My car is not shifting right. I took it into GMC, and they said they corrected it. I have taken in two times for this issue already. Today I almost was in a car accident because the car would not shift properly and it shoved me forward like A car hit me from the back. The car is not shifting properly at all. And now it’s making a muffling sound and it’s like stuck in a gear. I pulled over and I parked and then I reversed and then I went to hit the gas again to try to go slowly and it jolted forward again. This is serious and needs repaie

Summary

2017 GMC Yukon Denali 4WD. Rear passenger brake light intermittently fails while driving Confusing and causing motorists behind my vehicle to receive inconsistent intermittent brake warning lights to alarm other motorists I have stopped. Someone is going to end up slamming into me because of this. It’s a dangerous common failure that needs to be address ASAP. I’m not waiting but GM’s executive corporate office will get the entire bill plus time lost and another BBB review.

Summary

My husband and I were driving down the freeway with our three children when without any warning, we heard a loud explosion and what felt like something hit our vehicle. There were no other cars near by. When we pulled off the freeway into a gas station to look at the vehicle the sunroof had a huge hole in the center. The remaining class attached to the vehicle was all shattered. There was shattered class on the closed shade. We didn't know what happened. It was very traumatizing. We thought someone threw something at us or something had fallen on the vehicle. If the sun shade wasn't closed, glass would have entered the vehicle and could have caused injury to us or our children in the back seats.

Summary

There is a known issue with the GMC strutts leaking. I contacted several GMC dealerships to purchase strutts so that a local mechanic could put fix my truck without the dealership pricing. GMC refuses to sell the parts to anyone other than a dealership. I was informed by several dealerships the part is a national back order for 6 months. The cost that GM is making for each person that purchased a 2017 Denali is between two to four thousand dollars!! While driving my truck myself and my daughter would come out of the seat! This should be a recall. I'm also reporting this to the consumer financial protection bureau. I phoned this in a month ago and have heard nothing.

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS (10-20 MPH), I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY EXPERIENCED "LUNGING" AND "JERKINESS" WITH MY TRANSMISSION FOR OVER 2 YEARS NOW. DESPITE APPROXIMATELY A DOZEN SEPARATE EVALUATIONS AND/OR REPAIRS BY GM-CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO EXIST. I AM TOLD THAT THE ISSUE IS NORMAL AND THAT I MUST LIVE WITH THE ISSUE AS BEING NORMAL. NOT ONLY AM I CONCERNED ABOUT THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE COST, BUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND PASSENGERS SHOULD THE VEHICLE STRIKE AN OBJECT OR PERSON ACCIDENTALLY. ACCORDING TO VARIOUS ONLINE SOURCES, THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF GM OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR ISSUES, AND EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HAS BEEN FILED. HOWEVER, THERE HAS BEEN NO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OR MEANINGFUL RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEMS.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING, MY A/C CLIMATE CONTROL HAS FAILED IN 2017 GMC YUKON (MILAGE 78,734). THIS HAS CAUSED A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN THE WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND I COULDN'T SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH FROM THIS INCIDENT DRIVING ON I270 HERE IN MD. I AM BOTH SHOCKED AND APPALLED THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED AND THAT GM USED LEAKY AIR CONDITIONERS THAT BUCKLE UNDER PRESSURE IN MANY 2014-2017 TRUCKS AND SUVS. WHETHER IT'S BUSTED HOSES OR LEAKY CONDENSORS, THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS LIKE ME ARE UPSET THAT A NATIONWIDE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED TO REPAIR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM. IT'S SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT THERE'S A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS. MANY OF THE ORIGINAL REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE DISCONTINUED TO TO THE DEFECT. SEE TSB PIE0340. ALONG WITH THE ALLEGED PROBLEMS WITH THE COMPRESSOR TO CONDENSER LINES, A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SAYS THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSERS ARE DEFECTIVE BECAUSE THE MATERIALS USED TO MANUFACTURE THE CONDENSERS ARE DEFECTIVE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP TO FIND OUT MY CONDENSER NEEDS REPLACING AND THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY BUT HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THE CONDENSER ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE . HE ALSO AGREED WITH ME THAT IT SHOULD BE A RECALL SINCE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MY DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME $160 JUST TO DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THIS PROBLEM FIRST NOTED IN BULLETIN # PIE0340 DATE: JUL 2015. THEN THEY ESTIMATE REPLACEMENT OF DEFECTIVE PARTS TO BE $2000!! I CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE CASE # 9-6360482931 I ASKED WHY I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM WHEN I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE AND THEY DECLINED TO ANSWER. I WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE HAD I HAVE KNOWN OF THIS SAFETY DEFECT. I RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU HAVE GM ISSUE A RECALL.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND FLASHING, STABILITRACK LIGHT COMES ON, VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH AND EVENTUALLY STALLED OUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN MY 2017 GMC YUKON. ONCE AT ~53K MILES, AGAIN AT ~64K MILES. ONE TIME IT STALLED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME LATE AT NIGHT ON VACATION AND HAD TO BE TOWED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND WE HAD TO STAY IN A HOTEL OUT OF TOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. THE 2ND TIME HAPPENED CLOSER TO HOME BUT HAD TO PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR SINCE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP NO LONGER DOES LOANERS. THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH WHILE DRIVING, LOSES POWER, AND SEEMS TO LOSE CONTROL. IT IS VERY SCARY WHEN IT HAPPENS. HAPPENED IN OCT 2019 AND AGAIN JULY 2020. IT IS THE SAME ISSUE AS DESCRIBED IN N182198000 SPECIAL COVERAGE MEMO (DCS5097) FROM JULY 26, 2019 BUT ISN'T COVERED IN MY STATE YET APPARENTLY.

Summary

IN THE LAST YEAR, BOTH OF THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS HAVE FAILED IN MY 2017 GMC YUKON. TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHTS IT COST +$750 PER TAIL LIGHT FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. I WORK WITH LED LIGHTING AND ON AVERAGE, LED LIGHTS SHOULD LAST FOR 5000 HOURS OF USE. THERE IS NO WAY THAT IN THE LAST 3 YEARS WE HAVE UTILIZED 5000 HOURS OF DRIVE TIME TO WARRANT THAT THESE LED'S SHOULD BE BURNING OUT. I BELIEVE THAT THE LED'S THAT THEY ARE USING ARE DEFECTIVE AND A CASE NEEDS TO BE MADE TO SEE IF GMC IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE REAR TAIL LIGHT LED'S, THE PARTS ARE WAY TOO EXPENSIVE TO BE FAILING AFTER A FEW YEARS OF INTERMITTENT USE. *TR

Summary

VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDLE AT COLD START. ALSO MISFIRES AT STOPLIGHTS AND RANDOM TIMES. VEHICLE STALLED ONCE THIS MORNING COMPLETELY. TOLD BY MY GMC DEALERSHIP THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS FOR OVER $2,000. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH. THE FUEL INJECTORS ARE ON BACK-ORDER CURRENTLY SO I AM UNABLE TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD ANOTHER VEHICLE LIKE MINE AT THAT SERVICE CENTER HAS BEEN WAITING ALREADY FOR 6 WEEKS FOR FUEL INJECTORS AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT AT LEAST ANOTHER MONTH. THIS MEANS I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER MY VEHICLE WITH MY STATE AS IT WILL NOT PASS SMOG INSPECTION WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REGISTER IT DUE TO THE DMV CLOSURE FROM COVID-19. ITS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT CAN STALL AT ANY MOMENT AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIX WITHOUT WAITING FOR PARTS. THESE PARTS ARE OBVIOUSLY ON BACK-ORDER SO LONG BECAUSE THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM NHTSA ( DCS5097 ) WHICH COVERS MY PROBLEM EXACTLY. BUT FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON, SPECIAL COVERAGE ONLY APPLIES TO 13 STATES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAN THOUGHT AND I BELIEVE MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF THOSE AROUND ME IS AT RISK IF I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE AND THOSE LIKE MINE SHOULD BE COVERED BY SPECIAL COVERAGE AS WELL. AND AT THE VERY LEAST THE PARTS TO FIX THIS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE GIVEN THAT ITS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE NOW FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. THESE PARTS HAVE BEEN BACK-ORDERED WAY BEFORE COVID-19 EVEN HIT, SO IT CANNOT BE ATTRIBUTED TO THAT. GM HAS AN OBLIGATION TO KEEP THEIR VEHICLES ON THE ROAD SAFE AND MAINTAINED TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY AND WHEN IT COMES TO THIS ISSUE THEY ARE FAILING TO DO SO. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHT QUIT WORKING TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAD FIXED IT AND HAD NOT. TOOK BACK TO THEM AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T GET ONE IT'S ON BACK ORDER. AFTER LOOKING INTO IT MYSELF IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM THAT GM ISN'T DOING ANYTHING TO FIX BUT PUT THE SAME LIGHTS BACK IN THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN. I'VE ASKED ABOUT AN UPDATED LIGHT THAT WOULDN'T FAIL AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE LIGHTS AT ALL. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIX THE THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

FROM TIME TO TIME THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD WHEN IM STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, CROSSWALK OR A STOP SIGN. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIPS NUMEROUS TIMES BUT GM ONLY WANTS TO PUT BANDAIDS ON THE ISSUE, GM HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION, THEY ONLY HAVE INTERNAL BULLETINS TO THEIR DEALERSHIPS. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS YOU TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN AND THEY WILL DRIVE IT WITH THE CUSTOMER, BUT THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND DOESNT ALWAYS LUNGES, GM IS TRYING TO OUTLAST THE CUSTOMERS HOPING THEY WILL GET TIRED OF DEALING WITH THE ISSUE AND THEY WILL GO AWAY. GM CANNOT AFFORD A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE PROBLEM, SEVERAL DEATHS WILL OCCUR UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE ISSUE HAPPENS ON THE ROADWAYS

THE GMC YUKON MODELS IN ALL TRIMS, HAVE FAULTY LED STRIPS THAT CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL ON THE LEFT, AND RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE FRUSTRATING PART IS IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, AND WHEN IT'S OFF A SLIGHT TAP WILL MOMENTARILY BRING IT BACK ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE JOLT. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S FAULTY CONNECTION INSIDE THE SEALS BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ON OWNER FORUMS OF GMC YUKON'S .

Summary

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH WHEN HE NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AND NOTICED THE BRAKES ON THE YUKON WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. MORE SPECIFICALLY, THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION THE FIRST 3-4 TIMES WHEN THEY WERE APPLIED OR TAPPED, BUT THEREAFTER THE BRAKES WOULD BECOME HARD AND HE HAD TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS HE COULD BUT WITH LITTLE TO NO STOPPING ABILITY. THE 'BRAKE ASSIST' LIGHT CAME ON. HAD WE BEEN IN ANY TRAFFIC OR ON A SHORTER ROAD, WE WOULD HAVE SURELY CRASHED INTO SOMEONE AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC CONSIDERING WE LIVE IN DALLAS WHERE THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC. THIS DAY WE WERE VERY LUCKY! GM HAD ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN #PIT5361B WHICH AFFECTED MULTIPLE YEARS AND CLASSES OF VEHICLES TO INCLUDE THE 2015 YUKON. GM ACKNOWLEDGED THAT 'A CUSTOMER MAY COMMENT ON A HARD BRAKE PEDAL OR THAT INCREASED EFFORT IS NEEDED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL.' AS EVIDENCE OF THE DEFECT, GM NOTIFIED ITS DEALERS, 'WHILE PERFORMING NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS, FLUID MAY BE FOUND IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND/OR THE BOOSTER VACUUM LINE.' HOWEVER, WE CALLED MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS WITHIN THE DFW AREA AND THEY ALL DENIED KNOWING ANY ISSUE WITH GM BRAKES FAILING OR THE VACUUM PUMP. INTERESTINGLY, THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS VERY ISSUE AND GM ALSO ISSUED A SERIES OF SERVICE BULLETINS TO ITS DEALERS REGARDING THE BRAKE DEFECT, WITH THE LATEST BULLETIN DATED MARCH 15, 2017, TO INCLUDE THE 2015-2016 YUKON. OURS IS JUST A 2017, 1 YEAR OUTSIDE OF THAT. WHO IS TO SAY THIS YEAR ISN'T AFFECTED CONSIDERING PAST HISTORY OF THE BULLETINS. IT WAS THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY AND NO DEALERSHIP COULD EVEN GET TO IT BESIDES NOT KNOWING OF ANY 'ISSUE', EVEN THOUGH IT'S ALL OVER THE INTERNET.

THIS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF TIMES IN ONE DAY RESULTING IN A NEAR REAR-ENDING OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AS WELL AS HITTING A CURB WHICH STOPPED US FROM ENTERING THE FRONT WINDOW OF A RETAIL ESTABLISHMENT.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ARE VERY ROUGH IN SLOW TRAFFIC WITH AS MUCH AS ONE TO TWO SECOND DELAYS IN SHIFTING INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD THUMP. IT IS SO ROUGH THAT IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE MAY HAVE RAN INTO THE YOUR BACK BUMPER. IT IS ALSO BAD ENOUGH THAT IT STARTLES THE DRIVER AND COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. GM IS SAYING THAT THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION. IF MY CAR, THE ONE I'M DRIVING NOW, HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM I WOULD DEFINITELY REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS A 2017 DENALI WITH LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT. ONLINE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND IT SEEMS THAT GM IS TRYING TO WAIT THE PUBLIC OUT NOW THAT THE NEW VEHICLES HAVE A NEW TEN SPEED TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND WE WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT. AGAIN, THIS TO ME IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE.
