ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2015 GMC YUKON XL HAVE A CONDITION THAT ALLOW WATER TO LEAK INTO THE VEHICLE'S ROOF-MOUNTED ANTENNA. THIS CONDITION PREVENTS THE VEHICLE'S ONSTAR SYSTEM FROM ACCURATELY DETERMINING THE VEHICLE'S LOCATION; DISABLE THE VEHICLE'S COMPASS, NAVIGATION, AND XM RADIO SYSTEMS; ILLUMINATE THE VEHICLE'S RED ONSTAR LED INDICATOR. GMC CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM ' LOSS OF GPS, ONSTAR AND XM ANTENNA FUNCTIONS ' 2015 CADILLAC CHEVROLET GMC 15155 EXPIRED AUGUST 2017 BUT DOES NOT ADDRESS A SOLUTION FOR THE VEHICLES THAT MISSED THE DEADLINE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER SIDE LEFT BRAKE LIGHT LED POOR QUALITY, FAILED. TURN SIGNAL WORKS, BRAKE LIGHT DOESN'T. LEDS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST LONGER THAN INCANDESCENT BULBS (AND AT THE EXPENSIVE PRICE OF $500+ TO FIX THIS EACH TIME IT GOES OUT PEOPLE WILL BE LESS APT TO FIX), BUT THIS IS APPARENTLY A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM FROM LOOKING INTO IT. THERE WAS NO CATALYST THAT SET THE PROBLEM OFF, JUST FAILED ON ITS OWN.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH AND MY BRAKES FAILED WHEN I TRIED TO STOP BEFORE PULLING OUT ONTO A CROSS STREET. PEDAL LOCKED, AND VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL. AFTER STEPPING ON THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES THEY ENGAGED AGAIN. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I WAS LEAVING A PARKING LOT, ONLY THIS TIME THE BRAKES WOULD NOT ENGAGE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. I COASTED INTO A POTTED DECORATIVE TREE THAT STOPPED ME, SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AND THEY BEGAN WORKING AGAIN. NO WARNING SIGNALS APPEARED ON DASH, AND BRAKES AND BRAKE FLUID HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND ALL ARE SATISFACTORY.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY STOP WITHOUT ANY WARNING WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE FROM ZERO UP TO ABOUT 10 MPH. ALL ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHTS WILL FLASH INCLUDING AUDIBLE WARNINGS OF MALFUNCTION. I MUST COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, THEN PROCEED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. A REAR END COLLISION IS INEVITABLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY GMC YUKON BLEW OUT. THE LINE HAD RUSTED THOROUGH. THIS OCCURRED IN 2012. SINCE THEN AS A GM TECHNICIAN I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF CUSTOMERS, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS WITH GM TRUCKS HAVE THEIR BRAKE LINES BLOW OUT FROM RUST. GM HAS A REAL ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE BRAKES LINES ON THEIR TRUCK MODELS TEND TO RUST OUT. GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL BUT OFFERED A NEW BRAKE LINE KIT. MY QUESTION TO YOU IS WHY? I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS ISSUE ON THE SAME MODEL YEAR GM CARS. AS FAR AS I KNOW NO ONE HAS DIED AS A RESULT BUT THERE HAS TO HAVE BEEN INJURIES. IS IT NOT YOUR JOB TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE? ONCE AGAIN WHY?

THE CAR SEAT WARMER IN THE BACK OF THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE OUR SEVEN YEAR OLD WAS ASLEEP IN THE CAR. HE WAS IN HIS BOOSTER SEAT. THE SEAT WARMER WAS NOT ON. (THIS WAS IN AUGUST 2018.) WE SMELLED A BURNING SMELL AND THERE WAS A SMOLDERING FLAME UNDER HIS LEGS. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY, NOT IN MOTION. IT WAS IDLING IN A PARKING LOT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR LEFT LIGHT DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACE AT A COST OF $800. THE YUKON IS PASSED THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY BY A FEW MONTHS BUT BELOW THE 36000 MILES. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY EITHER. GO FIGURE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE REAR LED LIGHTS ON THIS GMC SUV ACCORDING TO NUMEROUS WEB SITES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
JUST GOT THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO. BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM TO WORK WHEN THE WANT TO. HAVE READ OTHERS REVIEWS AND SEEMS EVERYONE WITH THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TOO,. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND ON HAD IT CHECKED ONCE WHILE ON AND WAS TOLD IT'S AN O2 SENSOR. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON REMOTE START WON'T WORK. SEEMS THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE IS PURPOSEFUL SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT COSTS SO DANG MUCH TO FIX IT! FOR SUCH A NICE VEHICLE AND EXPENSIVE PAYMENT YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE NO ISSUES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PUT IN ANOTHER COMPLAINT AND FORGOT TO ADD MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS!!!! I HAVE NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND REMOTE START THOUGH I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THEM ALL WORKING ONLY WHEN THEY WANT TO IT SEEMS WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE ALL OF THESE THINGS GO HAY WIRE AND WHEN IT'S FREEZING COLD (COLORADO WINTER) EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. TODAY HIGH OF 40 EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE... HIGHS IN THE 80+ EVERYTHING SEEMS TO NOT WORK. SO IT'S BASICALLY BOILING DOWN TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN IT'S HOT AND NO ISSUES WHEN IT'S FREEZING COLD. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH HEAT AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES.(CARGURUS.COM) PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS!!!!!!!! I ONLY HOPE OTHERS HAVE MADE THESE COMPLAINTS SO GM CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! 800$ FOR A BRAKE LIGHT GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!! AND THAT'S JUST THE PRICE TO FIX THE BRAKE LIGHT WHEN IT DECIDES NOT TO WORK AND I'M NOT PAYING THAT MUCH TO FIX ONE ISSUE WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HEAT!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PURCHASED MY 2015 GMC YUKON IN JUNE 2017. WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS FINE. AROUND MAY OR JUNE OF 2018 THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WAS FILLED WITH CONDENSATION AND I WAS QUOTED $1462 FOR LABOR AND PARTS. MIND YOU THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50K MILES ON IT. I SENT A COMPLAINT TO THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND ENDED UP PAYING $860 DOLLARS TO HAVE IT FIXED. HERE IT IS NOW OCTOBER AND NOW BOTH THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. I JUST TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A RECENT RECALL FOR A STEERING ISSUE. I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES RELATED TO THE LIGHTS. SO I WILL NOW HAVE TO PAY GET THE TAILLIGHTS FIXED. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER ISSUES NOT TESTED AND I AM CURRENTLY FLU AT THE POINT OF READING THIS VEHICLE IN.

STEERING
WAS DRIVING ABOUT 7-10 MPH IN A WAL MART PARKING LOT WHEN THE STEERING ON MY 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI COMPLETELY GAVE OUT WHICH CAUSED ME TO SCRAP A POLE ON THE BACK DOOR BEHIND DRIVER. FINALLY WHEN VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD FREELY SPIN AND NOT IN GAUGE THE TIRES TO ROTATE. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST GMC DEAR SHIP TO HAVE THEM ASSES THE PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM THIS HAS TO BE FROM THE ROOT CAUSE OF A RECALL THAT A SENSOR WILL LOSE TEMP CONNECTION WITH STEERING AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. WHICH DID AS WELL AS INJURY TO MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING. NOW THE VEHICLE IS AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP GIVING ME A RUN A ROUND THAT THE STEERING COLUMN MAGICALLY SNAPPED AND NEEDS TO BE COVERED THROUGH EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE AN OPEN COMPLAINT WITH THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS GMC IT SELF. PLEASE IF YOU OWN THIS YEAR VEHICLE BE VERY CAREFUL THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A REALLY HORRIBLE SITUATION.
