2017 GMC YUKON Complaints

WHEN DRIVING OCCASIONALLY YOU HAVE TO PUSH REALLY HARD ON THE BRAKES TO STOP. 9/10 TIMES BRAKES WORK NORMAL BUT ONCE IN A WHILE YOU HAVE TO PRESS VERY HARD TO STOP. WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AT A VERY LOW SPEED BRAKES WERE HARD TO PRESS AND RAN INTO THE WALL OF THE GARAGE. BROUGHT TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND STILL NOT FIXED.

THE REAR PASSENGER LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED. NO LIGHTS WITHIN THE HOUSING ARE CURRENTLY WORKING. THE UNSAFE CONDITION EXISTS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AS IT HAS NO RUNNING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS OR TURN SIGNALS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR YUKON'S OF THIS YEAR, WHICH ARE STILL FAIRLY NEW.

DRIVING FROM PRESCOTT, AZ TO PHOENIX, AZ WITH MY HUSBAND AND 3 YEAR OLD SON. WE WERE HEADING EAST ON SR-69 WHEN WE WERE PULLED OVER. WE WERE INFORMED THAT OUR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WAS NON-OPERATIONAL. AFTER INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LIGHTS WORKED BUT NOT BREAK. A REPAIR ORDER WAS ISSUED. WE TOOK IT TO THE GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE WHOLE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING, WIRE, AND POTENTIALLY THE FUSE NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT IT WOULD COST $700. WE WERE ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT A THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL GMC YUKON OWNERS COME IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND THAT IT WAS A PART MALFUNCTION THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE COVERED BY OUT WARRANTY.

LOW SPEED BREAK FAILURE. IN MY DRIVEWAY, IN PARKINGLOTS, USUALLY AFTER HAVING FOOT ON BREAK TO "ROLL" AND THEN STOP AGAIN, NO BREAKS, OR HAVE TO PUT TWO FEET DOWN TO STOP. I HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF ME TWO DAYS AGO AFTER WAITING AT A RED LIGHT, STARTING TO ROLL BECAUSE THEY ROLLED, THEN THEY STOPPED, AND I HIT THE BREAK AND NOTHING HAPPENED. MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES TO BE LOOKED AT FOR THE BREAKS NOT WORKING FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS.

HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR NINETEEN MONTHS, 50,000 MILES, BROUGHT NEW, RIGHT BRAKE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR NOT AT ALL. THESE LIGHTS ARE COMPLETELY SEALED AND LIGHTS ARE NOT REPLACEABLE, EXCEPT REVERSE BULB. GONE OVER 30,000 MILES SO WARRANTEE NOT COVERED. DEALERSHIP WANTS RIDICULOUS PRICE FOR REPLACEMENT. WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS? LIGHTS NEED TO BE CHANGED SOONER OR LATER? ISN'T IT EASIER TO CHANGE A BULB RATHER THEN AN ENTIRE EXPENSIVE UNIT?

THE WHOLE BACK TAIL LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER FAILING. POOR DESIGN AND A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2015-2017 GMC YUKONS. THERE IS A COMMON AREA THAT BREAKS. NOT ONLY A BIG EXPENSE BUT ALSO A LARGE WASTE OF MATERIAL CONSIDERING THE WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED. COST IS OVER $800.00 AND THE DEALER BUYS BACK THE OLD LIGHT FOR $50 SEEMS A BIT SUSPICIOUS BY GMC. THESE LAMPS ARE A SEALED UNIT AND WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO BE REPAIRED. AS DESIGNED, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THE LAMP IS REPLACED AS A COMPLETE AND VERY EXPENSIVE UNIT.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY TO PARK IN GARAGE AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP CORRECTLY, ALMOST RESULTING IN ME HITTING MY GARAGE DOOR PILLAR. AS I BACKED UP, STARTED TO PULL FORWARD INTO MY GARAGE STALL, VEHICLE BREAK PEDAL WAS HARD AND CAR WOULD NOT STOP, AGAIN ALMOST HITTING MY FRONT WALL. SAME THING HAPPENS GOING IN REVERSE. BRAKE POWER WOULD COME AND GO. FEELS AS THOUGH FRONT RIGHT BREAK WOULD LOCK BUT NOT STOP, AND EVENTUALLY ALL STOPPING POWER WOULD GO AWAY.

PURCHASED A USED 2017 GMC YUKON DENALI WITH ALMOST 36,000 MILES. 4 DAYS AFTER THE PURCHASE MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. NEXT MORNING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT, VERY SLOW MOVING (COULDN'T GO FASTER THAN 45 MILES PER HOUR), VERY SHAKY, LOUD, FELT LIKE IT WAS EITHER GOING TO DIE ON ME OR BLOW UP. HAD ONSTAR CHECK IT OUT WITH SEVERAL ISSUES REPORTED, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY. 3 FUEL INJECTORS WERE FAILING AND WERE REPLACED STILL UNDER WARRANTY. FUEL INJECTOR #3 WAS REPLACED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE AND NOW AGAIN REPLACED ALONG WITH INJECTOR #5 & #8. 2 WEEKS LATER ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. DROVE OK, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, FUEL INJECTOR #1 NOW GOING OUT. PARTS ON BACK ORDER....GOT A CALL THIS MORNING THAT PARTS ARE IN (HAD TO WAIT OVER A WEEK). I AM NOW OVER THE 36,000 MILES AND WILL THEREFORE BE PAYING TO REPLACE THIS INJECTOR. OPTED TO HAVE ALL THE OTHER INJECTORS REPLACED AS WELL. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE AS IT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. I AM A SINGLE MOM AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE, WHICH THIS VEHICLE IS LESS THAN RELIABLE. HAD THIS VEHICLE A MONTH AND ITS BEEN NOTHING BUT A HEADACHE AND IN THE SHOP 3 TIMES. THESE ISSUES MUST BE COMMON SINCE THE FUEL INJECTORS WERE ON BACKORDER AND THIS PROBLEM SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - THE VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY STATING THAT THE SIDE DETECTION IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE. WHEN DISCUSSING WITH THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IT IS HAPPENING WITH ALL THE MODELS THAT HAVE SIDE DETECTION SENSORS. THE SENSORS ARE FAILING AND WILL LEAD TO THE VEHICLE NOT STARTING AT ALL IF IT IS NOT REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANNER AFTER SEEING THE NOTIFICATION ON THE DASH. THEY ARE REQUIRING THE CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ACROSS MODELS AND NOT SPECIFIC TO ONE MODEL VEHICLE.

2017 YUKON (ONLY BEEN IN USE FOR 19 MONTHS) DS BRAKELIGHT ASSEMBLY (RED LED OUTTER RING) STOPPED WORKING.
