Right rear led taillight is intermittently not working. Not sure why it works at times, and not at other times, but when the taillight is not working neither is that brake light. This started about August 1, 2020.
Driver side tail light went out, when you pull the light out it starts to work, replace the light back into the car and it dies again. This seem to be a issues with a lot of people. Its very costly to have to keep replacing led tail lights!
My passenger side taillight works sometimes, and other times it does not. I took it in to be checked out to find out a replacement is $800 as the taillight needs to completely be replaced not just a bulb. I have seen several vehicles like mine with the same issue and have also read many others experiencing the same issues. This has also been stated at dealership this is a known problem, but no recall. How can this not be a recall issue. This is a safety issue and needs to be fixed by GM.
My left driver's side brake light would work and then not work and I had multiple people telling me my left brake light was out. Then other days I was told it was working again. Now it is not working at all.
Both rear tail lights are out. The replacement for these are over $800 and GM has know about this for years. Please help, as I cannot get my car inspected with the lights being out.
Defective led tail lights do not work all the time. Huge safety issue from a 50,000$+ SUV. GM will not cover repair if you go over a certain amount of miles. Multiple people have the same issue with these Yukon's. taillights are about 1200 each to fix ridiculous.
Passenger side tail light is out and could potentially be hazardous when operating vehicle. This is a huge safety concern and a law that every motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least two working tail lamps. GM has manufactured inadequate and faulty parts that one do not comply with the law that vehicles should be equipped with at least 2 working tail lamp and could cause serious harm to the customers whose vehicles are equipped with the defective parts. Many customers have reported concern but GM has failed to find resolution for the safety of their customers. The product has not been recalled and will only be replaced by GM under special coverage which has expired in most 2015-2016 vehicles. Defective parts need to be re-called for the 2015-2016 Yukon vehicles and replaced by products that are safer and non hazardous to customers before someone is seriously injured.
Both of my led tail lamp assemblies have failed over the pas year. GMC has replaced that oem with new parts and has md the old parts. Generally, if a break light fails you can replace the bulb for around $5 but when these assemblies fail it costs the owner around $700 to replace. Driving around without brake lights is a traffic violation. A car can not pass safety inspection without brake lights so the owner is forced to pay the money for the replacement part from which GMC profits.. why is this not a safety recall" GMC knows it is a manufacturing defect that can possibly cause a serious accident as a result.what is the NHTSA stand on this"
The contact owns a 2016 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the rear taillamps failed without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where one set of taillamp and brake light bulbs were replaced. The contact also stated that the second set was also replaced within two weeks. The contact called wiesner Buick GMC located at (1645 interstate 45 N, conroe, tx 77304) and notified the dealer of the failure. The dealer informed the contact that they were aware of similar failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
The brake light is out. All other lights are working, but the brake light. It just stopped working. I have been told this is a normal thing for the GMC. I can not just change a bulb, they said I had to replace the entire light kit for a $850.
The contact owns a 2016 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the contact was informed by a police officer that the passenger's side rear taillamp was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to edwards motors located at (1825 veterans pkwy S, moultrie, ga 31788), where it was determined that the passenger's side rear taillamp assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 73,200.
Both head lamps have moisture and it is hard to see the road. I have extended warranty and it will not cover lenses. No warranty will. Eventually the moisture will hard the led and hid components and they will not work at all causing a hazard to my family and others. My car has 37000 miles on it and is garage kept. These lamps are over $2000 to replace.
Brake lights stopped working almost was plowed into by 18 wheeler on I-75. Driver waved us over and informed us that he did not see us till right on top of us. Problem appears to be systemic enough that the GMC service department told us that it was common enough that they kept the brake lights in stock. Additionally there are numerous threads about this issue on the internet and even utube videos on where to remove material to access the offending circuit board to repair the known faulty circuit. The failure of these brake lights could have cost my family and me our lives. The dealership wanted to charge 1600$ to replace the brake lights. I reiterate the brake light failure is common enough that there are numerous threads on the internet to discuss the known weakness of the circuit board
Brake and taillight are going on and off intermittently. I can hit the side of the taillight and it will blink on and off sometimes. Looked up online and found it is a well known issue that GMC will not fix. This is a safety hazard.
