TAIL BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT.

NHTSA ODI 11204562

THE BRAKE LIGHTS WORK SOMETIMES AND THEN DON'T, THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. IF THEY STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING THIS COULD KILL ME OR ANOTHER DRIVER OR SOMEONES PASSENGER(S).

NHTSA ODI 11204639

HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 2018 AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND WHEN TRIED TO STOP AND PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS LIKE IT FROZE AND I WAS STILL MOVING. I WAS DRIVING 37MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.

NHTSA ODI 11204063

ON REPEATED OCCASIONS (FROM 2015 TO 2019) I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS AND SUDDEN JERKING MOTIONS. THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEED CONTROLS ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. THIS IS HAZARDOUS AND MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES INCLUDING A STUCK CALIPER AT APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES. I REPORTED THESE ISSUES AND NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES TO GMC CORPORATE, TUSTIN BUICK GMC ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND THINGS ARE SATISFACTORY AND SAFE. GMC CONTENDS THAT THE VEHICLE IS FINE AND DECLINES TO ASSIST WITH ISSUES. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. THE DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. THE MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATE ON ALL ENTRIES.

THERE ARE NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE TAILLIGHTS ON THE YUKON DENALI XL. GMC IS NEGLIGENT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN INITIATED.

NHTSA ODI 11203836

THE AC CONDENSER STOPPED WORKING. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN REPLACED. FIRST UNDER WARRANTY, SECOND IS NOT. IT IS FUNNY HOW EVERY PERSON AT DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT KNOWS THE CONDENSER IS A FAULTY PRODUCT, BIT GMC WON'T RECALL. EVEN NON GMC REPAIR SHOPS KNOW THIS.

NHTSA ODI 11203117

WHILE DRIVING MY YUKON, I WAS PREPARING TO STOP A LIGHT ONLY TO STRUGGLE WITH PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE THAT WAS IN FRONT OF ME

NHTSA ODI 11203231

I PURCHASED A 2015 GMC YUKON AND AM THE SECOND OWNER. LAST WEEK, MY DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. I NOTICED IT WHILE DRIVING WHEN SOMEONE BEHIND ME TOLD ME IT WAS OUT. SIX MONTHS AGO, I REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT WHICH COST $875 TO FIX (THE ENTIRE LIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED, NOT JUST A BULB). A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE HAS PROVEN THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM FOR MANY OTHER GMC YUKON OWNERS. LED LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST THE LIFETIME OF THE VEHICLE, BUT IT WOULD APPEAR THAT SOMETHING ABOUT THE PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE. THIS IS SIMPLY OUTRAGEOUS AND GMC KNOWS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON. SHORTLY AFTER THE CONTACT PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE AND THE RADIO FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE DEALER (PENSKE BUICK GMC OF CERRITOS, 17720 CRUSADER AVE, CERRITOS, CA 90703, (877) 886-6265) REPLACED THE RADIO WITH A WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. ALSO, THE VENT CONTROLS FAILED FOR THE AIR CONDITIONER AND HEATER. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND A U TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY SERVICED THE VEHICLE PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING) AND WAS AWARE THAT THE RECALL REMEDY FAILED. THE CONDITION PROGRESSED TO THE POINT THAT THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE MULTIPLE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

BRAKE LED LIGHTS GO OUT AND ON, SOMETIMES ONE SIDE WORKS, THEN OTHER TIMES THE OTHER SIDE GOES OUT, AND SOMETIMES BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES BY BANGING THE COVER, IT TURNS ON AND WORKS, BUT THEN THEY GO OUT.

NHTSA ODI 11202715

BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT.

NHTSA ODI 11197341

ALL BREAK LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME ON BOTH SIDES OF VEHICLE. TURN SIGNAL, BACK UP LIGHTS, BLINKERS ALL STILL WORK. I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE BREAK LIGHT HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR A COST OF APX 2K. IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THE COST OF REPAIR IS ASTRONOMICAL.

NHTSA ODI 11202543

REAR LIGHTS, TAIL LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. YOU CANT JUST CHANGE THE BULB. BEING LEDS THE WHOLE PIECE HAS TO BE CHANGED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND GM KNOWS ABOUT IT, YET THERES BEEN NO RECALL??

NHTSA ODI 11202551

LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT (LED) AND BREAK LIGHT FAILURE. NOT A BULB BUT THE CIRCUIT FAILED. BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER BULBS, BUT THIS WAS NOT A BULB FAILURE! I WOULD LIKE TO APPEAL THIS DENIAL

NHTSA ODI 11197146

RIGHT SIDE /PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED. DEALER SAYS IT'S A CRACKED ELECTRICAL BOARD. THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE SEEN TONS OF THESE AND IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY. $1300 DEALER REPAIR ESTIMATE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE.

NHTSA ODI 11197205

TAKATA RECALL DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY STREETS

NHTSA ODI 11197068

BRAKES GET HARD WHEN TOWING MY BOAT AND SOMETIMES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC.

NHTSA ODI 11196732

THE DRIVER'S SIDE BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE LED CIRCUIT BOARD WAS BROKEN. A WEB SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AS THE CIRCUIT BOARD IS CHEAPLY MADE. THE BRAKE LIGHT CANNOT BE SIMPLY REPLACED. THE ENTIRE REAR LIGHT COMPONENT (BRAKE LIGHT, RUNNING LIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO REPAIR THIS. THE COST TO REPLACE IS ~$500. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH A LED LIGHT BOARD THAT IS STRONGER AND LASTS LONGER THAN 4 YEARS.

NHTSA ODI 11196766

BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD IN SLOW MOVING AND STOP & GO DRIVING CAUSING VEHICLE TO BE HARD TO STOP WITH NO BREAK POWER. THIS SITUATION GETS WORSE WHEN TOWING A TRAILER IN TRAFFIC AN DOWN HILL WHERE YOU NEED THE BRAKE POWER

NHTSA ODI 11196188

I HAVE REPLACED THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILIGHT AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE TAILIGHT IS NOT WORKING. THE TURN SIGNAL AND REVERSE LIGHT WORK BUT THE RED PART OF THE LIGHT WILL WORK AND THEN GO OUT.

NHTSA ODI 11196123

REAR PARKING/BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT. DEALER SAYS THE FIX IS $800 PLUS LABOR TO FIX.

NHTSA ODI 11196009

MY GMC YOUKON DENALI HAS BRAKE LIGHTS THAT ARE KNOWN TO DEALERS TO FAIL. YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL. I LOOKED ON THE INTER NET AND SAW THAT THERE HAS BEEN THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2015 TO 2018. BECAUSE OF A JOINT THAT WAS SOLDERED INSTEAD OF A WIRE. I KNOW WHY WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR RECALL THAT THE SERVICE MAN LOOKED AT MY STOP LIGHTS.

NHTSA ODI 11195738

TAILLIGHTS WORKING INTERMITTENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE GOOGLE AND THERE OVER A 100 COMPLAINTS ON CAR GURUS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A GMC SAFETY PROBLEM. THESE YUKON'S ARE EXPENSE AND I SHOULD FEEL SAFE WHILE DRIVING IT. TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING. I AM ASKING A CUSTOMER OF GMC--- DO THE RIGHT THING AND LOOK INTO THIS AS SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED - NO TAILLIGHTS COULD BE A LIFE THREATING SAFETY ISSUE. GMC DO THE RIGHT THING. LOOK AT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE

NHTSA ODI 11194525

THE LED BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT THERE SEEMS TOO BE FAULTY ELECTRICAL AND COMPANY KNOWS IT

NHTSA ODI 11194342

THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHT DOES NOT WORK. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM THEY SAW FREQUENTLY, TO JUST HIT THE LIGHT AND IT MIGHT START WORKING. OTHERWISE IT WAS A 800 DOLLAR LIGHT TO REPLACE....IF IT IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM GMC SHOULD BE FIXING IT... ARE THEY GOING TO PAY FOR A TICKET IF I GET PULLED OVER OR WORSE SOMEONE CRASHES INTO ME? THE PROBLEM COMES AND GOES BUT HAS SEEMED TO GET WORSE AND IS NOT SAFE OR LEGAL TO DRIVE WITH THE LIGHT HOW IT IS. BAD DESIGN OF THE LIGHT. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THERE A WHOLE FORUMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.
