BRAND NEW YUKON XL 2018 5250 MILLS, THE AC TAKES A LONG TIME TO COOL DOWN AT LEAST 15 TO 20 MINUTES. I AM IN MIAMI,FL AND WITH 95 FAHRENHAIT AND 3 KIDS IN THE CAR. GMC AFTER 6 WEEKS OF TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM JUST LET ME KNOW THAT THE AC IS WORKING AS DESIGN AND THERE IS NOTHING TO DO. IN THIS 6 WEEKS I GOT A YUKON AS A LOANER AND THE AC WAS WORKING PERFECT, THE AC TOOK 3 MIN TO COOL DOWN EVERY TIME YOU TURN IT ON.

RIGHT TAIL LIGHT BEGAN TO NOT WORK LAST FALL. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED THEN IT WAS WORKING FINE. WENT IN FOR ABOUT A MONTH. SOMETIMES IT WORKED THEN IT WASN'T. ALMOST LIKE IT HAD A SHORT. EVENTUALLY HAD TO REPLACE WHOLE SYSTEM NOT JUST A BULB. NOW ALMOST ONE YEAR LATER THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING ON THE LEFT SIDE. THIS IS A $1,000 ITEM. I HAVE OWNED CARS FOR TEN YEARS AND NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A LIGHT. READ ONLINE THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THESE TAIL LIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BAD LED BRAKE LIGHTS: WE PURCHASED OUR GMC YUKON XL 2015 IN MAY 2016. SINCE THEN WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS(1 AFTER A YEAR-MARCH 2017 AND THE 2ND AFTER 2 YEARS-AUG 2018) AND HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE ONLY 2 YEARS. THEY ARE LED LIGHTS SO NOT A CHEAP REPAIR. QUOTED COST $750-$2000. SO FAR, OUR WARRANTY HAS COVERED THE REPAIRS BUT ONCE WARRANTY IS OFF, IT WILL COST TOO MUCH TO REPAIR AND IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT REPAIRING! WE HAVE HAD MANY VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND HAVE ONLY REPLACED BRAKE LIGHTS 2-3 TIMES AND FOR LESS THAN $25 EACH TIME. THIS APPEARS TO BE A BAD DESIGN OR FAULTY PARTS BY GMC. ONE OF THE FAILURES WAS DUE TO INTERNAL SHORT IN THE LED MODULE. WE WOULD LIKE GMC TO RESOLVE THE FAULTY PARTS AND RECALL THE PART AND FULLY REPLACE OUR BRAKE LIGHTS WITH RELIABLE LIGHTS VS LIGHTS THAT ONLY LAST A YEAR. THANK YOU!

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO WE NOTICED A SMALL CRACK AT THE CORNER OF THE 'LID' TO THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG. NOW WE HAVE A CRACK AT THE HUMP OF THE STEERING WHEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN TO US AS IT COULD RESULT IN TERRIBLE INJURY IN ANY NUMBER OF WAYS. 1THE AIR BAG COULD EXPLODE AT ANY TIME DUE TO THE CRACK IN THE LID AREA, WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WITHOUT THE RESULT OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT THUS HARMING ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT 2THE BROKEN DASH COULD RESULT IN TERRIFIC INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT AS THE BRITTLE PIECES AND SHARP EDGES OF CRACKED PLASTIC BECOME FLYING IN THE CAR 3THE AIRBAG COULD MISFIRE DUE TO THE DAMAGED LID (FOR EXAMPLE; HITTING AND BREAKING THE WINDSHIELD AND NOT PROTECTING THE HEAD OF THE PASSENGER) CAUSING FURTHER INJURY AND HARM 4THE CRACK IN THE PLASTIC OF THE DASHBOARD COULD BE EVEN MORE EXTENSIVE THAN WE CAN SEE. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD COULD BE DEFECTIVE AND CRACKED AND SUDDENLY FALL OFF AS THE RESULT OF A BUMP OR POTHOLE CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT 5THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD PLASTIC COULD HAVE CRACKS THAT WOULD CAUSE WIRING TO BE PINCHED, CUT OR SEVERED CAUSING HEAT, FIRE, AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES 6SUN SHINING THRU THE WINDSHIELD COULD CAUSE THE CRACKS TO WIDEN 7OUR FAVORITE 87 YEAR OLD MOM USUALLY RIDES IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SHE IS IRREPLACEABLE AND INVALUABLE. 8THIS IS AND HAS BEEN A 'KNOWN' ISSUE TO GMC. 9WE ARE BOTH DISABLED AND ON FIXED INCOMES. WE ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS OURSELVES AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. SAFETY AND DEPENDABILITY IS ONE OF THE REASONS WE ALWAYS PURCHASED GMC YUKONS. THIS IS OUR 4TH GMC YUKON/SUBURBAN. WE NEVER DOUBTED THAT GMC MADE QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT WERE CONSUMER SAFE. NOW THIS DASHBOARD AIRBAG ISSUE HAS US VERY WORRIED AND CONCERNED FOR OUR HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ALL OUR FAMILY AND PASSENGERS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVERSIDE TAIL LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. CAR MILAGE IS IN THE 40,000'S. DIAGNOSTIC TEST AT DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED CONFIRMS " DRIVER REAR TAIL LIGHT SHORTED OUT INTERNALLY. RECOMMEND REPLACING DRIVER TAIL LIGHT. RECOMMEND TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY $899" . MY SISTER HAS A YUKON XL DENALI 2016 AND HAS THE SIMILAR ISSUE BUT BOTH OF HER TAIL LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING POSING A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. DRIVING IN MY AREA I SEE MANY NEWER YUKON XL WITH THE DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT OUT. LIGHTING IS NOT COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY AND COST TO FIX IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE, WHICH COULD MAKE THE AVERAGE DRIVER PUT OFF THE LARGE EXPENSE. THE TAIL LIGHT INTERMITTANTLY STOPS WORKING WHILE THE CAR IS ON, DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE CAR IS STATIONARY OR IN MOTION. SERVICE REP AT DEALERSHIP STATED THIS PROBLEM IS "COMMON".

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ANY VIBRATIONS OR CHANGES IN ROAD SURFACE AT SLOW SPEED OR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSES A CHANGE IN CABIN PRESSURE, WHICH CAUSES DISCOMFORT IN EARS AS WELL AS EARS POPPING. THIS "BUFFETING ISSUE" HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO A DEALERS ATTENTION, BUT THEY SAY THAT ITS NORMAL WITH GM'S LARGER SUV'S. IT'S A DESIGN FLAW AND OR MANUFACTURING FLAW THAT GM SHOULD STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT IS NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. SIGNAL WORKS, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT AND RUNNING LIGHT DOES NOT WORK. I GOT THIS VEHICLE IN APRIL 2014, TAILLIGHT STARTED GOING OUT EXACTLY 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $650 TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TAILLIGHT AND THAT IT WAS NOT REPAIRABLE. THE TAILLIGHT IS STILL OUT AND I REFUSE TO REPLACE IT SINCE I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER SIMILAR STORIES OF OTHER YUKONS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN IN COLD WEATHER (UNDER 60 DEGREES F) THE LIGHT USED TO FLICKER BUT NOT STAY ON. IT HAS BEEN HOT MOST OF THIS YEAR SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS STILL TRUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE RIGHT & LEFT REAR BRAKE LIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS INTERMEDATLY FAIL. I HAVE HAD MY RIGHT ONE FAIL, MY LEFT ONE FAIL AND ON ONE OCCASION BOTH FAILED (RIGHT, LEFT, BRAKE & RUNNING LIGHTS AT NIGHT TIME. I HAD PEOPLE FLAGGING ME DOWN AT INTERSECTIONS AND HAD FRIENDS TEXT ME WHILE THEY OBSERVED ME DRIVE AWAY. THE LIGHTS WOULD SOMEHOW BEGIN TO FUNCTION PROPERLY BUT IT IS UNKNOWN HOW LONG THEY WOULD REMAIN NON FUNCTIONING. THIS IS AN ENORMOUS SAFETY CONCERN! IT IS UNBELIEVABLE THAT GM HAS NOT RECALLED THE POORLY MANUFACTURED LED LIGHTS ON THEIR VEHICLES. THE FACT THAT THEY FUNCTION PROPERLY ONE DAY AND THEN DON'T FUNCTION THE NEXT IS UNACCEPTABLE. MY INITIAL QUOTE FROM GM TO HAVE THE LIGHT REPLACED WAS $1,600 FOR BOTH LIGHTS. RIDUCLOUS COST FOR A FOUR YEAR OLD $60K + VEHICLE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE TOP /THIRD BRAKE LIGHT SEEMED TO FUNCTION AT ALL TIMES OR WAS NEVER REPORTED TO ME AS NOT FUNCTIONING. I DON'T HAVE PHOTOS OF THE INOPERABLE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. BOTH
