ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIRD TIME THE LED CIRCUIT BOARD LED LIGHTS ON REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS SHORTED OUT AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT DUE TO BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. GMC IS WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE ON THE YUKONS AND HAS DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. INDIVIDUAL BRAKELIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD OF LED BULBS CANNOT BE CHANGED OUT BECAUSE IT IS PLASTIC WELDED AND SEALED INTO THE TAIL LIGHT, COSTING $600.00 TO REPAIR EACH TIME IT SHORTS OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD NOT KEEP HAPPENING. THERE ARE FOLKS DRIVING W/O FUNCTIONAL BRAKELIGHTS BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD THE COST AND FREQUENCY IF REPAIR. IT IS A POORLY MADE ENGINEERING FLAW BY GM THAT DEALER ADMITS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME DUE TO MOISTURE GETTING INTO LIGHT AND SHORTING CIRCUIT BOARD. BRAKELIGHT WILL NOT WORK WHEN STATIONARY OR WHEN IN ANY MOTION.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE STABILITRAK OFF LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD, INCLUDING THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THIS HAS SHUT DOWN MY CAR ON THE HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE 2016. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WOULD RESET ITSELF AND THE CODES WOULD GO AWAY TEMPORARILY. THE DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND CABLES. I HAD TO GET TOWED OFF THE HIGHWAY AS THIS HAPPENS SO RANDOMLY. THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THAT IT IS A MYSTERY TO THEM AS THEY HAVE CALLED THEIR GMC SPECIALTY TECHNICIANS FOR ADVICE. FINALLY, I WENT ONLINE AND STARTED A FORUM TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THESE ISSUES THAT NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE SEVERAL SIMILAR STORIES 'CAR FORUMS/ GMC/ GMC ENVOY XL". I AM SURPRISED THIS IS NOT A RECALL AND SHOULD BE IMMEDIATELY. CHANGED SENSORS ON TIRES THAT WEREN'T THE ISSUE SINCE THE INDICATOR LIGHT STILL COMES ON. I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FLASHING AND THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. I AM NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY TRUCK AS SOON AS IT IS TURNED ON ALL OTHE LIGHTS ARE FLASHING STABILITY LINK/ ENGINE/ AIRBAG/ BRAKES. IT IS RIDICULOUS CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CONTACT ME. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT ONLY WITH ME BUT SEVERAL OTHER WHO HAS DONE NOTHING WRONG.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES FAILED IN MY CAR CAUSING A REAR COLLISION WITH AN OBJECT IN MY DRIVEWAY. AFTER INSPECTION FROM A CERTIFIED GMC DEALERSHIP, THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS NOT CAUSED BY SERVICE NEGLECT OR AGE OF BRAKES, IT WAS DUE TO THE VACCUM PUMP FAILURE TO PROVIDE PRESSURE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN TWO YEARS THIS PART HAS CAUSED MY BRAKES TO FAIL. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE PART AT NO COST THOUGH THERE IS NOT FORMAL RECALL ON THIS PART. BOTH TIMES THIS PART FAILED THE CAR WAS IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS TOWED OUT OF A CITY TO BE REPAIRED AS IT WAS DANGERSOUS TO DRIVE AND THE SECOND TIME THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COLLIDE WITH A LARGE DUMPSTER IN MY DRIVEWAY CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NOT PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO ANY PERSONS IN EITHER OF THESE TWO INCIDENTS WHICH BOTH WERE NO FAULT OF THE DRIVER OR OWNER OF THE CAR.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES ON MY 2015 GMC YUKON SUDDENLY BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO OPERATE WITH VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO OUTPUT FROM THE ENGINE VACUUM PUMP TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IT WOULD BE ADDRESSED UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY FROM GM REPAIRED. HOWEVER, AFTER FIXING THE COVERED PART OF THE VACUUM PUMP ASSEMBLY, THEY INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS STILL PREVALENT AND DETERMINED THEY ALSO NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER THAT WAS ALSO AT FAULT. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE AND RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT CHARGE. IT SEEMS THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ISSUES ARE RELATED AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER.
