2015 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

I PURCHASED BY VEHICLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR VARIOUS ISSUES, MOSTLY ELECTRICAL INVOLVING THE COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE, OR ISSUES INVOLVING MY TIRES OR STEERING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY "DRIVER ASSIST" HAS MALFUNCTIONED MANY TIMES AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. LAST SUMMER MY FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND STOPPED WORKING. I SPENT $800 FOR THE BACK PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT AND ALMOST $1000 FOR THE FRONT DRIVER HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW BATTERY FOR THIS VEHICLE. MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AND THIS TIME, I AM TOLD THAT THE SEAT MOTOR (THAT ALERTS YOU WHEN YOU ARE NEAR AN OBSTACLE HAS BURNED OUT.) ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO, I BECAME AWARE OF TICKING NOISE WHILE MY CAR HAS BEEN IDLE. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED A MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT. TODAY, I AM ALSO INFORMED THAT MY "LIFTERS" ARE BAD ON THE VEHICLE AND MY ENGINE IS GOING BAD. I AM TOLD THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER HAS BURNED OUT, I AM TOLD THE MOTOR UNDER MY SEAT IS BURNED OUT. I HAVE PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I GET OIL CHANGES REGULARLY AND USE HIGH QUALITY SYNTHETIC OILS. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE SHOP AT LEAST 2X PER YEAR FOR PROBLEMS AND SOME MAJOR REPAIR IS ALWAYS REQUIRED. THIS IS A CAR THAT I AM GOING INTO THE 5TH YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THIS SUMMER. ORIGINALLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BRAKES, NOW I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT, BUT I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR VARIOUS RECALLS AT LEAST 3X. THIS IS AN UNSAFE, DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. EVERY SYSTEM FAILS. I AM NOW IN SEARCH OF A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER GM VEHICLES (GRAND AM, HUMMER) AND NONE HAVE REQUIRED SO MUCH REPAIR COSTS. TODAY I AM TOLD THAT IT WILL COST $6800 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE TO MAKE IT SAFE. MY REPAIR RECORDS WILL SHOW THE REPAIRS AND SERVICE CHARGES I HAVE PAID SINCE PURCHASE. THIS IS A LEMON. *TR

MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY DON'T WORK FROM THE DAY I PURCHASED IT AND CANT THE DEALER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

BREAK LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY ILLUMINATES ON DRIVER'S SIDE. RECEIVED LETTER FROM GMC DATED DECEMBER 2019, "INTENDED TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT SOME 2015 MODEL YEAR GMC YUKON XL VEHICLES MAY HAVE A CONDITION WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT ILLUMINATE". THE WOULD REPAIR IT WITH NO COST ONLY IF THIS WOULD HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN 6 YEAR OF THE DATE YOUR VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE OR 72,000 MILES. OF COURSE, WE ARE WAY ABOVE THAT. DEALER QUOTED $800 COST REPAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE PAD DISENGAGED. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR BOTTLE AND NOTICED THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAGGIO BUICK GMC (310 NEW ROADS ST, NEW ROADS, LA 70760), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND BALL JOINTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS (BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS IN RED) STOP WORKING WITH NO WARNING TO THE DRIVER. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DOES CONTINUE TO WORK. THIS IS NOTICED WHEN PARKED AND WHEN IN MOTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHER DRIVERS CRASHING INTO OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT WE ARE BRAKING. A FRIEND HAD TO POINT THIS OUT TO US IN THE SCHOOL PICKUP LINE. FIRST NOTICED ON 2/13/20. HAD TO BUY TWO NEW TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALL.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, I BEGAN TO RECEIVE AN ALERT THAT MY SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE SERVICED. UPON INSPECTION, MY RIGHT SIDE MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED. AFTER COMPLETING THE REPAIR, THE NEW MODULE WOULD NOT COMMUNICATE WITH THE LEFT MODULE WHICH IS HOW THE RIGHT MODULE GETS PROGRAMMED. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ALERT THAT THE LEFT MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN THAT THESE MODULES WOULD FAIL THIS SOON INTO THE VEHICLE'S LIFE (68,000 MILES). THERE ARE NO MOVING PARTS, ETC. NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY ISSUES OF NOT HAVING A WORKING SIDE COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM.

AFTER DRIVING A 100 MILE ROUND TRIP ON A US HWY, COUNTY ROADS, AND CITY STREETS, WE ARRIVED BACK HOME AND BEFORE WE COULD TURN OUR 2015 GMC YUKON XL, WE IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO SMELL GASOLINE. DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH WHERE OUR 8 MONTH CHILD WAS JUST SITING, IS WHERE WE NOTICED 87 OCTANE FUEL DRIPPING RAPIDLY. AS I WAS LOOKING, MY WIFE WAS REMOVING OUR CHILD OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE SHE WAS SITTING. WE HAD SO MUCH GAS ON THE GROUND AND THE FUMES WHERE SO STRONG. I CAN NOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW QUICKLY THE FUMES ENGULFED OUR WHOLE VEHICLE, WITH ALL OF US STILL IN THE VEHICLE. HAD THERE BEEN A SPARK OF ANY KIND, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ENOUGH TO CATCH OUR VEHICLE ON FIRE WITH US POSSIBLE STILL IN THE VEHICLE AND MAINLY OUR INFANT STILL IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAD THE VEHICLE BROUGHT TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND HAD TO HAVE OUR FUEL FEED LINE (ACDELCO PART# 84200274) REPLACED. THE ENGINEERS FOR GM, STUPIDLY HAD THIS FUEL LINE RUNNING THROUGH A MOLDED CLIP, THAT IS PART OF THE FUEL TANK, AND THE HOSE WAS 'SNAPPED' INTO IT TIGHTLY. THIS CAUSED ENOUGH FRICTION IN THE LINE MOVING BACK AND FORTH TO FINELY PLACE A HOLE IN THE FUEL LINE. NHTSA MUST TAKE THIS REPORT SERIOUSLY BEFORE IT COST THE LIFE OF SOMEONE THAT DOES NOT DESERVE BURNING ALIVE IN A VEHICLE. ISSUE THE RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE THIS HAPPENS! MOST PEOPLE CAN NOT AFFORD A $350-$1,000 FIX OR MUCH LESS THE VALUE OF SOMEONE'S LIFE!

I BOUGHT THIS YUKON AND THE NEXT DAY A GENTLEMAN THAT WAS RIDING BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME HE CAME TO THE SIDE OF ME AND SAID MY TAIL LIGHT IS NOT WORKING THEY COME ON WHEN THEY WANT TO IN AND OUT AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ITS HAPPENING TO ALL OF THE NEWER MODELS AND THEY ARE 800 FOR A NEW TAIL LIGHT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THE TAIL LIGHTS SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE LED STRIP IN THEM THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE SOMEONE TO GET HURT I HAVE 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND I DO NOT NEED TO GET INTO A CRASH AND I DO NOT NEED TO SPEND 1600 PLUS TO GET NEW ONES.

NO BRAKE LIGHT IN BOTH REAR LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES. STARTED WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE. GMC ISSUED A LETTER IN DECEMBER 2019 STATING THEY'D PAY FOR REPAIRS IF VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 6 YEARS OR 75,000 MILES WHICH EVER COMES FIRST. WE'LL I'M OVER ON BOTH. GMPP EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THIS REPAIR. SPEND $75K FOR THIS TRUCK AND NOW THIS.
