2016 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION, TRANSMISSION FLUID, AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, PARTS NUMBER: 700, 711, 2429, 7371, AND 87571 WERE ON BACKORDER. THE CONTACT CALLED TED BRITT CHEVROLET (46990 HARRY BYRD HWY, STERLING, VA 20164, (703) 955-3610), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY WOULD ATTEMPT TO LOCATE THE PARTS; HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS A LEMON. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,350.

THE FRONT COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I CAN SET A 1-3 BAR ALERT ON THE STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER IN THE 3 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE CAR AND TRYING DIFFERENT MANEUVERS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, I DON'T GET A AN AUDIBLE NOR VISUAL RED LIGHT WARNING THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED ON A NEWER CHEVY IMPALA I DRIVE. THE DASH INFO CENTER BELOW THE GAUGES WILL CHANGE FROM A GREEN SEMI-CIRCULAR 3 BAR SYSTEM TO A YELLOW IF I COME WITHIN THE 3 CAR LENGTHS SET OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE USING GOOGLE AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SAY DIFFERENT GMC MODELS WITH THIS SYSTEM ALL BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY. EVERYONE USES THE YOU TUBE VIDEO BY GM AS THE EXAMPLE OF HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. NOTE, MY WINDSHIELD NEXT TO THE REARVIEW MIRROR IS CLEAN, SO THE SENSORS ARE NOT IMPEDED. TO ME, SETTING THE SYSTEM TO THE MAXIMUM FORWARD DISTANCE TO AVOID A COLLISION GIVES YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT COULD EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESIGNED.

2016 GMC YUKON DENALI XL 40K MINT CONDITION BOUNCES VIGOROUSLY AT SLOW SPEEDS AND EVEN MORE SO AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IT IS TO A POINT THE RIDE IS UNBEARABLE AND POTENTIALLY DOWN RIGHT DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ COUNTLESS COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE AND I AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS ARE WONDERING WHY IS THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ISSUED ON THE SHOCK AND STRUTS ON THESE VEHICLES .(2015-2016)

THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LIGHT QUIT WORKING. WILL COME ON WHEN PUSHED AGAINST CAR. DEALER SAID IT WAS ELECTRICAL IN THE BRAKE LIGHT UNIT.

MY LEFT TAILLIGHT IS OUT. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE LIGHT IT JUST STOPPED WORKING! IT WOULD WORK SOMETIME AND SOMETIME IT WOULD NOT. NOW IT IS NOT WORKING AT ALL!

REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT IS INOPERABLE. MY VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD. IF MY LOCAL POLICE DEPARTMENT VIEWS THIS AS A PROBLEM, SO SHOULD THE NHTSA. GMC NEEDS TO RECALL THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO REPORT THIS PROBLEM FOR IT TO BE ADDRESSED? THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!

REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. TOOK INTO DEALERSHIP AND IT APPEARS GMC DOES NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF REAR BRAKE LIGHT ISSUES WITH GMC VEHICLES, SPECIFICALLY YUKONS BUT GMC CONTINUES TO INDICATE THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM.

AT 64,497 MY WIFE'S POWER STEERING WENT OUT ON HER VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED A DAY AFTER OUR TRIP TO ATLANTA, GA. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP AND WAS NOTIFIED THAT 4 MODULES HAD TO BE REPLACED AND A RECOMMENDED WIRING HARNESS. IN 2015 GMC VEHICLES HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE AND RECALL BUT NOT THE 2016. THIS COST ME $1400 IN REPAIRS.

REAR LED TAIL LAMPS HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE IN THE DARK AT NIGHT. THIS HAS OCCURRED 2 TIME OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. LIGHT HAS NOW BEEN OUT SINCE JAN 2019 AND GM CLAIMS THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON THE PART.

ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN BY STEPPING ON BRAKES BUT THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY STIFF AND THERE WAS NO STOPPING ACTION. HAD TO ALMOST STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH ALL MY FORCE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP BEFORE ALMOST HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. WE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT
