2015 GMC YUKON Complaints

PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT INCONSISTANLY WILL WORK ONE DAY THEN STOP WORKING. THE NEXT DAY IT WILL BE WORKING AGAIN. THE BRAKE LIGHT IS AN LED STRIP AND CANNOT BE REPLACED. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR MONTHS AND THE CAR HAS 10K MILES. WE NEVER KNOW IF AND WHEN THE LIGHT WILL BE WORKING. I HAVE BEEN TAKING PICTURES DOCUMENTING THE BRAKE LIGHT AND IT APPEARS TO WORK FOR 2 WEEKS THEN GOES OUT FOR A WEEK AND THEN COMES BACK ON FOR TWO WEEKS.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS CONTINUOUSLY WORK AND THEN DON'T WORK. THERE IS A MALFUNCTION WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN THESE CARS. PLEASE REPORT YOUR ISSUES SO GM CAN STOP ROBBING US.

REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. INTERNET SEARCHES INDICATE THAT IT IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH MANY COMPLAINTS. MOST NOTABLE IS THE DEALER COST TO REPLACE - $600 - $800 PER FIXTURE DUE TO IT BEING A SEALED UNIT AFTER WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. A RECALL IS DEFINITELY IN ORDER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LAMP FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEAMAN BUICK GMC (LOCATED AT 1531 BROADWAY, NASHVILLE, TN) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY MALFUNCTIONED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY PREVIOUSLY FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.

THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT AND RUNNING LIGHT HAS GONE OUT. APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. YOU CAN'T REPLACE THE BULB LIKE OLDER CARS. YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE WHOLE BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR $700!!! GM KNOWS ABOUT THE COMMON ISSUE BUT IS NOT COVERING IT.

REAR BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY FOR BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE WORK INTERMITTENTLY. WE HAVE ALREADY REPLACED THE RIGHT SIDE FOR A COST OF $600.00 FOR THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY ONLY.

WHEN USING STEERING TO TURN AROUND, TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE OR BACK IN, 'PARKING ASSIST OFF' SHOW UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THEN THE STEERING WHEELS LOCKS AND THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE STILL ENGAGED IN DRIVE. SOMETIMES 'BRAKE ASSIST' COMES ON FIRST. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, UNABLE TO TURN STEERING WHEEL. CAR SHUTS DOWN AND DOORS LOCK. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT DOES IT MORE THAN ONCE AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A GMC DEALER FOR EVALUATION AND REPAIR. HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 DIFFERENT TIMES. WHEN DRIVING, I AM ALWAYS AFRAID TO MAKE SHARP TURNS. HOWEVER, IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN TRYING TO TURN IN TO A DRIVEWAY OR TURN AROUND SUCH AS IN A PARKING LOT. *DT CONSUMER STATED AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO GMC DEALER AND BEING TOLD MY VEHICLE NEEDED A SORTWARE UPDATE, MY CAR WENT A FEW WEEKS WITHOUT AN EPISODE UNTIL THIS EVENING AT 7:52PM EASTERN TIME, WHILE BACKING IN TO MY DRIVEWAY. THE STEERING WHEEL KICKED IN PLACE AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND DOORS LOCKED, LEAVING ME OUT IN THE STREET, UNABLE TO CONTROL MY CAR FOR SECONDS. UPDATED 10/18/18*JB UPDATED 10/26/18*JB

THE PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO BUY A NEW BRAKE LIGHT UNIT @ $650. AFTER SEARCHING ON LINE, OTHER OPTIONS ARE TO SEND BRAKE LIGHT UNIT OFF FOR REPAIR, OR PURCHASE AFTER MARKET BRAKE LIGHT UNIT. AS MANY PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, IT SURE SEEMS LIKE GMC WOULD CORRECT THIS FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT.

BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHTS (BRAKE AND RUNNING LIGHTS) ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE PASSENGER SIDE ISN'T WORKING ALL TOGETHER AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL SOMETIMES BE ON AND OTHER TIMES NOT. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $679 EACH SIDE FOR REPLACEMENTS. THIS SEEMS LIKE QUITE A BIG EXPENSE FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS.

RIGHT TAIL LIGHT (ONLY RED LIGHT) DOESN'T WORK. REVERSE LIGHT WORKS AND SIGNAL LIGHT WORKS ALL THE TIME BUT RED PART DOESN'T. IT WORKS AND THEN IT DOESN'T. IT DOES IT RANDOMLY.
