2015 GMC YUKON Complaints

THE REAR TAILLIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HOUSING UNIT AT $1500. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GMC.

AT SLOWER SPEED, BRAKES BECOME STIFF AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. THE BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AS NORMAL AND INSTEAD STOPPED ABOUT 1/4 OF THE WAY AND WAS SOLID EVEN WHEN PRESSING BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE. ALMOST REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BUT SINCE I WAS AT SUCH A SLOW RATE OF SPEED I WAS ABLE TO ROLL A FEW FEET AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. I HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF AND START IT BACK UP AND IT SEEMED TO WORK FINE BUT THE NEXT TIME I WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE SLOW RATE OF SPEED, THE BRAKES THEN AGAIN WERE VERY HARD TO PRESS. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL THIS PROBLEM IS TAKEN CARE OF. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE 5 DAYS UNTIL THEY COULD GET TO IT - DISAPPOINTED IN THAT CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH THE STEERING, ELECTRICAL AND POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL. I HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE STABILITY CONTROL TURNING OFF, SUDDEN DROP IN ELECTRICAL POWER, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS VIOLENTLY YANKED OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND SOMETIME THE CAR COMPLETELY CUTS OFF. FORTUNATELY MOST HAVE BEEN AT SLOW SPEEDS OR ELSE THE CAR WOULD HAVE FLIPPED. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I AM AFRAID OF THIS ISSUE KILLING ME OR MY LOVED ONES SHOULD IT HAPPEN AT SPEED OR LEAVE US STUCK IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER THIS IS AN ISSUE THE MANUFACTURE HAS KNOW ABOUT FOR A WHILE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY STIFF AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,200.

THE SUNROOF OF MY 2015 GMC YUKON SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NORMAL SPEED WITH A FEW NORMAL SIZED VEHICLES AND NO OVERPASSES NEARBY.

2015 YUKON PASSENGER LED TAIL LIGHT HAS FAILED. VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, AND IN ADDITION TO THE TAIL LIGHT FAILURE, HAVE HAD 3 AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILURES TO DATE. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THE TAIL LIGHT HAS BEEN INOPERABLE AS THERE WAS NO WARNING OR INDICATOR TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER OF A TAIL LIGHT PROBLEM. I ONLY DISCOVERED THIS PROBLEM WHILE FOLLOWING MY WIFE IN ANOTHER VEHICLE AS SHE WAS DRIVING THE YUKON. LOOKING AT THE COMPLAINTS LODGED ON BOTH ISSUES, I'M BEGINNING TO SERIOUSLY QUESTION GM'S RELIABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR VEHICLE AND PARTS. ALWAYS THOUGHT LEDS WERE MORE RELIABLE, BUT LOOKING AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS LODGED, MY ASSUMPTIONS ARE APPARENTLY WRONG. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH ON YUKON TAIL LIGHT REPAIR ALSO SHOWS A COTTAGE INDUSTRY IN REPAIRING THESE LED TAIL LIGHTS HAS POPPED UP, WHICH INDICATES A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND RELIABILITY OF THESE TAIL LIGHTS. IF THESE BUSINESSES ADVERTISE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THEIR REPAIRS, WHY CAN'T GM MAKE THE NECESSARY MODIFICATIONS TO THEIR TAIL LIGHTS TO IMPROVE THEIR RELIABILITY. ANY REASONABLE SEARCH SHOWS THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS ISSUE, SO WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM. WITH NO NOTIFICATION TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE OF A TAIL LIGHT ISSUE, THIS WOULD SEEM TO ME TO BE A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND OR INJURIES/FATALITIES FROM ONE OR BOTH TAIL LIGHT FAILURES. IF LEDS ARE LESS RELIABLE THAN THE OLDER INCANDESCENT BULBS, THEN GO BACK TO THE OLDER STYLE BULBS THAT A VEHICLE OWNER CAN REPLACE FOR A FEW DOLLARS INSTEAD OF FORCING OWNERS TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHTS EVERY FEW YEARS AT $600-$750 PER INSTANCE. VERY CONCERNING AND UNSAFE. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY.

AIR CONDITIONER HAS FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 18 MONTHS WE'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE. FIRST REPAIR 18 MONTHS AGO RESULTED IN "DEFECTIVE AIR CONDITIONING LINES" THAT WERE LEAKING, AND WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP (COVERED BY AFTERMARKET EXTENDED WARRANTY). SECOND FAILURE OCCURRED JUNE 2018, AND SAME DEALERSHIP STATED COMPRESSOR DEVELOPED CRACKS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED (FORTUNATELY STILL UNDER AFTERMARKET EXTENDED WARRANTY). NOW, BEGINNING OF NOVEMBER 2018, SYSTEM HAS FAILED FOR A THIRD TIME AND IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS FROM THE LATEST "REPAIR", AND UNFORTUNATELY MY EXTENDED AFTERMARKET WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I CAN UNDERSTAND A SYSTEM FAILURE ONCE, HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME WITH A SECOND FAILURE OF THE SAME SYSTEM WITHIN 3 YEARS, BUT QUESTION THE DEALERSHIP'S ABILITY TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX A PROBLEM AFTER A THIRD FAILURE IN AS MANY YEARS OF THE SAME SYSTEM. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE VEHICLE ITSELF, BUT QUESTIONING GM'S RELIABILITY AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. I PURCHASED A NEW ESCALADE AND LOADED SILVERADO FROM THIS DEALERSHIP NEW AND HAD A FEW MINOR PROBLEMS WITH THOSE VEHICLES THAT THE DEALERSHIP FIXED. AFTER Y EARS OF OWNING THOSE, PURCHASED A NEWER MODEL ESCALADE AND HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS THAT SEEMED UNUSUAL FOR THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. I'VE HAD MY CURRENT YUKON IN THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER FOUR TIMES IN THE 22 MONTHS I'VE OWNED IT, AND HAVE BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN THE APPARENT DOWNTURN IN GM RELIABILITY AND WILLINGNESS TO STAND BEHIND THEIR CARS. IN ADDITION TO THE AC PROBLEM, HAVE ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY ENCOUNTERED A PASSENGER SIDE LED TAIL LIGHT FAILURE, WHICH AT AN APPROXIMATE $750 REPAIR MEANS THAT ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE, I APPARENTLY NEED TO BUDGET $250 PER YEAR TO ENSURE MY TAIL LIGHTS WORK. AGAIN, LOVE THE RIDE AND HANDLING OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT SINCE RELIABILITY APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH GM, MAY HAVE TO BEGIN LOOKING AT ANOTHER BRAND OF VEHICLE THAT IS MORE RELIABLE.

HAD RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT REPLACED IN WARRANTY. THE LEFT REAR IS NOW OUT. THIS IS A DRIVING SAFETY ISSUE FM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR

WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR CITY DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND LITTLE TO NO BRAKING POWER. BRAKES ARE FINE AT HIGH WAY SPEEDS.

LED BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT QUICKLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD. MULTIPLE ONLINE COMPLAINTS OF SAME ISSUE TO THE POINT THAT MULTIPLE BUSINESSES ADVERTISE ABOUT THIS SPECIFIC FIX. DEALERSHIP WANTS $1500 FOR REPAIR OF BOTH AND DESPITE ONLINE ADVERTISEMENTS THEY DENY THIS IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE WHATEVER THE CAUSE IT BYPASSES THE DASHBOARD ALARM. YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT VIA ACCIDENT, COLLISION, OR BY RECEIVING A TICKET.
