ALL LED BRAKE TAIL LIGHTS SUDDENLY FAILED ON RIGHT REAR OF CAR. TOTAL ASSEMBLY CAN NOT HAVE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS/LIGHTS REPLACED AND IS A SEALED UNIT. GMC PRICE ON ASSEMBLY IS APPROXIMATELY $800.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW OR HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK VIOLENTLY AS IF IT WOULD FALL APART. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAPPELLINO BUICK GMC (5411 TRANSIT RD, BUFFALO, NY 14221) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER FAILURE AND A TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS COMPLETED. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO DRIVE FOR 200 MILES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE ANOTHER TRANSMISSION FLUSH WAS COMPLETED. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE SHEET METAL ON THE CROSS-MEMBER WAS CAUSING THE VIBRATION. THE CROSS MEMBER WAS REPAIRED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND A CLAIM WAS FILED. THE CONTACT WAS COMPENSATED FOR THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE WEST HERR DEALER AS THE VEHICLE WAS STALLING, THE RPMS INCREASED, AND THE TRACTION AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL ON THE VACUUM PUMP THAT CONTROLS THE BRAKES. MY BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND OF COURSE THEY ONLY COVERED THE RECALIBRATION OF THE VACUUM PUMP BUT NOT THE VACUUM PUMP ITSELF. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT I FEEL GMC SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IN FULL.

AIR BAGS
THERE HAS BEEN NO INCIDENT AS YET INVOLVING THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, FOR EIGHT YEARS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOCATED IN A GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF HIGH HUMIDITY AND TEMPS WHICH IS A FACTOR OF INSTABILITY WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. WE HAVE TRIED, UNSUCCESSFULLY, TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED BY OUR LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP.WE ARE FILING THIS COMPLAINT IN THE HOPE OF GETTING NHTSA TO ORDER GM TO DO THE RESPONSIBLE ACT OF REPLACING AIRBAGS IN AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE ANY MORE INJURIES HAPPEN.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
UNINTENDED SURGE OF ACCELERATION. WILL HAPPEN RANDOMLY ABOUT ONCE A WEEK WHEN UNDER SLIGHT ACCELERATION. IT FEELS LIKE THE ACCELERATOR GOES FULL THROTTLE FOR ONE SECOND, CAUSING A HUGE SURGE OF ACCELERATION, ALMOST PLOWING INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF US MULTIPLE TIMES. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WHILE IN REVERSE. DEALER EXAMINED THE CAR AND SAID THERE ARE NO CODES STORED IN THE COMPUTER AND COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WE GET THE CAR BACK TOMORROW AND MY FILE DRIVES IT WITH OUR 4 KIDS, SO THIS IS VARY SCARY (FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD). DEALER SUGGESTED IF WE DON'T TRUST THE CAR, WE CAN HAVE CAMERAS INSTALLED IN THE CAR TO CAPTURE THE PROBLEM SO WE CAN SHOW THEM. WE HAVE VERY LOW CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR AS IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE FIST TIME WE NOTICED THIS WAS IN THE AM, SO THE ENGINE WAS STILL COLD. STARTED ACCELERATING SLIGHTLY DOWN OUR RESIDENTIAL STREET AND THE CAR WENT TO FULL THROTTLE ON IT'S OWN FOR ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS (RPMS SKY ROCKETED). THE SECOND TIME WAS ABOUT A WEEK LATER WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE KIDS TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING (AGAIN WITH A COLD ENGINE). SHE PULLED OUT OF AN INTERSECTION AND THE HEAVY SUV WENT TO FULL THROTTLE ON ITS' OWN AGAIN, ALMOST CAUSING HER TO LOSE CONTROL. THE PROBLEM PRESENTS ITSELF ABOUT ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK. THE LAST TIME SHE WAS BACKING OUT IN REVERSE WHEN THIS OCCURRED, CAUSING HER TO ALMOST CRASH INTO SOMETHING. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THE ONLY THING IN COMMON BETWEEN ALL OCCURRENCE IS THAT THE ENGINE WAS COLD, THE AC WAS ON, AND THAT WE WERE UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION WHEN THE SYMPTOM PRESENTED ITSELF.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
USUALLY OCCURS WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR. WHILE IN GEAR AND CREATING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE, THE CAR SURGES AT A HIGH RPM ALL BY ITSELF, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENS REGULARLY (ABOUT 2 TIMES A WEEK) BUT PROBLEM CANNOT BE RECREATED IN DEMAND. THE CAR HAS THE 6.2L MOTOR AND 10 SPEED TRANSMISSION. THIS DEFECT WILL END UP HURTING OR KILLING SOMEONE. MY WIFE STILL DRIVES AROUND THIS BRAND NEW VEHICLE, BUT I'M SCARED TO LET HER CONTINUE DRIVING IT.
