REAR TAIL LIGHTS INOPERABLE AND BRAKE LIGHTS NOT OPERATING. WHEN I ASKED DEALER ABOUT PROBLEM THEY SAID GM HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES SINCE THEY NEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THEM EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE ANY REAR LIGHTS WORKING WHICH IS EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING DOWN AN INTERSTATE ON A CLEAR SUNNY DAY 70 DEGREES. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES NEARBY OR AN OVERPASS. IT WAS ME, MY HUSBAND AND OUR DOG IN THE VEHICLE. OUT OF NOWHERE WE HEARD A LARGE BANG AND I NOTICED THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. IT TOOK ALL MY HUSBAND ALL HE COULD TO FROM WRECKING. THANKFULLY I THOUGHT TO CLOSE THE SUNROOF SHADE SO MORE GLASS WOULDN'T LAND IN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE SHARDS 9F GLASS EVERYWHERE. WE PURCHASE OUR 2021 YUKON 3 MONTHS AGO. SO WE WERE IN A NEW VEHICLE WITH APPROXIMATELY 5K MILES. VERY SCARY AND I WAS STILL SHAKING ONCE WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE INTERSTATE. THE SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR PANORAMIC SUNROOF NEED TO BE UPDATED! I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS AN ISSUE.

STEERING
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND UPON TURNING IT ON A MESSAGE SHOWED UP ON THE DISPLAY STATING TO IMMEDIATELY TAKE THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE AND TO DRIVE CAREFULLY BECAUSE OF A POWER STEERING ISSUE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN REVERSE TO BEGIN TO LEAVE THE PARKING SPOT, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THERE WAS NO STEERING AVAILABLE ON THE VEHICLE. IT WOULD ONLY MOVE FORWARD AND BACKWARDS BUT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD NOT MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION AT ANY DEGREE MAKING THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE SAFELY OR CAREFULLY TO ANY LOCATION. ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICE WOULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AND ULTIMATELY WAS IMPOSSIBLE SO WE DECIDED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED US THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM/SOFTWARE AND THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MANY MORE HISTORY CODES FOR THIS ISSUE. AFTER INFORMING US THAT THE UPDATE FOR THE STEERING SYSTEM WAS COMPLETED, THEY ALSO SAID IT MAY NOT BE THE FIX BASED ON THE MULTIPLE HISTORY CODES. THE CAR IS STILL BEING INSPECTED AS THEY ARE UNABLE TO BE SURE THE CAUSE OR THAT IT WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN. RECORDS OF SERVICE CAN BE PROVIDED ONCE THE VEHICLE IS RETURNED TO US AND MESSAGES OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN ALSO BE PROVIDED UPON REQUEST.

SERVICE BRAKES
REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPOT AND BRAKE PEDALS WERE AS HARD AS A ROCK. I HAD TO PUSH EXTRA HARD ON THE PEDALS TO STOP THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES ON IT. BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES IN TO DASH NOTIFICATION FOR A SECOND THEN GOES AWAY AND BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 DAYS SINCE WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE
THE L94 ENGINE P/N 19418446 WITH THE VARIABLE LIFTERS HAVE A PROBLEM OF FAILING AND CAUSING THEM TO STICK AND DAMAGE THE CAM SHAFT. THIS CAUSES A LOUD TICKING IN THE ENGINE AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO EITHER BE REBUILT OR REPLACED AT A COST OF 5 TO 8 THOUSAND DOLLARS WITH NO CONSIDERATION FROM GM. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING A LOT FROM TALKING TO DEALERS AND OTHER MECHANICS. THIS IS A KNOW DEFECT BY GM AS THEY NO LONGER MAKE THIS TYPE OF ENGINE WITH THE VARIABALE LIFTERS. IF THIS IS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OR BE RESPONSIBLE FOR COVERING PART OF THE COST TO REPLACE / REBUILD THE ENGINE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
PURCHASED A 2015 YUKON DENALI BACK IN NOVEMBER 2019. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY, TRANSMISSION, AC COMPRESSOR AND EXPANSION VALVE (WHICH STILL ISN'T WORKING CORRECTLY, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T BLOW COLD AIR), AND THE BLACK PANELS THAT ARE IN BETWEEN THE WINDOWS. ALSO, BOTH TAIL LIGHTS HAVE DECIDED TO QUIT WORKING.... WHICH CONCERNS ME GREATLY BECAUSE CARS BEHIND ME DON'T KNOW WHEN I AM STOPPED OR APPLYING THE BREAKS. STOPPED OR HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BREAK.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE LIGHT GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY AT RANDOM. I PURCHASED CAR USED IN FEBRUARY 2020 AND WAS INFORMED SOON AFTER BY FRIEND THAT MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT WHEN LEAVING THEIR HOME. IT WAS WORKING THE NEXT DAY WHEN I CHECKED. I NOW WATCH IT AND SEE THAT IT WORKS ONLY SOMETIMES. COST TO REPLACE IS APPROXIMATELY $700 ASSUMING ONLY A REPLACEMENT LIGHT IS NEEDED AND NOTHING ELSE IS WRONG. BASED ON THE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN THIS SOUNDS LIKE A WIRING ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER RECALL FOR SAFETY REASONS.

ABOUT 38 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING MY 2009 YUKON MY DASH CRACKER FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE DRIVER SIDE. I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND REPORTED THE ISSUES AND GMC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS A COST THAT I HAD TO ABSORB. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED MY AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING MORE THAN 60 MINUTES.
