Summary

The trailer break service light is coming on. There is not a way to dismiss the sound and comes on every few seconds, it's very distracting a HUGE safety risk. I have contacted GMC Valencia California and they have have several vehicles with the same issue / hazard. This has apparently been going on for years yet GMC refuses to put a recall on the vehicles nor take action on correcting this on this critical issue. This is very upsetting and with all the complaints / concerns it appears nobody cares for the lives this defective issue could cause, especially when towing. Thank you.

Summary

LED tail light unit continues to crack (metal inside) and not work. Each replacement is over $500. You have to replace or you’ll be ticketed because it is a safety hazard. It is not a bulb replacement it is a faulty design that is costing people thousands to fix and it’s not right. GMC is aware of this defect and they aren’t doing anything about it. Please help and recall these taillights to be replaced by the updated lights!! Thank you for your time and consideration.

Rear driver taillight assembly does not work all the time! One day it works the next day it does not! I had to have the passenger side replaced about 6-8 months ago & it was replaced by the dealer at that time & there was no cost to me as it was under warranty at that time! I think there may be an issue with the LED bulbs! Now the problem is with the drivers side! This is a safety problem and a recall should be issued!!!!It is no longer under warranty & out of pocket cost may be $600 to $1000!

Summary

The rear lights on my vehicle - including brake lights - intermittently stop working. I was unaware of this issue until I had someone follow me to my destination to make me aware. This is extremely dangerous that could lead to a wreck with the potential of bodily injury. GMC has issued a service bulletin (admitting to using faulty parts) related to this problem, however, they have limited the coverage to mileage and year. GMC should be required to issue a full recall on any vehicle impacted by this serious safety concern.

Summary

The Trailer Brake System has become inoperative on my 2016 GMC Yukon. . A random, constant and repetitive Service "Trailer Brake System" warning makes constant, persistent, repetitive and abrupt dashboard visual illuminations and abrupt audio disruptions while driving. This causes constant driver distractions and the inability to hear traffic and other warnings when the chiming audio warnings go off over and over. Additionally, the Trailer brake system is not functioning and other potential issues may exist. I have learned that NHTSA and GM are aware of this specific Trailer Brake System issue but have not provided a remedy for this known Manufacturers defect with the wiring harness. These disruptions prevent our family while driving from hearing other vehicle warnings (turn signal, rear collision, lane departure, lane assist, forward collision) and I am unable to make phone calls as well during these constant disruptions and also the inability to read the digital read out of my speed during these constant disruptions.

Summary

GMC has a bulletin “recall” that stated that the tail lights of their vehicles were not illuminating on vehicles. In 2019 we took our vehicle in to have the defect covered because our passenger tail light stopped working. We are now having the same issue with our driver light but they are stating that the recall only covered one light with knowledge that both lights are defective. Only one light was replaced. They also had a recall on a defective air compressor that we paid $580 for but because of mileage it was not covered. I spoke with a rep by the name of Angellica in the complaint department that confirmed that the letters regarding the air compressors were sent in November of 2017 and I did not receive that notice during that time. I purchased the vehicle in April of 2017. If any part of a vehicle is defective, or poorly made coverage should not end and defective parts should be replaced. We are looking to be reimbursed for repairs and coverage provided for the second light on our vehicle. GM refuses to resolve this issue and is placing my family in danger with defective parts on this vehicle. I am looking for this to be resolved as soon as possible. This is poor business and the quality of this vehicle that is 5 years old is poor. Attached you will see the invoice from the dealer states that the wiring is bad but coverage was expired due to mileage. If defective parts are in a vehicle there should not be a limitation on getting them replaced. GM made this mistake and it needs to be corrected.

Summary

My 2016 Yukon Denali passenger brake light has stopped working. I see there are many other complaints identifying the same issue - question why hasn't GMC issued a recall for a known problem. With the circuit board breaking this is obviously a manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed and is most definitely a safety issue and increases the odds of being rear-ended as a result of inoperative brake lights. Fortunately I had a stranger stop me in a store parking lot to let me know the brake light was out. The repair is $800 at the dealer!

I SEE ALMOST 200 COMPLAINTS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE? NOT SURE THE POINT OF THIS WEBSITE, BUT, I'M GOING TO PUT MY 2 CENTS IN. MY 2016 YUKON DENALI PASSANGER BRAKE LIGHT HAS GONE OUT, LIKE MANY, MANY OF OTHER PEOPLE. WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. AFTER MANY VIDEOS I HAVE WATCHED I SEE THAT THE CIRCIT BOARD COMES APART AND CAN'T BE REPAIRED BUT ONLY REPLACED, AT A EXTREMLY HIGH PRICE. I'VE ALSO SEEN MANY TAIL LIGHT ON THESE YUKONS WORK OFF AND ON, SO, RANDOMLY THEY CAN NOT WORK AT ANY TIME AND POSSIBLY GET YOU REAR ENDED. HOW DO I FILE A CIVIL ACTION COMPLAINT TO HAVE GMC ADDRESS THIS COMPLAINT AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE? PLEASE ADVISE.

THIRD TIME THE LED CIRCUIT BOARD LED LIGHTS ON REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS SHORTED OUT AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. GMC IS WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE ON THE YUKONS AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. INDIVIDUAL BRAKELIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD OF LED BULBS CANNOT BE CHANGED OUT BECAUSE IT IS PLASTIC WELDED AND SEALED INTO THE TAIL LIGHT, COSTING $600.00 TO REPAIR EACH TIME IT SHORTS OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT KEEP HAPPENING. THERE ARE FOLKS DRIVING W/O FUNCTIONAL BRAKELIGHTS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD THE COST AND FREQUENCY IF REPAIR. IT IS A POORLY MADE ENGINEERING FLAW BY GM THAT DEALER ADMITS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING INTO LIGHT AND SHORTING CIRCUIT BOARD. BRAKELIGHT WILL NOT WORK WHEN STATIONARY OR WHEN IN ANY MOTION.

Summary

VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND JERK UPON ACCELERATION AT 30K. DEALERSHIP CHANGED FLUID. AT 60K VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHUDDER AND JERK UPON ACCELERATION AND LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD ALTHOUGH BRAKE WAS DEPRESSED. INITIAL, BRIEF DIAGNOSES REVEALS A BAD TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED IN 4 TSB. TSB ID #PIP5337K, TSB ID #PIP5337F, TSB ID #16-NA-014, AND TSB ID #PIP5337H. NOW THAT MY FACTORY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, GM MAINTAINS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM-- ALTHOUGH THEY SAW IT WHILE COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE IS A CURRENT CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WITH GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THE SHUDDERING, SHAKING, JERKING AND HESITATION IS RELATED TO INTERNAL ISSUES WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR TORQUE CONVERTER CAUSING FRICTION SURFACES, HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS, AND GEARS TO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY, AND RESULTING IN METAL SHAVINGS BEING CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE TRANSMISSION. OVER TIME, DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION AND TORQUE CONVERTER OCCURS. CONSUMERS FACE ESCALATING REPAIRS THAT CAN INCLUDE FLUSHING THE TRANSMISSION OF METAL SHAVINGS CAUSED BY THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION OPERATION, AND WHICH EVENTUALLY NECESSITATE THE REPLACEMENT OF COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE TORQUE CONVERTER, VALVE BODY, OR THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION. AS SUCH, THE TRANSMISSION DEFECT ENDANGERS THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS OF THE VEHICLES, AND DIMINISHES THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLES. FURTHERMORE, THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT METAL SHAVINGS DUE TO FRICITON COULD HAVE PASSED THROUGH THE SYSTEM CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE BUT WILL NOT REMOVE THE TRANSMISSION FOR FULL AND THROROUGH DIAGNOSES.

THE REAR TAIL LAMPS SPORADICALLY WOULD LIGHT UP WITH DRIVING LIGHTS FOR AWHILE, BUT COULD NEVER GET FAILURE TO SHOW UP FOR DEALER DIAGNOSIS. FINALLY LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY EXCEPT FOR SIDE MARKER. WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK, CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. DEALER WAS THEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSIS AND FOUND SHORT IN LED LIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLIES HAS GONE BAD AND BOTH LIGHTS WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. LAMPS WERE REPLACED UNDER 80/20 WARRANTY OFFER. TOTAL OUT OF POCKET COST TO ME/CONSUMER: $492.75. I FEEL THIS IS SAFETY ISSUE ON NEWER MODEL VEHICLE AND LIGHTS SERVICE LIFE SHOULD BE MUCH LONGER THAN 4 YEARS. ESPECIALLY SINCE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE FOR 4 WEEKS BECAUSE OF CONCERN WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS, NO REAR LIGHTS AT DARK AND CHANCE OF BEING STOPPED FOR A TRAFFIC INFRACTION.

Summary

WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM PITTSBURG, PA TO MARYLAND AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING WHEN WE STOPPED IN KENT ISLAND AT CHICK FIL A. THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING COMPLETELY AND WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AS WE WERE TURNING INTO THE DRIVE THRU. WE HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GMC DEALERSHIP IN EASTON, MD. UPON THEIR EVALUATION OF THE VEHICLE, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART AND DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I ASKED HOW AND WHY THE TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART, THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE ENTIRE ENGINE APART TO FIGURE THAT OUT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE GMC DEALERSHIP THAT OUR 2016 GMC YUKON XL NOW NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2015 (BRAND NEW). BECAUSE OUR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES, IT WAS NOT COVERED. THE NEW TRANSMISSION COSTS US $5300+. WE WERE SHOCKED THAT THIS TOOK PLACE, AS THIS WAS PURCHASED NEW AND WE HAVE KEPT UP ON ALL THE MAINTENANCE. IT IS VERY DISTURBING TO HAVE PURCHASED A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR GMC. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND A REFUND SHOULD BE ISSUED TO THOSE WHO HAVE PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS EXPENSE. I DO THANK THE GMC DEALERSHIP IN EASTON, MD FOR QUICKLY REPAIRING OUR VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE HAD AN UPCOMING TRIP. LADONNA WAS WONDERFUL AND I COMMEND HER AND THE ENTIRE DEALERSHIP FOR HANDLING THINGS SWIFTLY.

RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2016 YUKON XL, DUE TO BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAULTY. HOWEVER MCGRATH AUTO IN CEDAR RAPIDS, IA RESOLVE TO THIS RECALL WAS TO SIMPLY REPROGRAM THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. THIS WAS COMPLETED 12/19. BY 2/20 MY BRAKES WERE REQUIRING ME TO PUSH HARDER AND AT TIMES SOUNDED LIKE THEY WERE SKIPPING AND BRAKING FELT DELAYED. I ALSO WAS HEARING A SQUEAK/CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM WHAT SEEMS THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE ENGINE AREA. DUE TO QUARANTINE I WAS NOT DRIVING OR GOING PLACES BUT ONCE OUR STATE RE-OPENED I CALLED THIS DEALERSHIP TO REPORT THE BRAKE CONCERN AND SCHEDULED APPT. A DAY BEFORE APPT, WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AS I MOVED FORWARD IN A VERY SLOW CRAWL MY BRAKES FAILED ME AND I COULD NOT STOP. I BUMPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WHICH RESULTED IN DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. I REPORTED THIS TO MCGRATH AS I WAS SCARED IMMENSELY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE. DURING THE SERVICE APPT 6/11/20 MY CAR WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THE VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD I WAS STILL WITHIN THE WARRANTY . HOWEVER THEY REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES AND CLAIMED TO RECALIBRATE. ON 6/25 WHILE IN COLORADO BRAKE, ABS AND CAL LIGHTS LIT UP, THE STEERING WHEEL POWER WAS GONE, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM ILLUMINATE, (NEVER EVEN TOWED A TRAILER) CALLED MCGRATH FROM COLORADO AS I COULDN'T DRIVE MY CAR, I EXPLAINED WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THEIR RESOLVE WAS TO GOOGLE GMC DEALERSHIP IN AREA FOR ME. I FOUND MY OWN IN CADILLAC/GMC DEALERSHIP IN BOULDER. MY CHILDREN AND I ARE WITHOUT A VEHICLE WHILE OUT OF STATE. DEALERSHIP IN BOULDER DIAGNOSED MY VEHICLE WITH FAULTY ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. I AM FURIOUS AS THEY SAY IT WILL NOT BE COVERED THROUGH WARRANTY. MY 2016 YUKON IS IN IMPECCABLE CONDITION, ISSUES ALL HAPPENED UPON RECALL WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES. MY EXPERIENCE IS EXACTLY WHAT IS BEING REPORTED BY OTHERS IMPACTED BY THIS RECALL. *TR

Summary

PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT IS OUT AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE HAZARDOUS WHEN OPERATING VEHICLE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND A LAW THAT EVERY MOTOR VEHICLE SHALL BE EQUIPPED WITH AT LEAST TWO WORKING TAIL LAMPS. GM HAS MANUFACTURED INADEQUATE AND FAULTY PARTS THAT ONE DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE LAW THAT VEHICLES SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH AT LEAST 2 WORKING TAIL LAMP AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO THE CUSTOMERS WHOSE VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE REPORTED CONCERN BUT GM HAS FAILED TO FIND RESOLUTION FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AND WILL ONLY BE REPLACED BY GM UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE WHICH HAS EXPIRED IN MOST 2015-2016 VEHICLES. DEFECTIVE PARTS NEED TO BE RE-CALLED FOR THE 2015-2016 YUKON VEHICLES AND REPLACED BY PRODUCTS THAT ARE SAFER AND NON HAZARDOUS TO CUSTOMERS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Summary

MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL WORK ONE MINUTE AND GO OUT THE NEXT. I HAD A FRIEND AND MY HUSBAND TELL ME THAT WHEN THEY WERE FOLLOWING ME THE LIGHT WAS OUT WHEN I STOPPED BUT AT THE NEXT STOP OR AT HOME IT WOULD WORK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. LAST WEEK I TOOK IT FOR STATE INSPECTION AND THE INSPECTOR SAID IT WAS OUT I HAD TO GET IT REPLACED. WHEN I PULLED FORWARD IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN TO PASS INSPECTION. TODAY I TOOK MY YUKON TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN. OTHERS WAITING TOLD ME THIS IS A RECALL ON OTHER YEAR/MODELS WITH GMC. THERE IS A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT PANEL.

Summary

MY CAR HAS 60,000 MI ON A 2016. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT ON PASSENGER SIDE AND I AM BEING TOLD BY DEALER I HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY- NOT JUST A BULB. ESTIMATED COST IS $800.00 FOR ONE SIDE. IN RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNCOMMON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR WHAT SHOULD BE THE COST OF A BULB.

Summary

BOTH OF MY LED TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED OVER THE PAS YEAR. GMC HAS REPLACED THAT OEM WITH NEW PARTS AND HAS MD THE OLD PARTS. GENERALLY, IF A BREAK LIGHT FAILS YOU CAN REPLACE THE BULB FOR AROUND $5 BUT WHEN THESE ASSEMBLIES FAIL IT COSTS THE OWNER AROUND $700 TO REPLACE. DRIVING AROUND WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS IS A TRAFFIC VIOLATION. A CAR CAN NOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS SO THE OWNER IS FORCED TO PAY THE MONEY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PART FROM WHICH GMC PROFITS.. WHY IS THIS NOT A SAFETY RECALL? GMC KNOWS IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS A RESULT.WHAT IS THE NHTSA STAND ON THIS?

Summary

I ASKED MY MECHANIC TO CHECK THE ROUGH RIDE ON MY TRUCK WHEN HE SERVICED THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THE FRONT STRUTS WERE LOCKING UP AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO MY DEALER. MY DEALER SAID THEY WERE LOCKED UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE STRUTS FOR APPROX. $2000. THEY SAY THEY HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM BUT THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK AND THEY OFFER A LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAS VIRTUALLY NO FRONT SUSPENSION AND WHEN CHECKING DIFFERENT BLOGS ON LINE THERE APPEAR TO BE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE STRUTS LOCKING UP. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE RIDE IS AS IF THERE WAS NO SUSPENSION. TRUCK HAS 52,000 MILES AND I'VE NEVER REPLACED SHOCKS (OR STRUTS) WITH THAT KIND OF MILEAGE. IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE BY THE DAY. I THINK GM HAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE STRUTS AND I THINK IT'S DANGEROUS WITHOUT SUSPENSION MOVEMENT.

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK FROM GILROY CHEVROLET IN SEPTEMBER 2019. THE WEEK WE BOUGHT IT MY HUSBAND HAD TO CHANGE THE BREAKS AS THEY NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. SHORTLY AFTER WITHIN A WEEK FROM THAT WE STARTED HEARING A POPPING SOUND FROM THE LEFT FRONT PART OF THE TRUCK. SOMEWHERE NEAR THE AXEL OR TIRE BARING. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND STATED THEY HAD SOLD ME A CAR WITH NO BREAKS AND WITH THIS MYSTERIOUS NOISE. THEY DIAGNOSED THE CAR, CHARGED ME AND DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM I DIDN'T EVEN GET REIMBURSED OR AN APOLOGY FOR BEING SOLD A CAR THAT HAD NO BREAKS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO A NEW DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS. WHERE THEY ARE ASKING ME TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND DEDUCTIBLE I FEEL THE ORIGINAL DEALER WHO SOLD ME THIS DEFECTIVE CAR SHOULD HAVE TO PAY SINCE I HAVE PAID THESE DUE ONCE ALREADY. ANY TIME THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED ALL THE WAY YOU FEEL AND HEAR THE POPPING NOISE.

Summary

WATER LEAKED INTO THE VEHICLE'S ROOF MOUNTED ANTENNA. THIS CONDITION PREVENTED THE VEHICLE'S ONSTAR SYSTEM FROM ACCURATELY DETERMINING THE VEHICLE'S LOCATION; DISABLED THE VEHICLE'S COMPASS, NAVIGATION, AND XM RADIO SYSTEMS; ILLUMINATED THE VEHICLE'S RED ONSTAR INDICATOR; AND ALLOWED WATER INTO THE INTERIOR DRIVER COMPARTMENT. THIS CONDITION OCCURRED IN BOTH THE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION STATES. GM ISSUED PRODUCT BULLETIN # 15155 FOR 2015 MODEL YEAR FOR THE SAME ISSUE, BUT DID NOT CORRECT FOR 2016 MODEL YEAR. ISSUE RELATED TO REPLACEMENT OF PART # 23258460. THIS PART WAS REDESIGNED FOR 2017 MODEL YEAR TO ELIMINATE THE DESIGN DEFECT BY RELOCATING THE MOISTURE WEEP HOLE ON THE BASE GASKET FROM THE REAR TO THE FRONT TO ACCOMMODATE THE ROOF SLOPE.

Summary

MY COMPLAINT RELATES TO A KNOWN DEFECT IN 2015-18 GMC YUKON (AND SIMILAR GM MODELS) AND DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHTS. THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT IN MY 2016 GMC YUKON WENT OUT IN APPROX EARLY 2019. IT WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. IN NOVEMBER 2019, BY RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE EARLY BROKEN LIGHT. I HAD LESS THAN 36,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I LEASED THE VEHICLE IN APPROX SEPT 2016 AND THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PAST (LESS THAN 75 DAYS) EXPIRATION OF THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY. SO, THE DEALER QUOTED ME $950+/- DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING. THE DEALER REP EXPLAINED THAT THE ENTIRE HOUSING HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LED AND DIDN'T USE A BULB. THE DEALER REP TOLD ME THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I WAS INCENSED AND REFUSED TO PAY. I WENT HOME AND GOOGLED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS PERVASIVE WITH THE 2015-18 YUKON AND OTHER SIMILAR GM PRODUCTS. I ALSO FOUND A FIX THAT WAS MUCH LESS MONEY ONLY REQUIRED ABOUT 2 HOURS OF MY TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY DEFECT AND, BASED ON THE DEALER REP COMMENT AND GOOGLE RESEARCH, IT IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM.

WE HAVE HAD OUR 2016 YUKON XL FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. LAST YEAR WE STARTED EXPERIENCING EPISODES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT DOWN INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WITH P0090 AND P0091 AS THE FAULT CODES. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALER, BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO IT CLEARS AND LEAVES NO TRACE OF AN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND RECENTLY SHIFTED INTO REDUCED POWER LEAVING US ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE 35 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY IN MARYLAND WITH CARS FLYING AROUND US AT ~80 MILES PER HOUR. WE HAD ALL OF OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WERE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE. THE REDUCED POWER MADE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER SAFELY. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A NEW GMC SIERRA THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUE. HE DROPPED IT OFF AT HIS DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS AND RETURNED IT FINDING ANY ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALL IT WILL TAKE IS SOMEONE DYING TO TURN IT INTO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.

LEFT TAILLIGHT WENT OUT AND I WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY AND THE DEALER REPLACED IT BUT HAD THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT GO OUT AT 40,000 MILES. I HAVE REFERRED 4 FRIENDS THAT PURCHASED THE SAME VEHICLE AS US AND HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC AND THEY NEED TO RECALL THIS.

Summary

LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHT FAILED IN APRIL, 2019, DEALER ESTIMATE TO REPLACE, $709.86, AFTER SOME HEATED DISCUSSION, "WARRANTY FROM GMC REDUCED THE BILL TO $186. 49,326 MILES WHEN LIGHT REPLACED. 15 SEPTEMBER 2019, MILEAGE 54,290, THE RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT FAILED AND WAS ORDERED BY DEALER, ESTIMATE TO REPAIR $709.86, PART DID NOT COME IN IN 30 DAYS, SO I CALLED GMC TECH ASSIST SERVICE (866-790-5600 AND SPOKE WITH "CHRIS" WHO OPENED A CASE #[XXX]. THIS WAS PASSED TO GMC'S JESSICA AT (866-790-5600 EXT.[XXX]. CONTACTING HER PROVED DIFFICULT AND THE PART STILL DID NOT SHOW UP. FINALLY, ON 18 NOVEMBER, 2019 THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID THEY HAD THE PART AND INSTALLED IT ON 19 NOVEMBER, 2019, VEHICLE MILAGE NOW 59,061. DEALER CHARGED $418.00. FOR THE LIGHT AND WORK SHOWING A TOTAL COST OF $709.86 AND MY REPAIR COST "COPAY" BEING $418.00 WITH THE GMC WARRANTY SUPPOSEDLY PICKING UP THE DIFFERENCE. TWO MORE ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT "[XXX]", 22 NOV. @ 12:30 P.M., AND 26 NOV. @ 1425 GOT NO RESPONSE. FINALLY CONTACTED HER ON 02 DEC. AND SHE WAS UNAWARE THE PART HAD SHIPPED BUT FOUND THE RECORD AND SAID THAT THE FROM $709.86 TO $418.00 WAS THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO AND THAT I HAD NO RECOURSE. SHE DID OFFER TO HAVE HER SUPERVISOR CALL ME AND SAID SHE WOULD RECORD MY DISLIKE OF THE SETTLEMENT. SHE COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO EXPLAIN WHY THERE WAS SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN THE PRICE BETWEEN THE LIGHTS OR THE AMOUNT THAT THE GMC WARRANTY WOULD COVER. LOOKING ONLINE, I NOTE THAT HAVE BEEN MANY THOUSAND OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS FROM THE 2015 THROUGH THE CURRENT 2019 GMC DENALI AND YUKON MODEL VEHICLES. SHOULD GMC NOT PUT OUT A SAFETY RECALL FOR THESE FAILED BRAKE LIGHTS? THERE IS NO INDICATION IN THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT THAT THEY ARE OUT. IF NOT POSSIBLE, ARE THEY COVERED UNDER A "LEMON LAW" OR IS THIS JUST ANOTHER CASE OF GMC HAS GOT YOU?

I PURCHASED MY 2016 YUKON XL DENALI USED WITH 40K MILES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THEN A WEEK AND HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE TELL ME THAT I HAVE A BRAKE LIGHT OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, BUT EVERY TIME I STOP AND HAVE IT LOOKED AT ITS WORKING JUST FINE. THE COST TO REPLACE IT IS APPROXIMATELY $700 FOR EACH ASSEMBLY. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I'M AFRAID THAT I MIGHT BE REAR ENDED BECAUSE THE LIGHTS DECIDE NOT TO WORK AT THAT MOMENT.

Summary

VEHICLE WAS UNDER RECALL AND SERVICE WAS COMPLETED AT GM DEALER MID OCTOBER. FOLLOWING RECALL FOR BRAKE VACUM PUMP AND NEW COMPUTER PROGRAM, I LOST MY BRAKES ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AT SLOW SPEEDS IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER AND AFTER TWO DAYS OF TESTING VEHICLE WOULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE OR PROVIDE A CODE. DEALER RETURNED VEHICLE. THAT DAY 11/05/2019 BRAKE FAILURE OCCURED ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON GRADE. UPON CONTACT WITH DEALER ADVISED THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER UNTIL A CODE WAS PROVIDED. IF I WISHED TO REPLACE THE EBC VACUM PUMP IT WOULD BE OUT OF POCKET. VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN DAILY UNTIL ANOTHER APPOINTMENT CAN BE MADE. ON 11/13/2019 BRAKE FAILURE OCCURED AGAIN ON TWO OCCASIONS. WHEN FAILURE OCCURS PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND WHAT SOUNDS LIKE ABS NOISE IS ACTIVE WITH A PULSATION IN THE PEDAL. VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP AND HAVE TO USE E-BRAKE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AS BRAKING DISTANCE IS DRAMATICLY REDUCED. A FOLLOW-UP APPOINT WILL BE MADE WITH GM DEALER AGAIN.

AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP WHEN GETTING THE BRAKE RECALL UPDATED WITHIN 48HRS MY TRANSMISSION STARTS SHUDDERING! NEVER HAD A SINGLE PROBLEM UNTIL THE RECALL WAS UPDATED! WAS TOLD THERE IS ONLY A FLUID FLUSHING AVAILABLE FOR THE 8CYL TRANSMISSION NOT THE 6CYL! WAS TOLD THAT I WAS OUT OF MY POWER TRAIN AT 82K MILES AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE TOURQUE CONVERTER OR BY A NEW TRANSMISSION! PLUS WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TILL AFTER JANUARY 2020 BECAUSE THEY ARE BACKED UP FROM OTHER VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME ISSUES! THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THE 8CYL BUT NOTHING FOR THE 6! WHY? I LOVE MY CAR AND YOU WOULD THINK AT 70K IT WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND GM WOULD BACK THEIR PRODUCT! I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE MAKERS OF GM AND WITH THE ISSUES I'M LOOKING AT WITH NO RELIEF IN SIGHT I WOULD BE BETTER OFF TRADING FOR A FORD OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN GM! I'M REALLY HOPING THAT IS NOT THE CASE AND GM WILL OFFER A FIX FOR THESE ISSUES!

Summary

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR ROAD AND A PERSON PULLED NEXT TO HER AT A STOP TO TELL HER THAT HER BRAKE LIGHTS WERE WORKING ONLY PART OF THE TIME. GM HAD JUST SERVICED MY VEHICLE AND DIDN'T CATCH IT, AND UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT IS A KNOWN FAULTY DESIGN OF THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE LED BRAKE LIGHT STARTS INTERMITTENTLY FAILING AT THE 2 YEAR POINT, LEADING TO DRIVERS FOLLOWING DRIVERS TO NOT KNOW THAT THE LEADING VEHICLE IS STOPPING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND THE ONLY RESPONSE FROM GM IS TO MAKE THE CUSTOMER BUY A NEW $700 BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE ISSUE IS SO COMMON THAT MULTIPLE COMPANIES HAVE STARTED BRAKE LIGHT REPAIR SERVICES AND MULTIPLE YOUTUBE VIDEOS EXIST TO WALK INDIVIDUALS THROUGH THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THEIR OWN BRAKE LIGHTS. THE COST OF THE REPAIR IS SO STEEP THAT I HESITATE TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, AND THOUGH GM REPORTEDLY HAS DEVELOPED A REPLACEMENT LIGHT ASSEMBLY THAT CORRECTS THE FAULT, THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLE THAT THESE VEHICLES COME OFF THE ASSEMBLY LINE WITH. THE MAJOR DANGER IS THAT WE DRIVE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND LIKELY DO NOT KNOW OUR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY FAILING--SINCE GM CANNOT EVEN CATCH THIS WHEN THEY DO SERVICE ON VEHICLES (MINE HAD BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THE BRAKE ISSUE), THEN THEY ARE LEAVING A LOT OF CUSTOMERS DRIVING WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS TO AVOID THE COST OF THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THEY APPROVED A FAULTY DESIGN.

Summary

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE HAVE BEEN HEARING THIS CLICKING SOUND IN OUR 2016 GMC YUKON XL. ADDITIONALLY, WE HAD EXPERIENCED OCCASIONAL TIMES WHERE THE VEHICLES BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY MOSTLY IN SLOWER SPEED SITUATIONS. IN THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS, THE SHORT RANGE BRAKING WAS HINDERED AGAIN AS THE BREAK WOULD 'STICK' AND NOT SLOW THE CAR. SEVERAL CLOSE INSTANCES OF HITTING EITHER ANOTHER CAR OR FAMILY MEMBER. I THEN LOOKED UP ON NHTSA IF ANY RECALLS, AND I NOTICED A RECALL WHICH DESCRIBED EXACTLY WHAT WE HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND THEY TOLD MY WIFE IT WAS FIXED AND SENT HER ON HER WAY TO PICK UP MY 5 CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL. A FEW HOURS LATER, THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T BREAK AND MY WIFE CALLED ME TO ACTUALLY GO TO THE LOCATION ON MY CHILD'S PRACTICE SO I COULD DRIVE IT HOME AS SHE DIDN'T TRUST THE VEHICLE ANY LONGER. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY. UPON THEIR INSPECTION, THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY AND WOULD COST $500 TO FIX. THEN I STARTED TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER, AND TO MY SURPRISE, THERE APPEARS TO BE A LONG STANDING ISSUE WITH 2014-16 GM VEHICLES THAT HAVE HAD FAULTY VACUUM PUMPS. HOWEVER, THESE HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. THE REVIEW ALSO LED ME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CLICKING SOUND WE WOULD HEAR APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THIS FAULTY PART. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, MY MILES ARE BEYOND THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT THIS HAS BEEN A PERSISTENT ISSUE FOR A LONG TIME. BASICALLY, IT FEELS AS IF MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WAS SECONDARY WHILE THIS KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE VACUUM PUMP REMAINED 'SILENT'. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAFETY, DEPENDABILITY, AND PLANNED TO USE IT UP TO 200,000+ MILES. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT A SAFETY ISSUE LIKE THE BRAKES WOULD EFFECTIVELY BE UNDISCLOSED TO ME AS A CAR OWNER. I AM HOPEFUL GM WILL DO ALL THAT IS NECESSARY TO RECTIFY OUR DISCOMFORT AND LACK OF TRUST.

LEFT REAR LED BRAKE/TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT AT APPROXIMATELY 43,000 MILES. IN DOING RESEARCH THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN GMC YUKON. IT SEEMS TO BE JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRES AS MINE DID. THE COST TO REPLACE IS ANYWHERE AROUND $800.00. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GET IT REPLACED AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. RESEARCH ALSO SAYS THESE LED'S SHOULD BE LASTING MUCH LONGER THAN THEY ARE ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I FEEL WITH THE NUMBERS SO HIGH GMC REALLY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO A RECALL AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED OR HELP COMPENSATE SOME OF THE COST. ALSO, THIS PART IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE SO WE GO WEEKS WITH NO BRAKE OR TAIL LIGHT UNTIL IT CAN BE REPAIRED. THIS IS SO NOT SAFE!!

Summary

I HAD THE RECALL (N192268490) APPLIED TO MY YUKON ON 12 SEP. I ONLY EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL 2X PRIOR TO THE RECALL. SINCE THE RECALL I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS MUCH WORSE THAN THAN THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. TONIGHT THE BRAKES WERE SO BAD I OVER SHOT MY PARKING SPOT AND DROVE INTO SOME BUSHES. IF A HARD STRUCTURE WAS THERE I WOULD HAVE DAMAGED THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS REPEATABLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE "GRADE BREAKING ON" LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE BREAK PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND SHUTTERED. I EMPHASIZE THIS IS NEW SINCE THE RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED.

Summary

VEHICLE SHAKES/VIBRATES ABOVE 35 MPH. WHEN VEHICLE ACCELERATES ABOVE 35 MPH THE THE STEERING WILL VIBRATE WITH A FEELING THAT THE SUSPENSION IS SHIMMYING/SHUDDERING RAPIDLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD ON AN INCLINE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. AS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES UP THE INCLINE, WHEN APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IS ATTAINED, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WILL STEADILY SHUDDER/VIBRATE. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY VIBRATE IN THE FRONT END AND IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS OCCURS WITH BRAND NEW TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND RE-BALANCED TO CONFIRM IT IS NOT TIRE RELATED.

THE FRONT COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I CAN SET A 1-3 BAR ALERT ON THE STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER IN THE 3 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE CAR AND TRYING DIFFERENT MANEUVERS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, I DON'T GET A AN AUDIBLE NOR VISUAL RED LIGHT WARNING THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED ON A NEWER CHEVY IMPALA I DRIVE. THE DASH INFO CENTER BELOW THE GAUGES WILL CHANGE FROM A GREEN SEMI-CIRCULAR 3 BAR SYSTEM TO A YELLOW IF I COME WITHIN THE 3 CAR LENGTHS SET OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE USING GOOGLE AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SAY DIFFERENT GMC MODELS WITH THIS SYSTEM ALL BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY. EVERYONE USES THE YOU TUBE VIDEO BY GM AS THE EXAMPLE OF HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. NOTE, MY WINDSHIELD NEXT TO THE REARVIEW MIRROR IS CLEAN, SO THE SENSORS ARE NOT IMPEDED. TO ME, SETTING THE SYSTEM TO THE MAXIMUM FORWARD DISTANCE TO AVOID A COLLISION GIVES YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT COULD EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESIGNED.

Summary

BRAKE LIGHTS & TORQUE CONVERTER 2016 YUKON DENALI. THE BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND IT IS WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF THE WARRANTY EXPIRING. THEY HAD TO ORDER THE PART BECAUSE THERE'S A NATIONAL BACKORDER FOR THE ASSEMBLY. SO CLEARLY I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. DID SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS APPARENTLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A HASSLE FROM THE START. I'M BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE AS WELL. I HAD A BATTERY ISSUE THAT THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIGURE OUT EVEN AFTER SHOWING THEM THE ONSTAR ALERT. ORIGINALLY I WAS TOLD ONSTAR WAS PROBABLY JUST SENDING IT AS A MILEAGE ALERT. TURNS OUT AFTER I INSISTED THEY PUT THE VEHICLE ON A MACHINE AND IT SHOWED THE BATTERY WAS INDEED FAULTY. MULTIPLE THINGS HAVE GONE OUT ON A VEHICLE WITH BARELY 30,000 MILES ON IT. THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS ALSO A MAJOR CONCERN BECAUSE IT 'SHED' METAL PIECES WITH THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 20,000 MILES THEY ONLY DRAINED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THE BULLETIN TOLD THEM TO DO. HOW IS THIS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN? MY YUKON DROVE LIKE A LAWNMOWER VIBRATING AND HOPPING. THIS IS THE WORST VEHICLE I'VE EVER PURCHASED, AND WITH THE ISSUES THAT KEEP PILING UP IT LOOKS LIKE WE AREN'T ANYWHERE NEAR THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEMS.

PEOPLE KEPT TELLING ME ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT BUT EVERY TIME I'D GET HOME MY TAIL LIGHT WAS ON! THIS KEPT GOING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS UNTIL THIS TIME I CHECKED AND IT WAS OFF. I WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND MENTIONED THE ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS BACK ON. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE SAME CYCLE STARTED. MY FRIEND NOTICED THAT WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP IT WOULD FLICK BACK ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT INFORMED ME IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE VEHICLES AND THE COST TO REPLACE WAS ABOUT $1,000. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE AND NOT FIX. I DECIDED TO LOOK UP AN ALTERNATIVE AND FOUND OUT MANY OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH YUKONS RANGING 2-3 YEARS AS MY VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING IT REPAIRED FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO IT'S BACK TO NOT WORKING AGAIN! FRUSTRATING PART IS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY OTHERS... ON YOUTUBE ALONE THERE ARE SO MANY VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR ON OWN BECAUSE IT'S VERY COSTLY. RECENTLY, I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEIR LIGHT WAS OUT AS WELL. I GUESS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE IT.

THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AS IT INTERFERES WITH TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SUCH A HARD JOLT THAT IT FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDED ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE AFTER I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN AS I WAS PREPARING TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, I WAS PROBABLY GOING AROUND 20MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENED TWICE WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A ROAD, PROBABLY GOING 35 MPH AND JUST FELT A JOLT LIKE SOMETHING KICKED MY CAR FORWARD SUDDENLY. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE JERKING PROBLEM IS RELATED TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, POSSIBLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND CAUSES GEARS NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I'M GOING TO PUT IN MY MOST RECENT DATE THAT THIS HAPPENED ON YOUR FORM BUT IT'S HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE.

Summary

THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE COMPLETELY OUT. THESE ARE ONE SOLID HOUSING AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO SIMPLY FIX THE BRAKE LIGHT. REVERSE AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE OK. THE HOUSINGS COST 600-700 DOLLARS EACH TO REPLACE WHICH IS A LUDICROUS AMOUNT TO HAVE TO SPEND. IN ORDER TO BE WITHIN REGULATIONS FOR INSPECTION, THESE HAVE TO BE WORKING. WE FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE HOUSINGS.

A FEW MONTHS AGO THE DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHT STOPPED WORKING (OR WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY). TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS $850 TO REPAIR. FILED COMPLAINT WITH GMC AND AS I WAS WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THEM THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD WITHOUT WORKING TAILLIGHTS. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. A $65,000 'PROFESSIONAL GRADE' VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE AT 55,000 MILES. GMC NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND RECALL THESE. WILL IT TAKE A FATAL ACCIDENT TO SPUR A RECALL??

IT HAS BEEN OUT FOR MONTHS AND I WAS JUST PROCRASTINATING BECAUSE YOU MUST GO TO A DEALERSHIP SHOP TO GET IT REPLACED.

STARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR AND THE GAUGES DID THEIR REGULAR CHECK SWEEP FROM LEFT-TO-RIGHT, THEN THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS APPEARED ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION DISPLAY SCREEN: 1) SERVICE AIR BAG; 2) SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE, AND; 3) SERVICE FRONT CAMERA. AFTERWARDS, THERE WERE NO GAUGES EXCEPT THE VOLTMETER (TACHOMETER, FUEL, TEMPERATURE, OIL PRESSURE AND SPEEDOMETER WERE ALL AT RESTING POSITIONS). THE DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN WOULD NOT SHOW THE GEAR SELECTOR, THE MILEAGE OR THE SPEED AND THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR THE AIRBAG, EMERGENCY BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL AND TPMS STAYED ON. I DROVE THE VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE AND SHUT IT OFF, RESTARTED, AND IT DID NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. THERE WAS NO OPTION TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE IMMEDIATELY, BECAUSE WE HAD A TRAIN TO CATCH, SO WE HAD TO DRIVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES WITH NO SPEEDOMETER, BUT WE CALLED OUR GMC DEALER AND MADE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR APRIL 22, 2019 ONCE WE PARKED AT THE TRAIN STATION. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED UNTIL APRIL 21, 2019, AND, WHEN STARTED AT THAT TIME, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND DRIVER INFORMATION SCREEN WORKED CORRECTLY. ON APRIL 22, 2019, OUR GMC DEALER (WOODBRIDGE BUICK-GMC) PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTICS AND DISCOVERED A B3980 (NO ENVIRONMENT IDENTIFIER RECEIVED) IN THE HISTORY. ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE ADVISER I SPOKE TO, THIS CODE WILL INVOLVE THE RELAYS FOR THE TRAILER BRAKING AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ALSO; THEY TOLD ME THAT THE BATTERY CABLE WAS LOOSE, SO THEY TIGHTENED THAT AS WELL. OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THIS AND WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS DUE TO OUR MANUFACTURE WARRANTY EXPIRING 2 MONTHS BEFOREHAND. AS OF NOW, THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED AGAIN, BUT IT IS WORTH REPORTING DUE TO POSSIBLY BEING A SAFETY ISSUE.

NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. JUST THE HORRIBLE ROCK HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP PER NAPA JIMMY VASSER CHEVROLET, THAT HAS NOW COST ME $711.00 BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

I WAS ON THE RAMP GOING APPROX. 45-50 MPH ACCELERATING TO BE ABLE TO TURN ONTO THE 70 MPH HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS LIKE A GUN WENT OFF IN MY VEHICLE. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH AS GLASS WAS FALLING ON ME. I SHUT THE INSIDE PROTECTOR AND LOOKED AROUND AND THERE WERE NO PEOPLE, TRUCKS, CARS OR OVERPASS AROUND. THERE IS GLASS ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE PIECES CONTINUED TO FALL THE REST OF MY TRIP. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THE GUY SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF IT. GMC HEADQUARTERS WAS NO HELP EITHER. I HAVE READ THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

Summary

REAR TAIL LIGHT / BRAKE LIGHT QUIT WORKING WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS DENIED COVERED. THE UNIT IS A COMPLETE LED ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE PRICE QUOTED WAS $700 FOR THE ASSEMBLY. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OWNERS WHO SUDDENLY HAVE NO TAIL OR BRAKE LIGHTS ON THEIR NEW/NEWER VEHICLES.

THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED, FIRST TWO TIMES MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING(HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS) AND WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME IT WAS SCARY. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR, NO INJURIES AND NO ONE WAS HURT, THANK GOD. I WAS GOING THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU STOPPED AT THE FIRST WINDOW, ACCELERATED TO NEXT WINDOW (LOW SPEED) AND DIDN'T STOP... IT WAS THE LIKE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, COULDN'T PRESS DOWN AT ALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, SAME THING DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY ISSUES. WELL I GOOGLED IT AND IT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION, SO I KINDLY PRINTED OFF ALL THE ARTICLES SO THEY COULD LET OTHER CUSTOMERS KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE (THEY DIDN'T CARE TO KEEP THAT BUT DID ADMIT THEY KNEW THERE HAD BEEN SOME ISSUES). OF COURSE MY CAR IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY SAID I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ISSUES. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! THEY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR IT AND THANKING THERE LUCKY STARS NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE TOTAL CAME TO $950, THEY ASKED IF I WANTED THEM TO FIX THE PUMP, BELT AND BELT KIT (I ASKED IF THIS WAS THE ISSUE OTHERS WERE HAVING AND HE SAID HE BELIEVES SO). WHAT WAS I GOING TO SAY NO? DID I REALLY HAVE AN OPTION?? THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING!!!! KIND OF A BIG DEAL!! OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE THEM TO PAY ME BACK (THEY DID GIVE ME A CREDIT OF $208) BUT I DO BELIEVE THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

DRIVERSIDE TAIL LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. CAR MILAGE IS IN THE 40,000'S. DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED CONFIRMS " DRIVER REAR TAIL LIGHT SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY. RECOMMEND REPLACING DRIVER TAIL LIGHT. RECOMMEND TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY $899" . MY SISTER HAS A YUKON XL DENALI 2016 AND HAS THE SIMILAR ISSUE BUT BOTH OF HER TAIL LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING POSING A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. DRIVING IN MY AREA I SEE MANY NEWER YUKON XL WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT OUT. LIGHTING IS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND COST TO FIX IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, WHICH COULD MAKE THE AVERAGE DRIVER PUT OFF THE LARGE EXPENSE. THE TAIL LIGHT INTERMITTANTLY STOPS WORKING WHILE THE CAR IS ON, DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. SERVICE REP AT DEALERSHIP STATED THIS PROBLEM IS "COMMON".

DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT, CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. THREE WEEKS LATER PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY FOR THREE HOURS AS PEOPLE HONKED AND ROLLED THEIR WINDOWS DOWN TO LET US KNOW WE DIDN'T HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS. TOOK TO GET FIXED AND THE LIGHTBULBS, WHICH ARE LED AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN TWO YEARS, ARE NOT REPLACEABLE, THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE PURCHASED AT $700 A PIECE. WHEN PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD $1400 BEFORE LABOR THEY WILL DRIVE WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND A RIDICULOUS MANUFACTURING FLAW TO HAVE LIGHT BULBS THAT ARE NOT REPLACEABLE. GMC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

GMC BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE - I OWN A 2016 GMC YUKON XL AND AFTER ABOUT 45,000 MILES THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE STARTED INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING. AFTER HAVING A GMC TECHNICIAN TELL ME THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SEEING HUNDREDS OF OTHERS POSTS ONLINE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.

LED TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. THESE TAIL LIGHTS ON THE 2015 TO PRESENT GMC AND CHEVROLET SUVS HAVE PREMATURE FAILURE. THE COST TO THE PUBLIC FOR THESE LIGHTS ARE AROUND 700$ EACH TO REPLACE. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THE TAILLIGHTS OR HAVE THEM WARRANTED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD FOR DRIVERS AND NOT TO MENTION A POSSIBLE TRAFFIC TICKET COUPLED WITH THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH THE REPLACEMENT; GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE FOR THE SHEAR FACT THAT THEY COST AS MUCH AS A HOUSE PAYMENT JUST TO REPLACE ONE LIGHT.

WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING (DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES) SUCH AS AT A LEFT TURN (WAITING FOR TRAFFIC) OR A DRIVE-THRU WINDOW, THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. IF YOU PRESS REALLY HARD IT WILL USUALLY STOP- BUT IT DEFINITELY ROLLS FORWARD WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT A VACUUM PUMP IS FAULTY BUT THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AS I ALMOST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING IN LINE TO TURN LEFT AT A "LEFT TURN YIELD ON GREEN LIGHT".

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ABSORBING ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE HANDLING WENT FROM SMOOTH TO ROUGH RIDE RESULTING IN INCREASE FOCUS OF DRIVING. REMINDER, THIS IS A 2016 VEHICLE. CONTACTED PRESIDENT OF COMPANY TO NOTIFY OF POTENTIAL DEFECT AS THE CAR ONLY HAD 57,714 MILES. I WAS TURNED OVER TO EXECUTIVE SERVICES WITH MY COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. $910.36 KINDLY INFORMED THEY WERE UNWILLING TO MITIGATE ANY COST AND WARRANTIES DID NOT APPLY. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 2/27/2018. RECENTLY HAD A BATTER FAILURE AND IM NOW CONCERNED OF COST SHAVINGS BY THE MANUFACTURE. I WANT TO NOTIFY ALL CURRENT OWNERS AND FUTURE BUYERS OF THIS MODEL. IT'S CLASSIFIED AS A LUXERY VEHICLE, YET THE MANUFACTURERS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT DOESN'T APPEAR TO SUPPORT THE OVERALL CONSTRUCTION OF THIS MAKE. THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE SHOCKS IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO CAUSE MOMENTARILY DISTRACTION AND A POTENTIAL SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN A STRAIGHTAWAY AND REDUCED SPEED TO A SAFE CONDITION.

Summary

ON 2/28/2018 I HAD JUST LEFT THE AIRPORT IN OAKLAND CA, APPROX 8:00PM. I STOP FOR GAS AT THE CHEVRON STATION ON 98TH AVE, AFTER FUELING, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. REMINDER, THIS IS A 2016 DENALI. I HAD A FEMALE ASSOCIATE WITH ME AND WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT IN SAN FRAMSICO AT 8:30PM. THE CAR HAD LOST ALL POWER AND TWO OTHER PEOPLE HELPED ME PUSH INTO ADJACENT PARKING SPACE. THE AREA IS KNOWN FOR HIGH CRIME, BASICALLY WE WERE EXTREMELY NERVOUS AND STRANDED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO CONTACT AAA AND SET AN APPOINTMENT TO CHECK OUT THE CAR. WE UBERED TO OUR APPOINTMENT. THE FAILURE OF THE BATTERY LEFT US VUNRABLE AND WE BOTH FEARED FOR OUR SAFETY. THE NEXT DAY, THE LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THE BATTERY SHOULD HAVE LASTED A MINIMUM OF SEVEN YEARS. THEY FELT THE BATTERY WASN'T SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE THE ELECTRONICS THAT WERE BUILT INTO THIS CAR. THEREFORE, POTENTIALLY CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH ANY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT HIGHLIGHTS THE POTENTIAL SAFETY IMPLICATIONS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURES DECISION TO REDUCE COST BY INSTALLING A BATTERY WITHOUT THE CAPACITY TO REASONABLY START THE VEHICLE AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS OF USE. I WOULD HOPE ALL OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL ARE NOTIFIED OF THIS POSIBLITY. I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS BEING EXPOSED TO THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU!

Summary

I PURCHASED A 2016 YUKON DENALI BRAND NEW FROM THE DEALER IN OCTOBER 2016. SINCE THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME WAS DUE TO FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR NOT BEING FULLY ALIGNED WITH THE FRONT FENDER. THIS ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED AS THEY SAID IT WOULD "MOST LIKELY MESS THE VEHICLE UP FURTHER". IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 MY YUKON WENT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE INVOLVING THE POWER RUNNING BOARDS NOT DEPLOYING AND CONTROL PANEL NOT ILLUMINATING. THE CONTROL PANEL WAS BLAMED ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WHILE AT THE DEALER THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT "GM PUT OUT THIS SOFTWARE TOO EARLY". IN MAY 2017 THE REAR DVD PLAYER WENT BLANK AND STOPPED WORKING. THESE TWO ISSUES WERE BOTH COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IN NOVEMBER 2017 THE RADIO STARTED TO "FREEZE" AND WOULDN'T CHANGE CHANNELS. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUE AND I NEEDED A NEW HMI ($500) AND WILL NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY AS I NOW HAVE 40,000 MILES. IN DECEMBER 2017 MY YUKON WENT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DUE TO AIR CONDITIONER FAILURE. AFTER REVIEWING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE. APPARENTLY, THERE WAS A SPECIAL BULLETIN THE CONSUMER ISN'T AWARE OF UNTIL IT BREAKS, SO IT WAS ALSO COVERED; HOWEVER THE BLOWER MOTOR ($377) THAT BROKE DUE TO THIS ISSUE WASN'T COVERED. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT WITH A SUPERVISOR. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO DUE TO MY YUKON BEING OUT OF WARRANTY, AND WHEN THEY BUILD THESE VEHICLES "THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG PARTS WILL LAST". IN MY OPINION THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY FOR A $75,000 + VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY 2 YEARS REMOVED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE OWNED 3 GM PRODUCTS (TAHOE, YUKON, AND NOW THIS VEHICLE) AND I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT.

THEY ARE AWARE THAT IS A PROBLEM, BECAUSE FORD AND GM ON THE 2018'S, I WAS TOLD BY THE SALES PERSONS THAT THIS ISSUE WAS FIXED. I AM AWARE OF THE CHEVY TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS MAYBE A SIMILAR SAFETY CONCERN. AS FAR AS I KNOW THE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT JUMPED OUT OF GEAR ON ITS OWN.

I HAVE A 2017 YUKON XL DENALI. IT HAS 6K MILES. I PURCHASED IT NEW JUNE OF 2017.I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT,WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 3 MPH AND THEN I NOTICE THE AC TURNED OFF.THEN I REALIZED THE RPM WAS AT 0 AND WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE ENGINE HAD STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THERE WERE NO CODES STORED ON A CAR I'M TOLD HAS ABOUT A BAZILLION COMPUTERS (IMAGINE THAT) AND THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OR "SERVICE BULLETINS" STATING IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. APPARENTLY IF YOUR GMC SERVICE DEPT CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE...THE CAR IS OBVIOUSLY FINE. I TOLD THEM I'M NOT TAKING THE CAR BACK. THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE USING A LOANER NOR DID THEY HAVE A SIMILAR CAR EVEN AVAILABLE IF THEY WOULD. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CREATE A CASE TO WHICH I DID. AT THIS TIME I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR WHAT GM IS GOING TO DO BUT I'VE HAD TO PERSONALLY PAY FOR A CAR RENTAL BECAUSE I'M NOT WILLING TO DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS EXPERIENCED AND ISSUE AS DRASTIC AS THIS WHICH COULD KILL SOMEONE. HOPEFULLY GM RECOGNIZES THIS AND EITHER WORKS TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM OR TAKE THE CAR BACK TO RUN EXTENSIVE TESTS. I GUESS A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE UNTIL SOMEONE DIES...WHICH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR STALLING ISSUES. IF YOU EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE LIKE THIS, PLEASE CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DO AS I DID AND REFUSE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. I'VE ONLY READ OF A COUPLE OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS ON THE NEW YUKON PLATFORM/BODYSTYLE (2015 AND NEWER). I CAN GUARANTEE THAT GM WILL BE SUED IF I TAKE THIS CAR BACK AND END UP IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. I'M SURE THEY'LL DENY IT BECAUSE THERE ONCE AGAIN...WON'T BE ANY CODES TO TELL THEM THE CARE DIED, SO IT'D PROBABLY ME MY FAULT ANYWAYS.

AS I BACKED OUT, MY BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY AGAIN AND MY CAR ROLLED BACK DOWN MY DRIVE WAY. THE CAR STOPPED AND I PARKED IT WHERE IT WAS. LATER IN THE DAY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR INTO MY GARAGE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO CHESROWN GMC (THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE).

MY GMC DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED MULTIPLE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND HAVE CONCLUDED THAT I HAVE AN INTERNAL ENGINE OIL LEAK, BUT AM WITHIN GMC'S OIL CONSUMPTION STANDARDS. SINCE I AM WITHIN GMC'S OIL CONSUMPTION STANDARDS, THEY CANNOT ADDRESS / REPAIR THE OIL LEAK. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT SINCE THIS MAY RESULT IN FUTURE ENGINE ISSUES / MALFUNCTION. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GMC, CHEVY AND CADILLAC SUV'S / TRUCKS.

THE VEHICLE'S INFOTAINMENT/INTELLILINK SYSTEM BECAME COMPLETELY DYSFUNCTIONAL ON JANUARY 14, 2017, AND SAID CONDITION WAS REPORTED TO GMC'S INFOTAINMENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT VIA TELEPHONE ON THIS DATE (SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER: 8-2666432517). AS GMC'S INFOTAINMENT CUSTOMER SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT ABLE TO ASSIST WITH THE ISSUE, A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 17, 2017 AT AN AUTHORIZED GMC SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIR OF THE INTELLILINK SYSTEM ON JANUARY 17, 2017. THE INTELLILINK SYSTEM WAS NOT REPAIRED OR RENDERED FUNCTIONAL BY GMC AND/OR ITS AUTHORIZED DEALER/SERVICE CENTER ON JANUARY 17, 2017. GMC PERSONNEL HAVE STATED THAT THE NECESSARY PART TO REPAIR THE DISABLED INTELLILINK SYSTEM IS ON BACK ORDER AND COULD TAKE UP TO TEN WEEKS TO BE DELIVERED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DISABLED INTELLILINK SYSTEM AND THE NON-USABILITY OF ITS INTEGRATED SAFETY FEATURES RENDER THE VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR USE.

Summary

FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS STICKING CAUSING PREMATURE WEAR OUT OF PADS AND DRIVER SIDE ROTOR AT ~11900 MILES. AFTER FIRST REPAIR, ~900 MILES AND THREE WEEKS LATER, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SNOW COVERED CITY HILL ABS WAS ENGAGED FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN DASH DISPLAYED A "BRAKE FAILURE" WARNING. AFTER THE MESSAGE THE FRONT BRAKES LOCKED UP COMPLETELY, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND INDUCED A SLIDE OF OVER 1000FT DOWN THE HILL. ONCE THE VEHICLE FINALLY CAME TO A STOP, A LOUD SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE. POWERING DOWN THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP THE SOUND. RESTART OF THE VEHICLE DISPLAYED "SERVICE STABILITRACK" AND "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE" WARNINGS. THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL SLIPPAGE, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO ALL STAYED ILLUMINATED. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALER AS IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. UPON INSPECTION AT GMC DEALER THEY REPORTED THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (EBCM) WAS SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY AND SECOND FRONT ROTOR WAS ALSO SCORED. THEY REPLACED THE EBCM AND ROTOR UNDER WARRANTY. I'M TOLD THE CALIPER STICKING ISSUE IS COMMON, AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST EBCM THEY HAVE REPLACED. IN SUMMARY, DAMAGE TO ROTORS AND PADS IS VERY DANGEROUS. AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ~12000 MILES NO ONE WOULD EXPECT THIS TYPE OF WEAR. THE FAILURE OF THE ABS SYSTEM NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL AS THE VEHICLE WAS DESCENDING A HILL AND AT THE VERY TIME THE ABS WAS NEEDED IT CAUSED LOCK UP OF THE FONT WHEELS INDUCING A SLIDE AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO STEER. *TR

Summary

SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED THIS 2016 GMC YUKON XL DENALI THERE HAS BEEN A VIBRATION IN WHAT I THINK IS THE PASSENGER REAR END. I'VE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES AND EACH TIME THE DEALER AND THE GM REPRESENTATIVE SAY IT IS "WITHIN SPEC." THIS PROBLEM HAS PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE IS NOW ALMOST UN-DRIVABLE DUE TO THE SHAKING. IT AFFECTS THE STEERING WHEEL AT ALL SPEEDS. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS ON ALL TERRAINS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD AS WELL AS WARM/HOT. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES JERK TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT WHEN THE SHAKING GETS REAL BAD. THIS VEHICLE IS BECOMING DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BUT I HAVE TO USE IT. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND WOULD APPRECIATE SOME HELP.

Summary

EXCESSIVE VIBRATION/BUFFETING DRONE ISSUES (AT ALL SPEEDS OF THE VEHICLE) HAVE CAUSED SEVERE HEALTH ISSUES AND SAFETY HAZARDS FROM DRIVING THE VEHICLE. WITHIN THE FIRST 8,000 MILES OF OWNING THE CAR, THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 40 DAYS AS GM TRIES AND REMEDY THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE A FIX. SO FAR, DIAGNOSTIC TESTS INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY BEARING IN THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL THAT LED TO SIGNIFICANT ABNORMAL WEAR THROUGHOUT THE DIFFERENTIAL AND THE DIFFERENTIAL NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. WHEN REBUILDING, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE DISASSEMBLED DIFFERENTIAL HAD HEAVILY SCORED BEARINGS AND METAL SHAVING THROUGHOUT EVERY BEARING. RING GEAR AND PINION HAD IRREGULAR WEAR CAUSING A DRONE IN THE VEHICLE. RACE SURFACES WEAR GROUND AND SCARRED BAD.THE REBUILT DIFFERENTIAL DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE AND NOW AFTER HAVING FOUR NEW TIRES AND ROAD BALANCING, THE PROBLEMS DIDN'T DIMINISH BUT WERE EXACERBATED. AFTER REBUILDING THE DIFFERENTIAL AGAIN, GM HAS NOW DETERMINED THAT THE REAR AXLE MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AND ENGINEERS ARE LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM FURTHER. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND THE CAR HAS A TERRIBLE VIBRATION THAT WORSENS EVERY TIME GM ATTEMPTS TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WELL-DOCUMENTED PROBLEM THAT GM HAS AVOIDED FIXING. WE ADVISE OTHER CONSUMERS TO BE AWARE OF THE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS RELATED TO THE POOR MANUFACTURING OF THE VEHICLE AND INABILITY OF GM TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM.

Summary

MY 2016 YUKON DENALI HAS A VIBRATION PROBLEM, WHICH I BELIEVE IS CAUSED BY THE MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL. THE VIBRATION DOES NOT SPEED UP, NOR SLOW DOWN, DEPENDING ON SPEED. IT IS, HOWEVER, MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THERE IS ANY ROAD IMPERFECTION. THE GMC SERVICE DEPT. HAS BALANCED AND ROTATED TIRES, EVEN SENT IT TO TWO OTHER BUSINESSES TO TRY AND FIX -- ALIGNMENT, ETC. VIBRATION CONTINUES. I'VE HAD PASSENGERS WHO ASK "WHY DOES YOUR CAR HAVE THE SHIVERS?" GM DEALER DID GET AHOLD OF A GMC TECHNICIAN WHO FLEW IN, AND DROVE THE CAR AND SAID -- YES IT HAS A VIBRATION, BUT IT IS IN ACCEPTABLE PARAMETERS. MY DEALER HAS PROVIDED ME 3 DIFFERENT RENTAL CARS WHILE WORKING TO TRY AND FIX THE "SHIVERS" ... ALL THREE WERE FAIRLY NEW, SMALL BUICKS, AND ALL 3 RODE BETTER THAN THIS NEW $75,000 DENALI. I LOVE THE VEHICLE, HATE THE VIBRATION. GMC ITSELF HAS NOW TOLD ME -- YOUR CASE IS CLOSED! THE VIBRATION IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS. THE DEALER HAS LET ME DRIVE TWO OTHER YUKON DENALI'S ... BOTH HAVE SIMILAR VIBRATIONS... JUST NOT AS BAD AS THIS VEHICLE. VIBRATION IS NOTICEABLE AT 25 MPH, AS WELL AS AT 80 MPH; ALTHOUGH IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE ON ROUGHER ROADS. I AM HAPPY TO SHARE THE REPORTS FROM MY LOCAL GM DEALER, WHO COMPLETELY AGREES THAT THE CAR SHIMMIES. WE TRIED THE GMC BUYBACK PROGRAM, AND I WAS TOLD BY GMC THAT PROGRAM IS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME, EVEN THOUGH I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHEN I HAD LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT. AND HAVE BEEN TAKING IT BACK REGULARLY SINCE.

Summary

I LEASED A 2016 YUKON DENALI XL ON 9/15/15. IT HAS TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS. 1. BUFFETING/PRESSURE NOISE - A NOISE AS IF A WINDOW IS CRACKED, EXCEPT IT'S NOT CRACKED. THIS OCCURS AT SPEEDS FROM 24MPH AND UP AND CAUSES EARS TO POP AND IS NOTICEABLE TO VIRTUALLY EVERY PASSENGER I HAVE HAD. 2. WHOLE-TRUCK VIBRATION - OCCURS BETWEEN 70-80MPH IN ENTIRE VEHICLE. WHEEL REPLACEMENTS, TIRE REPLACEMENTS, ROAD-FORCE BALANCING, DRIVESHAFT REPLACEMENT, DRIVESHAFT "BALANCING", ETC....NOTHING HAS FIXED IT. I HAVE DRIVEN 13 2016 YUKON, YUKON XL, TAHOE AND SUBURBANS. EVERY SINGLE ONE HAS THE BUFFETING ISSUES. ALL BUT ONE HAS THE VIBRATION ISSUES. GM HAS ISSUED A PI STATING THAT THE ROOF BOWS MAY HAVE COME DISCONNECTED AND THEY NEED TO BE REATTACHED. THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT REATTACHING THEM DOESN'T FIX THE BUFFETING ISSUE. I HAVE A DATE-STAMPED LOG OF EVERY DEALER VISIT, CONVERSATION, EMAIL, ETC. AND AM GLAD TO SHARE IT. THESE ISSUES ARE RIDICULOUS TO OCCUR IN ANY CAR MUCH LESS A 75K FLAGSHIP CAR THAT PULLS IN 3-7K IN PROFIT FOR GM/DEALERS PER VEHICLE.

Summary

ON 11/13/15, "SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM" MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE SCREEN RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS ISSUE OCCURRED LESS THAN A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE (297 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AT THE TIME THAT THE ISSUE OCCURRED). SPECIFIC ISSUE: WHEN THE TRANSFER CASE WAS SET TO "AUTO" IT AUTOMATICALLY SWITCHED TO THE "4WDLO" SETTING, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOCK-UP SPECIFICALLY WHEN TURNING OR IN REVERSE GEAR. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSFER CASE CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE NEEDED TO BE UPDATED / REFLASHED AND THAT THE ENCODER MOTOR / ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER CONTACTED GM AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ENCODER MOTOR / ACTUATOR WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. THE DEALER RECEIVED AND INSTALLED THE PART ON 12/8/15 (25 DAYS AFTER THE ISSUE OCCURRED). I FORMALLY SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT TO GM ON 11/20/15 (REF # 8-1674527570) SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE.
