2015 GMC YUKON Complaints

I HAVE NOW HAD MY 3RD LED LIGHT GO OUT ON MY YUKON XL 2015 THE FIRST WAS THE PASSENGER HEAD LIGHT THEN THE PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT AND NOW THE DRIVER TAIL LIGHT

WE HAD A TAILLIGHT GO OUT AT 70,000 MILES. THE WHOLE UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WE PAID OVER $900 THROUGH A GMC DEALER. THEN WE HAD THE OTHER TAILLIGHT GO OUT AT 88,000 MILES. IT COST $1000 TO REPAIR. WE'VE RECENTLY REASEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE EXTREMELY COMMON ON THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AND MOST PEOPLE AND REPUTABLE ELECTRICIANS HAVE STATED THAT IT'S A RESULT OF A FAULTY PART IN THE UNIT.

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHEN PARKING, AND DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SOEEDV( 60 MPH)ON INTERSTATE IN SUDDEN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE AFTER WORKING PROPERLY BEFORE AND AGAIN AFTER WITH MORE THAN A MONTH BETWEEN INCIDENTS . THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 12/31/18 AFTER THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE THAT INCLUDED A MULTI POINT INSPECTION AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW. THE VEHICLE IS FREQUENTLY SERVICED AS REQUIRED AND HAS TIRES WITH GOOD TREAD . THE FAILURE IS ALARMING AS IT OFTEN COMES WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A NECESSARY STOP AND THE FAILURE COMES OUT OF THE BLUE THEN RETURNS TO NORMAL. THIS OCCURRENCE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY SINCE THE MATTER IS LITERALLY A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED OUT AND WILL UPDATE THE DEALERSHIP FINDINGS .

THE VEHICLE'S TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY ON BOTH THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER'S SIDES ARE DEFECTIVE. THE SOLDER DOES NOT HOLD AND THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY. THE DRIVER IS TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THIS MAJOR ISSUE THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS OF GMC'S YUKON'S AND DENALI'S WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAFETY PROBLEM. I REALIZED THE PROBLEM WHEN ANOTHER MOTORIST ALMOST STRUCK THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE WERE NOT BRAKE LIGHTS AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AND BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. THE SIGNAL LIGHTS WILL STILL WORK.

WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT TODAY BY SOMEONE TELLING US OUR TAIL LIGHT WAS BLINKING AND GOING OUT. OUR VEHICLE ONLY HAS 65000 MILES! I WOULD THINK A LED LIGHT SHOULD NOT GO OUT YET. MY VEHICLE SITS UNDER A CARPORT WHEN NOT IN USE. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM FOR SAME YEAR MODEL

AT SLOW SPEED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE BRAKES WILL WORK ONE TIME AND THE NEXT TIME I WOULD HAVE TO STOMP THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GET THE SUV TO STOP IT WAS ON A STREET WHEN IT HAPPENED I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT FLOW GMC OF WINSTON-SALEM MULTIPLE TIMES AND CAN'T GET ANYONE TO TALK TO ME

POWER BRAKES FAILING AT LOW SPEEDS-IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC-PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY REQUIRES STRONG PRESSING ON BRAKE PEDAL AS IF THE BRAKES ARE INTERMITTENTLY LOOSING POWER ASSIST

LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT QUIT WORKING, I WAS ABLE TO BREAK THE COVER OFF AND SOLDERED THE LED MOUNTING STRIP,. RIGHT SIDE QUIT WORKING SO I BROKE THE COVER OFF BUT THIS TIME IT WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED. SOLDERED IT. LEFT SIDE QUIT WORKING AGAIN SO I REPLACED BOTH SIDES WITH AFTERMARKET UNITS. DATE BELOW IS JUST TO FILL THE SPACE. IT WAS AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED AND OVER ABOUT 6 MONTHS TIME.

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS SPECIFICALLY WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED RATE SUCH AS SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC OR PULLING IN OR BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. THE BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND THE BRAKES DO NOT ENGAGE. YOU MUST PUSH THE BRAKES VERY HARD TO STOP. WE TOOK TO THE GM SERVICE AT OUR DEALERSHIP AND A BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP. THANKFULLY WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT AND WERE ABLE TO STOP AGAINST BUMPER STOP. WE CALLED THE GM SERVICE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARRANGED FOR A TOW. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

INTERMITTENT FAILED PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT ON A 2015 YUKON, WORKS OCCASIONALLY. QUOTED 650$ TO REPAIR POORLY MANUFACTURED LED LIGHTS!
