2015 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

I'VE EXPERIENCED 2 POWER STEERING FAILURES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. FIRST, THE EPS FAILED (WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR MANY OF THE SAME MODEL--BUT NOT MINE) WHICH I REPLACED. NOW, POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN, THIS TIME THE STEERING GEAR PER THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! WITH THE MOST RECENT FAILURE, IF YOUR HANDS ARE NOT GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY, THE CAR WILL VEER SHARPLY TO EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT. AND STEERING THIS BEAST WITH NO POWER STEERING IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. MANY DRIVERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OVERPOWER THE DEAD ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. THE FIRST WARNING CAME AS LOUD SCREECHING SOUNDS FROM THE STEERING AT LOW SPEED. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS INTERMITTENT, AND "JOLTING" THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SCREECHING STOPPED AT SPEED, BUT THE JITTERING/JOLTING OF THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM CONTINUED. THIS IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION, ESPECIALLY WITH SO FEW MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL DUE TO A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. IN LESS THAN 3 YEARS AND 40,000 MILES THE VEHICLE HAS GONE THROUGH 3 LED BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THEY FAIL.

REAR TAILLIGHT & BRAKE LIGHT - INTERMITTENT OPERATION OF REAR LED MARKER AND BRAKE LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE HAS < 30,000 MILES. GM SELLING DEALER AWARE OF ISSUE WITH NO ACTION TAKEN.

THE REAR TAILLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK SOMETIMES! THERE'S TIMES WHERE THERE OFF AND GMC IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE!!

FUEL SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. EXTENDED CRANK AFTER (OVERNIGHT) ENGINE OFF PARK. FUEL PUDDLE NOTICED UNDER PARKED VEHICLE ON GARAGE FLOOR AND DRIVEWAY AFTER OVERNIGHT PARKING. SMELL AND FUEL LEAK SEEMED WORSE WITH A FULL TANK. ALSO NOTICED MORE FREQUENT AUTO SHUT OFF AT FUEL STATION DURING AUTOMATIC FILLING. DEALER DROPPED TANK AND FOUND A FUEL LINE THAT WAS 'RUBBED' THROUGH TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I WILL DOCUMENT WITH PICTURES UPON MY RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP IF NEEDED FOR FUTURE. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT ON A ($70K) 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THERE IS A FUEL LEAK THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED WITH A 10 CENT PIECE OF INSULATION TO PROTECT THE LINES FROM RUBBING. SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE CHOOSE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY DURING VALIDATION TESTING! TOTAL BS.

WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN SCHOOL PARKING LOT BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE WHEN USING NORMAL BRAKE PRESSURE. PEDESTRIAN IN FRONT OF VEHICLE JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID BEING STRUCK.

MY VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHEN TRAVELING 40MPH AND ABOVE WITH A REAR WINDOW DOWN. THE VIBRATION IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASED CABIN PRESSURE. THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSING HEADACHES, NAUSEA, AND DIZZINESS. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMS ISSUE AND TRIED TO REPAIR, BUT UNABLE TO. THE VIBRATION STARTED RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015 AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES UNFIXED TO THIS DAY AFTER 5 VISITS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONER EMITTED HOT AIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HERB CHAMBERS CHEVROLET OF DANVERS (90 ANDOVER ST, DANVERS, MA 01923) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAILED. REPLACEMENT PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. WE HAVE BEEN WAITING 5 WEEKS SO FAR AND NO UPDATE FROM GM.

DRIVING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS WITH THE VEHICLE IN 4WD, BEGAN NAVIGATING A TURN AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND THE DASH DISPLAYED THE "4WD SHIFT ON PROGRESS" ON THE DASH WITHOUT DRIVER TOUCHING THE 4WD BUTTONS. COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE OR DO ANYTHING. VEHICLE ENDED UP HITTING A WALL CAUSING A FAIR AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. VEHICLE DOES NOT GO IN FOR REPAIRS UNTIL NEXT WEEK BUT THE DEALERSHIP MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT'S A TRANSFER CASE ISSUE WHICH APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR
