NHTSA ODI 11206173

BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING. I'VE BEEN STOPPED MULTIPLE TIMES ON ROAD WITH OTHER DRIVERS TELLING ME. I ALSO HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS WITH SAME MODEL TELLING ME THIS HAPPENED TO THEM.

NHTSA ODI 11206260

BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE FAILED

NHTSA ODI 11206084

THE TAIL LIGHTS/ BRAKE LIGHTS THE CHEAPLY MADE AND HAVE READ OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE I'M HAVING THAT THE CIRCUIT BREAKS AND THEY STOP WORKING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE

NHTSA ODI 11206088

BOTH BREAKLIGHTS NO LONGER WORK DUE TO FAULTY ELECTRICAL PANEL.

NHTSA ODI 11205797

THE LED TAIL LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND COST 500 TO REPLACE IT WHICH IS RIDICOULOUS.

NHTSA ODI 11205923

MY PASSENGER TAIL LIGHT HAS STOPPED WORKING. I HAVE 50000 MILES ON MY YUKON AND CAN NOT IMAGINE THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED ALREADY. THE COST TO FIX THE TAIL LIGHT IS RIDICULOUS $1300 FOR ONE LIGHT. I COULD BY A USED CAR FOR THAT PRICE. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DOES IT TAKE FOR A RECALL??

NHTSA ODI 11204973

LED TAILLIGHTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THEY WORK INTERMITTENTLY ON BOTH SIDES. SEE NUMEROUS OTHER YUKON AND YUKON XL'S AROUND TOWN WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. INTERMITTENT BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS IS UNSAFE. FROM RESEARCH I'VE DONE, IT APPEARS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PART. GMC SHOULD TAKE ACTION.

NHTSA ODI 11204982

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

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.

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.

NHTSA ODI 11202954

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

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

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

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

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

NHTSA ODI 11194342

REAR BREAK TAILIGHTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL TIMES. MOST OF THE TIME THEY REQUIRE TAPPING ON THE TAILLIGHT TO GET THEM TO LIGHT THE TAIL LIGHT. NOT A BULB ISSUE AND SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL YUKON'S OF THIS MAKE. VERY FRUSTRATING TO HAVE THEM WORK INCONSISTENTLY . SOMETIMES ONE LIGHT OUT AND SOMETIMES BOTH.

NHTSA ODI 11193641

WITHIN THE LAST YEAR ON MY 2015 MY AC COMPRESSOR HAS GONE OUT, RADIO SCREEN QUIT WORKING, BRAKE PUMP/BOOSTER FAULTY, AND NOW REAR BRAKE LIGHT QUIT WORKING. ALL SEEM TO BE VERY COMMON IN THIS YEAR MODEL. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 70000 MILES ON IT!! GM IS EITHER DOING A CRAPPY JOB ON THEIR $60000 VEHICLES OR A RECALL NEEDS TO BE DONE.

NHTSA ODI 11193726

PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE AND TAIL LED STRIP LIGHT SHORT AND GOES OUT AND STOPS WORKING. WILL WORK SOMETIMES WHEN BACK HATCH SHUTS AND JARS IT OR I HIT A BUMP. DEALERSHIP SAYS LIGHT IT OUT AND NEEDS REPLACING. NOT SURE WHY THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON WHEN JARRED. HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO COVER ALL THIS ESPECIALLY BEING ELECTRICAL. SEEMS TO BE ON GOING PROBLEM
