EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM...I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING, GMC WANTS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY FOR $800. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED BUT I THINK GMC SHOULD HAVE AWAY TO REPAIR THE LIGHT INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. A RECALL ON THIS SHADY WAY OF GETTING THE CONSUMER HARD EARNED MONEY. BECAUSE IT SHOULD LAST LONGER. I CAN?T DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR OF GETTING A TICKET. PLEASE HELP

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT AND THE SMALL LED CANNOT BE INDIVIDUALLY REPLACED BY THE DEALER. GMC ONLY SELLS THE ENTIRE UNIT FOR OVER $850.00. THIS IS A KNOWN WARRANTY ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

STEERING
I'VE EXPERIENCED 2 POWER STEERING FAILURES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. FIRST, THE EPS FAILED (WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR MANY OF THE SAME MODEL--BUT NOT MINE) WHICH I REPLACED. NOW, POWER STEERING FAILED AGAIN, THIS TIME THE STEERING GEAR PER THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD! WITH THE MOST RECENT FAILURE, IF YOUR HANDS ARE NOT GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY, THE CAR WILL VEER SHARPLY TO EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT. AND STEERING THIS BEAST WITH NO POWER STEERING IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. MANY DRIVERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO OVERPOWER THE DEAD ELECTRIC STEERING SYSTEM. THE FIRST WARNING CAME AS LOUD SCREECHING SOUNDS FROM THE STEERING AT LOW SPEED. IT FELT AS THOUGH THE POWER STEERING MOTOR WAS INTERMITTENT, AND "JOLTING" THE STEERING WHEEL. THE SCREECHING STOPPED AT SPEED, BUT THE JITTERING/JOLTING OF THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM CONTINUED. THIS IS A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION, ESPECIALLY WITH SO FEW MILES ON THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. EXTENDED CRANK AFTER (OVERNIGHT) ENGINE OFF PARK. FUEL PUDDLE NOTICED UNDER PARKED VEHICLE ON GARAGE FLOOR AND DRIVEWAY AFTER OVERNIGHT PARKING. SMELL AND FUEL LEAK SEEMED WORSE WITH A FULL TANK. ALSO NOTICED MORE FREQUENT AUTO SHUT OFF AT FUEL STATION DURING AUTOMATIC FILLING. DEALER DROPPED TANK AND FOUND A FUEL LINE THAT WAS 'RUBBED' THROUGH TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I WILL DOCUMENT WITH PICTURES UPON MY RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP IF NEEDED FOR FUTURE. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT ON A ($70K) 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THERE IS A FUEL LEAK THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED WITH A 10 CENT PIECE OF INSULATION TO PROTECT THE LINES FROM RUBBING. SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE CHOOSE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY DURING VALIDATION TESTING! TOTAL BS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHEN TRAVELING 40MPH AND ABOVE WITH A REAR WINDOW DOWN. THE VIBRATION IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASED CABIN PRESSURE. THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSING HEADACHES, NAUSEA, AND DIZZINESS. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMS ISSUE AND TRIED TO REPAIR, BUT UNABLE TO. THE VIBRATION STARTED RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015 AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES UNFIXED TO THIS DAY AFTER 5 VISITS.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
DRIVING IN SNOWY CONDITIONS WITH THE VEHICLE IN 4WD, BEGAN NAVIGATING A TURN AND THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND THE DASH DISPLAYED THE "4WD SHIFT ON PROGRESS" ON THE DASH WITHOUT DRIVER TOUCHING THE 4WD BUTTONS. COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE OR DO ANYTHING. VEHICLE ENDED UP HITTING A WALL CAUSING A FAIR AMOUNT OF DAMAGE. VEHICLE DOES NOT GO IN FOR REPAIRS UNTIL NEXT WEEK BUT THE DEALERSHIP MADE IT SOUND LIKE IT'S A TRANSFER CASE ISSUE WHICH APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
I PURCHASED OUR 2015 GMC YUKON XL IN OCTOBER OF 2014. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRES FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND HAD MANY PARTS REPLACED ONLY FOR THE NOISE TO COME RIGHT BACK. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES AND ALL THE TIRES ARE WEARING TO THE POINT THAT BELTS ARE NOW SHOWING. WHEN TALKING TO CONTINENTAL THESE FACTORY TIRES HAVE AN 80,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT THAT TIRE WEAR WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER FACTORY TIRES. AFTER CALLING GMC, CONTINENTAL AND MY LOCAL DEALER, I FINALLY WAS TOLD THEY WOULD GIVE ME $250 TOWARD NEW TIRES BUT I COULD ONLY USE THAT TOWARD THE PURCHASE OF CONTINENTAL TIRES. RECENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME TIRES THAT ARE ON MY VEHICLE FOR ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE BEEN HAVING. WHEN I CALLED CONTINENTAL, I WAS TOLD THAT MY TIRES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOW CAN I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT ARE DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL BUT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO ABOUT IT BECAUSE MY DOT IS NOT IN THE 1 MONTH RECALL. I HAVE NOW HAD TO SPEND $1000 TO PURCHASE NEW TIRES FOR A VEHICLE THAT HAS ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT AND COST $70,000 TO PURCHASE 2 YEARS AGO. *TR

WHEELS, TIRES
THREAD OF THE LEFT BACK TIRE FLOWERED UP AND IT POPPED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT ON A FLAT. A COLLISION ALMOST TOOK PLACE, MY HUSBAND WAS ALMOST SMASHED BETWEEN THE CONCRETE WALL AND THE TRUCK WHILE TRYING TO CHECK THE TIRE, ON STAR RESPONSE WAS GOING TO TAKE 1HR 45 MIN. AFTER GETTING TO A SAFE PLACE WE CHECKED THE OTHER 3 TIRES AND NOTICE THE RIGHT REAR TIRE PRESENTED MISSING PART OF THE TIRE WALL AS A PUZZLE PIECE MISSING, TIRES HAD EXACTLY 30K MILES WITH THIS TRIP. TIRES ARE CONTINENTAL P275-55R20-111S WE TOLD THE DEALER TIRES ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:TREAD/BELT
I PURCHASED A NEW, 2015 GMC YUKON XL IN DECEMBER OF 2014. I HAD BEEN DEALING WITH A VIBRATION RELATED PROBLEM AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS STARTING IN OCTOBER OF 2015 IN MY SUV THAT THE DEALER BALANCED, ALIGNED, ETC. PROBLEM STILL EXISTED IN DECEMBER OF 2015, AGAIN RAN TESTS AND FOUND NOTHING. CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN EVERY TIME I WENT INTO DEALER AND ON JUNE 28, 2016 AND WAS TOLD MY TREAD WAS WEARING UNEVENLY, AND AFTER A ROAD TEST WITH THE HEAD TECHNICIAN IT WAS FOUND THERE WAS HIGH ROAD FORCE ON THE TIRES. TODAY I CAME IN FOR MY OIL CHANGE AND MY DEALER HAD AN ALERT TO CHECK MY TIRES (ORIGINAL ONES THAT I REPLACED AT MY COST ON 6/28/16) FOR THE EXACT TIRE ON MY TRUCK GIVING ME THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A HIGH SPEED VIBRATION AND TREAD WEAR PROBLEMS. MY OLD TIRES WERE OUTSIDE OF THE RECALL BUT I FEEL THAT THEY WERE DEFECTIVE. MY DOT# WAS A32AWBDE2414 AND I HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 TIRES. GM PAID PARTIAL WARRANTY ON THEM. MY COST WAS $519.45. *TR
