SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS IN THE ASSEMBLY ARE FINE. REVERSE AND TURN SIGNAL, NO BRAKE INDICATION. IT DOES NOT ACTIVATE A WARNING ON THE DASH FOR THE BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. THIS HAPPENS 24/7... THIS SHOULD NOT OCCUR WITH AN ITEM PRICED AT OVER $700.00 TO REPLACE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I PURCHASED BY VEHICLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR VARIOUS ISSUES, MOSTLY ELECTRICAL INVOLVING THE COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE, OR ISSUES INVOLVING MY TIRES OR STEERING WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL.. MY "DRIVER ASSIST" HAS MALFUNCTIONED MANY TIMES AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SHOP TO HAVE IT REPAIRED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. LAST SUMMER MY FRONT AND REAR LIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND STOPPED WORKING. I SPENT $800 FOR THE BACK PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT AND ALMOST $1000 FOR THE FRONT DRIVER HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY. I ALSO HAD TO GET A NEW BATTERY FOR THIS VEHICLE. MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL IS NOW MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AND THIS TIME, I AM TOLD THAT THE SEAT MOTOR (THAT ALERTS YOU WHEN YOU ARE NEAR AN OBSTACLE HAS BURNED OUT.) ABOUT 4 DAYS AGO, I BECAME AWARE OF TICKING NOISE WHILE MY CAR HAS BEEN IDLE. I IMMEDIATELY SCHEDULED A MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT. TODAY, I AM ALSO INFORMED THAT MY "LIFTERS" ARE BAD ON THE VEHICLE AND MY ENGINE IS GOING BAD. I AM TOLD THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER HAS BURNED OUT, I AM TOLD THE MOTOR UNDER MY SEAT IS BURNED OUT. I HAVE PERFORMED ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, I GET OIL CHANGES REGULARLY AND USE HIGH QUALITY SYNTHETIC OILS. I TAKE MY CAR TO THE SHOP AT LEAST 2X PER YEAR FOR PROBLEMS AND SOME MAJOR REPAIR IS ALWAYS REQUIRED. THIS IS A CAR THAT I AM GOING INTO THE 5TH YEAR OF OWNERSHIP THIS SUMMER. ORIGINALLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR BRAKES, NOW I AM TOLD THERE IS NOT, BUT I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR VARIOUS RECALLS AT LEAST 3X. THIS IS AN UNSAFE, DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. EVERY SYSTEM FAILS. I AM NOW IN SEARCH OF A NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER GM VEHICLES (GRAND AM, HUMMER) AND NONE HAVE REQUIRED SO MUCH REPAIR COSTS. TODAY I AM TOLD THAT IT WILL COST $6800 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE TO MAKE IT SAFE. MY REPAIR RECORDS WILL SHOW THE REPAIRS AND SERVICE CHARGES I HAVE PAID SINCE PURCHASE. THIS IS A LEMON. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT / BRAKE LIGHT QUIT WORKING. VEHICLE HAS 74,200 MILES. WHOLE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A $800 DOLLAR REPAIR FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT GM KNOWS IS DEFECTIVE AND A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW IS IT A VEHICLE MANUFACTURER CAN SELL A VEHICLE WITH A DEFECTIVE PART? THIS IS A SEALED PART THAT THE OWNER CANNOT REPAIR ON THEIR OWN. THIS ISSUE IS NOT DUE TO OWNER NEGLECT OR MISUSE BUT MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *TR

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HWY ON APPROXIMATELY 04/08/2020 I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THEN A TICKING SOUND. I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO LOOK AT THE MOTOR TO FIND THAT 4 OF MY EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE BROKEN OFF. BOTH OF THE FRONT AND REAR BOLTS ON BOTH MANIFOLDS WERE MISSING AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE EXHAUST PORT WAS LEAKING. AFTER TAKING IT TO A SHOP TO BE LOOKED AT, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM V8 ENGINES AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF SOMEONE GETS OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEY OR ANOTHER OPERATOR ISN'T PAYING ATTENTION, SOMEONE COULD GET RUN OVER. I DON'T HAVE ANY PICTURES AS MY SUV IS IN THE SHOP BEING REPAIRED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I TOOK MY CAR TO GMC BECAUSE I LIVE ON A HILL AND WHEN I PARK MY CAR THEN PUT IT INTO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE BRAKES DON'T FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE BRAKES SLIDE AND SKIP AND THE VEHICLE HAS A VERY HARD TIME STOPPING. IT HAPPENS WHILE PUTTING THE CAR INTO PARK ON ANY HILL, THEN PUTTING IT BACK INTO GEAR. IT ALSO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING A SLOW SPEED ON FLAT GROUND. GMC FOUND THE PROBLEM AND STATED IT'S UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY #N182202780-01. I'VE ALMOST HAD IT TOWED MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO CONTINUE DRIVING, I'D HAVE TO GO EXTREMELY SLOW DOWN HILLS IN FEAR THE BRAKES WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HOLD ME BACK IF I GAINED SPEED. GMC DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE IN AND STATES THEY WON'T PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR. I AM PREGNANT, SO IF I GET IN A CRASH GOING 5MPH, IT DOESN'T MATTER, I'LL STILL HAVE TO GET CHECKED BY A DOCTOR. I'M AN ESSENTIAL WORKER AND STILL NEEDING TO HAVE A DAILY VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THERE IS A FOUND/KNOWN BRAKE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE WHEN THERE WAS BEEN OVER 100 ACCIDENTS. THEY NEED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR AND FIX IT.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY BRAKE LIGHTS WILL WORK ONE MINUTE AND GO OUT THE NEXT. I HAD A FRIEND AND MY HUSBAND TELL ME THAT WHEN THEY WERE FOLLOWING ME THE LIGHT WAS OUT WHEN I STOPPED BUT AT THE NEXT STOP OR AT HOME IT WOULD WORK. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. LAST WEEK I TOOK IT FOR STATE INSPECTION AND THE INSPECTOR SAID IT WAS OUT I HAD TO GET IT REPLACED. WHEN I PULLED FORWARD IT STARTED WORKING AGAIN TO PASS INSPECTION. TODAY I TOOK MY YUKON TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND IT WENT OUT AGAIN. OTHERS WAITING TOLD ME THIS IS A RECALL ON OTHER YEAR/MODELS WITH GMC. THERE IS A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT PANEL.

MY CAR HAS 60,000 MI ON A 2016. THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT ON PASSENGER SIDE AND I AM BEING TOLD BY DEALER I HAVE TO REPLACE THE COMPLETE ASSEMBLY- NOT JUST A BULB. ESTIMATED COST IS $800.00 FOR ONE SIDE. IN RESEARCHING I HAVE FOUND THIS ISSUE IS NOT UNCOMMON. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR WHAT SHOULD BE THE COST OF A BULB.

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS (BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS IN RED) STOP WORKING WITH NO WARNING TO THE DRIVER. THIRD BRAKE LIGHT DOES CONTINUE TO WORK. THIS IS NOTICED WHEN PARKED AND WHEN IN MOTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR OTHER DRIVERS CRASHING INTO OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW THAT WE ARE BRAKING. A FRIEND HAD TO POINT THIS OUT TO US IN THE SCHOOL PICKUP LINE. FIRST NOTICED ON 2/13/20. HAD TO BUY TWO NEW TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND INSTALL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE JUST TOOK IN TO HAVE VEHICLE LOOKED AND AND SAID IT WAS FIRST THE ELECTRICAL AND NOW IS THE MEMBRANE OF THE VEHICLE, CAUSING THE REMOTE START AND ENGINE LIGHT TO NOT WORK. ALSO CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CUT OUT DUE TO A PROBLEM IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. LOOKING UP THE VIN I SEE SOME OF THESE VEHICLE HAS THIS ISSUE BUT DOESN'T SHOW UNDER MY VIN. ALSO HAVE BEEN TOLD USING TONS OF OIL AND THIS HAS BEEN SEEN WITH THE GMC YUKONS. WE JUST HAD A VERY EXPENSIVE VISIT TO THE SHOP AND WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS PARTICULAR ISSUES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLES VIN. YOUR RESPONSE WILL BE APPRECIATED.

SUSPENSION
I ASKED MY MECHANIC TO CHECK THE ROUGH RIDE ON MY TRUCK WHEN HE SERVICED THE VEHICLE. HE SAID THE FRONT STRUTS WERE LOCKING UP AND I SHOULD TAKE IT TO MY DEALER. MY DEALER SAID THEY WERE LOCKED UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE STRUTS FOR APPROX. $2000. THEY SAY THEY HAVEN'T HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEM BUT THEY HAVE THEM IN STOCK AND THEY OFFER A LIFETIME WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAS VIRTUALLY NO FRONT SUSPENSION AND WHEN CHECKING DIFFERENT BLOGS ON LINE THERE APPEAR TO BE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE STRUTS LOCKING UP. WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE RIDE IS AS IF THERE WAS NO SUSPENSION. TRUCK HAS 52,000 MILES AND I'VE NEVER REPLACED SHOCKS (OR STRUTS) WITH THAT KIND OF MILEAGE. IT SEEMS TO GET WORSE BY THE DAY. I THINK GM HAS A DEFINITE PROBLEM WITH THE STRUTS AND I THINK IT'S DANGEROUS WITHOUT SUSPENSION MOVEMENT.
