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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION ON MY GMC YUKON DENALI HAS A SLIPPAGE ISSUE THAT HAS PERSISTED IN OUR VEHICLE FOR A WHILE UNRESOLVED. GM HAS REPLACED TORQUE CONVERTER, MODULE AND NOW THEY ARE CLAIMING THROUGH DEALER THAT THE ISSUE RESIDES WITH AT FLUID. THIS SLIPPAGE IS BAD BECAUSE CAR JERKS AND SOMETIMES HARD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM AS THEY KNOW THEY HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS 8 SPEED AT. THE ISSUE HAPPENS AT STOPS AND AT SLOW SPEEDS.

NHTSA ODI 11194224

BRAKES ARE UNRESPONSIVE AND STUFF BRAKE PEDALS AT LOW SPEEDS. WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKES WILL NOT ENGAGE AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING STOP AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT RESPOND UNLESS I STOMPED ON THEM GOING LESS THAN 5MPH. IT HAPPENS OFTEN WITH THE SAME SCENARIO. DRIVING AT A VERY LOW RATE OF SPEED AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED.

NHTSA ODI 11193911

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 11191920

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

NHTSA ODI 11192871

DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHTS ARE BROKEN. PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHTS ARE FAILING NOW. NEITHER TAILLIGHTS NOR BREAK LIGHTS ARE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE TAIL LIGHTS ARE STARTING TO FAIL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE
