2015 GMC YUKON Complaints

ON FEBRUARY 10, 2016, WE WERE DRIVING ON I-25 HEADED TO ARIZONA FOR A VACATION. AS WE WERE JUST ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF SANTA FE, NM, WE HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND IT SOUNDED LIKE OUR ENTIRE CAR WAS BLOWING UP. WE WERE DRIVING AT 75 MPH AND THERE WERE NO OTHER CARS CLOSE TO US. WE STARTED HEARING GLASS BOUNCING AROUND ON THE SUNROOF CURTAIN AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS OUR SUNROOF THAT HAD EXPLODED. WE PULLED INTO THE FIRST EXIT IN SANTA FE AND CHECKED THE CAR AND THE GLASS APPEARED TO HAVE EXPLODED UPWARDS. WE DROVE TO THE NEXT GAS STATION AND PULLED OUT ALL THE LARGE PIECES AND VACUUMED UP WHAT WE COULD OF THE SMALL PIECES. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAD TO END OUR VACATION AND WE TURNED AROUND AND DROVE HOME THE SAME DAY. ALL WE COULD HEAR ON THE WAY HOME WAS GLASS BOUNCING AROUND AND THE ROAD NOISE. WE CONTACTED GMC AND THEY SAID WE SHOULD CLAIM THROUGH OUR INSURANCE. EVENTUALLY, THEY RELENTED AND REPLACED THE SUNROOF. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING WITH MANY MAKES OF VEHICLES NOT JUST GMCS. IT APPEARS THERE ARE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES WITH SUNROOFS. IF PICTURES ARE NEEDED, WE TOOK SEVERAL AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE. THANK YOU FOR ADDRESSING THE ISSUES WITH SUNROOFS. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND THIS IS A VEHICLE THAT WE PURCHASED FOR ROAD TRIPS AS WE HAVE TWO OTHER VEHICLES WHICH ARE OUR EVERY DAY VEHICLES. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING WE HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. *TR

CRACK DEVELOPED AT EDGE OF WINDSHIELD AT DEICER STRIP. NO APPARRENT CAUSE SUCH AS ROCK DAMAGE. GMC WILL NOT COVER THIS REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. MY WIFE'S 2015 SUBARU OUTBACK RECEIVED A WARRANTY EXTENSION NOTICE FOR THIS VERY DEFECT STATING THAT "DURING THE MFG PROCESS CERTAIN COMPOUNDS USED TO ADHERE THE DEICER TO THE WINDSHIELD CREATED A CONDITION WHERE THE GLASS BECAME MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CRACKING FOLLOWING A MINOR WOUND." I'M QUITE CERTAIN THIS DEFECT IS THE PROBLEM WITH MY YUKON. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SUBARU AND GMC WINDSHIELDS ARE PROVIDED BY THE SAME SUB-CONTRACTOR?

EARLIER THIS YEAR I PURCHASED A 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI. AFTER DRIVING IT A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME I REALIZED THE BRAKE PEDAL IS LOCATED SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THE GAS PEDAL. I'VE COME TO REALIZE THAT THE ~4INCH GAP IS CAUSING A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY IN EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATIONS. MY FOOT, ALONG WITH OTHERS IN THE POST LINKED BELOW, OFTEN GETS CAUGHT IN THE LARGE GAP BETWEEN THE GAS AND THE BRAKE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MOVING QUICKLY. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INSTANCES TO DATE WHERE THE SOLE OF MY SHOES HAS GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL, PREVENTING ME FROM STOPPING IN TIME. I'VE NARROWLY AVOIDED AT LEAST 5 ACCIDENTS, BECAUSE OF THIS. FEARING THAT IT IS A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT RESULTS IN A COLLISION I REACHED OUT TO GMC TO SEE IF THERE WAS A FIX. THEY RESPONDED AND SAID THAT THE PEDALS ARE WORKING AS DESIGNED AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THEIR RESPONSE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE CLEAR SAFETY HAZARD IT CREATES. IT IS A LARGE CAR, REQUIRING MORE BRAKING DISTANCE THAN MOST. ANY IMPEDANCE TO THE PROCESS SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A MANUFACTURER DESIGN FLAW SUCH AS THIS. SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN VOICED IN THIS ONLINE CONSUMER THREAD. ONE OF MANY THAT I FOUND REITERATING THE PROBLEM. HTTP://WWW.TAHOEYUKONFORUM.COM/THREADS/GAS-BRAKE-PEDAL-DISTANCE.67500/

TRANSFER CASE FAILURE CAUSING MULTIPLE OTHER COMPONENT / SYSTEM-WIDE FAILURES INCLUDING ADVANCE SAFETY FEATURES, ENGINE POWER REDUCTION, 4 WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM FAILURE, BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY FAILURE, RADIO FAILURE, TRACTION CONTROL FAILURE AND MORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AND AXLE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A FRACTURED FINGER AND CEREBRAL HEMORRHAGING, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL IN ORDER TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE ABOUT WHAT PART WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION WHEN GOING BETWEEN 60-70 MILES PER HOUR ON HIGHWAY. THE VIBRATION STARTS AND STOPS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. VIBRATION LAST ABOUT TWO SECONDS EACH TIME. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER THEY SAID THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY RECALL THAT GMC WAS TRYING TO FIX. CURRENTLY NO PART IS AVAILABLE TO FIX VEHICLE. INSTRUCTED TO JUST KEEP DRIVING VEHICLE WITH THE VIBRATION UNTIL A PART IS ISSUED.

WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN THE RAIN, WATER POOLS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WINDOW AT THE BOTTOM FRONT OF THE WINDOW BLOCKING THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF EITHER SIDE VIEW MIRROR. I WENT TO THE DEALER IN CARSON CITY NV, AND SERVICE DIRECTOR STATED THEY HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH TRUCKS SINCE 2007 AND THERE HAS BEEN NO SOLUTION.

I WOULD LIKE TO RESORT HOW HARD IT IS TO TELL IF THESE VEHICLES ARE TURNING OR BRAKING DUE TO THE "BRAKE-LIGHT-TURN-SIGNAL COMBINATION" WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHT GOES OFF WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL IS ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REVERSING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING ON SIX SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CONTACT WAS REVERSING AND THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A VEHICLE PARKED NEAR THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000. UPDATED 11/18/15*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ALSO HAD NUMEROUS OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. SOME OF THE ISSUES CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT DOWN OR REVERSE.
