SERVICE BRAKES
ON 9/25/18 WHILE APPLYING BRAKES THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS AND VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THANK GOD IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY THIS OCCURRED. MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER CAME HOME FROM WORK ON 9/27/18 AND CHANGED PADS, LUBED CALIPER SLIDERS, AND VERIFIED PROPER CALIPER OPERATION. SPENT 9/26/18 TALKING WITH THE DEALER AND CHECKING RECALLS. ALL THESE REPAIRS WERE SUGGESTED BY THE LOCAL DEALER, BY THEM OF COURSE. UPON TEST DRIVE AFTER NEW PADS WERE INSTALLED, THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED. DRIVING FORWARD THE BRAKES OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD OR AT LEAST FEEL NORMAL.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT GEARS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO PROCEED WELL UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT. THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO INCREASE SPEED SLOWLY AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED, THE ENGINE REVER BUT THE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE. THIS CAUSED CARS AT THE CORRECT SPEED TO VEER OUT OF THE LANE TO AVOID A CRASH. ONCE OFF THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE WAS HESITANT TO SHIFT GEARS AND EMITTED LOUD REVVING SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE. PROCEEDING FROM A STOP AT A RED LIGHT THE VEHICLE HESITATED MOVEMENT CAUSING THE WHEELS TO SPIN ON THE PAVEMENT AND AGAIN CARS TO VEER QUICKLY OUT OF THE PATH.

MY RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT WORKS ON AND OFF FOR ABOUT A YEAR . I HAVE 41,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND NOW THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT ALSO SO I POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE TWO BRAKE LIGHTS OUT AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE SEEN SEVERAL OF THE SAME CAR IS ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM GMC DENIES THE PROBLEM AND CHARGES $800 PER TAIL LIGHT TO FIX IT'S A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY FAMILY IS SAFE AND I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THEIR FAULTY LIGHT EQUIPMENT. THEY WON'T RECOGNIZE THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ISSUE IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN LOOKING UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME MODEL CAR.

THIS WILL BE THE 3RD TIME IN THE LAST 4 YEARS I HAVE EXPERIENCED MY YUKON XL 2004 MODEL COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN WHILE ALL 3 TIMES DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT A SPEED AVERAGE OF 65 MPH. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL. ALL 3 TIMES HAVE BEEN WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OVER A 4 HOUR PERIOD FOR FAMILY VACATION. MOST RECENTLY WAS THIS PAST LABOR DAY WEEKEND. WE HAVE REPLACED SENSORS, FUEL PUMP, AND MOST RECENTLY HAD THE ENGINE REPLACED WHICH IS WHY I KNOW FOR CERTAIN IT CANNOT BE RELATED TO ANY OF THE ABOVE. THANKFULLY I WAS NEAR A EXIT RAMP EACH TIME AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY. ALL 3 TIMES I HAVE WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL START BACK UP -AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FRONT RIGHT LED DAYLIGHT LIGHT IS OUT. CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, AND PART IS APPROXIMATELY $750 TO REPLACE, VICE JUST A BULB SWAP. CAR HAS ABOUT 90K MILES ON IT. LED DAYLIGHT IS NOT ABLE TO BE REPAIRED. I BELIEVE IT'S REFERRED TO AS DRL. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPLACE IN WARRANTY, BECAUSE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY - AND REPLACEMENT FOR A LIGHT IS OVER $700....ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSUSTAINABLE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS MODEL IS A 2015 MODEL. OVER THE LIFE OF THIS VEHICLE, HOW MANY TIMES AM I EXPECTED TO REPLACE A $750 LED HOUSING?
