2016 GMC YUKON Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS LATER TAKEN TO JIM TAYLOR CHEVROLET (139 GRIMSHAW ST, RAYVILLE, LA 71269, (318) 303-6475) WHERE A DRIVING TEST WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT AND IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE WITHIN 2 TO 4 YEARS OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP (OFTEN BOTH SIDES GO OUT). IN MY CASE, THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT. TOTAL COST FOR ME WAS $850. THERE ARE MANY COMMENTS REGARDING THIS ONLINE. TYPICAL COST TO REPAIR IS $700 TO $800 AT DEALERSHIP. ONLY OTHER OPTION TO REDUCE COST IS TO MAIL OUT PART, BUT THIS LEAVES YOU WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL DAYS FOR REPAIR AND DELIVERY TIME.

BRAKE LIGHTS ARE SHORTING OUT CAUSING THEM TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY. CIRCUIT IS BROKEN INSIDE THE SEALED PORTION OF THE LIGHT PREVENTING REPAIR.

THE TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING AND CANNOT CHANGE OUT THE LED BULBS, IT IS A BREAK SOME WHERE THE THE WIRING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REMEDY SHOULD INCLUDE REPLACING THE ENGINE VACUUM PUMP INSTEAD OF REPROGRAMMING THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CONTACT'S CONCERNS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE TAILIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT KEEP GOING BAD. IT WORKS HALF THE TIME. I WILL CHECK IT AND IT'S WORKING THEN I HIT A BUMP AND PEOPLE TELL ME IT'S NOT WORKING. I HIT ANOTHER BUMP I LOOK AND IT WORKING. AFTER REPLACING IT ONCE ALREADY HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND THEY WANT ANOTHER $1000 TO FIX IT BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME GMC NOW HAS A BETTER REPLACEMENT FOR IT. IF THEY HAVE A BETTER BUILT OPTION THEN GMC SHOULD BE MADE TO CHANGE LIGHTS ON ALL OF THEM BEFORE SOME ONE GETS KILLED.

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.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY ANOTHER DRIVER MY PASSENGER REAR TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. THERE IS NO NOTIFICATION ON THE DASHBOARD TO ALERT DRIVERS. THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT WAS WORKING. I CONTINUED TO CHECK IT PERIODICALLY AND FIGURED IT WAS A FLUKE. I WAS STOPPED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING THAT THE LIGHT WAS OUT ROUGHLY A WEEK LATER. AFTER LOOKING INTO REPAIR THE COST IS RIDICULOUS $650-$800+ AND IT APPEARS TO BE A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS ACTUALLY IN A PARKING LOT AND SAW A VEHICLE EXACTLY LIKE MINE SAME LIGHT OUT. NOT SURE WHY LIGHTS ARE GOING OUT IN A THREE YEAR OLD VEHICLE JUST HITTING 40000 MILES.
