EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICE OFFICER AND TOLD THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT IS NOT WORKING. BLINKER AND REVERSE LIGHT WORK, BUT NOT THE BRAKE LIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN NO IMPACTS AND THERE IS NOT ANY CRACK OR MOISTURE INSIDE THE LIGHT HOUSING.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECALL ON THE VACUUM PUMP THAT CONTROLS THE BRAKES. MY BRAKES WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND OF COURSE THEY ONLY COVERED THE RECALIBRATION OF THE VACUUM PUMP BUT NOT THE VACUUM PUMP ITSELF. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR THAT I FEEL GMC SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IN FULL.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WENT ON AND OFF, THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. LESS THAN 6 MOTHS LATER THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT IS DOING THE SAME THINGS. BOTH TIMES HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED DUE TO POLICE STOPS WITH A CAR THAT HAS LESS THAN 75,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, REVIEW THE LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2015 YUKON DENALI XL WITH 53K MILES.A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ONE BAKE/TAILLIGHT STARTING FLICKERING. IT WOULD WORK AT TIMES AND THEN NOT AT ALL OTHER TIMES. LAST WEEK, BOTH OF THE BAKE/TAILLIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT! I HAVE NO LIGHTS IN THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I WAS PULLED OVER TWICE IN ONE WEEKEND FOR THIS!! I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE NOT KNOWING THAT BOTH OF MY LIGHTS WERE NOW NOT WORKING! IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT THEY ARE BURNT OUT BECAUSE IT I MESS WITH THEM FROM THE OUTSIDE, THEY WILL FLICKER A LITTLE BIT. OF COURSE FACTORY WARRANTY IS EXPIRED AND NEW LIGHTS ARE AT LEAST $800 A PIECE!! THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!

SERVICE BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. GEOFF PENSKE BUICK GMC (100 S MUSEUM RD, SHILLINGTON, PA 19607, (484) 525-0979) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBERS: 9-5487572705 AND 9-5520075396. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THEY FIRST STOPPED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY BUT THEN COMPLETELY WENT OUT, WITHIN ONLY 3-4 YEARS OF NEW. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY COMMON AND REPRESENTS EITHER, AT BEST, A VERY POOR DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING OR, AT WORST, A PLANNED-IN DEFECT IN ORDER TO STEAL MONEY FROM CONSUMERS WHO ALREADY PAID HANDSOMELY FOR A VEHICLE. SINCE THE LED HOUSING IS A SINGLE SEALED UNIT, DEALERS STATE THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT AN APPROXIMATE COST OF $700 PER LIGHT. WHILE IT'S TRUE THAT LIGHTS CAN 'GO OUT', A CONTINUED FAILURE OF THE SAME PART (RESEARCH SHOWS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE POINT CAN BE FOUND IN EACH CIRCUMSTANCE) SHOULD REPRESENT GROSS NEGLIGENCE IN MANUFACTURING WHICH ONLY A RECALL NOTICE CAN SATISFY.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS I LOSE BREAKING POWER. IT TAKES BOTH FEET PRESSING AS HARD AS I CAN TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I HAVE NEARLY HIT TWO CARS WHILE PARKING AND SEVERAL IN TRAFFIC WHILE IN RUSH HOUR. IT FEELS AS THOUGH I LOSE VACUUM. IF I INCREASE THE RPM'S ON THE VEHICLE I REGAIN VACUUM. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PARKING.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR LIGHT WENT OUT. IT CANNOT BE FIXED WITH THE CHANGE OF A BULB. THE ENTIRE PIECE HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE AND TALKING TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE/MODEL THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND GMC HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE LED TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. SAW THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NHTSA MANY TIMES (OVER 400) BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL. TO FIX THE TAIL LIGHT THE ENTIRE FIXTURE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT DEALER FOR A COST OF $900 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS THERE WAS NO INDICATOR TO TELL ME THAT THE TAIL LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE OUT! ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN A FRIEND WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME AND TOLD ME ABOUT IT. SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NEITHER A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY GM OR A MANDATED RECALL BY THE NHTSA. DEFINITELY NEEDS ADDRESSING. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON 2015-2017 YUKONS SO THERE APPEARS TO BE EITHER A DEFECTIVE PART OR BAD DESIGN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY FOR MONTHS. SINCE THE PROBLEM BEGAN I'VE BEEN HAVING BATTERY ISSUES AND NOW BATTERY AND LIGHT ARE COMPLETELY DEAD. DEALER SAID IT WOULD BE $800 FOR LIGHT. THERE WAS NO INDICATOR/SENSOR THAT SHOWED THE LIGHT WAS OUT. I FOUND OUT BY ANOTHER DRIVER WHO PULLED UP NEXT TO ME AND TOLD ME. DRIVING AROUND I'VE SEEN MANY VEHICLES (SAME MODEL) WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE UNLESS SOMEONE TELLS US WE DON'T KNOW THE LIGHT IS OUT AND THEY ARE PREMATURELY GOING OUT. THE COST IS RIDICULOUS! THIS IS MY SECOND GMC AND I DID NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS LIKE THIS BEFORE. THIS IS THE CAR I DRIVE MY CHILDREN AROUND IN! IT IS APPARENT THAT IT IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE. GMC NEEDS TO DO RIGHT BY ITS CUSTOMERS, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT!
