ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
RIGHT REAR LED TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. NOT EASILY FIXABLE. DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND MAKE YOU PAY $700+ A PIECE FOR A WHOLE NEW ASSEMBLY. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD INSIDE. THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE TAKEN APART AND FIXED EASILY OR GM SHOULD REPLACE IT FOR FREE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER SIDE BREAK LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER RESEARCHING MULTIPLE OWNERS IN SIMILAR MODEL YEARS HAVE NOTED THE ISSUE BEING INSIDE OF THE LIGHT ITSELF HAVING AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS $750 FOR A NEW ONE WHEN THE PROBLEM IS WIDE SPREAD, NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND MADE RIGHT.

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WHERE MY VEHICLE ENDED UP IN A DITCH AND HIT A CEMENT CULVERT HEAD ON. THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. ALL AIRBAGS ALONG THE SIDES OF THE VEHICLE DID, BUT NEITHER FRONT WERE ACTIVATED. ALTHOUGH I DIDN'T HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE, THERE WERE OTHER ITEMS IN THE SEAT THAT WERE QUITE HEAVY.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE LIGHT SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. IT IS AN LED LIGHT WHICH SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED. OUR LOCAL GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THAT IT IS THE 'DRIVER' ATTACHED TO THE LED BULB THAT IS FAULTY, BUT IT CANNOT SIMPLY BE REPLACED. THEY HAVE TO REINSTALL AN ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT WHICH APPARENTLY IS PRETTY COSTLY. I WAS QUOTED $925. AGAIN, NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHT BULB ITSELF. SHOULDN'T COST $925 TO FIX.

DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT NOT WORKING. APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM IN THESE YEAR YUKONS, AND GMC REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. REPAIR IS EXORBITANTLY EXPENSIVE, AND GMC SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 50,000 MILES, AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. IT'S BECAUSE OF A DEFECT IN DESIGN. THE METAL BRACKET THAT HOLDS THE BRAKE LIGHT LEDS IS CRACKED AND BREAKS THE CIRCUIT, THEREFORE THE LIGHTS WON'T WORK. LED LIGHTS SHOULD WORK FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. ONLY WAY TO FIX IT THROUGH THE DEALER IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY TO THE TUNE OF APPROXIMATELY $1400 FOR BOTH LIGHTS. IT CAN BE REPAIRED BY CUTTING THE ASSEMBLY OPEN AND SOLDERING THE CRACK IN THE LED BRACKET. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS BEING REPORTED ONLINE. DEALERS DENY ENCOUNTERING THE PROBLEM. GMC IS NOT ADDRESSING THE ISSUE. THERE ARE REPORTED CASES ONLINE WHERE GMC YUKON OWNERS HAVE OF COURSE HAD THE REPAIRS MADE WITHIN WARRANTY WITH NO COST BUT AS SOON AS THE WARRANTY IS OUT AND THE PROBLEM REOCCURS, THEN THE OWNER HAS TO PAY APPROXIMATELY $700 PER LIGHT TO REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NO BRAKE LIGHTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS WRECKS AND INJURY.

WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THE ONLY OPTION FOR REPAIR IS REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE LIGHT AT A COST OF OVER $900 PER TAIL LIGHT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE IS A 7 PASSENGER 2015 GMC YUKEN VEHICLE. BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $500.00 EACH. THE ENTIRE LIGHTING ASSEMBLY INCLUDING BRAKE LIGHT FAILED. THE OPERATOR IS NEVER MADE AWARE BY THE VEHICLE WARNING SYSTEM THAT THE VEHICLE'S BRAKE OR TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE ONLY WAY THE HAZARD IS IDENTIFIED IS IF ANOTHER OPERATOR NOTIFIES THE OWNER. BEING THAT THE VEHICLE IS A 7 PASSENGER AND USUALLY CARRYING CHILDREN ARE IN THE THIRD ROW THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. A REAR END COLLISION DUE TO NO LIGHTS OR BRAKE LIGHTS IS VERY POSSIBLE. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE LED LIGHTS FAILING HOWEVER DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE IS NO RECALL THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE NEW LED LIGHTS. DOES IT HAVE TO TAKE A VEHICLE BEING REAR ENDED AND A CHILD INJURED OR KILLED TO HAVE THESE VEHICLES RECALLED? THIS ISSUE IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET, ONE HAS TO TYPE GMC LED LIGHT FAILURE AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT ILLUMINATING. HOWEVER, WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT CALLED COULTER BUICK GMC PHOENIX (1202 E CAMELBACK RD, PHOENIX, AZ 85014, (602) 396-5994) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
OVER THE LIFE OF OWING THIS NEW CAR, FROM MARCH 2016 TO JULY 2019, THE REAR PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAVE EACH FAILED ONCE AND WERE REPLACED BY MY OWN EXPENSE. AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME TOTAL, THIS MONTH THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPEATED ITS FAILURE TO HAVE THE BREAK LIGHT TO FUNCTION. I FEEL THIS AMOUNT OF PART FAILURE INSIDE 3 YEARS IS TOO EXTREME AND IS DUE TO POOR DESIGN BY THE MANUFACTURER. THESE FAILED PARTS HAPPENED AT 16,000, 30,000 AND 50,000 MILES OF VEHICLE USE. NONE OF THE TAILLIGHT PARTS WERE EVER PHYSICALLY DAMAGED BEFORE. THE COST OF THE PART ALONE IS $795.00. THAT IS EVEN MORE REDICULOUS CONSIDERING A HOME LED BULB LASTS LONGER AND COSTS MUCH LESS.

REAR LED TAILLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WHERE THIS HAPPENS TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. IF YOU TAP THE TAILLIGHT IT SOMETIMES BEGINS WORKING AGAIN. TRUCK ONLY HAS 60K MILES AND GM WANTS OVER $1200 TO FIX (REPLACE BOTH TAILLIGHTS). EVIDENTLY THERE'S A CIRCUIT BOARD THAT GOES BAD INSIDE. I HAD THIS AT GM TO BE FIXED BUT BECAUSE TAILLIGHTS WERE WORKING AT THE TIME, THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY FAILING TO LIGHT WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AND THERE IS NOT A NOTIFICATION TO THE DRIVER. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE FLAW WITH THE LED LIGHT CIRCUIT INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY. THERE IS NOT A LIGHT OUT NOTIFICATION SO THE DRIVER IS NOT AWARE THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS AN WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 2015-2019 YUKON. THIS IS OCCURRING OFTEN AND GMC IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SUPPLYING REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE THE DEMAND IS SO HIGH FROM THE FAILURE. GMC HAS ALSO RAISED THE PRICE OF THE BRAKE LIGHT BY 30% FROM $425 TO $675 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED IT WAS A HIGH FAILING ITEM AND WAS ON BACKORDER AND NOT SURE WHEN THEY WOULD GET ONE. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PROPER BRAKE LIGHTS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT LEGAL SO LEFT WITH LITTLE OPTION BUT TO STOP DRIVING THE YUKON.

REAR TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT FAILED AFTER FUNCTIONING INTERMITTENTLY FOR A MONTH. GMC DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW GM PART AT A COST OF OVER $800. GMC DEALER EXPLAINED THAT DESPITE CHRONIC FAILURES OF THIS PARTICULAR PART, GM REFUSES TO RECALL. FAILURE APPEARS TO RESULT FROM A FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED EASILY. INTERMITTENT NATURE OF THE FAILURE IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT OR IN FOUL WEATHER.

PURCHASED VEHICLE (USED) FROM DEALER LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. DRIVER TAILLIGHT WENT OUT. NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT ACCORDING TO SEVERAL FORUMS IN A KNOWN PROBLEM. THE TAILLIGHT IS ARCHITECTED, ENGINEERED, AND BUILT IN SUCH A WAY AS TO BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, BREAK OFTEN, AND DISCOURAGE DIY OR NON-DEALER REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED.
