ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
COMPONENT AFFECTED: STABILITRAC MODULE CAUSE: A POWER SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN CAUSED THE STABILITRAC (STABILITY CONTROL) MODULE TO MALFUNCTION. UNSAFE CONDITION: THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN A FULL 180 DEGREES ON ITS OWN AT IDLE/LOW SPEED. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE CAR WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" LIGHT WOULD ACTIVATE ON THE DASH AND MESSAGE DISPLAYED "STABILITRAC DISABLED". REMEDY: THE STEERING WHEEL WIRING HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND THE STABILITRAC MODULE WAS REPLACED BY MY GMC DEALERSHIP IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, THE ISSUE HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON 2015 AND NEWER GMC YUKON, YUKON XL, DENALI, DENALI XL VEHICLES FAIL DUE TO POOR QUALITY CIRCUIT METAL/DESIGN OF BOARD ALLOWING TOO NARROW A CONNECTION FOR METAL USED. THE RESULT IS A CRACK IN THE CIRCUITS METAL WHICH, DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS, BREAKS THE CIRCUIT AND THE TAIL LIGHTS FAIL TO WORK. SPECIFICALLY BRAKE LIGHTS FAIL FIRST PUTTING THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE IN AN SERIOUS SAFETY SITUATION WITH NO INDICATION THAT THE FAILURE HAS HAPPENED. IN ADDITION, THE SAFETY OF DRIVERS BEHIND A GM VEHICLE EXHIBITING THIS PROBLEM ARE AT SERIOUS RISK AS THEY MAY NOT REALIZE THE VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP. GMC IS REFUSING TO COVER THE ISSUE AND REQUIRES $800 PER LIGHT AND OPENLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE NEW LIGHT CAN DO THE SAME THING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I DON'T NORMALLY GO SO FAR WITH AN ISSUE, BUT THIS SEEMS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AND WARRANTS A RECALL. WITH THE LACK OF INDICATION OTHER THAN COURTEOUS DRIVERS TELLING YOU THE LIGHTS ARE OUT OR POLICE PULLING YOU OVER TO TELL YOU, THE ISSUES OFTEN START WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD BUT NO WAY TO KNOW. NUMEROUS REPORTS OF TAIL LIGHT FAILURES WITH NEW VEHICLES INDICATE THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT RELATED TO AGE. AS WITH MY LIGHTS, NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE LIGHT AT ALL ELIMINATES SOME KIND OF IMPACT OUTSIDE OF NORMAL ROAD BUMPS. HOPEFULLY ACTION CAN BE TAKEN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR THE LAST 2.5 YEARS. I AM HIGHLY UPSET THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION, HOWEVER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE LED STRIP IN THE HEAD LIGHT IS OUT. I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR ALMOST $2000 WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WHICH THEY WILL NOT COVER. I ALSO HAVE THE BACK PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT OUT AND I AM TOLD THAT THE WHOLE PANEL NEEDS REPLACING. A TOTAL FOR THE LED STRIP AND BACK PANEL WILL COST CLOSE TO $1900. WHY IN THE WORLD IS IT THAT AND LED LIGHT IS SUPPOSED TO LAST 5X LONGER THAN A REGULAR LIGHT, BUT IT JUST GOES OUT? THAT MAKES NO SENSE. IF THE VEHICLE WAS 10 YEARS OLD, THAT IS ONE THING, BUT IT BEING STILL ON THE NEW END, MAKES NO SENSE. ALSO, HOW DOES THE WHOLE BACK LIGHT PANEL JUST GO OUT? AND WHY DO DEALERSHIPS ACT LIKE " OH WELL, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO!" GMC MUST BE LOWERING THEIR STANDARDS. HAD I KNOWN THIS VEHICLE WOULD HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AND NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO HELP, THEN I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE SPEND THE LAST 30 MINUTES READING A FORUM OF A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHERS HAVING HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON JULY 13 OF 2018 AC IN MY VEHICLE STARTED TO BLOW HOT AIR, I WAS WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD, DURING THIS DAY IT WAS 98 DEGREES OUT, MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY FOUND A LEAK IN THE CONDENSER, APPERANTLY THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM FOR MANY GM VEHICLE WITH 5.3 L V8 ENGINE FROM 2014 AND UP, WHEN WE CALLED LOCAL GM DEALERS THEY WERE AWARE OF THE AC PROBLEMS ON THESE CARS, WE WERE TOLD THAT AC LINES DEVELOP A CRACK AND FREON LEAKS OR AC CONDENSER STARTS LEAKING FREON AND IN OUR CASE IT'S A CONDENSER, AFTER DOING A RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND READING ON THE GM FORUMS MANY OWNERS HAVE THESE LEAKS DUE TO BAD DESIGN OF AC COMPONENTS, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT GM SHOULD ISSUE S RECALL BECAUSE TOO MANY VEHICLES HAVE SAME ISSUE, AND SINCE OUR WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED 6,000 MILES AGO WE HAVE TO PAY OVER $1000 FOR A REPAIR, I HOPE YOUR ORGANIZATION WILL DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, THIS SHOULD BE A CALL FOR A RECALL.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LED LIGHTING IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. HAD IT REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LED LIGHTING NOW WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, NEW ISSUE. HAVE NOT HAD REPLACED YET DUE TO OUTRAGEOUS COST($700) FOR FIXTURE REPLACEMENT. ONLY 40,000 MILES ON VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY REFLECTS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE TO FINANCIALLY STRAPPED CONSUMERS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR TAIL LIGHT IS OUT AND DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE $900 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THIS VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AN LED BULB WOULD OR SHOULD BURN OUT THIS FAST NOR SHOULD THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY BE REPLACED. GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL OR REPLACE JUST THE BULBS AT COST.

I HAVE READ ONLINE NOW WHERE ALOT OF COMPLAINTS ARE BEING MADE FOR SAME ISSUE. ALSO HAVE EXTERIOR BLACK DOOR PANEL FLAPPING IN THE WIND AND DEALER SAYS THAT'S NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EITHER.

POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
VEHICLE STARTED HAVING A VIBRATION AT CRUISING SPEEDS AFTER 100K MILES. DEALERSHIP STATES THE DRIVESHAFT IS WHARPED AND NEEDS REPLACING.. REAR TAILLIGHTS ALSO ARE GOING IN AND OUT INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER CLAIMS THE LEDS ARE BAD AND THE WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDS REPLACING. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES AND HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH A BENT DRIVESHAFT OR DEFECTIVE TAILLIGHTS THAT REQUIRE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY TO BE REPLACED. THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS $750 QUOTED BY DEALERSHIP.

BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LAMPS, TURN SIGNALS AND RUNNING LAMPS SHORT OUT AND STOP WORKING. WHEN VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, LAMPS ARE REPLACED WITH NEW UNITS, THAT ARE ALSO FAULTY AND EVENTUALLY FAIL, IN ANYWHERE FROM 1 WEEK TO 1 YEAR. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS WIDESPREAD, NATIONWIDE PROBLEM, YET REFUSES TO ISSUE A RECALL, AND CHARGES $1500+ THE REPLACE THE UNITS WITH NEW OEM, THAT ARE STILL FAULTY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT SHORTED OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (LIBERTY GMC, 8660 W BELL RD, PEORIA, AZ 85382, (602) 730-7652) DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD, WHICH IMPACTED THE REAR EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT
