GMC 2016 YUKON XL DENALI BACK TAILLIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. ALL OF THEM. VERY DANGEROUS. GMC DENIED RESPONSIBILITY BUT EVERYONE I KNOW THAT HAS THE SAME CAR SAYS THEY HAVE HAD ISSUES. NEVER HAD THIS IN ANY OTHER VEHICLE IN 30+ YEARS OF DRIVING. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY FAULTY AND THEY NEED TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2015 YUKON XL HAS NO BRAKE LIGHT THAT IS WORKING ON THE LEFT SIDE. I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU COULD REPLACE THE BULB BUT AS I FOUND OUT, IT IS A LED SEALED UNIT THAT WAS NEVER MEANT TO GO OUT. NOW AS I LOOK UP THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHER YUKON XL OWNERS, I SEE THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH LOTS OF OWNERS! SO WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL ITEM BY NOW. APPARENTLY IT IS A BIG ISSUE! A NEW WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY TO FIX THIS ISSUE IS OVER 800 BUCKS! THESE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING ARE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!

THE REAR LED TAILLIGHTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THE PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT WORKED INTERMITTENTLY FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS WHILE BEFORE FAILING COMPLETELY, WHILE THE TAILLIGHT REMAINED WORKING. ANOTHER 6 MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND NEITHER THE BRAKE OR TAILLIGHT OPERATES. CURRENTLY, THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM SHOWS THAT THEY CAN BE CORRECTED, YET GMC DEALERSHIP HAS QUOTED $700 FOR EACH LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE FRONT COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK. I CAN SET A 1-3 BAR ALERT ON THE STEERING WHEEL, HOWEVER IN THE 3 MONTHS I'VE OWNED THE CAR AND TRYING DIFFERENT MANEUVERS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, I DON'T GET A AN AUDIBLE NOR VISUAL RED LIGHT WARNING THAT I'VE EXPERIENCED ON A NEWER CHEVY IMPALA I DRIVE. THE DASH INFO CENTER BELOW THE GAUGES WILL CHANGE FROM A GREEN SEMI-CIRCULAR 3 BAR SYSTEM TO A YELLOW IF I COME WITHIN THE 3 CAR LENGTHS SET OF ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE USING GOOGLE AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE SAY DIFFERENT GMC MODELS WITH THIS SYSTEM ALL BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY. EVERYONE USES THE YOU TUBE VIDEO BY GM AS THE EXAMPLE OF HOW IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. NOTE, MY WINDSHIELD NEXT TO THE REARVIEW MIRROR IS CLEAN, SO THE SENSORS ARE NOT IMPEDED. TO ME, SETTING THE SYSTEM TO THE MAXIMUM FORWARD DISTANCE TO AVOID A COLLISION GIVES YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY THAT COULD EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESIGNED.

THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD AND WOULD NOT COMPLETELY STOP THE VEHICLE AS VERY LOW SPEED IN THE DRIVEWAY. STOPPED AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND THE OPERATION WAS NORMAL. THIS HAS OCCURRED ONE TIME EARLIER SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE AND HAS OPERATED NORMALLY SINCE.

AFTER GETTING PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR A TAIL LIGHT THAT WAS OUT,I WAS IN MOTION AND THIS IS WHEN I STARTED MY RESEARCH. RIGHT TAIL LIGHT IS OUT, FAULTY PARTS. CHECKED ALL FUSE AND WIRE CONNECTION FOR CORROSION, BUT THER WAS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. GMC WANTS TO CHARGE $1,500 TO FIX. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE PAINT JOB. I AM AT 50,000 MILES AND THE PAINT IS ALREADY FADING. THE CLEAR COAT WAS SUPER THIN AND CHEAPLY DONE. GMC SAID THEY WOULD COVER ONLEY 25% OF A $6000 - $12,000 PAINT JOB

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAIL LIGHT ON 2015 GMC YUKON XL BROKE ON 7/18/19. AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP QUOTED $902.57 PARTS AND LABOR TO REPLACE. I COMPLAINED THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH AND THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE TAIL LIGHT IF IT COSTS THAT MUCH TO REPLACE. LED LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THE TAIL LIGHT. FILED A FORMAL WRITTEN COMPLAINT WITH GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 7/22/19. PURCHASED 2 NEW TAIL LIGHTS ONLINE FROM CARID.COM FOR $495.00 AND INSTALLED THE NEW TAIL LIGHTS MYSELF. GMC FINALLY REPLIED ON 7/31/19 MY CLAIM IS DENIED BECAUSE I INSTALLED THE REPLACEMENT TAIL LIGHTS MYSELF AND DID NOT HAVE THE DEALERSHIP INSTALL. GMC ADVISED IF THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED THEN THEY WOULD HAVE REFUNDED ME $495.00. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE WHO INSTALLED THE NEW REPLACEMENT LIGHT? DRIVING AROUND WITH A BROKEN TAIL LIGHT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND ALSO AGAINST THE LAW AND I HAD TO MAKE A QUICK DECISION WHILE IT TOOK GMC 9 DAYS TO REPLY AND IT WAS BY PHONE - STILL DO NOT HAVE WRITTEN CONFIRMATION. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE A STRANGE PROCEDURE WHEREBY YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. WHAT IF YOU HAVE SCHEDULED A BUSINESS TRIP OR HAVE TO ATTEND A MEETING? I HAVE SENT A WRITTEN APPEAL TO GMC PROTESTING THEIR DENIAL DECISION AND AT THE TIME OF WRITING HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY. BOTTOM LINE IS THAT DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE AND IT'S CAUSE FOR A TRAFFIC CITATION THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
