ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
EARLY IN THE MORNING I START UP THE TRUCK TO WARM IT UP. I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE AND AS SOON AS I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT COMES ON, THEN THE TRUCK GOES "LIMP MODE" (NOT ALLOWING THE TRUCK TO GO NO MORE THAN 20 MPH IN MOTION). I HAVE TO RESTART THE TRUCK 5 TIMES FOR THE "REDUCE ENGINE POWER" LIGHT TO TURN OFF. LEAVING THE "SERVICE ENGINE" LIGHT ON. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS EVERY MORNING, NO MATTER HOE LONG I WARM UP THE TRUCK. I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 3 YEARS AGO FROM A USED CAR LOT, AND I DIDNT START HAVING ISSUES UNTIL 1 YEAR AGO. THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY SEEMS TO BE THE ISSUE WITH ALL GM VEHICLES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS CLEARLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF MANY FORUMS : HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T53845_DS768963 THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND GMC SHOULD OFFER A RECALL FOR THEIR FAULTY LED LIGHTS.

ENGINE
5.3 SEVERE OIL CONSUMPTION. AFTER DEACTIVATING THE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IT DID SLOW THE CONSUMPTION BUT DID NOT ELEMINATE PROBLEM. NO OIL LEAKS ON ENGINE. MECHANIC SAID IT'S BURNING IT. SO HOW IS THE ECO FRIENDLY? I'VE OWED THIS VEHICLE SINCE 150K NOW I'M ABOUT 180K

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT THAT I HAVE MADE TO NHTSA. THE FIRST TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS SPONTANEOUSLY TURNING OFF AND SHUTTING DOWN DURING BACKING IN AND TURNS CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS RESULTED IN A RECALL, AND A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" THAT WAS DONE TWICE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. RIGHT AND BACK PASSENGER LIGHTS BEGAN TO BLINK ON AND OFF AND WATER GETS INTO THE BRAKE LIGHT. THE DEALER TOLD ME THIS WAS M ISSUE. THIS TIME THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT CAME AND THE CAR APPEARED TO BE STUCK IN "4WD LOW" MAKING IT "DRAG" AT A REDUCED SPEED WHEN DRIVING. ALSO, THE "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE" LIGHT CAME ON REPEATEDLY. I HAVE NEVER USED THE TRAILER BRAKE. I TOOK IT INTO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, SELLERS GMC IN FARMINGTON HILLS, MI. THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED A NEW "MODULE", SO I PAID TO HAVE THAT DONE. WITHIN ONE DAY THE SAME SERVICE LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. "SERVICE 4 WD" AND "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE." I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND AM NOW BEING TOLD IT NEEDS ANOTHER SOFTWARE UPDATE AND A NEW TRAILER BRAKE TRANSFER SWITCH. QUITE FRANKLY, I BELIEVE THAT THIS MODEL HAS SIGNIFICANT, UNADDRESSED COMPUTER SOFTWARE ISSUES AND THE DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHO TO FIX IT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT SPONTANEOUSLY STOPS WORKING APPROPRIATELY DURING DRIVING. THE CONCERNS HAVE BEEN VARIOUS AND ALWAYS SEEM TO AFFECT STEERING, WHEN TURNING OR BACKING IN. I AM BEING CHARGED FOR VARIOUS CONTROL PANELS AND MODULES. I AM REQUESTING THAT THIS CONCERN GETS ADDRESSED BEFORE THERE IS A SERIOUS INJURY. I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE FIXED AND RETURNED TO A SAFE CONDITION. I WAS NEVER TOLD UPON PURCHASE, THAT THIS MODEL WOULD REQUIRE SO MANY "SOFTWARE" UPDATES TO REMAIN SAFE. THIS SHOULD NOT BE A BURDEN PLACED ON A CONSUMER FOR A VEHICLE TO OPERATE SAFELY. THIS IS DANGEROUS.

TAKATA RECALL: HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT A 2016 AIRBAG RECALL IS STILL BEING DISPUTED IN 2019? HONDA REPLACED MY AIRBAGS IN MY ACCORD IN 2017. WHY HASN'T NHTSA DENIED GMC'S REQUEST AND FORCED THEM TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS? PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING AND GET THESE AIRBAGS REPLACED!!!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AT GENERAL MOTORS AT THE LACK OF QUALITY DESIGN IN THE REAR TAIL LIGHT LED ASSEMBLY. MY WIFE AND I HAVE OWNED GMC VEHICLES ALL OUR LIVES AND HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE DISSATISFIED WITH THE LACK OF QUALITY DESIGN IN THE REAR TAIL LIGHT LED DESIGN AND DESIGN LIFE. IN CONDUCTING RESEARCH THE LAST FEW DAYS, THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT AND WELL DOCUMENTED DESIGN FLAW THAT GM STILL HAS NOT ADDRESSED. LED LIGHTING WHEN DESIGN PROPERLY IS SUPPOSED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY MUCH LONGER THAN STANDARD BULB INCANDESCENT LIGHTING. THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE WE HAVE NO REAR LIGHTING AND THEN WE RECEIVE THE ESTIMATE FROM OUR DEALER "ROYAL BUICK GMC" AT OVER $1500. OBVIOUSLY, I AM FEELING SUCH FRUSTRATION BECAUSE MY REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY'S ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ON MY WIFE'S **** GMC YUKON XL SLT. OF COURSE AFTER THE INITIAL WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. COINCIDENCE, OR NOT VERY DISPLEASED? I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE CONTACT ME AT ***-***-**** OR BY EMAIL AND OFFER ASSISTANCE TO REPLACE THESE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES DUE TO THE QUALITY OR LACK THERE OF, IN THE PART. **SINCERELY DISGRUNTLED GM CUSTOMER!!! *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
DASH HAS 2 CRACKS. ONE ABOVE SPEEDOMETER. THE OTHER IS CRACKED ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH THAT SURROUNDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED 1/16/19. I AM SIMPLY ADDING MINE TO THE LARGE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS BECAUSE I BELIEVE IT MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD. NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN THERE, BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND GARAGED IT'S WHOLE LIFE.

DASH WAS MAKING A TERRIBLE SQUEAKING NOISE AND THEN ONE DAY IT STOPPED. CHECKED THE DASH OVER TO FIND 2 CRACKS, ONE BY THE PASSNAGER SIDE AIR BAG AND ANOTHER ON THE DRIVE SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I CONTACTED GM SINCE WE WERE OUTSIDE THE WARRANTY AND THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID SUCK IT UP NOT OUR PROBLEM. HOW HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED OR ADDRESSED WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS???!!!

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL HAVE BOTH GONE OUT. I HAVE BEEN PULLED OVER AND QUESTIONED ABOUT IT SEVERAL TIMES BY MY LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER STATE THAT THEY HAVE A LIFE OF 40,000 HOURS OF CONTINUOUS USE BUT, ONLY FUNCTION FOR A FRACTION OF THIS AMOUNT & THEY ARE $600-700 TO REPLACE.
