MY YUKON'S DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, SOME EXTENDING 14 INCHES INTERFERING WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. THE SECOND LARGE CRACK IS LOCATED ABOVE AND BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. NOTHING WAS DROPPED OR ANYWAY I OR MY FAMILY CRACKED IT. AFTER RESEARCHING, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY MAKE MODEL AND YEAR. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD OWN THIS DEFECT AND PROTECT ITS LOYAL DRIVERS AND CONSUMERS, RATHER THAN WAIT AND SEE IF AN AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY PROPERLY, GOD FORBID, RISKING THE LIVES OF INNOCENTS. I SERVED MY COUNTRY IN IRAQ BECAUSE I CHOSE TO, GM CAN CHOOSE TO DEFEND ITS CONSUMERS AS WELL. EVEN A DISCOUNT ON REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WOULD BE APPRECIATED AS I KNOW PEOPLE JUST EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE GIVEN TO THEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKES DON'T WORK WELL WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. STOPPING REQUIRES BRAKES TO BE PRESSED TO THE GROUND AND STILL MAY NOT STOP. I HAVE ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS EVEN AFTER HAVING THE ISSUE 'REPAIRED' LAST YEAR. I'VE HAD THE PROBLEM ASSESSED AT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I HAVE HAD TO THROW MY CAR INTO PARK TO AVOID HITTING CARS IN FRONT OF ME. BRAKES FAIL WHILE DRIVING IN PLACES SUCH AS TRAFFIC JAMS, DRIVE THRU, SCHOOL PICK UP, ETC. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND FEAR THAT MY CHILDREN MAY BE HURT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. STEERING BECOMES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE BRAKE ISSUES OCCUR. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 1.5- 2 YEARS. ALSO, THE TAIL LIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OUT EVEN AFTER PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPLACEMENTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAIL LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK. DEALER CLAIMS FULL TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY REQUIRED TO FIX (AT ~$850) AND NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF SIMILAR PROBLEM. SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS POST FIXES TO SOLUTION BY MELTING PLASTIC HOUSING AND CONNECTING METAL PIECES ON CIRCUIT BOARD ASSEMBLY THAT BREAK (THIS IS JUST A THIN METAL PLATE THAT WAS POORLY DESIGNED AND CRACKS AT A SIMILAR POINT FREQUENTLY. I THINK THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN THAT EXPOSES MANY CUSTOMER ERA TO GREAT RISK AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY GMC. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT. CAR IS IN MOTION, STATIONARY OR TURNING WHEN HAPPENS. BRAKE LIGHTS ARE LIGHT THAT IS IMPACTED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER FAILED TO PROVIDE THE PART WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE INTERIM RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN 2016. MASTER BUICK GMC (3710 WASHINGTON RD, AUGUSTA, GA 30907, (706) 955-2237) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REPLACED PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT DUE TO LED FAILURE IN 2017. DRIVER'S SIDE FAILED THIS WEEK. FULL REPLACEMENT OF HOUSING IS REQUIRED, AND NOTHING THAT I CAN FIND STATES ANY DESIGN IMPROVEMENTS HAVE BEEN MADE TO DATE. THIS MEANS FURTHER REPLACEMENTS OF THE ENTIRE LIGHT (PART ALONE IS QUOTED AT AROUND $700) WILL BE NECESSARY THROUGHOUT THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IT APPEARS FROM A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH THAT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES EFFECTED, YET THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NOT A DESIGN ISSUE AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. GIVEN THIS FAILURE MAKES THE TAIL LIGHT INOPERABLE AS WELL AS THE BRAKE LIGHTS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT FAILED WITH 57K MILES. THE RIGHT ONE THEN FAILED AT 61K MILES. THE DEALER WANTED $735 EACH TO FIX THEM, AS THEY CLAIM THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE LED HOUSING. THE DEALER IS WELL-AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, AND IT WOULD APPEAR BASED ON GOOGLING THE ISSUE THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS FAILURE FROM GM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT STARTED 'GOING OUT' RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED-MEANING, IT WOULD WORK OFF AND ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE TAILLIGHT HAS STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE GMC TAILLIGHTS AND YET GMC HAS YET TO RECOGNIZE ANY ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE DRIVING THESE MODELS WITH FAILING TAILLIGHTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PART OF THE CIRCUIT BOARD IN THE TAIL LIGHTS WAS VERY POORLY DESIGNED. IT IS A SEALED ASSEMBLY WITHOUT SERVICEABLE PARTS. A VERY THIN STRIP OF METAL, ONE AT THE TOP, AND ONE AT THE BOTTOM BREAK DUE TO THERMAL EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION. IT GIVES NO WARNING NO LIGHTS NOTHING JUST ALL THE SUDDEN NO TAIL OR BRAKE LIGHT. IT'S NOT RIGHT IT ISN'T SERVICEABLE, AND THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES $400 PLUS FOR A NEW ONE. WHAT HAPPENS IF BOTH FAIL AT THE SAME TIME. G.M. NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE, AND DO THE RIGHT THING. AFTER ALL THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE "PROFESSIONAL GRADE".

MY REAR TAIL LIGHTS (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) KEEP FLICKERING AND GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. THEY ARE LED LIGHTS, NOT BULBS; THEREFORE, THEY CANT SIMPLY BE REPLACED WITHOUT INCURRING A COST OF $800+ PER LIGHT. THE DEALER CLAIMS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THE LIGHTS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING ON 2015 YUKON W 65K MILES AND NO ACCIDENTS. DEALER SAID IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND PART IS $800 TO REPAIR DUE TO LED ASSEMBLY. GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFERED A $100 VOUCHER TO GO TOWARDS NEW PART (IF I TOOK MY CAR IN AND PAID FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST) WHICH IS A JOKE. AS OF TODAY THERE ARE 278 COMPLAINTS REGARDING 2015 YUKONS AND 60% OF THOSE ARE REGARDING EXTERIOR LIGHTING. HOWEVER GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE WOULD NOT ADMIT FAULTY TAIL LIGHTS WERE A "KNOWN ISSUE." WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL?! AND WHY ARE CONSUMERS STILL BE CHARGED $800 FOR FAULTY TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES? GMC IS PROFITING OFF OF KNOWN WIDE-SPREAD ISSUES AND NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THE BRAKE LIGHT IS ON BACKORDER DUE TO THE SHEER NUMBER OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE. MY CAR HAS HAD SHOCKS REPLACED AT 15K MILES, ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH INTERIOR LIGHTS, AC PROBLEMS, AND NOW THIS ALL BEFORE 70K. COME ON GMC....STEP IT UP OR ELSE I'LL BE TRADING MY POS YUKON IN FOR A CHEVY.

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 3/29/19 AND SEVERAL TIMES NOW MY YUKON'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION BUCKS, JUMPS OR JERKS HARD, NOT SURE WHAT TO CALL IT BUT IT BUCKED OR SHOVED MY CAR FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP (NOT PRESSING GAS PEDAL). THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS AS IT INTERFERES WITH TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS SUCH A HARD JOLT THAT IT FOR A MINUTE I THOUGHT ANOTHER CAR REAR ENDED ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST TWICE AFTER I PRESSED THE BRAKE TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN AS I WAS PREPARING TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT, I WAS PROBABLY GOING AROUND 20MPH. IT ALSO HAPPENED TWICE WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A ROAD, PROBABLY GOING 35 MPH AND JUST FELT A JOLT LIKE SOMETHING KICKED MY CAR FORWARD SUDDENLY. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE JERKING PROBLEM IS RELATED TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, POSSIBLY THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND CAUSES GEARS NOT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. I'M GOING TO PUT IN MY MOST RECENT DATE THAT THIS HAPPENED ON YOUR FORM BUT IT'S HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE.
