What 839 owners told NHTSA about the 2015 GMC Yukon Xl 1500

MY VEHICLE IS A 2015 YUKON XL. IN 2018 I HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE LED LIGHTS AND MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE LIGHT FOR A COST OVER $2,000. I LITERALLY HAD TO CANCEL A FAMILY VACATION IN ORDER TO PAY FOR THE LIGHTS ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITHOUT WORKING BRAKE LIGHTS. THIS YEAR, JUNE 2019, I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE BREAK LIGHT AT A COST CLOSE TO $1,000.

DRIVERS SIDE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY DOES NOT WORK. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE IT JUST QUIT WORKING.

NHTSA ODI 11219074

THE HEADLIGHTS HOUSINGS HAVE CONDENSATION IN THEM AND IT HAS CAUSE THE TURN SIGNAL AND LED LIGHTS TO SHORT OUT. THE LED LIGHTS IN THE TAIL LIGHT HOUSING INCLUDING THE BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE ALSO SHORTED OUT. THE LED SCREEN AND COMPUTER IN THE CENTER CONSOLE HAS ALSO SHORTED OUT.

NHTSA ODI 11218668

TAIL LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY WORK. THERE IS NO WAY TO REPLACE A BULB, AND GMC HAS A REPLACEMENT THAT FIXES THE PROBLEM, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED TO FIX THE ISSUE.

NHTSA ODI 11218264

REAR TAILLIGHT RANDOMLY GOING ON AND OFF. INTERIOR LIGHT RANDOMLY FLICKER, THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM OFTEN ACTIVATES, VEHICLE DASH SYSTEMS RANDOMLY RESET AND MOST RECENTLY VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND CAR TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND IN A SCHOOL ZONE!!!!! THIS COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC AND WAS VERY SCARY!!!!

NHTSA ODI 11218199

THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS WORK PERIODICALLY. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED THE LEFT SIDE AND NOW THE RIGHT SIDE HAS WENT OUT. COST IS $750 TO REPLACE. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING TO WAIT ON A TAIL LIGHT BECAUSE THEY ARE BACKORDERED DUE TO SO MANY OTHERS HAVING SAME PROBLEM (ACCORDING TO DEALER). IT WILL WORK PERIODICALLY AT FIRST BUT IF THIS IS LIKE THE PREVIOUS, IT WILL EVENTUALLY QUIT WORKING ALL TOGETHER. SOMETIME THE BOTTOM HALF IS LIT BUT NOT THE WHOLE LAMP. DEALER COULDN'T TELL ME IF THEY HAD FIXED THE PROBLEM OR IF I WILL BE GETTING ANOTHER FAULTY PART.

MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT RANDOMLY WORKS. NO RHYME NOR REASON. WE NOTICED THIS AFTER BCM WAS REPLACED.

NHTSA ODI 11217581

MY TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY LED LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT'S A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER CHARGES CLOSE TO $1000 PER LIGHT TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE.

NHTSA ODI 11217429

BOTH LED TAILLIGHTS FAILED WITHIN ONE MONTH ON A TRUCK WITH LESS THAN 25000 MILES.

NHTSA ODI 11217284

DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO IN AND OUT FROM WORKING AND NOT WORKING. THE TAIL LIGHT WOULD DO THIS WHILE IN MOTION, WHILE STATIONARY, IT DID NOT MATTER. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT WE BOUGHT IT FROM SAID WE WOULD NEED TO REPLACE IT. OVER $750. NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. CLEARLY A FAULTY PART, NOT JUST A BULB GOING OUT, BUT THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL DESIGN OF THE THE TAIL LIGHT IS FLAWED. GM CHARGES YOU TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HOUSING WITH THE SAME EXACT FAULTY PART THAT WAS ON THERE BEFORE.

NHTSA ODI 11210264

FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS I HAD BEEN GETTING REPORTS THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LIGHT WASN'T WORKING- WHEN WE CHECKED IT IT WAS... FINALLY SOMEONE TOLD ME IT GOES ON AND OFF. MY YUKON WAS GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE POWER STEERING RECALL AND I ASKED THEM TO CHECK. THEY REPLACED THE WHOLE LIGHT AT $800!!! A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11209362

THIS IS THE SECOND TAILLIGHT TO FAIL. THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED AT 35,500 MILES IN OCTOBER 2018. THE DRIVER SIDE HAS NOW FAILED AT 39,000 MILES AND 4 MONTHS LATER. THESE PARTS COST $800 EACH TO REPLACE. A MAJOR REPAIR COST ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY THIS MUCH MILEAGE. A DESIGN PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY EXISTS AND THIS PROBLEM IS A SAFETY HAZARD!!! JUST WAITING FOR A CRASH TO HAPPEN TO START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE.

NHTSA ODI 11208924

BOTH LED TAIL LIGHT FIXTURES WENT OUT AT ONCE, BOTH NON FUNCTIONING. HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH FIXTURES COSTING OVER $1400 FROM A GM DEALERSHIP.

NHTSA ODI 11209105

FAULTY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS. THE RIGHT LED MODULE FAILED, AND WAS REPLACED. THEN THE LEFT LED MODULE FAILED ABOUT A YEAR LATER. NOW THE REPLACED RIGHT LED MODULE HAS FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME! EACH REPAIR IS APPROX $650.00 FOR A 'DO IT MYSELF' REPAIR. THESE LED MODULES SHOULD LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT FAIL. WIDELY NOTED AS BEING A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. GM SHOULD REDESIGN AND MAKE GOOD ON REPAIRS BEYOND THE STANDARD WARRANTY FOR THOSE OF US THAT ARE OUT OF POCKET.

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LIGHT STOPPED WORKING

NHTSA ODI 11208226

TAIL LED LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING THEN START WORKING PARTIALLY THEN BACK TO NOT WORKING, WENT TO HAVE THEM REPLACED AND IT COST $1500.00 AND THEN 6 MONTHS LATER BACK TO PARTIAL WORKING TAIL LED LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHT THEN A SMALL STRIP OF THEM WORKING THEN NOTHING AT ALL THEN BACK TO WORKING THEN BACK TO NO LIGHT PERMANENTLY AGAIN!!

NHTSA ODI 11208327

I PURCHASED MY 2015 YUKON IN 8/2016 AND IN THE BEGINNING OF 2017 THE TAIL LIGHT ON THE RIGHT SIDE BURNT OUT THE BRAKE LIGHT DID NOT WORK DURING THE DAY BUT AT NIGHT IT WOULD WORK . I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE LED LAMP HAD GONE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE . I CAME FIND OUT THIS LAMP IS ALL ONE PART AND THE COST FOR A SUPPOSEDLY IS OVER $600 JUST THE LAMP . SO I HAD TO BUY THE LAMP AND REPLACED IT MYSELF BUT THEY ASKED ME FOR THE CORE . SO THIS WAS IN 2917 AND NOW TWO YEARS LATER THE SAME LIGHT THAT BROUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2017 IS OUT AGAIN AND I'M HAVING TO SPEND ANOTHER 600 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. I FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO HELP THE CONSUMER BECAUSE GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THIS AND HOW IT AFFECTS THE VONSUR . CAN SOMETHING BE DONE ?

NHTSA ODI 11208372

THE MOST DISTURBING CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT I LOST MY BRAKES AS A RESULT OF A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM HAS EVEN RECOGNIZED RELATING TO A FAULTY VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP. I INCURRED A $500 REPAIR BILL DESPITE GM'S ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR CARS WITH LESS THAN 70000 MILES. UNFORTUNATELY, MINE WAS OVER THE ALLOWABLE MILEAGE. ADDITIONALLY, I AM LOOKING AT A $1500 REPAIR BILL FOR A SEALED HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT AND ANOTHER $300 BILL FOR A SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM ( LANE DEPARTURE WARNING). GM MADE A POOR CAR THAT IS UNSAFE AND IS NOT PROPERLY ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM.

NHTSA ODI 11208132

PASSENGER BREAK LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WORKS. TOOK TO GMC THEY SAID THERE IS NO KNOWN ISSUE WHICH IS A LIE! HUNDREDS OF OWNERS ONLINE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THEY SAID THEY CAN'T NAIL DOWN THE ISSUE SINCE THERE'S CLEARLY POWER THERE. THEY WANT ME TO BUY A WHILE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY! ABOUT 900 DOLLARS FOR THE SAME FAULTY PART!

NHTSA ODI 11207659

BOTH TAIL LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED BY OTHER DRIVERS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO TELL ME THAT ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHTS WAS NOT WORKING. BOTH LIGHTS ARE EFFECTED, BUT NOT USUALLY AT THE SAME TIME, SO I AT LEAST HAVE ONE WORKING LIGHT AT A TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP USED CAR LOT ON 01/23/2019 WHETHER I AM SITTING STILL OR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WHEN THE LIGHT GOES OFF, YOU CAN HIT THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH YOUR HAND AND IT WILL MOMENTARILY COME BACK ON.

NHTSA ODI 11207595

BOTH BACK BRAKE LIGHT WORK INCONSISTANTLY. WHILE MOVING AND AT A COMPLETE STOP. LOCAL DEALERSHIP CHARGES AT MIN 1200 PER LIGHT TO FIX. SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DENALI'S.

NHTSA ODI 11207084

OUR 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI HAS HAD THE REAR TAIL LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOP WORKING FOR SOME TIME NOW. WE EVEN GOT PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE AND WERE ISSUED A FIX IT TICKET!

NHTSA ODI 11206647

TAIL LIGHT LIGHTING STRIP SPONTANEOUSLY MALFUNCTIONED AND STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE HAS NO LIGHT AND NO BRAKE LIGHTING WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AUTO ACCIDENT. WITHIN A MONTH THE HEADLIGHT HAS BURNED OUT RESULTING IN A BLINKER MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE WAS ON HIGHWAY WHEN BOTH LIGHTS MALFUNCTIONED

NHTSA ODI 11206794

THE CIRCUIT BOARDS ON MY BRAKE LIGHTS ARE OUT. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN MOISTURE GETS IN THEM OR WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD THEY STOP WORKING. SOMETIMES THEY WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T. THIS HAPPENS DAILY...WHEN THEY VEHICLE STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY.

NHTSA ODI 11206502

REAR TAIL LIGHT IS NO LONGER WORKING. LIGHTS ARE LED, SO THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
