EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY CAR IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 24,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE I WORK FROM HOME. I SPECIFICALLY LEASE CARS SO I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ISSUES. THIS CARS REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS! THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE TO REPLACE A GREAT DEAL OF THESE IN CARS NOT VERY OLD LIKE MINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR BRAKE LIGHTS TO BE GOING OUT ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR! IT HAS BEEN OUT FOR MONTHS AND I WAS JUST PROCRASTINATING BECAUSE YOU MUST GO TO A DEALERSHIP SHOP TO GET IT REPLACED. YOU CANNOT GET IT AT A PART STORE YOURSELF SO MY CAR PROBABLY ONLY HAD 20,000-21,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED.

SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
BRAKES DO NOT WORK AT LOW SPEEDS. GMC TOLD ME THAT THE PARTS HAD BEEN BOUGHT BACK BY GM AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX IT 8 MONTHS AGO AND NOW THEY STATE THERE IS A SPECIAL WARRANTY ADDED EXCEPT MY MILEAGE IS OVER THE WARRANTY! BRAKES EITHER ARE HARD AS A BRICK TO PUSH OR/AND DON'T WORK AT ALL. I WAS TOLD TO REV THE ENGINE WHEN GOING SLOW OR BACKING UP IN ORDER TO MAKE THE BRAKES FUNCTION PROPERLY. THAT WAS THE ADVICE FOR A MOTHER OF 4 CHILDREN. AC IS ALSO BLOWING HOT AIR.

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.

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.

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.

THIS OCCURRED COMING TO A STOP AT LIKE AN INTERSECTION OR AS STATED BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT.

SERVICE BRAKES
LOW SPEED BRAKE FAILURE: AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME FIRM AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP IN AN APPROPRIATE TIME. THIS LED TO TWO NEAR ACCIDENTS. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN A LINE OF CARS THAT WAS STOP AND GO PICKING UP CHILDREN AT AFTER SCHOOL. SERIOUS CONCERN THAT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP AND INJURE CHILDREN TRYING TO LOAD OR UNLOAD. THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO OCCUR ONLY AT LOW SPEEDS ONLY.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS (5 MPH OR BELOW) THE BRAKES FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS STIFF AND OFFERED LITTLE PRESS. PRESSING THE PEDAL EXTREMELY HARD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SINGLE DAY, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT IN TRAFFIC AND DID CAUSE ME TO BUMP INTO OUR GARAGE WALL. WHEN A I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO BE SERVICED, THE VACUUM PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. OUR VEHICLE AS 39,800 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT: TECHNICAL BULLETIN PIT5361B EXISTS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS RECENTLY BEEN FILED (HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/NEWS/2018/GM-BRAKE-VACUUM-PUMP-FAILURES-LAWSUIT.SHTML) A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS MULTIPLE SIMILAR ISSUES. COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $900 AT GMC DEALER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT STOP WORKING, VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD. WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE SO SOON OR AT ALL, SINCE LED LIGHTS NORMALLY DONT STOP WORKING. I ALSO LOOKED INTO FIXING IT AND ITS GONNA COST $700 DOLLARS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
