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

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WAS WORKING AND NOW AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK SINCE APRIL THE RUNNING LIGHT HAS GONE OUT COMPLETELY. IT WAS ALREADY HARD SEEING THE ROAD AHEAD WITH THE LIGHTS WORKING BECAUSE ALL OF THEM ARE SO DIM BUT NOW IT IS EVEN WORSE. THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT HAS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF MOISTURE INSIDE THE SO CALLED SEALED ASSEMBLY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT WILL COST ME $1200 PLUS DOLLARS FOR THE LIGHT AND LABOR THIS IS REALLY RIDICULOUS. I HAVE READ ON MANY DIFFERENT GMC FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN ALL AROUND STATE TO STATE PROBLEM THAT I THINK GMC SHOULD ADDRESS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE COST BUT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUES THAT THIS POSES. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

FUEL SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED. EXTENDED CRANK AFTER (OVERNIGHT) ENGINE OFF PARK. FUEL PUDDLE NOTICED UNDER PARKED VEHICLE ON GARAGE FLOOR AND DRIVEWAY AFTER OVERNIGHT PARKING. SMELL AND FUEL LEAK SEEMED WORSE WITH A FULL TANK. ALSO NOTICED MORE FREQUENT AUTO SHUT OFF AT FUEL STATION DURING AUTOMATIC FILLING. DEALER DROPPED TANK AND FOUND A FUEL LINE THAT WAS 'RUBBED' THROUGH TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I WILL DOCUMENT WITH PICTURES UPON MY RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP IF NEEDED FOR FUTURE. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT ON A ($70K) 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE THERE IS A FUEL LEAK THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED WITH A 10 CENT PIECE OF INSULATION TO PROTECT THE LINES FROM RUBBING. SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE CHOOSE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY DURING VALIDATION TESTING! TOTAL BS.

STEERING WHEEL POPS WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL. 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE. GMC ISSUES TSB TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WILL NOT COVER THE COST FOR THE REPAIR. IT'S A DEFECT IN THE STEERING COLUMN AND A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED FOR FREE

NHTSA ODI 11042217

MY VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHEN TRAVELING 40MPH AND ABOVE WITH A REAR WINDOW DOWN. THE VIBRATION IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASED CABIN PRESSURE. THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSING HEADACHES, NAUSEA, AND DIZZINESS. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMS ISSUE AND TRIED TO REPAIR, BUT UNABLE TO. THE VIBRATION STARTED RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015 AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES UNFIXED TO THIS DAY AFTER 5 VISITS.

2015 GMC YUKON - REPLACED THE BAD CONDENSER! VERY COSTLY, PART WAS ON BACKORDER FOR 2 MONTHS SO OBVIOUSLY THERE ARE A LARGE AMOUNT OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THIS IS CONSIDERED SAFETY ISSUES DUE TO THE HEAT IN THE SOUTH AND WE PAID $65,000 FOR A VEHICLE WHICH 2 YEARS LATER NOW HAS A BAD CONDENSER - AN ADDITIONAL $1,000. I'M DONE WITH GMC. I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE BEEN TREATED POORLY AND THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY. YOU ARE A BILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP PEOPLE COMING BACK YOU MAKE IT RIGHT WITH YOUR CUSTOMERS. I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR MY ENTIRE BILL I'M ABOUT TO PAY. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED, I HAVE ALWAYS ALWAYS BEEN A GMC/CHEVROLET PERSON BUT THIS HAS TRULY MADE ME SICK TO KNOW THAT MY FAMILY FORKED OUT $1,000 FOR YOUR MISTAKE! COME ON IT'S A $65,000 VEHICLE...VERY VERY VERY ANGRY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME REGARDING OUR BILL AND HOW YOU WILL ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT.

AC QUIT WORKING & DEALER SAID IT'S A BAD CONDENSER, WHICH PART IS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO NATIONAL BACK ORDER. CAN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY CAN GET PART TO FIX. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT ON GM BEHALF & THEY'RE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT. NOT EVEN A RECALL!

I HAVE A 2015 GMC YUKON WITH CONDENSATION IN THE RIGHT AND LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. MY TURN INDICATOR STOPPED WORKING WHICH USUALLY INDICATES A BURNED OUT BULB. I DID NOT NOTICE THE CONDENSATION AND I TOOK MY YUKON TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GOING TO BE A SIMPLE BULB REPLACEMENT. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE COMPLETELY SEALED WHICH REQUIRES THE REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPLETE LAMP ASSEMBLY IF A BULB FILAMENT BURNS OUT. THE DEALERSHIP POINTED OUT THE CONDENSATION AND TOLD ME THE BULB MALFUNCTION IS LIKELY CAUSED BY THE CONDENSATION. SINCE MY VISIT TO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY, THE TURN INDICATOR HAS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. A CALL BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE UPDATE AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THE CONDENSATION LIKELY CAUSED CORROSION AND STILL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ADVISED ME THE OTHER HEADLIGHT AND SIGNAL INDICATOR WERE LIKELY TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL. IT IS OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE GM ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AROUND MAY 2014 AND UPDATED IT IN MARCH 2016 TO INCLUDE 2016 AND 2017 MODELS. THE CONDENSATION COVERS THE ENTIRE LENS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE AT NIGHT WHEN USING THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS NON SERVICEABLE - ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED FOR NON-WORKING BULB AT A HUGE COST $1200/SIDE). GMS TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NOTES THAT IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE NOTED (SUCH AS IN MY CASE), THE REPLACEMENT OF THE LAMP ASSEMBLY MAY NOT CORRECT THIS CONDITION.

THE EXTERIOR DOORS ON THE DRIVER SIDE MADE NOISE WHILE IN MOTION AND WE DISCOVERED THE DOOR JAMS HAD BECOME LOOSE OR DETACHED IN SPOTS. THIS IS BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS OF A 4-DOOR VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEIR INVOICE IS QUOTED AS FOLLOWS "INSTALL LEFT FR APPLIQUE. REPLACED THE LEFT FRONT AND LEFT REAR APPLIQUE". THE TOTAL COST WAS $164.23. I AM FURIOUS THIS WASN'T UNDER WARRANTY OR A RECALL. THIS IS A 2 YEAR OLD $60,000 VEHICLE AND I'M UPSET WE HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC WHO NOTED AND RECOMMENDED I CONTACT NHTA, WHICH IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS COMPLAINT. THE DEALER TOLD US THEY HAVE REPLACE MANY OF THESE AND IT'S NOT A RECALL ITEM, BUT IT SHOULD BE. THUS, PLEASE NOTE AND INVESTIGATE THIS FURTHER FOR POSSIBLE RECALL AND REIMBURSEMENT. THANK YOU.

MY A/C STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR A FEW WEEKS AGO. I TOOK IT IN TO MY GMC SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS THE CONDENSER THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, HOWEVER THAT PART IS ON BACK ORDER INDEFINITELY. I HAVE SINCE SPOKE WITH SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH VEHICLES LIKE MINE WHO HAVE ALSO HAD THIS SAME RESULT WITH THEIR A/C CONDENSER. I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER REVIEWED AS AN OFFICIAL RECALL.

AC IS NOT WORKING. ONLY HOT AIR BLOWS OUT. DEALER IS TELLING US THAT THE COMPRESSOR IS OUT AND IS COMMONLY OUT FOR GM PRODUCTS FROM THIS YEAR. THE PART IS BACK ORDERED WITH NO DATE AVAILABLE THAT IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. APPARENTLY IT IS BEING REDESIGNED. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT MAY BE MONTHS. SUMMER HEAT IS COMING AS EARLY AS THIS WEEK. WITH 4 CHILDREN, I FIND IT UNSAFE TO HAVE SUCH A HOT CAR. 17 PEOPLE AT OUR DEALER ALONE ARE WAITING FOR THE SAME PART. PLEASE GET GM TO FIX THE ISSUE.
