2016 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

DRIVERS' SIDE BRAKE LIGHT/TAIL LIGHT FAILURE AT 44K MILES. GMC REFUSES TO FIX UNDER WARRANTY (EVEN WITH EXTENDED WARRANTY PURCHASED) DESPITE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE. DEALER QUOTED $1,000 TO FIX JUST THE ONE SIDE AND ADMITTED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE. I WAS STOPPED BY ANOTHER DRIVER AT A RED LIGHT TO INFORM ME OF THE ISSUE - HE SAID HE NEARLY HIT ME BECAUSE OF IT AND WAS SCARED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT ON THE VEHICLE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. AS OF LATE IS HAS BEEN COMPLETELY OUT AND NOT FUNCTIONING AT ALL.

THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE COMPLETELY OUT. THESE ARE ONE SOLID HOUSING AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO SIMPLY FIX THE BRAKE LIGHT. REVERSE AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE OK. THE HOUSINGS COST 600-700 DOLLARS EACH TO REPLACE WHICH IS A LUDICROUS AMOUNT TO HAVE TO SPEND. IN ORDER TO BE WITHIN REGULATIONS FOR INSPECTION, THESE HAVE TO BE WORKING. WE FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE HOUSINGS.

A FEW MONTHS AGO THE DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHT STOPPED WORKING (OR WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY). TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS $850 TO REPAIR. FILED COMPLAINT WITH GMC AND AS I WAS WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THEM THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD WITHOUT WORKING TAILLIGHTS. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. A $65,000 'PROFESSIONAL GRADE' VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE AT 55,000 MILES. GMC NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND RECALL THESE. WILL IT TAKE A FATAL ACCIDENT TO SPUR A RECALL??

DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT OUT . ITS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTS AND GMC REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE ITS AN ISSUE...

THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE/RAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING AND VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27,800 MILES ON IT. HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LED LIGHTS SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN INCANDESCENT LIGHTS.

REAR RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT DUE TO KNOWN DEFECT. METAL PIECE BROKE THAT ALLOWS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LED LIGHTS. GMC SHOULD RECALL THESE LIGHTS SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEM.

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING CONSISTENTLY. THE TURN LIGHT AND REVERSE LIGHT WORK BUT NOT THE BREAK LIGHTS. THEY ARE THEIR OWN ASSEMBLY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $650/EACH AT THE DEALERSHIP. ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

MY CAR IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 24,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE I WORK FROM HOME. I SPECIFICALLY LEASE CARS SO I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ISSUES. THIS CARS REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS! THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE TO REPLACE A GREAT DEAL OF THESE IN CARS NOT VERY OLD LIKE MINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR BRAKE LIGHTS TO BE GOING OUT ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR! IT HAS BEEN OUT FOR MONTHS AND I WAS JUST PROCRASTINATING BECAUSE YOU MUST GO TO A DEALERSHIP SHOP TO GET IT REPLACED. YOU CANNOT GET IT AT A PART STORE YOURSELF SO MY CAR PROBABLY ONLY HAD 20,000-21,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED.

BRAKES DO NOT WORK AT LOW SPEEDS. GMC TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN BOUGHT BACK BY GM AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX IT 8 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THEY STATE THERE IS A SPECIAL WARRANTY ADDED EXCEPT MY MILEAGE IS OVER THE WARRANTY! BRAKES EITHER ARE HARD AS A BRICK TO PUSH OR/AND DON'T WORK AT ALL. I WAS TOLD TO REV THE ENGINE WHEN GOING SLOW OR BACKING UP IN ORDER TO MAKE THE BRAKES FUNCTION PROPERLY. THAT WAS THE ADVICE FOR A MOTHER OF 4 CHILDREN. AC IS ALSO BLOWING HOT AIR.
