2016 GMC YUKON Complaints

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED @ 32K MILES. VEHICLE ALMOST UN-RIDEABLE DUE TO ROUGH RIDE & TERRIBLE VIBRATION. TOOK TO GMC DEALER, THEY REPLACED ONE FRONT SHOCK (COMPLETELY LEAKED OUT) AND ONE BAD RIM. TRUCK STILL RIDES EXTREMELY ROUGH & HAS A VIBRATION BETWEEN 35-55 MPH. ALMOST UNBEARABLE ON LONGER RIDES. TIRES ARE BRAND NEW. DEALER SAYS THAT IT IS WITHIN SPEC. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL ON A $75K MSRP "LUXURY" SUV!

READ LED BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING. BECAUSE THEY ARE A SEALED UNIT, CANNOT CHANGE THE BULB, NEED TO REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. DEALER IS QUOTING $831 PER ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE, FOR A TOTAL OF $1662. GM IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR IS JUST OVER 4K MILES OVER WARRANTY MILEAGE. I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED BY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR JUST TO "REPLACE THE BULBS". THERE ARE THIRD PARTY SERVICES THAT REPAIR THIS COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE UNITS: HTTP://WWW.LEDFIX.COM/YUKONTAILLIGHTREPAIR.HTML HTTPS://WWW.YUKONTAILLIGHTREPAIR.COM/ OTHER GMC OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/GMC/YUKON/2015/LIGHTS/TAILLIGHT_NOT_WORKING_PROPERLY.SHTML ATTACHED IS A COPY OF MY SERVICE INVOICE WITH THE DEALERS QUOTE. I HAVE ALREADY CONTACTED GM TWICE ABOUT THIS. THE REFERENCE NUMBER FOR EACH CALL ARE 8-4782652601 AND 9-4950899453. HOW IS THIS ISSUE NOT A RECALL? WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO GET GM TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES? THANK YOU.

THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED AT SLOW SPEED OR BACKING A SOLID/STUCK BRAKE PEDAL THAT WOULDN'T MOVE. THE PEDAL WAS BASICALLY STUCK, NOT MOVING AT ALL. THIS OCCURRED COMING TO A STOP AT LIKE AN INTERSECTION OR AS STATED BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. IT FELT AS IF THE TRUCK WOULDN'T STOP AND NO MATTER HOW HARD THE PEDAL WAS PUSHED IT WOULDN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS.

BEGINNING AROUND 70K MILES, MY WIFE COMPLAINED OF BRAKES NOT WORKING AT LOW SPEED IN PARKING LOTS, ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE, WITH VERY HARD PEDAL, OCCASIONAL OCCURRING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING, OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AT GAS STATION AT VERY LOW SPEED DURING STOP OVER ON A LONG ROAD TRIP AT 80K MILES. UPON TAKING TO GM DEALERSHIP FOR ANOTHER ISSUE, GM SERVICE TECHNICIAN VERIFIED THE CONCERN. VACUUM PUMP REPLACED ON 12/14/18. FEW MILES SINCE BUT TEST DRIVING HAS NOT HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE. VEHICLE FAILURE CONFIRMATION AND REPAIR DONE AT JOE BOWMAN CHEVROLET IN HARRISONBURG, VA.

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.

LOW SPEED BRAKE FAILURE: AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME FIRM AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP IN AN APPROPRIATE TIME. THIS LED TO TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN A LINE OF CARS THAT WAS STOP AND GO PICKING UP CHILDREN AT AFTER SCHOOL. SERIOUS CONCERN THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP AND INJURE CHILDREN TRYING TO LOAD OR UNLOAD. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO OCCUR ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS ONLY.

DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (5 MPH OR BELOW) THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND OFFERED LITTLE PRESS. PRESSING THE PEDAL EXTREMELY HARD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SINGLE DAY, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IN TRAFFIC AND DID CAUSE ME TO BUMP INTO OUR GARAGE WALL. WHEN A I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED, THE VACUUM PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. OUR VEHICLE AS 39,800 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT: TECHNICAL BULLETIN PIT5361B EXISTS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS RECENTLY BEEN FILED (HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2018/GM-BRAKE-VACUUM-PUMP-FAILURES-LAWSUIT.SHTML) A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS MULTIPLE SIMILAR ISSUES. COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $900 AT GMC DEALER.

VERY STRONG SMELL OF A GAS LEAK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. NO MATTER THE FUEL LEVEL, RUNNING OR STOPPED FOR HOURS.

BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT AT 58K MILES, IT'S AN LED LIGHT AND SHOULD NOT GO OUT THAT FAST. UPON RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT EFFECTING 2015-2017 GMC YUKONS. AT NO POINT DID MY CAR ALERT ME OF THE ISSUE, LUCKILY SOMEONE POINTED IT OUT TO ME BEFORE IT CAUSED A WRECK

REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT STOP WORKING, VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE SO SOON OR AT ALL, SINCE LED LIGHTS NORMALLY DONT STOP WORKING. I ALSO LOOKED INTO FIXING IT AND ITS GONNA COST $700 DOLLARS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
