2015 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

RIGHT TAIL LIGHT BEGAN TO NOT WORK LAST FALL. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED THEN IT WAS WORKING FINE. WENT IN FOR ABOUT A MONTH. SOMETIMES IT WORKED THEN IT WASN'T. ALMOST LIKE IT HAD A SHORT. EVENTUALLY HAD TO REPLACE WHOLE SYSTEM NOT JUST A BULB. NOW ALMOST ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING ON THE LEFT SIDE. THIS IS A $1,000 ITEM. I HAVE OWNED CARS FOR TEN YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A LIGHT. READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THESE TAIL LIGHTS.

2015 YUKON BRAKE LIGHT NEEDS RECALL" DOES NOT WORK ...IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND AN EXPENSIVE FIX. NEED HELP THIS IS

REAR TAIL LIGHT FAILED, WAS REPLACED AND FAILED AGAIN 2 MONTHS LATER. VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR CONTINUED MALFUNCTION. NO BREAKLIGHTS, NO TURN SIGNAL, NO WARNING. DISCOVERED BY OTHER DRIVERS NOTIFYING ME ON THE ROAD.

PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SIGNAL WORKS, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT AND RUNNING LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. I GOT THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2014, TAILLIGHT STARTED GOING OUT EXACTLY 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $650 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TAILLIGHT AND THAT IT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. THE TAILLIGHT IS STILL OUT AND I REFUSE TO REPLACE IT SINCE I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER SIMILAR STORIES OF OTHER YUKONS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN IN COLD WEATHER (UNDER 60 DEGREES F) THE LIGHT USED TO FLICKER BUT NOT STAY ON. IT HAS BEEN HOT MOST OF THIS YEAR SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS STILL TRUE.

MY RIGHT SIDE BRAKE ASSEMBLY SEEMS TO ONLY WORK WHEN IT WANTS TOO. WORKS ON COLD MORNINGS, BUT AS THE DAY GETS WARMER THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. NO LIGHTS, OR BRAKE LIGHTS.

THE RIGHT & LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS INTERMEDATLY FAIL. I HAVE HAD MY RIGHT ONE FAIL, MY LEFT ONE FAIL AND ON ONE OCCASION BOTH FAILED (RIGHT, LEFT, BRAKE & RUNNING LIGHTS AT NIGHT TIME. I HAD PEOPLE FLAGGING ME DOWN AT INTERSECTIONS AND HAD FRIENDS TEXT ME WHILE THEY OBSERVED ME DRIVE AWAY. THE LIGHTS WOULD SOMEHOW BEGIN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY BUT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW LONG THEY WOULD REMAIN NON FUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY CONCERN! IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT GM HAS NOT RECALLED THE POORLY MANUFACTURED LED LIGHTS ON THEIR VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT THEY FUNCTION PROPERLY ONE DAY AND THEN DON'T FUNCTION THE NEXT IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY INITIAL QUOTE FROM GM TO HAVE THE LIGHT REPLACED WAS $1,600 FOR BOTH LIGHTS. RIDUCLOUS COST FOR A FOUR YEAR OLD $60K + VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE TOP /THIRD BRAKE LIGHT SEEMED TO FUNCTION AT ALL TIMES OR WAS NEVER REPORTED TO ME AS NOT FUNCTIONING. I DON'T HAVE PHOTOS OF THE INOPERABLE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. BOTH

THE SUBURBAN IS NOT FULLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TAIL LIGHTS. IT IS 1700.00 TO REPAIR TAIL LIGHTS. THAT IS CRAZY. THE LIGHTS GO ON AND OFF. DAYS IT WORKS DAYS IT DOESN'T. I HAVE HAD 2 WARNINGS TO GET THEM FIXED. FIRST IT WAS JUST THE RIGHT ONE AND THE OFFICER NOTICED THAT THE LEFT KEEP GOING ON AND OFF.

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN ON NOVEMBER 2017 DUE TO REAR TAILGATE/HATCH NOT OPENING PROPERLY AND MAKING NOISE SOMETIMES. STRUTS AND OTHER COMPONENTS REPLACED. VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND REAR TAILGATE MODULE CAUGHT ON FIRE INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND BURNED UP. GM CUSTOMER CARE CASE 8-43560624XX WAS STARTED. PART SHOWS SIGNS OF FIRE, HEAVY COMPONENT DAMAGE BURN MARKS EVERYWHERE AND GROUND PLANES WITHIN THE PCB SHOW SIGNS OF EXTREME OVERHEATING, INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE BURNT PLASTIC AND THE REAR TAILGATE COULD NOT BE OPEN. GM IS NOT CALLING IT A FIRE BUT IT IS OBVIOUS FROM THE PART THAT THERE WAS A FLAME AND A LOT OF HEAT. TRIED TO ESCALATE THIS PASSED GM CUSTOMER CARE SO GM ENGINEERS CAN AT LEAST LOOK AT IT BUT CHRIS (DID NOT PROVIDE LAST NAME AND/OR ID NUMBER) INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO MORE ESCALATION AT THIS POINT. WAS GIVEN THE TYPICAL SCRIPT "WE APOLOGIZE, BLAH BLAH BLAH, VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY".GM ENGINEERS SHOULD LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND THE PART TO MAKE SURE THIS IS NOT A SAFETY RELATED ISSUE. PICTURES ATTACHED OF THE "THERMAL" EVENT AS GM CALLED IT AS THEY CANNOT SAY IT CAUGHT ON FIRE.
