2015 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

THE BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS ON THIS GMC YUKON ONLY RANDOMLY LIGHT UP. HAVE BEEN TOLD RANDOM TIMES BY OTHER MOTORIST THAT BRAKE OR TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING ON HIGHWAY. I'VE CONTACTED GM MULTIPLE TIMES ON PHONE AND AT DEALER AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THEY FINALLY SENT A LETTER OUT TODAY NOTING THERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT STILL WANT FIX MINE BECAUSE IT'S OVER 72K ON YUKON. SAFETY HAS NO MILEAGE LIMIT AND GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. GOOGLE THIS ISSUE AND YOU WILL SEE THE INTERNET IS FULL OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT GM LED BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS GOING BAD. THANKS FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER.

LEFT (DRIVER SIDE) REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETELY DEAD. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS. WILL BE THE THIRD ASSEMBLY ON THE VEHICLE IN THE FIVE YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT.THE ASSEMBLY DOES NOT LAST. ALL THE LED'S STOP WORKING. THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANY PARTICULAR REASON THAT THE SHOP CAN FIND THAT IT CAUSING IT.

FRONT LED TURN SIGNAL (WHICH SHOULD LAST FOR EVER) IS MALFUNCTIONING AND DESPITE PURCHASING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY COMPANY OR GM. QUOTED NEARLY $1,700 TO HAVE A TURN FUNCTIONING TURN SIGNAL AGAIN. THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED. THIS WAS A $60K+ VEHICLE!?!?!?!?!?

WE PURCHASED A 2015 GMC YUKON XL DENALI IN JULY 2019 FROM JACKIE COOPER IN EDMOND, OK. IN DECEMBER 2019, WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT. SOME DAYS THEY WORK FINE, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. WE'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE STOP US AND TELL US THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE "FLICKERING". THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN, AND WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY COST TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE LIGHTS, IT'S A BUDGETARY CONCERN, AS WELL. SINCE WE STARTED NOTICING IT, WE ALSO HAVE HEARD OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL AND YEAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A DEFECTED PRODUCT WHICH NEEDS A BETTER SOLUTION. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS ANOTHER SOLUTION BESIDES SPENDING $1,000-$1,500 TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE A SIMPLE BULB I COULD FIND AT A AUTO PARTS STORE.

OWNED THE CAR FOR 2 YEARS, BEEN IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE, CAR JERKS GOING LESS THAN 25 MPH AND WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING. BOTH TAIL LIGHTS ARE LED AND INOPERABLE. AC QUIT WORKING, RECHARGED ONCE AND FIGURE IT'S A LEAK. UPON READING REVIEWS GMC IS AWARE OF FAULTY PARTS BUT NO RECALL ON ANY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO OPERATE IN EITHER DIRECTION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE ALSO STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THOMPSON BUICK GMC LOCATED AT 2600 WAKE FOREST RD. RALEIGH NC, 27609, (919)809-6217, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE STEERING GEAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. THE DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THIS FAULT AND SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON.

REAR TAIL LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THEY ARE COMPLETELY OFF, OTHER TIMES THEY WORK. THIS HAPPENS BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND WHEN IN MOTION

BRAKE LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE LED LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AT 4 YEARS OLD AND 50,000 MILES. NO OPTION TO REPLACE INDIVIDUAL BULBS, DEALER SAID THE ENTIRE LIGHT FIXTURE HAS TO BE REPLACED AT $665 PER EACH SIDE. MAJOR SAFETY FEATURE NOT WORKING @ BRAKE LIGHTS!!!

BRAKELIGHT ASSEMBLY DEFECTIVE, CAUSING INTERMITTENT FAILURE. THIS OCCURS WHILE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS AND WHILE TURNING, BRAKING ETC.
