EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AND THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $800 TO REPLACE THE MODULE. PREVIOUSLY I HAD A 2016 YUKON XL AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AROUND 40K MILES. MY SISTER-IN-LAW ALSO HAS A 2016 YUKON XL AND ONE OF HER TAIL LIGHTS DID THE SAME THING. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2015 AND 2016 YUKON XL MODELS AND GM SHOULD BE REPLACING THESE PARTS AT NO COST TO THESE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
BRAKES WERE NOT 100% RESPONSIVE STARTING IN SUMMER 2019; VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED PURSUANT TO RECALL IN LATE 2019 AND SOFTWARE ERROR RELATED TO BRAKING WAS ADDRESSED BY DEALER IN JANUARY 2020. CUSTOMER STATED TO DEALER THAT BRAKES ARE STILL NOT 100% RESPONSIVE, AND THAT BRAKES WILL PULSE A FEW TIMES WHEN PRESSED AND BEFORE THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY STARTS TO STOP. DEALER REFUSED TO CONSIDER THAT EXISTING ISSUES WITH LAST TWO RECALLS IN 2019 RELATED TO BRAKES COULD BE CAUSING NON-RESPONSIVE BRAKES.

WHEELS
THE VEHICLE CAME EQUIPPED FROM THE DEALER WITH NON STANDARD 22" ALUMINUM RIMS AND LOW PROFILE TIRES. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 15 MONTHS - IN THAT TIME WE HAVE HAD FOUR FLAT TIRES (TWO BLOW OUTS), A BROKEN RIM, AND A BROKEN BALL JOINT. ALL OF THESE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON PAVED ROADS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY ACCIDENT OR A COLLISION WITH AN OBJECT.

REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT IT IS NOT COVERING COST TO REPLACE WHICH DEALER SAYS WILL BE OVER $700. WAS TOLD THAT GMC KNOWS THESE LIGHTS ARE NOT LASTING AS LONG, SO THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OF THE LIGHTS, BUT I AM STILL OUT DUE TO MILES ON MY CAR. THE PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY GOES TO 125K MILES, BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER.

THE AIR CONDITIONING IN MY 2017 YUKON XL STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC CONDENSERS. I BROUGHT MY YUKON TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT INDEED IT WAS THE CONDENSER WHICH CAUSED REFRIGERANT TO LEAK. HOWEVER, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 17336 AS MY VIN # WAS NOT INCLUDED FOR SOME REASON. SAME PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY POCKET - $1200. I LIVE IN THE DEEP SOUTH, HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, AND CANNOT GO WITHOUT AC.
