2015 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

REAR LED BRAKE LIGHT ON RIGHT DOES NOT WORK AT 60000 MILES. THE LEFT REAR LED BRAKE LIGHT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTEE IN 2016. MY MECHANIC SAYS HE HAS SEEN THIS ON NUMEROUS GMC YUKONS OF THIS MODEL. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS MANY PEOPLE HAVE SAME ISSUE. REPLACEMENT UNIT COST IS $700. CALLED GMC WHO SAID THIS WAS FIRST TIME THEY HEARD OF PROBLEM WITH LED REAR LIGHT UNIT.

REAR TAIL LIGHT LEDS FLICKER ON AND OFF AND EVENTUALLY STOP WORKING CAUSING THE ENTIRE HOUSING KIT TO NEED REPLACING.

2015 YUKON DENALI XL INTERMITTENTLY FAILING TAIL LIGHTS/BRAKE LIGHTS DUE TO CIRCUIT BOARD GETTING TOO HOT AND NOT COMMUNICATING PROPERLY BETWEEN LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHTS...PART FAILURE/POOR MANUFACTURING/SAFETY ISSUE

AFTER GETTING PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR A TAIL LIGHT THAT WAS OUT,I WAS IN MOTION AND THIS IS WHEN I STARTED MY RESEARCH. RIGHT TAIL LIGHT IS OUT, FAULTY PARTS. CHECKED ALL FUSE AND WIRE CONNECTION FOR CORROSION, BUT THER WAS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. GMC WANTS TO CHARGE $1,500 TO FIX. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE PAINT JOB. I AM AT 50,000 MILES AND THE PAINT IS ALREADY FADING. THE CLEAR COAT WAS SUPER THIN AND CHEAPLY DONE. GMC SAID THEY WOULD COVER ONLEY 25% OF A $6000 - $12,000 PAINT JOB

TAIL LIGHT ON 2015 GMC YUKON XL BROKE ON 7/18/19. AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP QUOTED $902.57 PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE. I COMPLAINED THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH AND THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE TAIL LIGHT IF IT COSTS THAT MUCH TO REPLACE. LED LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE TAIL LIGHT. FILED A FORMAL WRITTEN COMPLAINT WITH GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 7/22/19. PURCHASED 2 NEW TAIL LIGHTS ONLINE FROM CARID.COM FOR $495.00 AND INSTALLED THE NEW TAIL LIGHTS MYSELF. GMC FINALLY REPLIED ON 7/31/19 MY CLAIM IS DENIED BECAUSE I INSTALLED THE REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHTS MYSELF AND DID NOT HAVE THE DEALERSHIP INSTALL. GMC ADVISED IF THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED THEN THEY WOULD HAVE REFUNDED ME $495.00. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHO INSTALLED THE NEW REPLACEMENT LIGHT? DRIVING AROUND WITH A BROKEN TAIL LIGHT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO AGAINST THE LAW AND I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION WHILE IT TOOK GMC 9 DAYS TO REPLY AND IT WAS BY PHONE - STILL DO NOT HAVE WRITTEN CONFIRMATION. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE A STRANGE PROCEDURE WHEREBY YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WHAT IF YOU HAVE SCHEDULED A BUSINESS TRIP OR HAVE TO ATTEND A MEETING? I HAVE SENT A WRITTEN APPEAL TO GMC PROTESTING THEIR DENIAL DECISION AND AT THE TIME OF WRITING HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S CAUSE FOR A TRAFFIC CITATION THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.

VEHICLE SPUTTERS WHEN DRIVING OFF FROM A START OR ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING ALSO WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, AFTER BEING STOP IT FEELS LIKE THE TORQUE CONVERTER IS NOT IN SYNC WITH THE REST OF THE TRANSMISSION MAKING IT FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU FROM BEHIND TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER THEY PERFORMED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND A REFLASH OF THE COMPUTER IT SEEMED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT CAME BACK AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OR SO, DEALER STATED THAT ANOTHER RECALL WAS COMING IN MARCH OF 2019 (STILL WAITING) THAT WAS GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE POWERT TRAIN BELIEVE THE AFFECTED YEARS FOR GMC YUKON IS 2015, 2016, 2017 THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT OUT THERE ABOUT THIS. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN HILL ON LONG GRADES THE TRANSMISSION DROPS TO NEUTRAL OR VERY LOW GEAR AND ENGINE REVS DROP TO IDLE. THE GRADE BREAK DISENGAGES AND THE VEHICLE FREE WHEELS AND HENCE SPEEDS UP. THE ONLY WAY TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION IS TO EXCESSIVELY REV THE ENGINE. THIS IS HAS BEEN AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE AT A SERVICE CENTER.

BACK DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LED LIGHT OUT. DEALER WANTS $900 TO FIX. COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM FAULTY LED LIGHTS.

BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE. CANNOT BE REPLACED/REPAIRED BECAUSE THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER.

THE BRAKE/TAIL LIGHTS WORK SOMEDAYS, AND NOT OTHER DAYS. ONE DAY THE ARE BOTH WORKING, ONE DAY ONLY ONE WORKS, AND SOME DAYS NEITHER WORK. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS VERY PREVALENT. JUST LOOK ONLINE. I HAVE PERSONALLY PHOTOGRAPHED SEVERAL OF THE SAME ISSUE ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL IN MY HOMETOWN. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS ME TO PAY $1300 TO HAVE NEW LIGHTS INSTALLED AND GMC IS IN DENIAL OF THEIR PROBLEM.(THE BACK UP/REVERSE WHITE LIGHT WORKS ALL OF THE TIME, ITS THE RED BRAKE/TAIL LIGHT THAT DOESN'T WORK) THIS SHOWS THAT ITS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED, NOT REPLACED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE.
