2015 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

TAKATA RECALL DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREETS

THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LED CIRCUIT BOARD WAS BROKEN. A WEB SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD IS CHEAPLY MADE. THE BRAKE LIGHT CANNOT BE SIMPLY REPLACED. THE ENTIRE REAR LIGHT COMPONENT (BRAKE LIGHT, RUNNING LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR THIS. THE COST TO REPLACE IS ~$500. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A LED LIGHT BOARD THAT IS STRONGER AND LASTS LONGER THAN 4 YEARS.

INTERMITTENT BRAKE LIGHT ACTIVATION ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT. IT HAPPENS STOPPED AND IN MOTION. VERY DANGEROUS! IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH BROKEN CONTACTS INSIDE A SEALED HOUSING. THE ISSUE IS POSTED ALL OVER THE FORUMS BUT GMC REFUSES RESPONSIBILIY.

TURN SIGNAL FAILURE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CAUSE BY CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. COST $1300 TO REPLACE AND GET A NEW TURN SIGNAL. A TURN SIGNAL IS $5, BUT THEN INTEGRATED LEDS COST $1300 BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY.

I WAS DRIVING UP NORTH IN 4WHEEL DRIVE AND TRANSMISSION CAM OUT OF GEAR I STOPPED THE VECHILE AND RESTARTED NOW THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND STEERING IS HARD TO STEER AND IT GOES IN AND OUT

POWER BREAKING FAILS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, BRAKE PEDAL STIFF AND HARD TO PUSH DOWN TO STOP VEHICLE IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE DIRECTIONS WHEN INCHING FORWARD AT A STOP LIGHT/SIGN, OR PARKING IN A PARKING LOT IN FORWARD AND REVERSE CAR KEEPS MOVING. STOPPING REQUIRED VERY HARD PUSH ON THE STIFF BRAKE PEDAL.. BRAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS LESS AFFECTED BUT SUDDEN STOPS CAN REQUIRE MORE FORCE THAN USUAL AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. PROBLEM BEGAN DECEMBER 2017 RARELY AND INTERMITTENTLY, AND INCREASED TO ALL THE TIME BY FEBRUARY 2019 AT LOW SPEEDS THE POWER BRAKE DID NOT WORK AND REQUIRED MUCH FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP VEHICLE EVERY TIME. BRAKE FLUID WAS FINE AND SO WAS BRAKE PADS. GM DEALERSHIP VISIT SHOWED A FAILURE OF THE VACUUM PUMP FOR BRAKE LINE AND THEY INSTALLED A REDESIGNED PUMP WHICH SHOWS THAT THE ORIGINAL HAS FAULTY DESIGN. THEY ALSO REQUIRED A BELT THAT OPERATES PUMP TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW BUT THIS REPAIR HAS A TWO YEAR GUARANTEE. PRICE FOR ME TO FIX OVER $881+TAX.

THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. I REPLACED THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND IT STILL DOES NOT WORK. THE DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAID IT COYLD BE TGE WIRING.

I LOST BRAKES. EXTREME PRESSURE ON PEDDLE REQUIRED FOR BRAKES TO ENGAGE. EVEN THEN ONLY REDUCED BRAKING POWER WAS AVAILABLE. REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF VACUUM PUMP AND BOOSTER. OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE ENGINE WAS AT IDLE. OTHERWISE BRAKES FELT WEEK BUT AVAILABLE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES. REAR RUNNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING. REAR BREAK LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. RIGHT SIDE BLINKER NOT WORKING IN FRONT HEAD LAMP OR REAR LIGHTING FIXTURE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER AT A GM DEALERSHIP THE COMPUTER WILL NOT SHOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CAN NOT SAFETY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO NO LIGHTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE NOR DURING THE DAY WITHOUT BREAK LIGHTS.

LEFT BRAKE LIGHT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN WENT OUT COMPLETELY. RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY AFTER. DEALER WANTS 1550.00 TO REPLACE
