2015 GMC YUKON Complaints

REAR TAIL/BRAKE/TURN LIGHTS RANDOMLY DON'T WORK. THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON AND COMPLAINED ABOUT REPEATEDLY ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH MY LEFT TAIL LIGHT.

APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING OUR 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI, HAVING ONLY DRIVEN UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON HIGHWAYS AND SURFACE STREETS FOR 15K MILES, THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL / BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR WARRANTY AND REPLACED BY THE DEALER. APPROX 6 MONTHS LATER THE DRIVER'S SIDE TAIL / BRAKE LIGHT DID THE SAME THING, AND WAS ALSO REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. NOW APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR LATER THE REAR PASSENGER LIGHT IS OUT AGAIN AND DEALER WANTS $600.00 TO REPLACE THE FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT LAMP, BUT CAN'T BECAUSE THEY'RE IN SUCH DEMAND BASED ON THE DEFECTIVE PART, THAT THEY ARE BACKORDERED. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

REAR BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, SOMETIMES ONE DOESN'T WORK, SOMETIMES BOTH ARE OUT, SOMETIMES BOTH WORK. SEEMS WORSE IN THE HOT WEATHER. TAKEN IT IN MULTIPLE TIME, 1ST 2 TIMES COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE OUTAGE, 3RD TIME THEY SAID IT NEEDED BOTH TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES REPLACES FOR $1200. THEN THEY WORKED ALL WINTER, NOW NOT WORKING CONSISTENTLY.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MAY FAIL MOMENTARILY AND THEN SUDDENLY FUNCTION AGAIN. THIS CAN CAUSE DIFFICULTY STEERING THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING RISK OF A CRASH. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING RECALL 18V586000 THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN I BACK UP OR TURN I LOSE POWER MOMENTARILY THEN IT COMES BACK

DRIVER SIDE REAR TAILLIGHT NOT WORKING, WAS TOLD IT WAS A BROKEN SOLID CIRCUIT BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WANT CLOSE TO $1000 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM IS NOT RECALLING!!!!

MY VEHICLE HAS A CRACK IN THE COMBI-COOLER AS DESCRIBED IN NHSTA REFERENCE NUMBER: N162080780 AND GM SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 17336. IN THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE SPECIAL COVERAGE IT STATES THAT THE COVERAGE PERIOD IS 5 YEARS OF 60,000 MILES BASED ON THE DATE THE VEHICLE ENTERED SERVICE. THIS VEHICLE WAS A GM EXECUTIVE VEHICLE UNTIL PURCHASED WITH 15102 MILES VIA THE GM PEP PROGRAM. GM IS NOT INCLUDING MY VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS CLEARLY STATED IN THE COVERAGE SINCE THEIR SYSTEMS DO NOT ACCOUNT FOR A VEHICLE THAT ENTERS SERVICE WITH THIS MANY MILES. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VIOLATION OF THEIR AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA AND REQUEST THAT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE TOTAL NUMBER OF AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER UNIT FAILURES USED IN SUCH VEHICLES TO IDENTIFY IF A FULL FLEDGED RECALL IS WARRANTED.

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE ISSUES ONE SIDE STOPPED WORKING A FEW WEEKS AGO AND NOW THE OTHER SIDE STOPPED WORKING THEY ARE NOT CHEAP TO REPAIR AND THE CAR IS NOT EVEN GOT 40,000 MILES ON IT I WOULD EXPECT THAT THEY WOULD AT LEAST LAST ABOUT 80,000 MILES.

LEFT TAILLIGHT WENT OUT AT AROUND 82,000 MILES, FIRST FLICKERED FOR A FEW MONTHS, THEN WENT COMPLETELY OUT. WITHIN ONE WEEK, THE RIGHT TAILLIGHT WENT COMPLETELY OUT ALSO.

BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IF YOU TAP HARD ON IT THEY SOMETIMES COME BACK ON BUT DON'T STAY ON. I TOOK TO GMC DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THEY'VE HAD A DOZEN YUKON'S IN RECENTLY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DEALER INDICATED ISSUE IS FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD THAT OVERHEATS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO SHORT OUT. I'M OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER LIGHTS. DEALER CHARGES $800 PER LIGHT (PART ONLY).

DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. DEALER WANTS $800 TO REPLACE BRAKE LIGHT
