EXTERIOR LIGHTING
RIGHT TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT HAS INTERMEDIATE PROBLEM. ADVISED DEALERSHIP, THEY HIT THE LIGHT WITH HAND AND IT FLASHED. GMC IS AWARE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. NO DETECTION FROM ANY OF THE SENSORS ADVISING THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH GMC YUKONS WHEREIN THERE IS A BROKEN WIRE IN THE LIGHT ITSELF AND IT IS A FULL UNIT THAT COST APPROXIMATELY $650.00. PRINCE DEALERSHIP DID NOT EVEN ADVISE THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF CHECKING THE TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT WAS WARRANTED.

SERVICE BRAKES
IT WAS A 101 DEGREE OUT HERE IN DENVER, COLORADO. WHILE DRIVING ON A TOLL WAY AT 75 MILES PER HOUR AN "ABS" LIGHT WITH A "SERVICE STABILITRAK" MESSAGE POPPED OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING OK WITH LIGHTS ON UNTIL I FINISH THE TOLL WAY (30 MILES) AND THEN FOR THE NEXT 50 MILES ON A HIGHWAY. I NOTICED THE FIRST PROBLEM WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND DRIVING AT A LOWER RPM. AT 30-45 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE STARTED SETTING THE BREAK ON BY ITSELF AND DRAFTED TO THE LEFT LANE. THEN I HAD TO STEER QUICKLY TO THE RIGHTSCOUPLE TIMES UNTIL I REACH TO MY DESTINATION. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I STEER HARDER EITHER TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT A LOW RPM, THE VEHICLE STOPES ROLLING BY ITSELF BEFORE I PUSH ON THE BREAK.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE WHOLE BACK TAIL LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED AFTER FAILING. POOR DESIGN AND A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE 2015-2017 GMC YUKONS. THERE IS A COMMON AREA THAT BREAKS. NOT ONLY A BIG EXPENSE BUT ALSO A LARGE WASTE OF MATERIAL CONSIDERING THE WHOLE UNIT HAS TO BE REPLACED. COST IS OVER $800.00 AND THE DEALER BUYS BACK THE OLD LIGHT FOR $50 SEEMS A BIT SUSPICIOUS BY GMC. THESE LAMPS ARE A SEALED UNIT AND WERE NEVER DESIGNED TO BE REPAIRED. AS DESIGNED, IF THERE IS A PROBLEM, THE LAMP IS REPLACED AS A COMPLETE AND VERY EXPENSIVE UNIT.

SINCE I AM TALLER I WAS HIT AND WAS ABLE TO SAVE MY CHILD FROM INJURY. I WAS HIT SEVERAL TIMES ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS EITHER I THE HEAD OR IN THE BACK, DEPENDING ON MY POSITION AT THE TIME. I ENSURED THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE KEY FOBIN MY POCKET TO ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATE THE CLOSURE, AND I ENSURE THAT I DID NOT ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATE THE CLOSURE SENSOR UNDERNEATH THE REAR BUMPER AREA. UPON INVESTIGATION THE DEALER DETERMINE THE CAUSE TO BE A LIFT GATE MODULE DEFECT, AS WELL AS SENSOR AND LIFTGATE CALIBRATION.
