SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED REPLACING BOTH TAIL LIGHT HOUSING ASSEMBLIES AT A SIGNIFICANT COST OF $750 EACH. DEALER HAS ALSO STATED THIS IS A "COMMON PROBLEM" OF THE 2015 GMC VEHICLES WITH AN LED BRAKE LIGHT DESIGN; NO EASY OR AFFORDABLE SOLUTION OUT THERE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
COMPONENT AFFECTED: STABILITRAC MODULE CAUSE: A POWER SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN CAUSED THE STABILITRAC (STABILITY CONTROL) MODULE TO MALFUNCTION. UNSAFE CONDITION: THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN A FULL 180 DEGREES ON ITS OWN AT IDLE/LOW SPEED. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE CAR WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" LIGHT WOULD ACTIVATE ON THE DASH AND MESSAGE DISPLAYED "STABILITRAC DISABLED". REMEDY: THE STEERING WHEEL WIRING HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND THE STABILITRAC MODULE WAS REPLACED BY MY GMC DEALERSHIP IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, THE ISSUE HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON 2015 AND NEWER GMC YUKON, YUKON XL, DENALI, DENALI XL VEHICLES FAIL DUE TO POOR QUALITY CIRCUIT METAL/DESIGN OF BOARD ALLOWING TOO NARROW A CONNECTION FOR METAL USED. THE RESULT IS A CRACK IN THE CIRCUITS METAL WHICH, DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS, BREAKS THE CIRCUIT AND THE TAIL LIGHTS FAIL TO WORK. SPECIFICALLY BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL FIRST PUTTING THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IN AN SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION WITH NO INDICATION THAT THE FAILURE HAS HAPPENED. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS BEHIND A GM VEHICLE EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM ARE AT SERIOUS RISK AS THEY MAY NOT REALIZE THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP. GMC IS REFUSING TO COVER THE ISSUE AND REQUIRES $800 PER LIGHT AND OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE NEW LIGHT CAN DO THE SAME THING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I DON'T NORMALLY GO SO FAR WITH AN ISSUE, BUT THIS SEEMS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AND WARRANTS A RECALL. WITH THE LACK OF INDICATION OTHER THAN COURTEOUS DRIVERS TELLING YOU THE LIGHTS ARE OUT OR POLICE PULLING YOU OVER TO TELL YOU, THE ISSUES OFTEN START WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD BUT NO WAY TO KNOW. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TAIL LIGHT FAILURES WITH NEW VEHICLES INDICATE THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO AGE. AS WITH MY LIGHTS, NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE LIGHT AT ALL ELIMINATES SOME KIND OF IMPACT OUTSIDE OF NORMAL ROAD BUMPS. HOPEFULLY ACTION CAN BE TAKEN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT, CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. THREE WEEKS LATER PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OUT. DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY FOR THREE HOURS AS PEOPLE HONKED AND ROLLED THEIR WINDOWS DOWN TO LET US KNOW WE DIDN'T HAVE BRAKE LIGHTS. TOOK TO GET FIXED AND THE LIGHTBULBS, WHICH ARE LED AND SHOULD HAVE LASTED LONGER THAN TWO YEARS, ARE NOT REPLACEABLE, THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE PURCHASED AT $700 A PIECE. WHEN PEOPLE ARE UNABLE TO AFFORD $1400 BEFORE LABOR THEY WILL DRIVE WITHOUT BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD AND A RIDICULOUS MANUFACTURING FLAW TO HAVE LIGHT BULBS THAT ARE NOT REPLACEABLE. GMC SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT MY 2010 YUKON DENALI USED FROM A LOCAL USED CAR DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE DASH LOOKED TO BE FINE. EARLY IN THE SUMMER I BEGAN TO HAVE CRACKING RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND QUICKLY SOON AFTER NOTICED A LOT OF CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAGS. THIS MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS IF I WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT; WHAT WOULD HAPPEN WITH THE DASH PIECES? THEY WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET IT BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL OF THE GMC FAMILY OF SUVS FOR ABOUT A 5 YEAR PERIOD. GM HAS EVEN CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THE REPLACEMENTS DUE TO THE CHEAP WORKMANSHIP OF THE ORIGINAL PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED AS A SAFETY HAZARD.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 2.5 YEARS. I AM HIGHLY UPSET THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION, HOWEVER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE LED STRIP IN THE HEAD LIGHT IS OUT. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ALMOST $2000 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WHICH THEY WILL NOT COVER. I ALSO HAVE THE BACK PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT OUT AND I AM TOLD THAT THE WHOLE PANEL NEEDS REPLACING. A TOTAL FOR THE LED STRIP AND BACK PANEL WILL COST CLOSE TO $1900. WHY IN THE WORLD IS IT THAT AND LED LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO LAST 5X LONGER THAN A REGULAR LIGHT, BUT IT JUST GOES OUT? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. IF THE VEHICLE WAS 10 YEARS OLD, THAT IS ONE THING, BUT IT BEING STILL ON THE NEW END, MAKES NO SENSE. ALSO, HOW DOES THE WHOLE BACK LIGHT PANEL JUST GO OUT? AND WHY DO DEALERSHIPS ACT LIKE " OH WELL, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO!" GMC MUST BE LOWERING THEIR STANDARDS. HAD I KNOWN THIS VEHICLE WOULD HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP, THEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE SPEND THE LAST 30 MINUTES READING A FORUM OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHERS HAVING HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL: OVER TWO (2) YEARS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. GM RECALL 49151 AND STILL NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN . I'VE CHECKED WITH THE DEALER (RELIABLE GMC IN ROSEVILLE, CA ) AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THSE 2 YEARS AND ALWAYS GET THE SAME STORY: SORRY , "WE DON'T HAVE ANY PARTS FOR ANY OF THEM YET." THEY SAY TO FILE A COMPLAINT, SO NOW I AM HERE. EVERYONE HAD BETTER PRAY THAT NO INJURIES OR DEATHS OCCUR AS A RESULT OF AIRBAG (S) FAILURE OR EXPLOSIONS DURING THIS INDEFENSIBLE DELAY IN REPAIRING THE PROBLEM. BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LAWSUIT PAYOUTS WOULD RESULT.
