EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AT 32,000 MILES WE HAD OUR BACK TAIL LIGHT GO OUT. GMC REPLACED IT AT COST TO THEM WHICH WAS AROUND $280 . LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER THE OTHER TAIL LIGHT WENT OUT AND DEALER TOLD US 'LIGHTS GO OUT'. WE PAID FULL PRICE $680 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. NOW OUR LEFT TAIL LIGHT IS OUT AGAIN AND IT'LL BE ANOTHER $680 OR MORE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. THEY ARE LED TAIL LIGHTS. THESE SHE LAST A VERY LONG TIME. THOUSANDS OF OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. CAR GURUS HAS A BLOG SOLELY ABOUT THIS. THE ODD THING IS THEY ARE MOSTLY 2015 YUKON'S. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE ON THIS PROBLEM AND THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THIS SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR REPLACING THESE TAIL LIGHTS OVER AND OVER! IF YOU PAY 60,000 FOR A CAR YOU SHOULD NOT GO THROUGH THIS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE REAR POWER LOCKS ARE INOPERATIVE AT TIMES- WHEN USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND THE MASTER SWITCH. OWNER IS HAVING TO REACH TO THE BACK SEAT TO OPEN THE BACK DOORS WITH THE BACK DOOR LOCKS TO ALLOW PASSENGERS (CHILDREN) OUT OF THE VEHICLE. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, THE BACK SEAT PASSENGERS ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO GET OUT ON THEIR OWN, OR BE ABLE TO GET OUT QUICKLY WITH ASSISTANCE. THIS ALSO MAKES THE CHILD LOCK FUNCTION UNUSABLE AS THE BACK DOORS WOULD NEVER OPEN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHT GOES IN AND OUT AND DOESN'T WORK ALL THE TIME. ACCORDING TO WHAT I'M READING IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. THERE IS NO FIX EXCEPT BUYING A BRAND NEW ONE AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT. SEEMS LIKE A POOR DESIGN AND NOT TO MENTION I CAN GET A TICKET FOR THIS. AND MOST IMPORTANT...I HAVE A FAMILY WITH TWO SMALL KIDS AND THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CAR WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSE AND COMBUSTED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING. CAR WAS EXPLODING AND ENGULFED IN FLAMES...COMPLETELY DESTROYED VIA FIRE AND THE WORST DAMAGE WAS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS UNKNOWN ALTHOUGH BASED ON RESEARCH SOUNDS LIKE NHTSA CAMPAIGN #14V007000 OR 14V152000. FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND POLICE WERE ON THE SCENE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A RIDICULOUS COST. EXTREMELY POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN. THAT IS IF IT WASN'T INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED TO FAIL. ON THE LOW END $5-600 TO REPLACE A TAIL LIGHT??? WHAT A JOKE. SAD THING IS I'M LUCKY, MANY MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD MORE THAN ONE LIGHT ASSEMBLY GO OUT. I'VE BOUGHT GM FOR MY LAST 3 VEHICLES (ENVOY, TAHOE, YUKON) THIS WILL LIKELY BE THE LAST TIME I EVER BUY GM.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BRAKE LIGHTS WORK SPORADICALLY, UNTIL THE PASSENGER REAR FINALLY STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THAT THEY REPLACE SEVERAL A WEEK, AND MY WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. GOT A ESTIMATE OF OVER $1600 TO REPAIR IT. WAS PULLED OVER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS EACH TIME WAS TOLD IT WAS EITHER THE LEFT OR RIGHT NOT WORKING. THEN MIRACULOUSLY BOTH WOULD BE WORKING. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM LIKE THE DEALERSHIP STATED, THEN WHY HASN'T GM RECALLED OR DISCONTINUED USING THEM? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT AS SIMPLE AS REPLACING A BULB. WAY TO COSTLY TO JUST BRING IN FOR REPAIRS!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN. MORE IN THE SUMMER THAN THE WINTER. THE BREAK LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL STILL WORK GREAT. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE HAVING TAIL LIGHTS ONE MINUTE AND THEN NOT HAVING TAIL LIGHTS. I ASKED GM MONTHS AGO TO DO A RECALL AND STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IT IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. WE SEEN ONLINE THAT ALL THE ISSUE IS, IS A PLACE THAT COMES LOOSE IN THE TAIL LIGHT AND IT ONLY NEEDS SOLDERED TOGETHER. WE TOOK THE TAIL LIGHTS OUT AND HAD A PROFESSIONAL TO SOLDER IT AND THEY STARTED WORKING PERFECTLY. THEY NOW ARE WORKING PART TIME AGAIN. FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE I FEEL LIKE IT IS AN ISSUE GM SHOULD FIX. IF IT WAS RARE I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF I HAD TO BUY NEW TAIL LIGHTS. BUT WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE WILL NEW LIGHTS NOT DO THE SAME?

SEATS, SUSPENSION, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE A/C HAS QUICK WORKING. WE TOOK IT IN TO GET FIXED, THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG EXCEPT LOW ON FREON. REPLACED AND IT IS GONE (HAS DYE IN IT & NO DETECTION WHERE IT HAS GONE). I DIDN'T DRIVE THIS CAR FOR 6 MOS. BECAUSE OF THIS (TOO HOT). I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING WRONG ON THIS CAR. SAME DAY A/C WENT OUT, THE HEAT SYSTEM WENT OUT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT. JUST BLOWS COLD AIR! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! THE SUSPENSION IS NOW SLAMMING HARD AND SUPER LOUD (ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS COOL/COLD OUT). I AM GLAD THEY ARE FINALLY FIXING THE BRAKE ISSUE BUT REALLY? ALL THIS OTHER BS ON THIS EXPENSIVE CAR? THE DAY WE GOT BACK FROM SHOP FOR THE A/C, THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WAS OUT. OMG!! TALK ABOUT EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR!! 650-800 FOR JUST THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY THROUGH GMC AND THAT IS RECONDITIONED PARTS! WHY WOULD WE PUT MORE CRAP PARTS IN? WAITED ANOTHER 2 MOS TO SAVE MONEY TO GO TO AN AFTERMARKET PERSON TO FIX THIS. JUST WAITING ON THE OTHER SIDE TO GO OUT! LIGHTS GO OUT ALL THE TIME, WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THEM WHERE THEY ARE NOT AFFORDABLE? WE BABY OUR CAR, PARK AWAY FROM EVERYONE AND YET IT IS FALLING APART DUE TO THE CRAPPY PRODUCTS THAT GM USED TO MANUFACTURE IT. ALL THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED (EXCEPT THE BRAKING ISSUE AND THE SUSPENSION) WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR AND I NOTICED IT. THE SUSPENSION IS WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE ROAD CAN JUST HAVE A 'WAVE" IN IT. IF THERE IS ANY SORT OF BOUNCE, THIS CAR WILL BOTTOM OUT AND IS SUPER LOUD.THE AIR STARTED 3/28/19 AND ALL HAS FOLLOWED. WE BOUGHT IT USED WITH 74K-ISH ON IT. HAVE ONLY HAD IT SINCE LAST JULY, 2018

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
A FEW DAYS AGO I GOT OUT OF MY TRUCK TO RETRIEVE A PACKAGE LEFT AT MY GARAGE DOOR. I PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK WALKED AROUND MY CAR DOOR WALKED BY THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK TO RETRIEVE THE PACKAGE AND ALL THE SUDDEN I WAS KNOCKED DOWN. I DID NOT REALIZE WHAT HAPPENED UNTIL I LOOKED UP AND SAW MY TRUCK DRIVING TOWARDS ME. I SCREAM FOR HELP AS I CRAWLED BACKWARDS TO SAFETY. A FEW MINUTES LATER I REALIZE THE TRUCK WAS NO LONGER MOVING AND BY THE GRACE OF GOD MY WHEELS WERE TURNED SLIGHTLY AND IT HAD STOPPED BECAUSE IT HIT THE SIDE OF MY HOUSE. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS FOR THE SHOCK TO WEAR OFF OF WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ME OR MY KIDS IF THEY WERE PLAYING OUTSIDE. MY HUSBAND AND I SPOKE TO A COUPLE OF PEOPLE INCLUDING A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND WE FOUND OUT THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE ON THE 2015 YUKONS. I AM ATTACHING PICTURES OF WHAT WE FOUND FROM GMC ALONG WITH MY TRUCK.

SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAIL LAMPS, TAIL LAMPS TAIL LAMPS! NON SERVICEABLE LED ILLUMINATION BULB CIRCUIT IS FAULTY LEADING TO INTERMITTENT OPERATION. HAVING PART TIME BRAKE LIGHT IS AGAINST THE LAW AND MORE IMPORTANT TO ME, LEAVES MY FAMILY IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. WEB SEARCH LEADS TO MANY MOTORIST HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I. AS A PAYING TAXPAYER WE SHOULD NOT BE SOLD FAULTY GOODS THAT MAY HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

THE REAR LEFT TAIL LIGHT HAS GONE OUT, WHICH IS A COMMON FAILURE MODE OF THIS DESIGN. THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT MODULE MUST BE REPLACED, PUSHING $1000 FOR A BAD DESIGN. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED, AS IT IS EXTREMELY AFFORDABLE AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GMC WILL NOT ADDRESS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
REAR FAULTY BRAKE LIGHTS BOTH SIDES. QUOTED 1800 TO REPLACE. WITH A QUICK SEARCH FOR REPLACEMENT/FIX OPTIONS I FOUND A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL THAT HAS REPAIRED OVER 2000 OF THEM. THERE ARE MANY MORE OUT THERE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH A HIGH PERCENTAGE OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL AND GM ACKNOWLEDGED IT BY REPLACING THE COPE THE 2 YEARS LATER BUT HAS REFUSED TO RECALL THIS. IT'S AN ABSOLUTE SAFETY HAZARD THAT SEEMS TO BE IGNORED BY GM
