2016 GMC YUKON Complaints

REAR LED TAILLIGHT WENT OUT OUR ONLY 3 YEAR OLD 2016 GMC DENALI. THIS EFFECTS THE STOP, TAIL, AND TURN LIGHTS. THESE LED LIGHTS ARE NOT REPAIRABLE AND THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. GM CHARGES AN ASTRONOMICAL PRICE OF AROUND $700 FOR EACH SIDE. IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND ANY USED ONES AND ACCORDING TO PART DEALERS GM HAS A 'BOUNTY' ON ANY USED ONES TO TURN BACK IN. OBVIOUSLY GM IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT AS NOT ONLY AS GOOD CUSTOMER RELATIONS BUT IT'S REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT NOTICED WATER COMING FROM THE HIGH FREQUENCY ANTENNA, WHICH CAUSED A SHORTAGE TO THE GPS AND RENDERED IT INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERRA CHEVROLET BUICK GMC OF NASHVILLE (2340 GALATIANS PIKE N, MADISON, TN 37115, (615) 543-5456) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HIGH FREQUENCY ANTENNA NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5724166813. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY TAIL LIGHT IS OUT ONLY ON THE BRAKE PART THE DEALERS SAID I HAVE TO REPLACE THE HOLE LIGHT IVE HAD MY CAR NO MORE THAN 2 YEARS RUNNING WELL JUST THE LIGHT PROBLEM THE DEALER SAID IT HAPPENS ALOT BUT IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THEY WANT TO CHARGE 600 DLLS I THINK THEY SHOULD FIX THEIR ISSUE AN NOT HAVE PEOPLE SPENDING THIS MUCH FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW THEY SHOULD FIX

REAR PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT FIXTURE LED FAILED AS A RESULT OF FAILURE OF METAL CONTACT POINT WITHIN LED ENCLOSURE. ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET HOWEVER GMC HAS FAILED TO RESPONSE. VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 79,300 MILES. REPAIR COST WAS ESTIMATED AT $913.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. PRIOR TO THE CRASH, THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED, BUT THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER SERVICED AT MICK DONALD'S GMC(5155 STATE ST, SAGINAW, MI) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000(SERVICE BRAKES) IN WHICH THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED. AFTERWARDS, THE BRAKES OPERATED NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

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.

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.

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? [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
