLE'S TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER'S SIDES ARE DEFECTIVE. THE SOLDER DOES NOT HOLD AND THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE DRIVER IS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THIS MAJOR ISSUE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS OF GMC'S YUKON'S AND DENALI'S WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAFETY PROBLEM. I REALIZED THE PROBLEM WHEN ANOTHER MOTORIST ALMOST STRUCK THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT BRAKE LIGHTS AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AND BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. THE SIGNAL LIGHTS WILL STILL WORK.

PASSENGER SIDE REAR TAIL LIGHT LED'S STOP WORKING, HAD TO REPLACE THE WHOLE UNIT. NOT WARRANTIED

WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT TODAY BY SOMEONE TELLING US OUR TAIL LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND GOING OUT. OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65000 MILES! I WOULD THINK A LED LIGHT SHOULD NOT GO OUT YET. MY VEHICLE SITS UNDER A CARPORT WHEN NOT IN USE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR SAME YEAR MODEL

2015 GMC YUKON DENALI REAR TAIL LIGHTS FAIL DUE TO DEFECTED PARTS. GMC WILL NOT REPLACE THE FAILED PARTS WHICH IS A KNOW SAFETY ISSUE. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE GMC YUKON 2015-2019 MODELS.

POWER BRAKES FAILING AT LOW SPEEDS-IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC-PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY REQUIRES STRONG PRESSING ON BRAKE PEDAL AS IF THE BRAKES ARE INTERMITTENTLY LOOSING POWER ASSIST

AT SLOW SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE BRAKES WILL WORK ONE TIME AND THE NEXT TIME I WOULD HAVE TO STOMP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE SUV TO STOP IT WAS ON A STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT FLOW GMC OF WINSTON-SALEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN'T GET ANYONE TO TALK TO ME

WHEN TOWING A SMALL CAMPER AND TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS MY BRAKE BECOMES HARD AND MUST BE PRESSED VERY HARD TO SLOWLY STOP THE CAR. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND IS QUITE SCARY. THE VEHICLE TRAVELS FURTHER BEFORE STOPPING THAN WITH PROPER BRAKING WHICH HAS THE POTENTIAL OF PUTTING ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. DEALER SAYS IT IS A VACUUM PUMP BEGINNING TO FAIL BUT THERE ARE NO PUMPS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE SO I CANNOT HAVE IT REPAIRED! NOTES ABOUT DATES AND MILEAGE ARE FOR THE LAST OCCURRENCE AND AS CLOSE AS I CAN RECALL FOR EACH.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SPECIFICALLY WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED RATE SUCH AS SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC OR PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. THE BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND THE BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE. YOU MUST PUSH THE BRAKES VERY HARD TO STOP. WE TOOK TO THE GM SERVICE AT OUR DEALERSHIP AND A BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP. THANKFULLY WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT AND WERE ABLE TO STOP AGAINST BUMPER STOP. WE CALLED THE GM SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARRANGED FOR A TOW. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

At certain speeds my vehicle vibrates, like a grinding sound at speeds between 50-55. This is a safety risk because I have children and grandchild that frequently ride with me. I have taken my vehicle back to the dealership and they say it is no codes and send it back to me without fixing the problem. My vehicle has not been inspected by anyone except the GM dealership. I got my vehicle Nov. 2018 and this started happening between Dec. 2018 and Jan. 2019. My check engine light did appear and was flashing around this time. In 2019 I had to replace the rear shocks and I believe they are not working properly now.

AT SLOWER SPEED, BRAKES BECOME STIFF AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AS NORMAL AND INSTEAD STOPPED ABOUT 1/4 OF THE WAY AND WAS SOLID EVEN WHEN PRESSING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE. ALMOST REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BUT SINCE I WAS AT SUCH A SLOW RATE OF SPEED I WAS ABLE TO ROLL A FEW FEET AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF AND START IT BACK UP AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE BUT THE NEXT TIME I WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE SLOW RATE OF SPEED, THE BRAKES THEN AGAIN WERE VERY HARD TO PRESS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS TAKEN CARE OF. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 5 DAYS UNTIL THEY COULD GET TO IT - DISAPPOINTED IN THAT CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE.

INTERMITTENT FAILED PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT ON A 2015 YUKON, WORKS OCCASIONALLY. QUOTED 650$ TO REPAIR POORLY MANUFACTURED LED LIGHTS!

PASSENGER BREAK LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. TOOK TO GMC THEY SAID THERE IS NO KNOWN ISSUE WHICH IS A LIE! HUNDREDS OF OWNERS ONLINE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T NAIL DOWN THE ISSUE SINCE THERE'S CLEARLY POWER THERE. THEY WANT ME TO BUY A WHILE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY! ABOUT 900 DOLLARS FOR THE SAME FAULTY PART!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,200.

THE SUNROOF OF MY 2015 GMC YUKON SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED WITH A FEW NORMAL SIZED VEHICLES AND NO OVERPASSES NEARBY.

WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR CITY DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND LITTLE TO NO BRAKING POWER. BRAKES ARE FINE AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS.

AIR CONDITIONER HAS FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 18 MONTHS WE'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. FIRST REPAIR 18 MONTHS AGO RESULTED IN "DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONING LINES" THAT WERE LEAKING, AND WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP (COVERED BY AFTERMARKET EXTENDED WARRANTY). SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED JUNE 2018, AND SAME DEALERSHIP STATED COMPRESSOR DEVELOPED CRACKS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (FORTUNATELY STILL UNDER AFTERMARKET EXTENDED WARRANTY). NOW, BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2018, SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR A THIRD TIME AND IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS FROM THE LATEST "REPAIR", AND UNFORTUNATELY MY EXTENDED AFTERMARKET WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I CAN UNDERSTAND A SYSTEM FAILURE ONCE, HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME WITH A SECOND FAILURE OF THE SAME SYSTEM WITHIN 3 YEARS, BUT QUESTION THE DEALERSHIP'S ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX A PROBLEM AFTER A THIRD FAILURE IN AS MANY YEARS OF THE SAME SYSTEM. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT QUESTIONING GM'S RELIABILITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. I PURCHASED A NEW ESCALADE AND LOADED SILVERADO FROM THIS DEALERSHIP NEW AND HAD A FEW MINOR PROBLEMS WITH THOSE VEHICLES THAT THE DEALERSHIP FIXED. AFTER Y EARS OF OWNING THOSE, PURCHASED A NEWER MODEL ESCALADE AND HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS THAT SEEMED UNUSUAL FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE HAD MY CURRENT YUKON IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER FOUR TIMES IN THE 22 MONTHS I'VE OWNED IT, AND HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN THE APPARENT DOWNTURN IN GM RELIABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS. IN ADDITION TO THE AC PROBLEM, HAVE ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY ENCOUNTERED A PASSENGER SIDE LED TAIL LIGHT FAILURE, WHICH AT AN APPROXIMATE $750 REPAIR MEANS THAT ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I APPARENTLY NEED TO BUDGET $250 PER YEAR TO ENSURE MY TAIL LIGHTS WORK. AGAIN, LOVE THE RIDE AND HANDLING OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT SINCE RELIABILITY APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH GM, MAY HAVE TO BEGIN LOOKING AT ANOTHER BRAND OF VEHICLE THAT IS MORE RELIABLE.

LED BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT QUICKLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD. MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE TO THE POINT THAT MULTIPLE BUSINESSES ADVERTISE ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC FIX. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1500 FOR REPAIR OF BOTH AND DESPITE ONLINE ADVERTISEMENTS THEY DENY THIS IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WHATEVER THE CAUSE IT BYPASSES THE DASHBOARD ALARM. YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT VIA ACCIDENT, COLLISION, OR BY RECEIVING A TICKET.

BRAKE LED LIGHTS GO OUT AND ON, SOMETIMES ONE SIDE WORKS, THEN OTHER TIMES THE OTHER SIDE GOES OUT, AND SOMETIMES BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES BY BANGING THE COVER, IT TURNS ON AND WORKS, BUT THEN THEY GO OUT.

2015 YUKON PASSENGER LED TAIL LIGHT HAS FAILED. VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, AND IN ADDITION TO THE TAIL LIGHT FAILURE, HAVE HAD 3 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILURES TO DATE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE TAIL LIGHT HAS BEEN INOPERABLE AS THERE WAS NO WARNING OR INDICATOR TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER OF A TAIL LIGHT PROBLEM. I ONLY DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM WHILE FOLLOWING MY WIFE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE AS SHE WAS DRIVING THE YUKON. LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS LODGED ON BOTH ISSUES, I'M BEGINNING TO SERIOUSLY QUESTION GM'S RELIABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE AND PARTS. ALWAYS THOUGHT LEDS WERE MORE RELIABLE, BUT LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LODGED, MY ASSUMPTIONS ARE APPARENTLY WRONG. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ON YUKON TAIL LIGHT REPAIR ALSO SHOWS A COTTAGE INDUSTRY IN REPAIRING THESE LED TAIL LIGHTS HAS POPPED UP, WHICH INDICATES A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND RELIABILITY OF THESE TAIL LIGHTS. IF THESE BUSINESSES ADVERTISE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THEIR REPAIRS, WHY CAN'T GM MAKE THE NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR TAIL LIGHTS TO IMPROVE THEIR RELIABILITY. ANY REASONABLE SEARCH SHOWS THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS ISSUE, SO WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WITH NO NOTIFICATION TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE OF A TAIL LIGHT ISSUE, THIS WOULD SEEM TO ME TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND OR INJURIES/FATALITIES FROM ONE OR BOTH TAIL LIGHT FAILURES. IF LEDS ARE LESS RELIABLE THAN THE OLDER INCANDESCENT BULBS, THEN GO BACK TO THE OLDER STYLE BULBS THAT A VEHICLE OWNER CAN REPLACE FOR A FEW DOLLARS INSTEAD OF FORCING OWNERS TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHTS EVERY FEW YEARS AT $600-$750 PER INSTANCE. VERY CONCERNING AND UNSAFE. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY.

BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PUSH WHEN GOING BELOW 5MPH AND DOESN'T WANT TO STOP WHEN PRESSED. SOMETIMES YOU PRESS BRAKES AND PUSH AS HARD AS YOU CAN AND IT JUST KEEPS MOVING UNTIL HE SLOWLY COMES TO A STOP. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED OR EVEN AT A STOP AND YOU NEED TO BARELY MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. MAKES IT HARD TO PARK IN TIGHT SPACES, MOVE IN TRAFFIC, AND IN A DRIVE-THRU. IT WILL HAPPEN MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD - THAT DOESN'T MATTER IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP AND BARELY MOVE AGAIN AND NEED TO STOP - BRAKES BECOME HARD AND IT STOPS ON ITS OWN TIME. I EVEN HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT ON DOWNWARD HILL AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STARTED MOVING AND SUDDENLY STOPPED AGAIN AND MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO STOP. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME SINCE AROUND NOV 2018. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING) LAST WEEK FOR HER POWER STEERING. THE POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FROM A PARKED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO DON SHETLER BUICK CHEVROLET (19400 CROWLEY EUNICE HWY, CROWLEY, LA 70526 (337) 514-4309) WHO THOUGHT THEY WOULD DO THE RECALL REPAIR BUT THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS DISCONNECTED. THEY DEALER CHARGED THE CONTACT FOR TWO HOURS OF LABOR SINCE THOSE REPAIRS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE REPAIRS HAD BEEN COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, LESS THAN 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND CAR WILL NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT WILL ROLL TO A STOP. THIS CAN HAPPEN TRYING TO PULL INTO A TIGHT SPOT OR WHILE IN A DRIVE-THRU OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR SIMPLY YOUR OWN GARAGE OR BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY OR FOUR WAY STOP, THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I TOOK TO THE CERTIFIED DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED BUT APPARENTLY THE RECALL WILL NOT WORK ON MY VEHICLE AS THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED WAS OCT 2018 AND HAD ABOUT 80K MILES ON IT. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT IS A 2015 YUKON AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WANTS TO NOT RECALL FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED BUT HAVE ANYONE HAVING THE PROBLEM COME IN AND SEE IF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEN AT THAT TIME LETS CHARGE THE CUSTOMER WELL OVER $600 TO HAVE THE PUMP REPLACED INSTEAD OF MAKING IT RIGHT BY THE CUSTOMERS. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR ELSE WHERE TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED FOR HALF THE COST TO ME. THIS HAS BEEN A WASTE OF TIME AND I COULD HAD TAKEN ELSE WHERE TO BEGIN WITH MONTHS AGO, IF I WOULD HAD KNOWN THE TYPE OF RECALL THAT GMC WOULD BE GIVING. WHEN YOU PAY MORE THAN $60K FOR A VEHICLE THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

HAD RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT REPLACED IN WARRANTY. THE LEFT REAR IS NOW OUT. THIS IS A DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE FM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH AND MY BRAKES FAILED WHEN I TRIED TO STOP BEFORE PULLING OUT ONTO A CROSS STREET. PEDAL LOCKED, AND VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL. AFTER STEPPING ON THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES THEY ENGAGED AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT, ONLY THIS TIME THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I COASTED INTO A POTTED DECORATIVE TREE THAT STOPPED ME, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THEY BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. NO WARNING SIGNALS APPEARED ON DASH, AND BRAKES AND BRAKE FLUID HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ALL ARE SATISFACTORY.

DRIVER SIDE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT LED POOR QUALITY, FAILED. TURN SIGNAL WORKS, BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T. LEDS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER THAN INCANDESCENT BULBS (AND AT THE EXPENSIVE PRICE OF $500+ TO FIX THIS EACH TIME IT GOES OUT PEOPLE WILL BE LESS APT TO FIX), BUT THIS IS APPARENTLY A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FROM LOOKING INTO IT. THERE WAS NO CATALYST THAT SET THE PROBLEM OFF, JUST FAILED ON ITS OWN.

PURCHASED MY 2015 GMC YUKON IN JUNE 2017. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AROUND MAY OR JUNE OF 2018 THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS FILLED WITH CONDENSATION AND I WAS QUOTED $1462 FOR LABOR AND PARTS. MIND YOU THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES ON IT. I SENT A COMPLAINT TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND ENDED UP PAYING $860 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED. HERE IT IS NOW OCTOBER AND NOW BOTH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. I JUST TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECENT RECALL FOR A STEERING ISSUE. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES RELATED TO THE LIGHTS. SO I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY GET THE TAILLIGHTS FIXED. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ISSUES NOT TESTED AND I AM CURRENTLY FLU AT THE POINT OF READING THIS VEHICLE IN.

BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OFF AND ON FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS BEFORE FINALLY GOING OUT. DEALERSHIP REFUSED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND NOW THE REPAIR WILL COST $1700

MY TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN. MORE IN THE SUMMER THAN THE WINTER. THE BREAK LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL STILL WORK GREAT. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE HAVING TAIL LIGHTS ONE MINUTE AND THEN NOT HAVING TAIL LIGHTS. I ASKED GM MONTHS AGO TO DO A RECALL AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IT IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. WE SEEN ONLINE THAT ALL THE ISSUE IS, IS A PLACE THAT COMES LOOSE IN THE TAIL LIGHT AND IT ONLY NEEDS SOLDERED TOGETHER. WE TOOK THE TAIL LIGHTS OUT AND HAD A PROFESSIONAL TO SOLDER IT AND THEY STARTED WORKING PERFECTLY. THEY NOW ARE WORKING PART TIME AGAIN. FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE I FEEL LIKE IT IS AN ISSUE GM SHOULD FIX. IF IT WAS RARE I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF I HAD TO BUY NEW TAIL LIGHTS. BUT WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WILL NEW LIGHTS NOT DO THE SAME?

TAKATA RECALL I BELIEVE THAT THE TAIL LIGHT SYSTEM OF GMC YUKONS 2015 AND ANY OTHER YEAR THAT SHARE THE SAME LIGHTING SYSTEM NEED TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. MY ENTIRE REAR LIGHTING SYSTEM WENT OUT AND I DID NOT KNOW IT UNTIL SOMEONE STARTED HONKING THE HORN AT ME AND TOLD ME I HAD NO LIGHTS. SOMETIMES MY LIGHTS WORK AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS ONLY ONE LIGHT. WE LOOKED ONLINE FOR OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS LIKE MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE AND THE PROBLEM OF IT IS A DEFECT WHERE A PIECE INSIDE THE LIGHT BREAKS AND CAUSES CONNECTION ISSUES. I HAVE SEEN (ON YOUTUBE) MANY PEOPLE FIXING THE ISSUE BY SAUNTERING IT TOGETHER. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS. DRIVING WITHOUT ANY LIGHTS. IT IS ALSO VERY COSTLY TO BUY NEW LIGHTS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY DO THE SAME THING. THE ISSUE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ONCE IT STARTS. THE ONLY TIME MY REAR LIGHTS WORK 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME NOW IS WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS BECAUSE THE COLD CAUSES THE PLASTIC TO SWELL AND IT MUST CONNECT THE PIECE INSIDE THE LIGHT .

REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE THAT IT IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH MANY COMPLAINTS. MOST NOTABLE IS THE DEALER COST TO REPLACE - $600 - $800 PER FIXTURE DUE TO IT BEING A SEALED UNIT AFTER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. A RECALL IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER.

WE HAD A TAILLIGHT GO OUT AT 70,000 MILES. THE WHOLE UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WE PAID OVER $900 THROUGH A GMC DEALER. THEN WE HAD THE OTHER TAILLIGHT GO OUT AT 88,000 MILES. IT COST $1000 TO REPAIR. WE'VE RECENTLY REASEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND MOST PEOPLE AND REPUTABLE ELECTRICIANS HAVE STATED THAT IT'S A RESULT OF A FAULTY PART IN THE UNIT.
