2015 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. ANOTHER 2015 YUKON WITH NO TAIL OR STOP LIGHTS. I'M OVER MILLAGE ON SPECIAL RECALL. THERE SHOULD BE NO TIME/MILLAGE ISSUE ON THIS. SEAT BELTS LOCK UP. BRAKES ARE EITHER GOOD OR MUSSY WHENEVER THEY WANT TO BE. HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD COMPLETELY DIE (NO LIGHTS MOTOR DIED, NO POWER STEERING, NO AIR BAGS, NO RADIO NOTHING AT ALL ON THE X-WAY AT 70 MPH) AND THE DEALER COULD NOT REPAIR IT! RUST ON FRAME RAILS. (AND MORE).

MY PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM AS EVIDENCED BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FILED ON YOUR SITE FOR THE SAME ISSUE. LACK OF PROPERLY FUNCTIONING TAIL LIGHTS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. *TR

THE REAR PASSENGER & DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS JUST RANDOMLY STOPPED WORKING. NOT A BULB ISSUE AS IT IS THE LED PANEL OF LIGHTS. THE BACK-UP BULB STILL WORKS, BUT THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T. LED LIGHTS SHOULD LAST YEARS. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT HAPPENS A LOT TO THESE VEHICLES, AND I HAVE TO BUY A WHOLE NEW UNIT FOR EACH SIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE - BREAK LIGHTS FAILING DUE TO POOR WIRING. AGAIN NOT A REPLACEABLE BULB ISSUE, IT IS DUE TO A WIRING ISSUE WITHIN THE LED LIGHTING UNIT ITSELF.

MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL ISSUE POSSIBLY. WHILE TRAVELING DOWN ROAD, HIGHWAY OR SIDE STREET, VEHICLE RIDES EXTREMELY ROUGH AND BOUNCES. *TR

RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT LED KEEPS WORKING OFF AND ON. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, LOOK AT THE OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND COSTS THE CUSTOMER AROUND $700 TO FIX. THE LED STRIP BREAKS INTERNALLY AND THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE REAR BRAKE TAILLIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEWEENAW BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 608 QUINCY ST, HANCOCK, MI 49930, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

BOTH LED BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THEY WERE BOTH REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP. NOW APPROXIMATELY 7 MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART, WHICH COST $700.00 EACH SIDE, AND HAS FAILED TWICE IN YEAR. FROM A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR GMC YUKON'S AND DENALI'S BUT THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR THIS FAILURE. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A FAULTY DESIGN. THE SOLDER CONNECTION PREMATURELY BREAKS AND CAUSES THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS TO NOT WORK. *TR

THE BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS IN THE ASSEMBLY ARE FINE. REVERSE AND TURN SIGNAL, NO BRAKE INDICATION. IT DOES NOT ACTIVATE A WARNING ON THE DASH FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. THIS HAPPENS 24/7... THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR WITH AN ITEM PRICED AT OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE. *TR

BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY NOT ILLUMINATING AND GOING OUT. BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHTS. *TR

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2019. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER OUR RIGHT TAIL LIGHT STARTED GOING OUT RANDOMLY. THEN IT COMPLETELY WOULD NOT WORK. WE PAY FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT DIDN'T COVER IT. THEN SHORTLY AFTER THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT DID THE SAME THING. WE CURRENTLY HAVE 84K MILES ON OUR VEHICLE. DUE TO NEGLIGENCE, AND A DISHONEST COMPANY (GMC), THIS MILITARY FAMILY IS DOWN TO 1 VEHICLE AS WE CANNOT AFFORD THE ALMOST $2K IT WILL COST TO FIX THE TAIL LIGHTS. THIS IS NOT DUE TO ANYTHING WE DID, IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH FAULT BRAKE LIGHTS THAT GMC WILL NOT FIX PAST 72K MILES WHICH IS DISGUSTING AND A SLAP IN THE FACE TO PEOPLE WHO GIVE THEM THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE VEHICLES. THERE ARE DOZENS OF BLOGS, POSTS, WEBSITES, ETC OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE AND GMC NOT HELPING PAST 72K MILES WHICH IS A HORRIBLE EXPLANATION AND IS NOT HELPFUL TO MOST OF US. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THINGS THAT HAVE BROKEN (NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR WHICH IS UNDERSTANDABLE) THAT WASN'T COVERED UNDER OUR PLATINUM EXTENDED WARRANTY. HOWEVER, GMC NEEDS TO DO THE RIGHT THING ESPECIALLY FOR OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN UNIFORM, AND FIX WHAT THEIR COMPANY HAS DEEMED AS FAULTY PAST 72K MILES!!! *TR
