EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE GMC YUKON MODELS IN ALL TRIMS, HAVE FAULTY LED STRIPS THAT CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL ON THE LEFT, AND RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE FRUSTRATING PART IS IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY, AND WHEN IT'S OFF A SLIGHT TAP WILL MOMENTARILY BRING IT BACK ON FOR THE DURATION OF THE JOLT. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT IT'S FAULTY CONNECTION INSIDE THE SEALS BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ON OWNER FORUMS OF GMC YUKON'S . THIS IS KNOWN AS THE NEW YEAR MODELS 18-19 ARE NOT HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE A 2015 YUKON DENALI WITH ABOUT 63K MILES. MY TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. THE DRIVER SIGN WORKS RANDOMLY. AT TIME IT WORKS IN THE DAY AND NIGHT OTHERS IT APPEARS TO ONLY WORK IN NIGHT TIME OR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT DIRECTLY IN THE SUN DURING THE DAY. YESTERDAY EVENING I NOTICE THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS OUT INSTEAD OF THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE WENT TO GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY ALL SAY THAT THE PART NEEDS TO BE PLACE AND WILL COST AROUND $800 FOR ONE LIGHT. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN ALL GM MADE VEHICLES AND SEEMS TO BE MORE NOTICEABLE IN GMC YUKONS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SEVERAL PEOPLE MY LIGHT WAS OUT THEN IT POPS BACK ON AND EVEN THE POLICE HAS STOP ME FOR MY TAIL LIGHT BEFORE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE WARM TO ME AND MY FAMILY (TWO SMALL TODDLER) WHICH I TRANSPORT TO AND FROM SCHOOL OR SOMEONE ELSE FAMILY DUE TO ALOT OF YOUR CUSTOMERS MAINLY PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THEIR FAMILIES FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER. IT TROUBLES ME THAT WE PAY $60K - $70K FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE LIGHT WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. THIS ISSUES HAPPENS WHEN PARK AND DRIVING. I LIVE IN BATON ROUGE, LA AND I USE THE INTERSTATE TO GET TO AND FROM WORK EACH AND EVERY DAY. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE GMC PROVIDE A SOLUTION THAT FIXES THIS ISSUE AND NOT PROFIT OFF OF A BAD PART BUT FORCING IT'S CUSTOMERS TO CONSTANTLY HAVE TO REPLACE BAD TAIL LIGHTS. I LOVE MY GMC YUKON AND WILL CONTINUE TO PURCHASE ONE AS LONG AS I FEEL I'M GETTING A QUALITY VEHICLE FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I'M PAYING.

AFTER NO APPARENT IMPACTS OR EXTERNAL DAMAGE, THREE DIFFERENT LIGHTS HAVE FAILED OR BECOME ENDANGERED BY WETNESS. FIRST A TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR $827, THEN THE 3RD BRAKE LIGHT FOR $280, AND NOW THERE IS WETNESS VISIBLE INSIDE A HEADLIGHT (COSTING SOMETHING LIKE $900 TO REPLACE). *BF *JB *BF*JB

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, LESS THAN 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND CAR WILL NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT WILL ROLL TO A STOP. THIS CAN HAPPEN TRYING TO PULL INTO A TIGHT SPOT OR WHILE IN A DRIVE-THRU OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR SIMPLY YOUR OWN GARAGE OR BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY OR FOUR WAY STOP, THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I TOOK TO THE CERTIFIED DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED BUT APPARENTLY THE RECALL WILL NOT WORK ON MY VEHICLE AS THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED WAS OCT 2018 AND HAD ABOUT 80K MILES ON IT. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT IS A 2015 YUKON AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WANTS TO NOT RECALL FOR THE PART TO BE REPLACED BUT HAVE ANYONE HAVING THE PROBLEM COME IN AND SEE IF THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. THEN AT THAT TIME LETS CHARGE THE CUSTOMER WELL OVER $600 TO HAVE THE PUMP REPLACED INSTEAD OF MAKING IT RIGHT BY THE CUSTOMERS. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR ELSE WHERE TO HAVE THE PART REPLACED FOR HALF THE COST TO ME. THIS HAS BEEN A WASTE OF TIME AND I COULD HAD TAKEN ELSE WHERE TO BEGIN WITH MONTHS AGO, IF I WOULD HAD KNOWN THE TYPE OF RECALL THAT GMC WOULD BE GIVING. WHEN YOU PAY MORE THAN $60K FOR A VEHICLE THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER USED. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS 62,000 MILES. VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AFTER WORKING FINE THE DAY BEFORE. WENT TO USE AIR CONDITIONING AND IT WOULD ONLY BLOW HOT AIR. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE, AND WITH EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER OWNERS, THE AIR CONDITIONING FAILURES APPEARS TO BE A VERY COSTLY COMMON ISSUE BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN FOR REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. ALTHOUGH THIS ISSUE WAS NOT SPECIFICALLY SAFETY RELATED IN MY SITUATION, THE POTENTIAL FOR SAFETY CONCERNS EXIST. HAD THE AC FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WITH CHILDREN OR ANIMALS INSIDE COULD BE FATAL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2008 YUKON HAS HAD AN ELECTRICAL MYSTERY FOR AWHILE NOW. WHEN YOU OPEN THE DOORS THE "CHIME" WILL BE VERY FAINT AND THEN THE NEXT TIME IT'S VERY LOUD. THE CLOCK RESETS LIKE THE BATTERY HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK BY THEMSELVES WILL I'M DRIVING. I CAN TURN THE CAR OFF AFTER DRIVING IT AND IT WILL BE COMPLETELY DEAD. IT WONT DO ANYTHING. YOU CAN'T LOCK THE DOORS, TURN ON THE RADIO, START THE CAR OR ANYTHING. ALMOST LIKE IT DOESNT HAVE A BATTERY AT ALL. WAIT 10 MINUTES OR SO AND SLAM A FEW DOORS AND IT STARTS RIGHT UP. WE'VE REPLACED BATTERIES, ALTERNATORS, FUSES AND TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS WITH NO LUCK. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY IT WILL WORK FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND THEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. THERE HAS TO BE A SHORT SOMEWHERE AND AFTER GOOGLING IT THERE ARE 1000 OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. WE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2017 AND I'M POSITIVE THE OWNER BEFORE ME HAD THE SAME ISSUES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
INTERNAL CIRCUITRY OF PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS CAUSING THE LED'S THAT PROVIDE RUNNING AND STOP FUNCTIONS OF THE LIGHT TO FAIL. THE CAR WAS NOT WRECKED OR DAMAGED IN ANY WAY. APPEARS AS IF METAL FATIGUE FROM BUMPY ROADS PERHAPS CAUSES THE CIRCUITRY TO FAIL AT AT LEAST 2 WEAK POINTS IN THE METAL CIRCUIT. THE PROBLEM WAS POINTED OUT BY A TRAILING POLICEMAN WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, HE KINDLY NOTIFIED ME THAT THE ENTIRE LIGHT WAS OUT.

DEEP CRACKS IN DASHBOARD, INCLUDING PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA, COULD POSE SERIOUS RISK BY AFFECTING THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG. THIS IS APPARENTLY CAUSED BY THE POOR QUALITY PLASTIC MATERIAL USED TO MANUFACTURE THE DASHBOARD. THIS MATERIAL CANNOT WITHSTAND THE SUMMER/HOT CLIMATE.
