THE FIRST COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE TAII LIGHTS. ONE OF THE RUNNING LIGHTS DOES NOT ILLUMINATE. I FIGURED IT WOULD BE A LAMP. NOPE. $500-$800 TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY! APPARENTLY IT IS SO COMMON THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE ONLINE THAT HAVE BUSINESSES REPAIRING THEM.

NHTSA ODI 11104143

RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS. UNABLE TO REPLACE BULB AND HAVE TO SPEND 775 ON A NEW LIGHT HOUSING SINCE THESE ARE NOT SERVICEABLE LIGHTS

NHTSA ODI 11103590

PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WORKS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. THE TURN SIGNAL STILL FUNCTIONS, BUT THE BRAKE LIGHT ITSELF FAILS. I WAS PULLED OVER MY POLICE FOR A NON-FUNCTIONING TAIL LIGHT. NEW LIGHT ASSEMBLY IS $660 PER LIGHT TO REPLACE AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE VEHICLE BEING IN MOTION OR NOT.

NHTSA ODI 11103592

BRAKE LIGHTS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. OCCASIONALLY EITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT WILL NOT LIGHT UP. NOT REPEATABLE OR CONSISTENT AND DEALER NOTES NO SERVICE BULLETINS OR CODES.

NHTSA ODI 11103354

THE REAR LED BRAKE LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKING. IT APPEARS TO BE A BAD CONNECTION OR FAULTY LIGHT BOARD INSIDE THE HOUSING. WHEN THE TEMPERATURE GETS HOT, THE BRAKE LIGHTS STOP WORKING. IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, WHEN DRIVING OR PARKED. NOT HAVING BREAK LIGHTS ON A VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE IS NOT A WAY TO CHANGE THE BULBS OR BOARD WITHOUT CHANGING THE ENTIRE LIGHT HOUSING. AFTER A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AFFECTING A HUGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE DEARLERAHIPS ARE CASHING IN ON.

THE TAIL LIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES ARE LED LIGHTS. THEY ARE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. ONE SIDE WILL SOMETIMES COME BACK ON IF I BUMP IT WITH MY HAND. MY VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED OCCURRING BUT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1500 TO FIX. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A COMMEN PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 MODEL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY GM THROUGH A RECALL. BECAUSE THE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY, IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SHORT OR DEFECT OF SOME KIND.

NHTSA ODI 11102944

LED CIRCUIT BOARD FAIL. DEALERSHIP WILL FIX FOR OVER $2000 WITH THE OLD FAULTY PARTS INSTEAD OF THE NEW PARTS. HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

NHTSA ODI 11103095

HEADLIGHT HAS WATER CONDENSATION IN IT AND DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A SEALED UNIT SO THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT NEEDS REPLACED AND IF IT HAPPENED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IT'S MOST LIKELY GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE DRIVER SIDE 1 HEADLIGHT COST $1,200 TO REPLACE AND LABOR IF GMC KNOWS THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2015 YUKONS HOW COME SOMETHING IS NOT BEING DONE ABOUT IT BECAUSE $1,200 IS NOT A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY!

NHTSA ODI 11102581

RIGHT REAR TAILLIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT IS AN LED ASSEMBLY, NO BULBS CAN BE REPLACED. ONLY WAY TO REPAIR IS TO REPLACE TOTAL ASSEMBLY AT COST OD WELL OVER $650.00. THIS IS A DESIGN OR PRODUCT FLAW THAT GM IS AWARE OF AND SHOULD BE REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DENY THERE IS A PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11102453

TAIL LIGHT LED STOPPED WORKING. CONNECTION FAILED

NHTSA ODI 11102192

LED TAILLIGHT IS ALREADY OUT - SHOULD LAST FOR 10+ YEARS, CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY, DEALER CHARGES $750 TO REPLACE AND CAN'T GUARANTEE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. DEALER CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE LIGHT IS OUT, SAYS IT JUST HAPPENS

NHTSA ODI 11101771

TAIL LIGHTS INTERMITTEDLY DO NOT WORK. SOMETIMES IT'S THE RIGHT SIDE AND SOMETIMES IT'S THE LEFT SIDE. I'VE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE AS I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING FOR PRICING.

NHTSA ODI 11101776

STEERING WHEEL CREATES A LOCKING/POPPING/CLICKING NOISE WHILE MAKING TURNS. THIS IS CAUSED BY A LOOSENING OF THE BOLT WHICH MAY AFFECT THE WHEEL BEARINGS CREATING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPENS. THE CONDITION OCCURS WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT, FROM 0-35 MPH.

NHTSA ODI 11101793

RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT HAS BEEN WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WHEN THE CAR IS BOTH PARKED AND IN MOTION.

NHTSA ODI 11101640

I HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM...I CAN NOT AFFORD TO FIX IT. BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING, GMC WANTS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY FOR $800. MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED BUT I THINK GMC SHOULD HAVE AWAY TO REPAIR THE LIGHT INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY. A RECALL ON THIS SHADY WAY OF GETTING THE CONSUMER HARD EARNED MONEY. BECAUSE IT SHOULD LAST LONGER. I CAN?T DRIVE MY CAR IN FEAR OF GETTING A TICKET. PLEASE HELP

NHTSA ODI 11101735

THE PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT IS OUT AND THE SMALL LED CANNOT BE INDIVIDUALLY REPLACED BY THE DEALER. GMC ONLY SELLS THE ENTIRE UNIT FOR OVER $850.00. THIS IS A KNOWN WARRANTY ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

NHTSA ODI 11101324

MY TAIL LIGHT WILL QUIT WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT IS COOL, THEY WORK, WHEN IT GETS HOT, THEY QUIT WORKING.

NHTSA ODI 11101394

REAR BLACK LIGHTS FAIL... KNOWN ISSUE... ONLY FIX IS $750... GMC KNOWS IT IS AN ISSUE AND HASN'T DONE A RECALL... MOST CARS YOUR TAIL LIGHT GOES OUT $10 TO FIX... GMC $750
