SERVICE BRAKES
Brakes will randomly stop working. When the brakes are pressed you have to press all the way down and then vehicle still won’t stop and the only way for the vehicle to come to a complete stop is to press the parking brake. Brakes and rotors have been replaced already and it still happens

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
The right side break light works intermittently. It is out more than on. I was informed that there is a shortage in it and the entire assembly has to be replaced. I see countless GMC Yukons with the same light out. This is a huge safety issue.

POWER TRAIN
Transmission shifting gears sporadically between 49-57 mph and 19-24mph. If I’m driving at 53 mph, I take my foot off the gas and slow down to 50 mph, when I start to slowly accelerate again, it jerks and makes a loud noise as if the transmission has trouble shifting. Took it to the dealer 3 times now. First time they said they can’t find anything wrong. Second time they replaced a valve body that supposedly would fix it. It didn’t. Third time they couldn’t find anything wrong with it. I don’t feel safe driving around my 3 kids all the time.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This is a very common problem with GM vehicles produced from 2015 to 2019 and is occurring in 5.3L and 6.2L gas engines. The engine coolant temperature sensor is failing and defaulting to a fail safe that turns the electric cooling fans on to full speed because it thinks the vehicle is overheating. When this sensor fails, the engine temperature gauge will not work. When the vehicle is turned off the fans will stay on for 15 minutes at full speed and will deplete the battery. The sensors are being replaced multiple times with different manufacturers and the problem returns in a matter of days or weeks. You can disconnect the battery negative post and reconnect and the problem corrects until it is tripped again at later date. GM has no solution for this. This issue will leave a driver stranded and will cause engine or transmission issues if driven while the vehicle is doing this. There is no check engine light or code tripped while this occurs either.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Travelling on an FM road, going 55 when Yukon began accelerating on its own, even when I took foot off the accelerator. tapped brakes, thinking cruise control had engaged. Vehicle swerved violently. Speed kept increasing. Saw I was traveling 75mph! Braked hard! Felt as if acceleration was fighting against the brakes. Then spun out in the middle of the highway, spinning around 1 1/2 times while fully braking. Finally I slowed enough to throw it into park, regardless of what it might do to my transmission, I had to stop the vehicle. I came to rest straddling the lane I had been in and the oncoming lane, facing the direction from which I came. Traffic behind me had seen my struggles in time to stop back far enough that they weren’t endangered and there was no oncoming traffic at that moment. The fuel propulsion system (throttle?) seems to be at fault. There was no warning on the dash about any issue prior to this. The issue was real, a danger to myself and others. A mechanic examined the vehicle and discovered accumulation of debris on top of connector under the hood. He believed just enough water caused the conductivity needed to trigger the acceleration. State that these vehicles allow more intrusion from wheel well area than most. He thoroughly cleaned all connectors and no further issues have happened (yet!) Further research uncovered a report on ‘Sudden Unintended Acceleration’. The link follows: https://www.gmfullsize.com/threads/sudden-unintended-acceleration-gm-full-size-trucks.327479/ I also have a report quoting all the GM document #'s if need be.
