EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FRONT LED TURN SIGNAL (WHICH SHOULD LAST FOR EVER) IS MALFUNCTIONING AND DESPITE PURCHASING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY COMPANY OR GM. QUOTED NEARLY $1,700 TO HAVE A TURN FUNCTIONING TURN SIGNAL AGAIN. THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACED. THIS WAS A $60K+ VEHICLE!?!?!?!?!?

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE PURCHASED A 2015 GMC YUKON XL DENALI IN JULY 2019 FROM JACKIE COOPER IN EDMOND, OK. IN DECEMBER 2019, WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS STARTED INTERMITTENTLY GOING OUT. SOME DAYS THEY WORK FINE, AND THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY DON'T WORK AT ALL. WE'VE EVEN HAD PEOPLE STOP US AND TELL US THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE "FLICKERING". THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN, AND WITH THE EXTRAORDINARY COST TO REPLACE ONE OF THESE LIGHTS, IT'S A BUDGETARY CONCERN, AS WELL. SINCE WE STARTED NOTICING IT, WE ALSO HAVE HEARD OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL AND YEAR THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE A DEFECTED PRODUCT WHICH NEEDS A BETTER SOLUTION. PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS ANOTHER SOLUTION BESIDES SPENDING $1,000-$1,500 TO REPLACE SOMETHING THAT USED TO BE A SIMPLE BULB I COULD FIND AT A AUTO PARTS STORE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING WITH MY VEHICLE IN AUTO 4WD, BECAUSE WE HAD ICY ROADS. MY VEHICLES REAR DRIVE SLIPPED ON SOME ICE AND THEN I GOT A MESSAGE INDICATING MY STABILIZER SYSTEM WAS NEEDING WORK, THEN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM (INSTRUMENTATION DASH) STARTED TO FLASH ON AND OFF. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF MY VEHICLE AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. I TRIED A 2ND TIME AND IT STARTED, PUT IT IN GEAR AND STARTED BACK OUT ON THE ROAD. MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO CRAZY ALL OF THE SUDDEN, ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLASH, MY POWER DOORS STARTED TO LOCK AND UNLOCK SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE ENGINE STARTED TO ACCELERATE ITS RPM'S, AND DOWN/UP SHIFTING MY GEARS, MY DASH BOARD INSTRUMENTS STARTED FLASHING, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING FAN WAS SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN, THEN TURNING ON AND OFF. I THOUGHT MY VEHICLE WAS POSSESSED BY A DEMON REALLY PUTTING A SCARE IN ME. I WAS SCARED THAT IT WAS GOING TO ACCELERATE AND I WAS NOT IN CONTROL AT ALL, SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. IT WOULD NOT RESTART ONCE AGAIN, ON MY 3RD ATTEMPT IT STARTED. I PUT IT IN GEAR AND IT WENT GOOD. I THINK THE INSTRUMENTATION FLASHED MAYBE ONE OR TWO TIMES, BUT OVERALL IT WAS DRIVING, THANK GOD, BECAUSE IS WAS COLD OUT AND I WAS IN A RURAL AREA. FOUR DAYS LATER I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO WORK, WENT OUT TO TAKE IT TO LUNCH AND IT WOULD NOT START, NOTHING WOULD WORK, COMPLETELY DEAD. I HAD IT TOWED TO SHOTTENKIRK CHEVROLET IN QUINCY, IL, WHICH IS WHERE IT IS AWAITING THE DIAGNOSTIC REPORT. 1/16/2020. I CANNOT TELL YOU ENOUGH, THE WHOLE ORDEAL SCARED THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME.

MY VEHICLE IS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD. THE RIGHT REAR LED TAILLIGHT HAS FAILED. THE TAILLIGHT NO LONGER WORKS. IT DOES NOT WORK WITH THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS OR WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE 2016 GMC YUKONS. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $900.00 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING.

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS AND BREAK LIGHTS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THEY ARE MORE THAN $700 EACH AND GM KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE NO LIGHTS AVAILABLE, THEY ARE ON BACKORDER FOR WEEKS. YOU CAN FIND A FIX ONLINE BY RESOLDERING A METAL PIECE THAT CAN TEMPORARILY FIX THE PROBLEM.

MY DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHT WENT OUT. DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE AS MY 2016 WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF LIGHTS THAT THEY HAVE HAD TO REPLACE. I HAD TO ORDER AND AFTERMARKET LIGHT TO REPLACE MYSELF. THE VERY NEXT DAY AFTER REPLACING THE LIGHT, MY PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT IS NOW OUT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! SO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ONLINE. THIS FIRST HAPPENED TO DRIVE SIDE AROUND JULY 2019.WE WERE FINALLY ABLE TO REPLACE THE LIGHT IN JAN 2020. THE PASSENGER TAILLIGHT WENT OUT 1/13/2020.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WE HAVE HAD OUR 2016 YUKON XL FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. LAST YEAR WE STARTED EXPERIENCING EPISODES WHERE THE VEHICLE WILL SHIFT DOWN INTO REDUCED POWER MODE WITH P0090 AND P0091 AS THE FAULT CODES. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALER, BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES OR SO IT CLEARS AND LEAVES NO TRACE OF AN ISSUE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND RECENTLY SHIFTED INTO REDUCED POWER LEAVING US ONLY ABLE TO DRIVE 35 MILES PER HOUR. WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY IN MARYLAND WITH CARS FLYING AROUND US AT ~80 MILES PER HOUR. WE HAD ALL OF OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND WERE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE. THE REDUCED POWER MADE IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO GET TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER SAFELY. I HAVE A FRIEND WITH A NEW GMC SIERRA THAT HAS THE SAME ISSUE. HE DROPPED IT OFF AT HIS DEALER FOR 3 WEEKS AND RETURNED IT FINDING ANY ISSUES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALL IT WILL TAKE IS SOMEONE DYING TO TURN IT INTO A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
