2016 GMC YUKON Complaints

THE LED BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. THE LIGHT IS AN ENTIRE ASSEMBLY THAT OWNERS MUST REPLACE BY BUYING A NEW UNIT FOR $700. THE UNIT IS SUPPOSED TO LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. IT'S A DEFECTIVE PIECE THAT IS DIFFICULT AND EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE.

I DRIVE 2016 GMC YUKON, AND THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER REAR SIDE HAS GONE OUT ON IT. I READ ABOUT SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL TRUCK HAVING THIS ISSUE. I FEEL LIKE GMC SHOULD DO A RECALL BECAUSE MY VEHICLE ISN'T THREE YEARS OLD YET.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ALEXANDER BUICK GMC OF SIMI VALLEY (2100 FIRST ST, SIMI VALLEY, CA, (805) 582-6100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LED CONSOLE PANEL AND BULBS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. AROUND DECEMBER 17, 2018 I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY WHEN SEVERAL PEOPLE ADVISE ME MY LIGHT WAS OUT AND NOT WORKING. I CHECK IT ONCE ARRIVED AT HOME AND IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY AND DIDN'T PROBLEM. AND A WEEK LATER SAME ISSUE FROM PEOPLE PULLING ME OVER TO ADVISE ME MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT. AROUND JANUARY 10, 2019, I WENT IN TO HUTCHINSON AUTO MALL GMC DEALER AND THEY ADVISE ME EVERYTHING IS WORKING PROPERLY AND DOESN'T SEE A PROBLEM, AND ADVISE ME TO BRING BACK SHOULD I EXPERIENCE THE OUTAGE AGAIN. I INSPECT VEHICLE AS WELL AND SEEM NO PROBLEM. 23 JANUARY 19 SAME PROBLEM AND WENT BACK TO DEALER AND THEY DISCOVER THE OUTAGE AND ADVISE ME THE LED TAIL LIGHT STRIP WAS OUT AND NEED TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY. IT APPEARS THEIR SEEM TO BE A WIRING ISSUE WHERE THE LIGHT IS AND OUT. TO KEEP FROM A SERIOUS PROBLEM OR FIRE. REQUEST IMMEDIATELY INVESTIGATION. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO ADVISE ME THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

BRAKES FAIL AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN REVERSING SLOWLY. CAN REPLICATE PROBLEM. SEARCHED INTERNET AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE EVEN BEEN WRITTEN. WHY NO RECALL FOR A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES. . VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 50000 MILES.

TAIL LIGHT ISSUES. REPLACED DRIVER SIDE LIGHT APPROXIMATELY LESS THEN 6 MONTHS AGO AND PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT IS OUT. SAME ISSUES AS DRIVER SIDE LIGHT.

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PETAL AT LOW SPEEDS AND IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD TO PRESS AND VERY DIFFICULT TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM ALSO IS NOTICED WHEN BACKING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND INTO A PARKING SPOT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) IN 2016. COURTESY AUTOMOTIVE CENTER (2520 COHASSET RD, CHICO, CA 95973) STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. IT HAS HAPPENED TWO DAYS IN A ROW WITH NO WARNING AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT START. BATTERY IS GOOD AND ALTERNATOR IS GOOD. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED BOTH TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. SECURITY LIGHT WILL FLASH IN MY WINDSHIELD BUT TRUCK WILL NOT START. A MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY ON MY SCREEN SAYING "BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE".

BRAKES GET VERY HARD TO PUSH AND DO NOT WORK WELL WHEN GOING SLOW SPEEDS OR BACKING UP. UNABLE TO EVEN FIX AS I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER! SO I'M STUCK TRYING NOT TO CRASH WITH FAULTY VACUUM BRAKE PART! LEFT REAR SEAT MOTOR WORKS, BUT SMALL PLASTIC PART BROKE SO SEAT WORN MOVE AND IS STUCK IN ONE POSITION.
