2015 GMC Yukon XL complaints

LEFT REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY INTERMITTENT OPEN CIRCUIT. WIRING CHECKS OKAY. GOOD POWER AND GROUNDS. NOTED THAT THE LAMP HOUSING HAS EVIDENCE OF CORROSION AT THE BASE OF THE MAIN CONNECTOR. THE HOUSING IS A SEALED UNIT (NO SERVICEABLE PARTS) SO THE NATURE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM A 37+YEAR A.S.E. MASTER TECHNICIAN AND STATE OF MICHIGAN MASTER TECHNICIAN SO I AM WELL SEASONED AT PROPER AUTO/LIGHT TRUCK ELECTRICAL DIAGNOSIS. THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT WHILE SITING STILL AND/OR IN MOTION. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

ONE OF THE BREAK LIGHTS IS OUT. THEY HAVE MADE THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU CAN NO LONGER JUST REPLACE THE BULBS BUT HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT AT A COST OF $885. THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE 2015 AND 2016 MODELS THAT CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL. GMC IS AWARE OF IT AND DID EXTEND WARRANTY COVERAGE SO THAT IF YOU ARE "LUCKY" ENOUGH TO HAVE THEM FAIL WITH LESS THAN 72,000 ON YOUR VEHICLE THEY WILL REPLACE THEM AT NO COST BUT AFTER THAT THEY WILL NOT. THEY KNOW THE PRODUCT AND IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR PEOPLE TO DRIVE AROUND WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS BECAUSE IT COSTS NEARLY $900 A PIECE TO REPLACE THEM! PERHAPS THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TURNED WHAT USED TO BE AN CHEAP, EASY THING TO FIX ON YOUR OWN INTO A $900 REPAIR IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOW THAT THEY HAVE THEY SHOULD AT LEAST STAND BEHIND THE PRODUCT.

LED BRAKE LAMP WENT OUT AT 42K MILES, BUT GM REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF ENTIRE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY AT EXPONENTIAL COST.

THE LEFT LED TAIL LIGHT WOULD GO OUT AND THEN COME BACK ON. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. POLICE STOPPED ME TWICE BUT THANKFULLY, DID NOT GIVE ME A TICKET. HAD IT REPAIRED 2 OR 3 TIMES. IT MIGHT LAST A DAY OR TWO AND THEN GOES OUT AGAIN. APPARENTLY, THERE IS A THIN METAL PIECE THAT IS SORTED TOGETHER THAT KEEPS BREAKING. THE RIGHT ONE HAS STARTED DOING IT TOO. I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE FOR THE RECALL. CAN'T AFFORD THE $1600 OR SO IT WOULD COST FOR NEW IMPROVED TAIL LIGHTS. WHAT DOES MILEAGE HAVE TO DO WITH REPAIRING A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCTS USED IN THE TAIL LIGHT? I AM CONSTANTLY AFRAID SOMEONE WILL REAR END ME SINCE THE LIGHT DOESN'T WORK.

2015 REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED. GMC KNOW THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE DONE NOTHING. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!!

THIS VEHICLE HAD A FAILED DRIVER'S BRAKE LIGHT AT ABOUT 60K MILES AND IT WAS REPLACED AS A RECALL ITEM. AT 76K MILES THE PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT HAS FAILED AND WE ARE INFORMED IT IS NO LONGER A RECALL ITEM BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF THE RECALL TIMEFRAME. I'VE ALSO KNOWN 2 OTHER PEOPLE WITH YUKON'S, BOTH NEIGHBORS AND BOTH HAVE HAD AT LEAST 1 FAILED BRAKE LIGHT. IF THIS IS A KNOWN FAILURE AND SAFETY ISSUE, WHY ARE THEY DENYING RECALL AT SUCH A LOW MILEAGE.

THE CLEAR COAT ON MY HOOD AND ROOF IS COMPLETELY GONE. I NOTICED THE HOOD LOOKED A LITTLE DULL ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. NOW THE PAIN IS STARTING TO CHIP. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, THERE'S NO WAY THE CLEAR COAT SHOULD BE COMPLETELY GONE.

TOOK MY CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2015 YUKON XL INTO DEALER WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH INTERMITTENT FAILURE IN BOTH TAIL LAMPS (THE RED PART FOR BRAKE AND TAIL LAMP FUNCTION GOES OUT; TURN SIGNAL STILL WORKS). CONDITION WAS NOT NOTED ON MY SERVICE TICKET SINCE THE TAIL LAMPS WAS WORKING FINE AT THE TIME. WARRANTY EXPIRED, PASSENGER TAIL LAMP WENT OUT COMPLETELY AND BOTH DEALER AND A CALL TO GMC TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULDN'T ASSIST IN SPITE OF MY ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. NEEDED TAIL LAMP TO PASS STATE INSPECTION AND RETURN MY WIFE AND FOUR KIDS SAFELY TO THE ROAD, SO I HAD TO PAY. AS I WALKED OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP TO RETRIEVE MY VEHICLE AFTER THE $400 PASSENGER TAIL LAMP REPLACEMENT, I FOUND THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LAMP TO BE INOPERABLE, EVEN THOUGH IT HAD JUST PASSED THE STATE INSPECTION 20 MIN PRIOR. I SHOWED THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER. THEY BOTH AGREED THAT THE TAIL LAMP ISSUE IS WIDE-SPREAD, UNSAFE, AND A MAJOR QUALITY ISSUE, BUT THEY WERE BOUND BY GMC POLICIES. YES, GMC EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THESE TAIL LAMPS, BUT I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AS PREOWNED CERTIFIED WITH 68K MILES. SPECIAL PART WARRANTY WENT TO 70K AND MY CERTIFIED WARRANTY WENT TO 80K. I DID MY PART AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AS SOON AS THE PROBLEM AROSE, YET HERE I AM HOLDING AN $800 BAG OF BROKEN TAIL LAMPS. HORRENDOUS QUALITY ISSUE THAT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR THESE VEHICLES. IT IS TIME TO ISSUE THE RECALL!!!

BOUGHT THE 2015 YUKON XL AS CERTIFIED PREOWNED. WHILE STILL COVERED UNDER CERTIFIED WARRANTY, I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE INTERMITTENT TAIL LAMP FAILURE, BUT THE DEALER COULDN'T REPLICATE. YOU KNOW THE REST...THE CERTIFIED WARRANTY THEN EXPIRED BY MILEAGE, THEN THE TAIL LAMP COMPLETELY FAILED, THEN I TOOK IT BACK IN AND THEY SAY THEY WON'T COVER IT. I SPOKE TO DEALER SERVICE MANAGER, GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE (PLUS A MANAGER), BUT I"M TOLD THAT THEY WON'T ASSIST SINCE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY. I DID MY PART...I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AS SOON AS THE CONDITION PRESENTED ITSELF. IT'S A SHAME THAT GMC WON'T OWN THIS MASSIVE FAILURE UNTIL A RECALL ISSUED. MAYBE MY COMPLAINT WILL BE THE TIPPING POINT THAT KICKS OFF THAT PROCESS.

OUR 2015 YUKON XL DENALI CAUGHT FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE WAITING AT STOP LIGHT ON SAT, WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN INSIDE. IT WAS A HOT DAY, OVER 95 DEGREES, AND WE WERE TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC WHEN WE REALIZED THE SMELL AND SMOKE WAS COMING FROM OUR VEHICLE. SMOKE WHIFFED FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND NOXIOUS FUMES FILLED THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, SCARING ME AND MY FAMILY. WE FINISHED THE TURN AND IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, SHUTOFF THE TRUCK, AND ALL ESCAPED FEARING IT WOULD BURST INTO FLAMES. WHATEVER WAS BURNING APPEARED TO STOP ONCE THE IGNITION WAS OFF. I OPENED THE DRIVER DOOR, POPPED AND RAISED THE HOOD TO LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. I COULD SEE THAT A BELT, BEHIND THE SERPENTINE BELT, HAD SNAPPED, AND THERE WAS CHARRED DEBRIS ON THE EXPOSED MECHANICAL PULLEY FOR THE AC COMPRESSOR. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, I RESTARTED THE TRUCK WITH THE AC OFF, AND MONITORED FOR SMOKE. THE TRUCK SEEMED OK TO DRIVE HOME , SO WE DID WITHOUT AC ON A 95 DEGREE DAY. ON MONDAY WE DROVE THE TRUCK TO A TRUSTED MECHANIC FOR INSPECTION. THEY DIAGNOSED THE COMPRESSOR SEIZED AND ESTIMATED REPAIRS WERE $1,240. THE TRUCK IS GARAGED KEPT, AND GENTLY USED WITH ONLY 37,500 MILES. WE PURCHASED THE GMC CERTIFIED TRUCK IN JULY 2018 FROM A DEALER. I CREATED AN ACCOUNT ON GMC.COM & LOOKED THROUGH WARRANTY COVERAGE. A SPECIAL COVERAGE HAD BEEN EXTENDED FOR AC DEFECTS, BUT IT LAPSED IN MARCH, 2020. LOOKING FURTHER; MANY THOUSANDS OF GM OWNERS HAD SAME PROBLEM FROM SAME DEFECTIVE AC CONDENSER COMBI-COOLER. I

I HAVE A 2015 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. TRUCK WAS PURCHASED FROM GMC CERTIFIED DEALER IN JULY 2018, WITH 16,000 MILES. THE TRUCK IS GARAGED KEPT, AND GENTLY USED WITH ONLY 37,500 MILES. WHEN SOMETIMES DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SOMETIMES SLIP (AKA STUDDER). WHEN STARTING (ENGINE IS COLD) AND SHIFTING INTO D, SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD, OR SLAMS INTO 1ST GEAR. THAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE GOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION. OCCASIONALLY THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD BETWEEN GEARS AT MODERATE SPEED. I HAVE JUST LEARNED THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS GOING BACK TO 2016 REGARDING COMPLAINTS FOR THE NEWLY DEVELOPED 8-SPEED M5U/8L90 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE LOCAL GMC DEALER HAS SERVICED THE TRUCK 4 TIMES IN PAST 2 YEARS AND NEVER BOTHERED TO ASK ABOUT THE SYMPTOMS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. OR ALERT ME TO THE DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION. GM & DEALER COLLUDED TO WITHOUT PERTINENT INFORMATION FROM ME TO CAUSE THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER WARRANTY TO EXPIRE, FORCING REPAIRS EXPENSE TO BE OUT-OF-POCKET ON THE CONSUMER. DEALER CHARGED ME $300 TO SWAP THE DRAIN AND FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND SWITCH TO ANOTHER TYPE. IF THE DEALER HAD ALERTED ME TO THE ISSUE ON 1 OF THE 4 PREVIOUS SERVICE VISITS, THE SERVICE WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BUT NOW THAT THE TRUCK IS 3 MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. GM AND THE DEALER HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR YEARS, AND DID NOTHING.

MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. ANOTHER 2015 YUKON WITH NO TAIL OR STOP LIGHTS. I'M OVER MILLAGE ON SPECIAL RECALL. THERE SHOULD BE NO TIME/MILLAGE ISSUE ON THIS. SEAT BELTS LOCK UP. BRAKES ARE EITHER GOOD OR MUSSY WHENEVER THEY WANT TO BE. HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD COMPLETELY DIE (NO LIGHTS MOTOR DIED, NO POWER STEERING, NO AIR BAGS, NO RADIO NOTHING AT ALL ON THE X-WAY AT 70 MPH) AND THE DEALER COULD NOT REPAIR IT! RUST ON FRAME RAILS. (AND MORE).

THE REAR PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING. NOT A BULB ISSUE AS IT IS THE LED PANEL OF LIGHTS. THE BACK-UP BULB STILL WORKS, BUT THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T. LED LIGHTS SHOULD LAST YEARS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAPPENS A LOT TO THESE VEHICLES, AND I HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW UNIT FOR EACH SIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE - BREAK LIGHTS FAILING DUE TO POOR WIRING. AGAIN NOT A REPLACEABLE BULB ISSUE, IT IS DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE WITHIN THE LED LIGHTING UNIT ITSELF.

MY PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED ON YOUR SITE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. LACK OF PROPERLY FUNCTIONING TAIL LIGHTS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL ISSUE POSSIBLY. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN ROAD, HIGHWAY OR SIDE STREET, VEHICLE RIDES EXTREMELY ROUGH AND BOUNCES. *TR

RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT LED KEEPS WORKING OFF AND ON. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, LOOK AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND COSTS THE CUSTOMER AROUND $700 TO FIX. THE LED STRIP BREAKS INTERNALLY AND THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE REAR BRAKE TAILLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEWEENAW BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 608 QUINCY ST, HANCOCK, MI 49930, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

BOTH LED BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THEY WERE BOTH REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. NOW APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART, WHICH COST $700.00 EACH SIDE, AND HAS FAILED TWICE IN YEAR. FROM A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR GMC YUKON'S AND DENALI'S BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN. THE SOLDER CONNECTION PREMATURELY BREAKS AND CAUSES THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2019. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER OUR RIGHT TAIL LIGHT STARTED GOING OUT RANDOMLY. THEN IT COMPLETELY WOULD NOT WORK. WE PAY FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT DIDN'T COVER IT. THEN SHORTLY AFTER THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT DID THE SAME THING. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 84K MILES ON OUR VEHICLE. DUE TO NEGLIGENCE, AND A DISHONEST COMPANY (GMC), THIS MILITARY FAMILY IS DOWN TO 1 VEHICLE AS WE CANNOT AFFORD THE ALMOST $2K IT WILL COST TO FIX THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS IS NOT DUE TO ANYTHING WE DID, IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH FAULT BRAKE LIGHTS THAT GMC WILL NOT FIX PAST 72K MILES WHICH IS DISGUSTING AND A SLAP IN THE FACE TO PEOPLE WHO GIVE THEM THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. THERE ARE DOZENS OF BLOGS, POSTS, WEBSITES, ETC OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE AND GMC NOT HELPING PAST 72K MILES WHICH IS A HORRIBLE EXPLANATION AND IS NOT HELPFUL TO MOST OF US. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THINGS THAT HAVE BROKEN (NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE) THAT WASN'T COVERED UNDER OUR PLATINUM EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER, GMC NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING ESPECIALLY FOR OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM, AND FIX WHAT THEIR COMPANY HAS DEEMED AS FAULTY PAST 72K MILES!!! *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY NOT ILLUMINATING AND GOING OUT. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS IN THE ASSEMBLY ARE FINE. REVERSE AND TURN SIGNAL, NO BRAKE INDICATION. IT DOES NOT ACTIVATE A WARNING ON THE DASH FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. THIS HAPPENS 24/7... THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR WITH AN ITEM PRICED AT OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE. *TR

I PURCHASED BY VEHICLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR VARIOUS ISSUES, MOSTLY ELECTRICAL INVOLVING THE COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE, OR ISSUES INVOLVING MY TIRES OR STEERING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY "DRIVER ASSIST" HAS MALFUNCTIONED MANY TIMES AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. LAST SUMMER MY FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND STOPPED WORKING. I SPENT $800 FOR THE BACK PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT AND ALMOST $1000 FOR THE FRONT DRIVER HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW BATTERY FOR THIS VEHICLE. MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AND THIS TIME, I AM TOLD THAT THE SEAT MOTOR (THAT ALERTS YOU WHEN YOU ARE NEAR AN OBSTACLE HAS BURNED OUT.) ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO, I BECAME AWARE OF TICKING NOISE WHILE MY CAR HAS BEEN IDLE. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED A MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT. TODAY, I AM ALSO INFORMED THAT MY "LIFTERS" ARE BAD ON THE VEHICLE AND MY ENGINE IS GOING BAD. I AM TOLD THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER HAS BURNED OUT, I AM TOLD THE MOTOR UNDER MY SEAT IS BURNED OUT. I HAVE PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I GET OIL CHANGES REGULARLY AND USE HIGH QUALITY SYNTHETIC OILS. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE SHOP AT LEAST 2X PER YEAR FOR PROBLEMS AND SOME MAJOR REPAIR IS ALWAYS REQUIRED. THIS IS A CAR THAT I AM GOING INTO THE 5TH YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THIS SUMMER. ORIGINALLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BRAKES, NOW I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT, BUT I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR VARIOUS RECALLS AT LE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER LEAKED INTO THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE AND SATURATED THE AIR BAG AND THE MAIN FUSE BOX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A TSB FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RENO BUICK GMC CADILLAC DEALER, LOCATED AT 900 KIETZKE LANE, RENO, NV 89502, (775)-815-7660, WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A FACTORY DEFECT. THE TECHNICIAN REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND, THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO COVER TEN PERCENT OF THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000.

MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY DON'T WORK FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT AND CANT THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

BREAK LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES ON DRIVER'S SIDE. RECEIVED LETTER FROM GMC DATED DECEMBER 2019, "INTENDED TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT SOME 2015 MODEL YEAR GMC YUKON XL VEHICLES MAY HAVE A CONDITION WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT ILLUMINATE". THE WOULD REPAIR IT WITH NO COST ONLY IF THIS WOULD HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN 6 YEAR OF THE DATE YOUR VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE OR 72,000 MILES. OF COURSE, WE ARE WAY ABOVE THAT. DEALER QUOTED $800 COST REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE PAD DISENGAGED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR BOTTLE AND NOTICED THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAGGIO BUICK GMC (310 NEW ROADS ST, NEW ROADS, LA 70760), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS (BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS IN RED) STOP WORKING WITH NO WARNING TO THE DRIVER. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DOES CONTINUE TO WORK. THIS IS NOTICED WHEN PARKED AND WHEN IN MOTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHER DRIVERS CRASHING INTO OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT WE ARE BRAKING. A FRIEND HAD TO POINT THIS OUT TO US IN THE SCHOOL PICKUP LINE. FIRST NOTICED ON 2/13/20. HAD TO BUY TWO NEW TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALL.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I BEGAN TO RECEIVE AN ALERT THAT MY SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. UPON INSPECTION, MY RIGHT SIDE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER COMPLETING THE REPAIR, THE NEW MODULE WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE LEFT MODULE WHICH IS HOW THE RIGHT MODULE GETS PROGRAMMED. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ALERT THAT THE LEFT MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN THAT THESE MODULES WOULD FAIL THIS SOON INTO THE VEHICLE'S LIFE (68,000 MILES). THERE ARE NO MOVING PARTS, ETC. NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUES OF NOT HAVING A WORKING SIDE COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM.

AFTER DRIVING A 100 MILE ROUND TRIP ON A US HWY, COUNTY ROADS, AND CITY STREETS, WE ARRIVED BACK HOME AND BEFORE WE COULD TURN OUR 2015 GMC YUKON XL, WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE. DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH WHERE OUR 8 MONTH CHILD WAS JUST SITING, IS WHERE WE NOTICED 87 OCTANE FUEL DRIPPING RAPIDLY. AS I WAS LOOKING, MY WIFE WAS REMOVING OUR CHILD OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE SHE WAS SITTING. WE HAD SO MUCH GAS ON THE GROUND AND THE FUMES WHERE SO STRONG. I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW QUICKLY THE FUMES ENGULFED OUR WHOLE VEHICLE, WITH ALL OF US STILL IN THE VEHICLE. HAD THERE BEEN A SPARK OF ANY KIND, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO CATCH OUR VEHICLE ON FIRE WITH US POSSIBLE STILL IN THE VEHICLE AND MAINLY OUR INFANT STILL IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE BROUGHT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND HAD TO HAVE OUR FUEL FEED LINE (ACDELCO PART# 84200274) REPLACED. THE ENGINEERS FOR GM, STUPIDLY HAD THIS FUEL LINE RUNNING THROUGH A MOLDED CLIP, THAT IS PART OF THE FUEL TANK, AND THE HOSE WAS 'SNAPPED' INTO IT TIGHTLY. THIS CAUSED ENOUGH FRICTION IN THE LINE MOVING BACK AND FORTH TO FINELY PLACE A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE. NHTSA MUST TAKE THIS REPORT SERIOUSLY BEFORE IT COST THE LIFE OF SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT DESERVE BURNING ALIVE IN A VEHICLE. ISSUE THE RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THIS HAPPENS! MOST PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD A $350-$1,000 FIX OR MUCH LESS THE VALUE OF SOMEONE'S LIFE!

I BOUGHT THIS YUKON AND THE NEXT DAY A GENTLEMAN THAT WAS RIDING BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME HE CAME TO THE SIDE OF ME AND SAID MY TAIL LIGHT IS NOT WORKING THEY COME ON WHEN THEY WANT TO IN AND OUT AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ITS HAPPENING TO ALL OF THE NEWER MODELS AND THEY ARE 800 FOR A NEW TAIL LIGHT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE TAIL LIGHTS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE LED STRIP IN THEM THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT I HAVE 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND I DO NOT NEED TO GET INTO A CRASH AND I DO NOT NEED TO SPEND 1600 PLUS TO GET NEW ONES.

NO BRAKE LIGHT IN BOTH REAR LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES. STARTED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE. GMC ISSUED A LETTER IN DECEMBER 2019 STATING THEY'D PAY FOR REPAIRS IF VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 6 YEARS OR 75,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. WE'LL I'M OVER ON BOTH. GMPP EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS REPAIR. SPEND $75K FOR THIS TRUCK AND NOW THIS.

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING ON THE FREEWAY DURING MY TRIP TO SAN DIEGO FROM PHOENIX. ABOUT HALFWAY HERE ONE TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT IN ABOUT 20 MILES LATER THE OTHER ONE STOPPED WORKING. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE A FRIEND WAS FOLLOWING ME.I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, HE STATED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND WON'T BE IN FOR A WEEK PLUS. NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND CALIFORNIA WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS.. I ONLY HAVE 48,000 MILES ON THIS SUV, EACH TAIL LIGHT IS $760 THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR THIS IS TO REPLACE THEM. THANK YOU GM I WILL BE FORWARDING YOU MY TICKET..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, A BYSTANDER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE REAR EXTERNAL BRAKE LIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT EXITED THE VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED THAT THE TAILLAMPS WERE INOPERABLE. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GUNN BUICK GMC LOCATED AT (16440 INTERSTATE 35 FRONTAGE RD, SELMA, TX 78154 (866) 468-6484) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TAILLAMP ASSEMBLIES WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.*DT*JB

GMC RECENTLY ADVISED US THAT THE TAILGATE LIGHTS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WHERE THEY "INTERMITTENTLY" DO NOT ILLUMINATE. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE FOR QUITE SOMETIME WHERE DRIVERS CANNOT SEE OUR TAILGATE LIGHTS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN INTERMITTENT, IT HAS BEEN VERY HARD FOR THE SHOP TO DIAGNOSE AS WHEN THEY GET IT AND IT IS ON, THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. SINCE WE RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM GMC, WE HAVE BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT RESOLVED, BUT THEY WILL NOT DO IT BECAUSE OUR MILES ARE OVER. I HAVE TOLD THEM THAT THEY KNOW ITS AN ISSUE AND THAT IT IS INTERMITTENT AND WHEN PEOPLE TAKE IT INTO THE SHOP TO GET IT DIAGNOSE, ITS A HIT AND MISS. I HAVE NOW SEEN OVER A DOZEN OTHER GMC'S ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME ISSUE. LAST WEEK, WHILE TRAVELING WITH KIDS TO A SOCCER TOURNAMENT, BOTH WEREN'T WORKING AT NIGHT AND WE WERE PULLED OVER. I FORTUNATELY HAD THE LETTER IN THE CAR AND SHOWED IT TO HIM. HE GAVE ME A WARNING AND ADVISED THAT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR CARS TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN THERE ARE NO TAILGATES ON AND THAT GMC HAD BETTER GET THIS RESOLVED. I HAVE MADE TWO REQUESTS WITH GMC AND THEY HAVE DENIED THE REQUEST. I EVEN TOLD THEM THAT I WOULD COST SHARE IF WE MEET IN THE MIDDLE AND THEY WOULD NOT. THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE, YET THEY AREN'T WILLING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY OR MAKE IT A RECALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS WITH GMC MODELS NATIONWIDE. I HOPE THAT THIS IS BROUGHT TO SOMEONE'S ATTENTION AND THAT GMC IS ENCOUR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE OCTOBER 31'ST 2019 FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP. THE MILAGE WAS ABOUT 74K MILES. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR A FEW MONTHS. MY CONCERN IS THE FOLLOWING. WHILE DRIVING, AT LEAST 7 TO TEN TIMES THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLS. IN OTHER WORDS IT COMPLETELY STOPS. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. ALL POWER IS LOST. NO LIGHTS NO NOTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT INTERSECTIONS, IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING LEFT, IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN TURNING RIGHT. IT HAPPENS WHEN WE ARE YIELDING. SOMETIMES THE DASH STARTS TO FLICKER AND ALSO THE CONSOLE. SOMETIMES LIKE TODAY WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THIS IS PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PLEASE RESPOND ASAP. I CURRENTLY HAVE 86K MILES ON MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN ANOTHER VEHICLE BEHIND HIS WIFE HE NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE BRAKE LAMP WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CRAWFORD BUICK GMC LOCATED AT (6800 MONTANA AVE, EL PASO, TX 79925) WHERE THEY REPLACED REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LAMP BULB. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LAMP ALSO BECAME INOPERABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THE YUKON'S AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CAN GET VERY JERKY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD (FIRST 10-15 MINS OF DRIVING). CITY DRIVING SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN ENVIRONMENT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION JERKINESS OCCURS. THE JERKINESS STARTED SUBTLY AROUND 75,000 MILES, AND NOW AT ALMOST 100K MILES, THE ISSUE HAS ONLY GOTTEN MORE SEVERE. ACCELERATING FROM A STOP UPHILL AND AROUND TURNS ARE TIMES WHEN IT'S MORE PRONE TO JERK. THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT WOULD BE A LAG IN GEAR SHIFTING CAUSED BY SOME TYPE OF DELAY THE CAR'S ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM. THE LAG HAS OCCURRED SO VIOLENTLY AT TIMES, IT FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN IN A REAR-END COLLISION. I WOULD HESITATE TO ALLOW BABIES TO RIDE IN THIS CAR DUE TO THEIR INABILITY TO BRACE WHEN THESE JERKS OCCUR; THERE'S DEFINITELY ENOUGH FORCE TO CAUSE WHIPLASH TO A BABY. I WOULD SAY THE JERK HAPPENS 2-3 TIMES EVERY TRIP, EVEN IF I SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO PREVENT QUICK GEAR SHIFTS FROM HAPPENING.

RIGHT TAIL LIGHT DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. GMC WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 72,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED INDEFINITELY.

REAR BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. GM DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THIS LED BRAKE LIGHT WAS DESIGNED TO BE LIFETIME. RECEIVED LETTER FROM GM STATING THAT THEY ARE ONLY COVERING THE FREE REPLACEMENT THRU 72,000 MILE. MY VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN 72,000 MILES. COST TO REPAIR $800.

BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS GONE OUT FOR 3RD TIME. $700 TO REPAIR EACH TIME. LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS. GM HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM. SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS AND ALL OF US WHO HAVE HAD TO REPAIR THIS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. THEY ARE REPLACING FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT UNITS WITH FAULTY UNITS SO IT REPEATEDLY RECURS. THEY HAVE ALSO FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE UNTIL VEHICLES HAVE ACCUMULATED OVER 72,000 MILES SO THEY CAN CLAIM OUTSIDE SPECIAL WARRANTY PERIOD

THE BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS ON THIS GMC YUKON ONLY RANDOMLY LIGHT UP. HAVE BEEN TOLD RANDOM TIMES BY OTHER MOTORIST THAT BRAKE OR TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING ON HIGHWAY. I'VE CONTACTED GM MULTIPLE TIMES ON PHONE AND AT DEALER AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY FINALLY SENT A LETTER OUT TODAY NOTING THERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT STILL WANT FIX MINE BECAUSE IT'S OVER 72K ON YUKON. SAFETY HAS NO MILEAGE LIMIT AND GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND YOU WILL SEE THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT GM LED BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS GOING BAD. THANKS FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER.

MY SEAT HEATER MALFUNCTIONED, BURNING A HOLE IN MY SEAT BACKREST, AND BURNING A HOLE IN MY JACKET! 30 SECONDS AFTER LEAVING MY HOME, DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, I SUDDENLY FELT A SHARP POKING IN MY BACK. WHEN I REACHED BACK I WAS SHOCKED TO FEEL THE SEAT BURNING AND A HOLE IN THE SEAT! I REACTED IMMEDIATELY, TURNING OFF THE SEAT HEATER AND PULLING OVER. MY CAR HAD SMOKE AND SMELLED OF BURNING PLASTIC. I LOOK AT THE BACK OF MY DRIVERS SEAT AND THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE SEAT WHERE IT BURNED STRAIGHT THROUGH. AND WHEN I TOOK OFF MY JACKET I FOUND A HOLE THERE AS WELL WHERE THE SEAT BURNED THROUGH IT AS WELL. I HAD A SMALL BURN, BUT IT WAS ONLY MINOR. IT WAS A DISTURBING SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE IF I DIDN'T REACT IMMEDIATELY OR WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. TODAY I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL GMC DEALER WHO DIDN'T SEEM VERY CONCERNED AND LET ME KNOW IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO GET IF FIXED. I DECLINED THE SERVICE AT THIS TIME. I THEN CALLED GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO DOCUMENTED MY SITUATION, BUT ALSO DIDN'T SEEM CONCERNED. I WOULD HAVE HOPED GMC WOULD HAVE WANTED TO AT LEAST DIAGNOSE ROOT CAUSE TO ENSURE THERE IS NOT A LARGER PROBLEM ON THEIR HANDS. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A PAYDAY HERE. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO OTHERS AT A TIME THAT IT COULD CAUSE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INJURY.

LEFT (DRIVER SIDE) REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY DEAD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS. WILL BE THE THIRD ASSEMBLY ON THE VEHICLE IN THE FIVE YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT.THE ASSEMBLY DOES NOT LAST. ALL THE LED'S STOP WORKING. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY PARTICULAR REASON THAT THE SHOP CAN FIND THAT IT CAUSING IT.

FRONT LED TURN SIGNAL (WHICH SHOULD LAST FOR EVER) IS MALFUNCTIONING AND DESPITE PURCHASING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY COMPANY OR GM. QUOTED NEARLY $1,700 TO HAVE A TURN FUNCTIONING TURN SIGNAL AGAIN. THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED. THIS WAS A $60K+ VEHICLE!?!?!?!?!?

WE PURCHASED A 2015 GMC YUKON XL DENALI IN JULY 2019 FROM JACKIE COOPER IN EDMOND, OK. IN DECEMBER 2019, WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT. SOME DAYS THEY WORK FINE, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. WE'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE STOP US AND TELL US THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE "FLICKERING". THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN, AND WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY COST TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE LIGHTS, IT'S A BUDGETARY CONCERN, AS WELL. SINCE WE STARTED NOTICING IT, WE ALSO HAVE HEARD OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL AND YEAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A DEFECTED PRODUCT WHICH NEEDS A BETTER SOLUTION. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS ANOTHER SOLUTION BESIDES SPENDING $1,000-$1,500 TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE A SIMPLE BULB I COULD FIND AT A AUTO PARTS STORE.

DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. BRAKE LIGHT.
