EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PEOPLE KEPT TELLING ME ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT BUT EVERY TIME I'D GET HOME MY TAIL LIGHT WAS ON! THIS KEPT GOING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS UNTIL THIS TIME I CHECKED AND IT WAS OFF. I WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND MENTIONED THE ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS BACK ON. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE SAME CYCLE STARTED. MY FRIEND NOTICED THAT WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP IT WOULD FLICK BACK ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT INFORMED ME IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE VEHICLES AND THE COST TO REPLACE WAS ABOUT $1,000. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE AND NOT FIX. I DECIDED TO LOOK UP AN ALTERNATIVE AND FOUND OUT MANY OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH YUKONS RANGING 2-3 YEARS AS MY VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING IT REPAIRED FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO IT'S BACK TO NOT WORKING AGAIN! FRUSTRATING PART IS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY OTHERS... ON YOUTUBE ALONE THERE ARE SO MANY VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR ON OWN BECAUSE IT'S VERY COSTLY. RECENTLY, I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEIR LIGHT WAS OUT AS WELL. I GUESS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE IT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES FOR ABOUT A YEAR WITH THE LIGHTS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. AS OF TODAY, JUNE 12 2019, THEY ARE OUT COMPLETELY!!!! AFTER GOING TO A LOCAL MECHANIC HE SAID THE WHOLE CIRCUIT WAS GONE & WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED!!! I AM IN BETWEEN JOBS AND DO NOT HAVE 2000.00 DOLLARS TO FIX SAID PROBLEM. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL MESSAGE BOARDS WHO HAVE ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO HELP WHAT SO EVER FROM GMC!!!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHEN YOU MAY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR A SUV YOU EXPECT IT TO LAST LONGER THAN 88,000!!! THIS ISN'T THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WITH THIS SUV. SO THIS NEEDS TO BECOME A RECALL ISSUE AND GMC OR THE PART SUPPLIER NEEDS TO FIX THIS.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IF YOU TAP HARD ON IT THEY SOMETIMES COME BACK ON BUT DON'T STAY ON. I TOOK TO GMC DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THEY'VE HAD A DOZEN YUKON'S IN RECENTLY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DEALER INDICATED ISSUE IS FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD THAT OVERHEATS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO SHORT OUT. I'M OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER LIGHTS. DEALER CHARGES $800 PER LIGHT (PART ONLY).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING A CRACK AT THE EDGE OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY QUOTED A REPAIR PRICE OF 1800. THEY ADMITTED THAT A CRACKED DASH HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN GMC YUKONS. THE CRACKS BEGAN IN 2013 AND I HAD JUST OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 2 YEARS. I TAKE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD CARE OF IT AND THE REST OF THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE CRACK IS CONCERNING AROUND THE AIR BAG BECAUSE IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED DURING AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY OF SHARP DEBRIS CAUSING INJURY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AT LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND 60K MILES, THE FOLLOWING HAS OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT TIMES UP UNTIL NOW: OVERALL ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION INCLUDING DISPLAY ILLUMINATION FAILURE (DISPLAY GOES COMPLETELY BLACK AND/OR DIM WHILE DRIVING - CANNOT SEE SPEEDOMETER ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON BOTH THE HIGHWAY AND SURFACE STREETS, INCLUDING DAYTIME AND NIGHTTIME), AUDIO/ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM GLITCHES (RADIO VOLUME CHANGES TO AND GETS STUCK RANDOMLY ON HIGHEST VOLUME SETTING (WAS NEVER EVEN SET TO THIS LEVEL) WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING SUDDEN DISTRACTION/DISRUPTION), TAIL LIGHT MALFUNCTION (INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES), AND NOW THE MOTOR TO THE SUNROOF HAS DIED (OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND AT A MOMENT WHEN IT WAS NECESSARY TO CLOSE FOR SAFETY ON THE HIGHWAY.) THE TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTIVE (FOR THE SECOND TIME - OFF SHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE DRIVING AT BOTH LOWER AND HIGHER SPEEDS. HAS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY REQUIRING ME TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE.) THESE INCIDENTS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN INTERMITTENT IT HAS BEEN HARD TO PINPOINT WHEN TO BRING IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT A FEW MONTHS AGO. TURN SIGNAL WORKS. NOW MY DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. TURN SIGNAL DOES WORK. TO GET BOTH FIXED, I HAVE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE UNIT REPLACED WHICH IS QUITE EXPENSIVE. I ALREADY REPLACED THE FRONT PASSENGER UNIT DUE TO THE RUNNING LIGHT GOING OUT 2 YEARS AGO. BRAKE LIGHTS, ARE NECESSARY FOR SAFETY WHICH IS A PROBLEM. THESE LED LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A LONGER FUNCTIONALITY. AND THEY CANNOT BE REPLACED EASILY OR COST-EFFECTIVELY.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ONE WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I BROKE DOWN DUE TO AN OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT I BROKE DOWN (STALLED OUT IN THE ROAD) DUE TO 2 LIFTERS COLLAPSING AND THE CAMSHAFT BEING DAMAGED. AFTER REPLACING ALL LIFTERS, THE CAMSHAFT, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, AS WELL AS ANOTHER OIL PRESSURE SENSOR JUST IN CASE THE OTHER ONE WAS BAD I STILL HAVE LOW OIL PRESSURE. THIS COST $3,000.00! I LEFT THE SHOP AND BROKE DOWN ON MY WAY HOME WITH A FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT AND THE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND MESSAGE FLASHING. IT SHOOK SO HARD I THOUGHT IT WOULD EXPLODE IN THE ROAD AND THEN STALLED OUT! IT WAS TOWED BACK TO THE SHOP WHERE IT CONTINUES TO SIT. ITS BEEN THERE 3 WEEKS. ITS BEEN AT THE SHOP LONGER THAN I'VE GOTTEN TO DRIVE IT. AFTER GOOGLING WHAT MIGHT BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM IT APPEARS THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON AND GMC/CHEVROLET IS WELL AWARE OF THE FAULTY ENGINE. THOUSANDS OF POSTS ARE ON DIFFERENT SITES COMPLAINING HOW EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE PUT THEIR VEHICLE IN THE SHOP AND HAD THE REPAIRS DONE, THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE THAT CAUSING THE ISSUES AGAIN! THE MANUFACTURER IS WELL AWARE THEY ARE PUTTING LIVES AT RISK REPEATEDLY AND CAUSING FINANCIAL HARDSHIPS FOR THE CONSUMER BUT IT IS OBVIOUS THEY ARE CONCERNED ONLY ABOUT THEIR BOTTOM LINE AND NOT LIVES.
