EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BACK PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN FUNCTIONING INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST 15 MONTHS. WE HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY OTHER VEHICLES LETTING US KNOW 'YOUR TAILIGHT IS OUT' BUT WHEN WE GET HOME TO LOOK AT IT, THE LIGHT IS FUNCTIONING JUST FINE. AFTER MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES BEING TOLD THE SAME THING, WE TOOK THE YUKON INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED. THE DEALER LET US KNOW THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS DESIGN, AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL/WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE. HOWEVER - OUR YUKON HAD 76,000 MILES AT THE TIME WE TOOK IT IN, AND THE RECALL ONLY COVERED VEHICLES LESS THAN 72,000 MILES OR 6YEARS FROM DATE OF SERVICE. NOW - I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AND SEEN ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING DUE TO A POOR DESIGN FROM GM. LIMITING THE RECALL TO A CERTAIN MILEAGE IS [XXX] WHEN YOU KNOW THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE FIRST PLACE. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE TAILLIGHT NOT WORKING, BUT GM IS NOW REFUSING TO REPLACE IT? I EXPECT THIS ITEM TO BE COVERED IN FULL, AS I DON'T SPEND $70K ON A VEHICLE ONLY TO HAVE TO REPLACE DEFECTS ON MY OWN DIME. $1000 FOR A REPLACEMENT TAILLIGHT, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WOULD LIKE OUR TAILLIGHT REPLACED AT NO COST DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT - BOTH OF WHICH ARE NO FAULT OF THE USE AND OWNERSHIP OF MY YUKON.

GM IGNITION SWITCH RECALL: GMC REFUSES TO HONOR THE RECALL AND FIX THIS ISSUE ON BOTH MY SUV'S. I CAN'T BE PART OF THE CLASS ACTION UNTIL THESE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE, WHAT A SCAM. I OWN 2 GMC YUKON'S SLT AND BOTH QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL WHICH I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF FROM GMC. NEITHER CAR EVER GOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE AND LOCAL DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO DO THE REPAIRS AT NO COST. THIS IS AFTER I PAID THESE [XXX] OVER $1000 TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON ONE OF MY SUV'S MANY YEARS AGO WHICH DID NOT GET FIXED BECAUSE THEY CLAIM THEY COULDN'T FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH MY SUV'S BUT THEY KNEW ALL ALONG. I WANT GM TO HONOR THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS AND FIX MY SUV'S FAULTY IGNITION SYSTEM. I ONLY FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECAL FROM THE CLASS ACTION ATTORNEYS. GM NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF ANY RECALLS EVER!! PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU. [XXX] PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN DRIVING IT SOMETIMES BEGINS TO HESITATE REDUCE POWER THE TRACTION AND STABILITY AND ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE RPM GAUGE AS WELL STOPS WORKING. IF I PULL OVER ON SIDE OF ROAD AND TURN OFF AND RESTART MOST TIMES THE IGNITION WILL HANG AND KEEP TRYING CRANK THE VEHICLE. IT'S HESITANT TO CRANK WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND SOMETIMES CRANKS AND THEN IMMEDIATELY DIES. IT WILL SHIFT HARD JUST BEFORE POWERING INTO A REDUCED POWER MODE. IF YOU TURN OFF RESTART TURN YOUR WHEEL ALL THE WAY LEFT AND THEN ALL THE WAY RIGHT AND CRANK IT WILL SOMETIMES MAKE THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND YOU THINK RESET BUT AS SOON AS YOU START DRIVING IT HAPPENS AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM A LOT AND I MEAN A LOT ARE HAVING SO NOT SURE WHY THIS ISN'T BEING INVESTIGATED AND RECALLED. MOST SAY NO MATTER WHAT THEY HAVE REPAIRED OR REPLACE THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST SO THERE IS A ROOT THAT'S CREATING THE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE FOUND AND ADDRESSED BY GENERAL MOTORS! FORGOT TO MENTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL AS WELL GETS REALLY HARD! THIS A PROBLEM THAT'S BEEN CONTINUOUS OFF AND ON SINCE I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO PRACTICE MY VEHICLE JERKED US FORWARD IN A VIOLENT MOTION AS IF ANOTHER CAR HIT US AND THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD. AFTERWARDS THE CAR SLOWED TO ABOUT 5-20MILES AN HOUR AND WOULD NOT DRIVE ANY FASTER. I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST INTERSECTION AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND TURNED ON AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I HAVE ALREADY BEEN TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THEM BECAUSE MY VEHICLE MILEAGE IS OUTSIDE OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THE 2016 GMC YUKON'S AND I DO NOT THINK IT IS FAIR THAT I HAVE TO COVER THE REPAIR.

THE FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS ON MY 2018 YUKON DENALI ARE LEAKING. THE CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD WITH APPROXIMATELY 67K MILES. GMC HAS THE ABSORBERS ON BACK ORDER AS THEY ARE APPARENTLY BEING REPLACED FREQUENTLY. I THINK THE SHOCK ABSORBERS HAVE DESIGN FAULTS THAT ASSURE THEY WILL NEED REPLACING WELL BEFORE THE NORMAL LIFE OF THE PRODUCT AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A BETTER PRODUCT. I CONTACTED GMC CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY OFFERED TO REPLACE THEM FOR $1,450 PLUS TAX WHICH IS NOT AN ADEQUATE SOLUTION - THEY SHOULD REPLACE THEM FOR FREE.

FRONT MAGNETIC SHOCKS QUICKLY FAILED, PART NO. SK3354. PART HAS BEEN ON BACKORDER FOR OVER A MONTH, WHICH MEANS IT IS FAILING ON MANY VEHICLES. PART IS KNOWN BY REPAIR SHOPS TO BE DEFECTIVE, BUT THEY SAY THE REPLACEMENT PART LASTS LONGER. GM SHOULD PAY SOMETHING TOWARD REPLACING THIS DEFECTIVE PART, WHICH IS ON MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES. FAILURE OF THIS PART CAUSES VEHICLE TO BOUNCE EXCESSIVELY WHICH MAKES THE VEHICLE MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR FROM PARK. WHEN IT'S IN GEAR (YOU CAN HOLD THE BUTTON TO SELECT A GEAR TO MOVE), BUT AS SOON AS YOU RELEASE THE BUTTON - IT GOES RIGHT BACK INTO PARK. IT COMES AND GOES. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN MY DRIVEWAY. STUCK AT THE GROCERY STORE. HAD IT ONCE SURPRISE ME AT A STOPLIGHT AND WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED - THAT TIME I NEEDED TO HOLD THE BUTTON TO ESCAPE TO THE NEAREST PARKING LOT. DEALER, OF COURSE, WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AS THEY SAID THE ISSUE DOES NOT THROW A CODE. I HAVE VIDEO AND PICTURES, WHICH I HAVE SUPPLIED. SOMETIMES THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON TOO. DEALERSHIP DID SAY THERE WERE SOME SERVICE NOTES IN THE SYSTEM REGARDING A SIMILAR PROBLEM, BUT THAT GM HAS YET TO ISSUE A TSB. I'M HONESTLY WORRIED THIS WILL CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND I DON'T TRUST HAVING MY FAMILY IN THE CAR. IT'S AN $86,000 SUV. UNREAL AND SO DISAPPOINTING.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND EXITING THE HW. THE REAR WHEEL OF THE DRIVER SIDE BROKE OFF AND SEPARATED FROM THE CAR WHICH CAUSED MY CAR TO HIT THE CEMENT BEERIER ON FRONT AND THE SIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THEN THE CAR TURNED 180 DEGREES AND HIT THE BEERIER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND WE DISCOVERED THAT THE WHEEL BROOK OFF OF THE REAR AXE. NO DAMAGE TO THE WHEEL. SEVERAL INDUSTRY EXPORTS STATED THAT THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN.
