This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
The contact owns a 2015 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the passenger side tail light failed to illuminate. The vehicle was taking to walker Buick GMC (1616 macarthur dr, alexandria, la 71301 (318) 542-7481) where the contact was informed that pig tail wiring was corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was not a recall on the vehicle. The failure mileage was 55,000.
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
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.
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.
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
All led lights have went out on right side, as well as break lights. This is a know issue to GMC, and yet they will not correct it. My quote to have it fixed was $2493 from local dealership. That is crazy. Led lights should last a whole lot longer than this. Also condensation is in the front headlight with no holes or cracks. If this happens with house windows, they are replaced by the manufacturer. There are so many complaints, I will also be contacting the better business bureau. GMC knows there is a problem with these models.
Wiring to radiator fan caught on fire. I was driving the car when I smelled smoke. When I pulled over smoke was coming from the hood I opened the hood and there was open flames on the fan wiring wiring.
We own a 2015 GMC Yukon with only 51,000 miles on it. The rear taillights are both intermittent. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I recently took the vehicle into the dealership for service and they said replacement of the entire light was the only way to fix the issue. They acknowledged that this is a known issue and that they have serviced many vehicles with the same issue. The service person advised that there is a circuit that over time breaks and the connection becomes loose. When the metal touches and a complete circuit is made, the light will turn on. When it doesn't touch (faulty), the taillight and brake lights will not illuminate. This is a major safety hazard. A simple internet search shows that this issue is very common and GM doesn't appear to be doing anything to address it. Because it involves the brake lights, this is very concerning. Not to mention, that a replacement is $800. I have already spent $800 for one side, now the other side is out as well. I feel that this should be a recall issue since it's an obvious safety issue that is caused by faulty parts. Here is just one of the links that describe this issue in detail: Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T53845_ds768963
My taillight stoped working. When I turn my headlights on it wont turn on or when I apply my brakes. I searched the internet(facebook and fourm sites) and found thousand and thousand of people having the same issues. The brake light/running light is not a light bulb like most cars that you can just replace when it goes out. Its led.so you have to replace the whole entire light assembly and it was over $800. Led are supposed to have a long life before they go out.... this is only a 2015 I mean come on. So I had to drive in the dark and during this rain storm on freeway and regular streets with no brake or running lights which I S extremely dangerous. This is a family vehicle I drive my kids in this car. This cant keep happening. I also read that multiple people said once they bought a new assembly it went out again and stopped working down the road. This is insane.
The vehicle's tail light assembly on both the drivers and passenger's sides are defective. The solder does not hold and the vehicle's brake lights and running lights fail intermittently. The driver is totally unaware of this major issue that the brake lights are not working. In researching this problem on the internet there are numerous customers of GMC's Yukon's and denali's who are experiencing the safety problem. I realized the problem when another motorist almost struck the back of my vehicle because there were not brake lights at all. The vehicle was traveling and both brake lights failed. The signal lights will still work.
The rear taillight works intermittently. I have reported it to the dealership and the only fix is to replace the housing unit at $1500. It has been reported and is a known problem with GMC.
I have had an on-going issue with the steering, electrical and power steering and stability control. I have had repeated issues with the stability control turning off, sudden drop in electrical power, the steering wheel gets violently yanked out of your hands and sometime the car completely cuts off. Fortunately most have been at slow speeds or else the car would have flipped. It is the exact same issue other models have been recalled for but my VIN is not included in that recall. I am afraid of this issue killing me or my loved ones should it happen at speed or leave us stuck in front of on coming traffic. According to my dealer this is an issue the manufacture has know about for a while.
2015 Yukon passenger led tail light has failed. Vehicle is only 3 years old, and in addition to the tail light failure, have had 3 air conditioning system failures to date. I don't know how long the tail light has been inoperable as there was no warning or indicator to notify the driver of a tail light problem. I only discovered this problem while following my wife in another vehicle as she was driving the Yukon. Looking at the complaints lodged on both issues, I'm beginning to seriously question GM's reliability and willingness to stand behind their vehicle and parts. Always thought leds were more reliable, but looking at the number of complaints lodged, my assumptions are apparently wrong. A simple google search on Yukon tail light repair also shows a cottage industry in repairing these led tail lights has popped up, which indicates a significant problem with the design and reliability of these tail lights. If these businesses advertise a lifetime warranty on their repairs, why can't GM make the necessary modifications to their tail lights to improve their reliability. Any reasonable search shows the magnitude of this issue, so why hasn't there been a recall issued for this problem. With no notification to the driver of the vehicle of a tail light issue, this would seem to me to be a significant safety hazard that could result in accidents and or injuries/fatalities from one or both tail light failures. If leds are less reliable than the older incandescent bulbs, then go back to the older style bulbs that a vehicle owner can replace for a few dollars instead of forcing owners to have the dealership replace the tail lights every few years at $600-$750 per instance. Very concerning and unsafe. GM needs to address this issue immediately.
The rear right tail light don't work properly has an intermittent problem sometimes work sometime don't. dealer told me can't be cover under warranty, because was expired. I'm afraid may both tail light stop working and get rear ended. GMC should do something, because is they problems I saw on those SUV
