THE WHOLE BACK TAIL LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER FAILING. POOR DESIGN AND A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2015-2017 GMC YUKONS. THERE IS A COMMON AREA THAT BREAKS. NOT ONLY A BIG EXPENSE BUT ALSO A LARGE WASTE OF MATERIAL CONSIDERING THE WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED. COST IS OVER $800.00 AND THE DEALER BUYS BACK THE OLD LIGHT FOR $50 SEEMS A BIT SUSPICIOUS BY GMC. THESE LAMPS ARE A SEALED UNIT AND WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO BE REPAIRED. AS DESIGNED, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THE LAMP IS REPLACED AS A COMPLETE AND VERY EXPENSIVE UNIT.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MULTIPLE PEOPLE THAT ONE OR BOTH OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS HAS NOT BEEN WORKING. I HAVE TESTED THEM MYSELF AND I TOO GET MIXED RESULTS. SOMETIMES ONE WORKS AND OTHER TIMES NEITHER. BEING THAT I DRIVE 30 MINUTES TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN.

TURN SIGNAL FAILURE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CAUSE BY CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY. COST $1300 TO REPLACE AND GET A NEW TURN SIGNAL. A TURN SIGNAL IS $5, BUT THEN INTEGRATED LEDS COST $1300 BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY.

SERVICE BRAKES
POWER BREAKING FAILS WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, BRAKE PEDAL STIFF AND HARD TO PUSH DOWN TO STOP VEHICLE IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE DIRECTIONS WHEN INCHING FORWARD AT A STOP LIGHT/SIGN, OR PARKING IN A PARKING LOT IN FORWARD AND REVERSE CAR KEEPS MOVING. STOPPING REQUIRED VERY HARD PUSH ON THE STIFF BRAKE PEDAL.. BRAKING AT HIGHER SPEEDS LESS AFFECTED BUT SUDDEN STOPS CAN REQUIRE MORE FORCE THAN USUAL AS THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. PROBLEM BEGAN DECEMBER 2017 RARELY AND INTERMITTENTLY, AND INCREASED TO ALL THE TIME BY FEBRUARY 2019 AT LOW SPEEDS THE POWER BRAKE DID NOT WORK AND REQUIRED MUCH FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP VEHICLE EVERY TIME. BRAKE FLUID WAS FINE AND SO WAS BRAKE PADS. GM DEALERSHIP VISIT SHOWED A FAILURE OF THE VACUUM PUMP FOR BRAKE LINE AND THEY INSTALLED A REDESIGNED PUMP WHICH SHOWS THAT THE ORIGINAL HAS FAULTY DESIGN. THEY ALSO REQUIRED A BELT THAT OPERATES PUMP TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR NOW BUT THIS REPAIR HAS A TWO YEAR GUARANTEE. PRICE FOR ME TO FIX OVER $881+TAX.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY 2016 GMC YUKON XL RECENTLY BEGAN HAVING A HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHEN REVERSING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS, OR WHEN ROLLING DOWNHILL. A COUPLE OF TIMES, WHEN ROLLING FORWARD DOWNHILL IT MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING ME TO RUN INTO A DITCH. . THE HARD BRAKE PEDAL HAD CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS (OR FORWARDS) UNTIL I SHIFTED IT IN TO GEAR OR GAVE IT GAS. A FEW TIMES I ALMOST HIT VEHICLES AND PEDESTRIANS IN MY SON'S SCHOOL CARPOOL LANE. THERE IS NO WARNING. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. JUST THE HORRIBLE ROCK HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHICH TURNS OUT TO BE A FAULTY VACUUM PUMP PER NAPA JIMMY VASSER CHEVROLET, THAT HAS NOW COST ME $711.00 BECAUSE IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY CAR HAS 54,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
OUR YUKON ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WILL JUST DISPLAY REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND SPEED WILL DECREASE RAPIDLY. I HAVE PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF REMOVED KEY WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN STARTED THE TRUCK AND IT MAY RUN FINE OR MAY JUST CONTINUE TO HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER. BETWEEN THE TOW BILLS AND SHOP FEES I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN THE TRUCK IS WORTH. WE HAVE TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND SPENT OVER 5K FOR THEM TO STATE THE CAN NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY SAY THERE ARE NO CODES. THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT RUN NORMAL FOR A SHORT PERIOD AND THERE IS NO PATTERN. IT HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS JUST COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND THEREFORE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES OCCURS. MAKING THIS VERY DANGEROUS. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT 80 MPH. THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. I AM NOT SURE WHY GMC HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I SAW SEVERAL OTHER BLOGS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. I LOVED MY TRUCK UP UNTIL THESE ISSUES STARTED, PREVIOUS TO THIS THE TRUCK HAD A PARASITIC DRAW THAT AFTER 3 YEARS MY BROTHER FIGURED OUT NOT GM OR ANY OTHER MECHANIC. THAT WAS THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL MODULE FOR THOSE THAT MAY BE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. IS THERE A WAY TO ENCOURAGE GM TO DO A RECALL? I NOW HAVE A USELESS TRUCK SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR TAIL LIGHT / BRAKE LIGHT QUIT WORKING WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS DENIED COVERED. THE UNIT IS A COMPLETE LED ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED. THE PRICE QUOTED WAS $700 FOR THE ASSEMBLY. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE AND GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT COVER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OWNERS WHO SUDDENLY HAVE NO TAIL OR BRAKE LIGHTS ON THEIR NEW/NEWER VEHICLES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING ISSUES. REAR RUNNING LIGHTS NOT WORKING. REAR BREAK LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING. RIGHT SIDE BLINKER NOT WORKING IN FRONT HEAD LAMP OR REAR LIGHTING FIXTURE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS HOOKED TO THE COMPUTER AT A GM DEALERSHIP THE COMPUTER WILL NOT SHOW WHAT THE ISSUE IS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I CAN NOT SAFETY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT DUE TO NO LIGHTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE NOR DURING THE DAY WITHOUT BREAK LIGHTS.

BRAKE PEDAL IS STIFF AT LOW SPEEDS. THE PEDAL LOCKS UP AND STOPPING IS DELAYED 2 TO 3 FEET. IT MAKES OPERATING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE. OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS DELAYED STOPPING DISTANCE AND STIFF BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS.
