SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE ALERT APPEARS ON MY DASH

NHTSA ODI 11221122

THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE GONE COMPLETELY OUT. THESE ARE ONE SOLID HOUSING AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO SIMPLY FIX THE BRAKE LIGHT. REVERSE AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE OK. THE HOUSINGS COST 600-700 DOLLARS EACH TO REPLACE WHICH IS A LUDICROUS AMOUNT TO HAVE TO SPEND. IN ORDER TO BE WITHIN REGULATIONS FOR INSPECTION, THESE HAVE TO BE WORKING. WE FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THESE HOUSINGS.

A FEW MONTHS AGO THE DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHT STOPPED WORKING (OR WOULD ONLY WORK INTERMITTENTLY). TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS $850 TO REPAIR. FILED COMPLAINT WITH GMC AND AS I WAS WORKING THROUGH THAT WITH THEM THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. NOW I HAVE A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD WITHOUT WORKING TAILLIGHTS. THIS IS TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. A $65,000 'PROFESSIONAL GRADE' VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE AT 55,000 MILES. GMC NEEDS TO WAKE UP AND RECALL THESE. WILL IT TAKE A FATAL ACCIDENT TO SPUR A RECALL??

MY AC STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. THE AIR COMPRESSOR WAS CHANGED TWICE. AFTER CHANGING IT THE LAST TIME I STARTED GETTING THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT ON AND Y STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. NO POWER STEERING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SEEMS TO BE COME TYPE OF WIRING PROBLEM.

ANOTHER MESS WITH MY 2016 YUKON SLE. THE A/C CONDENSER WENT OUT AT JUST OVER 60K MILES -- $1600 TOTAL IN REPAIR COST. APPARENTLY THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND GM HAS ISSUED SPECIAL REFUNDS FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM IN PRIOR YEARS 2015 AND BEFORE -- BUT HAS NOT YET DONE SO WITH THE 2016 YEAR EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME PART AND ISSUE. I AM PAYING TO GET THIS FIXED TODAY AND COUNTING ON THE SPECIAL REFUND IF NOT A RECALL.

REAR BRAKE LIGHT LED STRIP IS OUT. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 37K MILES ON IT. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT REPAIR IT BUT WANTS TO SELL A NEW BRAKE ASSEMBLY FOR $750 EACH. IF YOU TAP ON THE LIGHT ASSEMBLY, IT COMES ON MOMENTARY AND GOES OUT AGAIN. BRAKE LIGHTS ON BOTH SIDE OF VEHICLE CONTINUE TO FLASH RAPIDLY, THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE O OFELECTRICAL PROBLEM TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE,

NHTSA ODI 11218428

THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE/RAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING AND VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27,800 MILES ON IT. HAVE SEEN AND HEARD OF MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. LED LIGHTS SHOULD LAST LONGER THEN INCANDESCENT LIGHTS.

NHTSA ODI 11218546

REAR RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT WENT OUT DUE TO KNOWN DEFECT. METAL PIECE BROKE THAT ALLOWS A CONNECTION BETWEEN THE LED LIGHTS. GMC SHOULD RECALL THESE LIGHTS SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING SAFETY ISSUES WITH THEM.

THE BRAKE LIGHTS IN THE 2016 GMC YUKON VEHICLE FAILED. THE DESIGN REQUIRES A WHOLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER QUOTED $750 PER LIGHT. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD AND CAUSED BY FAULTY LIGHT ASSEMBLY.

NHTSA ODI 11210137

I HAVE 3 YEAR OLD GMC YUKON XL AND THE CONDENSER HAS GONE OUT ON IT. THIS IS ABOUT A $1,600 REPAIR DUE TO GMC'S POOR DESIGN OF THE LOCATION OF THE CONDENSER. THE LABOR ALONE IS ABOUT 8 HOURS TO REPLACE AND I FIND THIS VERY WRONG OF GMC TO DO TO CUSTOMERS OF SUCH AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE.

NHTSA ODI 11209792

2016 GMC YUKON HAS ONLY 40K MILES, YET BRAKE LIGHTS ON REAR DRIVER SIDE ARE OUT. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE RE:SAME ISSUE; COST TO REPAIR IS $650-$800. THIS SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE WITH THIS AGE OF THE VEHICLE. CONCERN IS THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL GO OUT NEXT AND COST ANOTHER $650-$800.

NHTSA ODI 11209231

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING CONSISTENTLY. THE TURN LIGHT AND REVERSE LIGHT WORK BUT NOT THE BREAK LIGHTS. THEY ARE THEIR OWN ASSEMBLY AND HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $650/EACH AT THE DEALERSHIP. ONLINE I FOUND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME ISSUE.

MY CAR IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 24,000 MILES ON IT BECAUSE I WORK FROM HOME. I SPECIFICALLY LEASE CARS SO I DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH ISSUES. THIS CARS REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT NO LONGER WORKS! THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE GMC DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY HAVE TO REPLACE A GREAT DEAL OF THESE IN CARS NOT VERY OLD LIKE MINE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE FOR BRAKE LIGHTS TO BE GOING OUT ON A 3 YEAR OLD CAR! IT HAS BEEN OUT FOR MONTHS AND I WAS JUST PROCRASTINATING BECAUSE YOU MUST GO TO A DEALERSHIP SHOP TO GET IT REPLACED. YOU CANNOT GET IT AT A PART STORE YOURSELF SO MY CAR PROBABLY ONLY HAD 20,000-21,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS STARTED.

NHTSA ODI 11207591

WHEN IN TRAFFIC AT SLOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN AND TAKES MY BODY WEIGHT TO STOP CAR. HAD CHECKED AND NO VISIBLE LEAK. NOW GMC HAS A FIX BUT CHARGE TO FIX IF OVER WARRANTY MILEAGE. SECOND ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION WENT AT 96,000 MILES WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING LOOSING ALL TOP END GEARS AT 65 MPH. GMC DID NOTHING BUT DEALER HELPED ON THO AS WELL

NHTSA ODI 11207182

RIGHT LED BRAKE LIGHT HAS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THROUGH ONLINE SEARCH ENGINE, I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN INCREASINGLY FRQUENT PROBLEM THAT GMC HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS.

AIR CONDITIONING BLOWING HOT AIR

REAR TAIL LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING A RISK OF BEING REAR ENDED. THROUGH RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MANY VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL. GMC ALSO CHARGES AN OUTRAGEOUS PRICE FOR THE REPLACEMENT AT $1000 FROM THE DEALER.
