2016 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

MODEL YUKON XL 2016, LESS THAN 50K MILES, BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE FAILED COMPLETELY. NO REAR BRAKING LIGHTS. ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. FIRST NOTICED IN JULY, HAVE ONLY HAD VEHICLE FOR 14 MONTHS.

GMC BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE - I OWN A 2016 GMC YUKON XL AND AFTER ABOUT 45,000 MILES THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE STARTED INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING. AFTER HAVING A GMC TECHNICIAN TELL ME THAT ITS A KNOWN ISSUE AND SEEING HUNDREDS OF OTHERS POSTS ONLINE, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THIS IS A VERY WIDESPREAD PROBLEM. I WAS NEARLY INVOLVED IN A REAR END CRASH ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE THE DRIVER TOLD ME I DID NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND GMC NEEDS TO CORRECT IT. THEY WANT ME TO PURCHASE 2 REPLACEMENT LIGHT UNITS AT 750.00 EACH.

MY DRIVER SIDE LED TAILLIGHT WENT OUT. YOU CAN NOT JUST CHANGE A BULB OR THE LED STRIP. IT REQUIRES THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS 2 YEARS OLD. IT SHOULD NOT GONE OUT AFTER 2 YEARS, LET ALONE IT BEING AN LED WHICH IS SUPPPSE TO LAST MUCH MUCH LONGER THAN THAT. I WAS TOLD WHILE DRIVING, IT WOULD GO ON THEM OFF. IT WAS DUSK AND I WAS DRIVING ON A SURFACE STREET WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC. THAT IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE MULTIPLE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE INTERNET THREADS HAVE MANY MORE COMPLAINTS AS WELL.

BOTH BREAK LIGHTS WENT OUT, WEATHER HAS BEEN HOT IN THE HIGH 90S WHICH GMC DEALER EXPRESSED COMMON CONCERN AMONG OWNERS DURING SUMMER. VEHICLE IS USED 15MILES/DAY ON AVERAGE.

WHEN STARTING AND STOPPING (DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES) SUCH AS AT A LEFT TURN (WAITING FOR TRAFFIC) OR A DRIVE-THRU WINDOW, THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. IF YOU PRESS REALLY HARD IT WILL USUALLY STOP- BUT IT DEFINITELY ROLLS FORWARD WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO STOP. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT A VACUUM PUMP IS FAULTY BUT THIS COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AS I ALMOST ROLLED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHILE WAITING IN LINE TO TURN LEFT AT A "LEFT TURN YIELD ON GREEN LIGHT".

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM CONSTANTLY BLOWS OUT HOT AIR. AIR CONDITION WAS RECHARGED AND STILL HAS NEGATIVE RESULTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON XL. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTHERN PINES CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (10722 US-15, SOUTHERN PINES, NC 28387, (910) 692-2002) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES AND VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

HIGH FREQUENCY ANTENNA LEAKING WATER. THIS IS PREVENTING THE VEHICLE'S ONSTAR SYSTEM FROM ACCURATELY DETERMINING THE VEHICLE'S LOCATION; IT HAS DISABLED VEHICLE'S COMPASS, NAVIGATION, AND XM RADIO SYSTEMS; THE RED ONSTAR LED INDICATOR HAS TURNED ON ; AND WATER IS LEAKING INTO THE INTERIOR PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE 2015 YUKON XL FOR THIS SAME EXACT PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I AM HAVING THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY 2016 MODEL. I HAVE ATTACHED THE RECALL ISSUED FOR THE 2015 MODELS.

TAKATA RECALL OR SENSOR FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING 45MPH, AND JUST SLAMMED THE BRAKES REAR ENDING THE STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. I HAD EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY FRONT END AND THE CAR I HIT WAS TOTALED. THAT AIR BAG SHOULD OF DEPLOYED.

BOUGHT SUV 6/25/2016 THE SAME WEEKEND THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AFTER A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN :IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES SO FAR. 4 WEEK OLD 2016 YUKON DENALI XL, HAS STALLED 3 TIMES IN LAST 4 WEEKS, ENGINE CUTS OFF AFTER A LEFT OR A RIGHT TURN ONLY AFTER A SHORT DRIVE OUT OF HOME. THE SUV HAS TO BE RESTARTED! COULD HAVE EASILY HAD AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE. I TOOK IT TO THE WESTPOINT GMC DEALER, 3 TIMES. 1ST TWO TIMES, ALL OF SERVICE DEPTARTMENT COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. TODAY, AFTER A STALL, I CALLED ONSTAR, WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTICS TEST,BUT ONSTAR FOUND NOTHING OF VALUE , I LEFT IT AT DEALERSHIP AND CONTACTED DISTRICT MGR. MATT TILLSON . I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD ESCALATE THE ISSUE. I DID TELL DEALER THAT GMC AND DEALERSHIP WOULD BE AT FAULT IF VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND STALLS NOR STOPS WHILE I AM DRIVING. I DID NOT WANT THE VEHICLE BACK WITHOUT THE PROBLEM HAVING BEEN FIXED. ITS DAY 6 TODAY. I NEED TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR, I WILL NOT TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK UNTILL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED, AND FIXED. I DO NOT WANT ME OR MY FAMILY OR GM SERVICE EMPLOYEE INJURED, OR WORSE, OR TO BE INVOLVED WITH A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT IN MY GMC YUKON DENALI XL. A FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ON THIS CASE ALREADY ! WILL IT TAKE AN ACCIDENT, OR INJURY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS ASSIGNED?
