SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS I LOSE BREAKING POWER. IT TAKES BOTH FEET PRESSING AS HARD AS I CAN TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I HAVE NEARLY HIT TWO CARS WHILE PARKING AND SEVERAL IN TRAFFIC WHILE IN RUSH HOUR. IT FEELS AS THOUGH I LOSE VACUUM. IF I INCREASE THE RPM'S ON THE VEHICLE I REGAIN VACUUM. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PARKING.

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAD THE RECALL (N192268490) APPLIED TO MY YUKON ON 12 SEP. I ONLY EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL 2X PRIOR TO THE RECALL. SINCE THE RECALL I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE INCIDENTS MUCH WORSE THAN THAN THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM. TONIGHT THE BRAKES WERE SO BAD I OVER SHOT MY PARKING SPOT AND DROVE INTO SOME BUSHES. IF A HARD STRUCTURE WAS THERE I WOULD HAVE DAMAGED THE CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS REPEATABLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE "GRADE BREAKING ON" LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE BREAK PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND SHUTTERED. I EMPHASIZE THIS IS NEW SINCE THE RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR LIGHT WENT OUT. IT CANNOT BE FIXED WITH THE CHANGE OF A BULB. THE ENTIRE PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND TALKING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND GMC HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE LED TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. SAW THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NHTSA MANY TIMES (OVER 400) BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL. TO FIX THE TAIL LIGHT THE ENTIRE FIXTURE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT DEALER FOR A COST OF $900 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS THERE WAS NO INDICATOR TO TELL ME THAT THE TAIL LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE OUT! ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN A FRIEND WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME AND TOLD ME ABOUT IT. SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NEITHER A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY GM OR A MANDATED RECALL BY THE NHTSA. DEFINITELY NEEDS ADDRESSING. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON 2015-2017 YUKONS SO THERE APPEARS TO BE EITHER A DEFECTIVE PART OR BAD DESIGN.

THERE ARE 3 MAJOR CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD, TWO OF WHICH EMINATE FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OPENING. I SEE WHERE THERE ARE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THE DASH BOARD NOW MOVES UP AND DOWN AND RATTLES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT WHICH MUST BE ADDRESSED BY MANUFACTURER THROUGH A RECALL. THE CRACKS JUST APPEAR OUT OF NOWHERE. I TAKE EXCEEDINGLY GOOD CARE OF CAR BUT REPLACING AN ENTIRE DASHBOARD BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THANK YOU.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
VEHICLE SHAKES/VIBRATES ABOVE 35 MPH. WHEN VEHICLE ACCELERATES ABOVE 35 MPH THE THE STEERING WILL VIBRATE WITH A FEELING THAT THE SUSPENSION IS SHIMMYING/SHUDDERING RAPIDLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY BAD ON AN INCLINE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. AS THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES UP THE INCLINE, WHEN APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH IS ATTAINED, THE ENTIRE VEHICLE WILL STEADILY SHUDDER/VIBRATE. TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY VIBRATE IN THE FRONT END AND IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS OCCURS WITH BRAND NEW TIRES THAT HAVE BEEN BALANCED AND RE-BALANCED TO CONFIRM IT IS NOT TIRE RELATED.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LED BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL INTERMITTENTLY AND THEN COMPLETELY DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW OF WEAK CIRCUITRY. THE LED CIRCUIT BREAKS FROM FATIGUE IN THE BRAKE LIGHT HOUSING. THERE IS NO DASH NOTIFICATION TO TELL YOU WHEN A BRAKE LIGHT HAS FAILED. GM REPLACEMENT BRAKE LIGHTS COST $650 EACH BUT THEY HAVE THE SAME DESIGN FLAW. PICTURES ATTACHED.
