2016 GMC YUKON Complaints

I TOOK MY CAR INTO A GMC DEALER DUE TO A FUNNY NOISE. I HAD TO PAY $800 TO REPLACE MY BRAKE VACUUM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BRAKING PROPERLY PRIOR TO THIS FIX.

I WAS ON THE RAMP GOING APPROX. 45-50 MPH ACCELERATING TO BE ABLE TO TURN ONTO THE 70 MPH HIGHWAY WHEN MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. IT WAS LIKE A GUN WENT OFF IN MY VEHICLE. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH AS GLASS WAS FALLING ON ME. I SHUT THE INSIDE PROTECTOR AND LOOKED AROUND AND THERE WERE NO PEOPLE, TRUCKS, CARS OR OVERPASS AROUND. THERE IS GLASS ALL OVER THE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE. THE PIECES CONTINUED TO FALL THE REST OF MY TRIP. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY AND THE GUY SAID HE NEVER HEARD OF IT. GMC HEADQUARTERS WAS NO HELP EITHER. I HAVE READ THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

BRAKE LIGHT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN YOU DON'T IF THEY ARE WORK OR NOT

REAR TAIL LIGHT / BRAKE LIGHT QUIT WORKING WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS DENIED COVERED. THE UNIT IS A COMPLETE LED ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE PRICE QUOTED WAS $700 FOR THE ASSEMBLY. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OWNERS WHO SUDDENLY HAVE NO TAIL OR BRAKE LIGHTS ON THEIR NEW/NEWER VEHICLES.

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS HAVE CEASED TO FUNCTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER. GMC STATES THAT THE ORIGINAL PARTS WERE DEFECTIVE, BUT WILL NOT COVER REPAIR. EACH LIGHT COSTS ~$700 PLUS LABOR. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

THE BACK MASSAGER TAIL LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. TO REPLACE THE LIGHT (ONE LIGHT), I WAS QUOTED $750.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERED AND FAILED TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. THE RPM GAUGE WAS ERRATIC AND FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MARVIN K. BROWN AUTO CENTER (1441 CAMINO DEL RIO SOUTH, AUTO CIR, SAN DIEGO, CA 92108) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT A POWER TRAIN WARRANTY PROVISION WAS NOT AN AVAILABLE OPTION AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT ISSUED A POWER TRAIN RECALL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER AND HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,268.

VACUUM PUMP WENT OUT ON MY VEHICLE RESULTING IN ALMOST BEING HIT BY A SEMI TRAVELING 65MPH. I HAD TO CALL A WRECKER TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE AND HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE. I PAID OUT OF POCKET FOR THE WRECKER AND THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE VACUUM PUMP WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AT 38,633 MILES. I WAS LEAVING A DRIVEWAY AT A SLOW SPEED TO TURN ONTO A FARM TO MARKET ROAD AND MY BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK.

THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENED, FIRST TWO TIMES MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING(HE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF ANY PROBLEMS) AND WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME IT WAS SCARY. I HAD MY KIDS IN THE CAR, NO INJURIES AND NO ONE WAS HURT, THANK GOD. I WAS GOING THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU STOPPED AT THE FIRST WINDOW, ACCELERATED TO NEXT WINDOW (LOW SPEED) AND DIDN'T STOP... IT WAS THE LIKE THE BRAKES LOCKED UP, COULDN'T PRESS DOWN AT ALL. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, SAME THING DIDN'T KNOW OF ANY ISSUES. WELL I GOOGLED IT AND IT IS UNDER INVESTIGATION, SO I KINDLY PRINTED OFF ALL THE ARTICLES SO THEY COULD LET OTHER CUSTOMERS KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE (THEY DIDN'T CARE TO KEEP THAT BUT DID ADMIT THEY KNEW THERE HAD BEEN SOME ISSUES). OF COURSE MY CAR IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY SO THEY SAID I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ISSUES. AGAIN, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! THEY SHOULD BE PAYING FOR IT AND THANKING THERE LUCKY STARS NO ONE WAS INJURED. THE TOTAL CAME TO $950, THEY ASKED IF I WANTED THEM TO FIX THE PUMP, BELT AND BELT KIT (I ASKED IF THIS WAS THE ISSUE OTHERS WERE HAVING AND HE SAID HE BELIEVES SO). WHAT WAS I GOING TO SAY NO? DID I REALLY HAVE AN OPTION?? THE BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING!!!! KIND OF A BIG DEAL!! OF COURSE I WOULD LIKE THEM TO PAY ME BACK (THEY DID GIVE ME A CREDIT OF $208) BUT I DO BELIEVE THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.

FAULTY TAIL LIGHT HOUSING, RESULTS IN TAIL/BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. NOT THE RESULT OF DAMAGE, SIMPLY BAD DESIGN IN THE LED HOUSING AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS. THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WAS POORLY CONSTRUCTED, AND THE ONLY FIX IS TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING AT $750 INCLUDING LABOR.
