People kept telling me one of my tail light was out but every time I'd get home my tail light was on! This kept going on for a few weeks until this time I checked and it was off. I went to have my oil changed and mentioned the issue. They didn't see a problem because of course it was back on. About a month later, the same cycle started. My friend noticed that when I went over a bump it would flick back on. We took it to the local gmc dealership that informed me it was a common issue in these vehicles and the cost to replace was about $1,000. According to the dealership the only option was to replace and not fix. I decided to look up an alternative and found out many others were experiencing the same issues with yukons ranging 2-3 years as my vehicle. After having it repaired for a fraction of the cost outside of the dealership a month ago it's back to not working again! Frustrating part is that this is happening to so many others... On youtube alone there are so many videos showing how to repair on own because it's very costly. Recently, I was driving and noticed the person in front of me had the same vehicle and their light was out as well. I guess I'm going to have to replace it.
Taillights, brakelights work inconsistently. Nothing is wrong with the bulbs. It is the assembly and design. It will cost about 1200-2000 dollars. Vehicle barely has 32000 miles on it. This can lead to an accident.
Led brake light on driver side just stopped working. No damage done to the exterior.
Led taillight brake lamp went out. It's defective. Too many people are having the same problem with new vehicles.
Right tail light is out. Cant believe !! Its been only 2 plus years running this vehicle. Under 50k milage!! Need gmc to replace or fix for free.
My vehicle has only 47,000 miles and my passenger side brake light is out. There is also water and moisture that builds up in both taillights. I was told it would be $800 each to replace and was no longer under warranty. I am the original owner and purchased the vehicle new. The vehicle has never been in any accidents. This is a serious issue and needs to be covered by the manufacturer. The LED lights should not go out this quickly.
Brake light work intermittently. Very dangerous when you don't if they are work or not
Both tail lights have ceased to function within 6 months of each other. Gmc states that the original parts were defective, but will not cover repair. Each light costs ~$700 plus labor. This should be a recall issue.
Intermittent tail light/brake light failure.
