The brake/tail lights work somedays, and not other days. One day the are both working, one day only one works, and some days neither work. This is a problem that is very prevalent. Just look online. I have personally photographed several of the same issue on this make and model in my hometown. The dealership wants me to pay $1300 to have new lights installed and gmc is in denial of their problem.(the back up/reverse white light works all of the time, its the red brake/tail light that doesn't work) this shows that its an issue that should be recalled, not replaced at the owner's expense.
2015 GMC Yukon XL electrical complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 58 of 58, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My vehicle is a 2015 yukon xl. In 2018 I had to replace my front driver side LED lights and my passenger side rear brake light for a cost over $2,000. I literally had to cancel a family vacation in order to pay for the lights on my vehicle. It is illegal to drive without working brake lights. This year, june 2019, I needed to replace the driver side break light at a cost close to $1,000.
The headlights housings have condensation in them and it has cause the turn signal and LED lights to short out. The LED lights in the tail light housing including the brake lights have also shorted out. The LED screen and computer in the center console has also shorted out.
Driver and passenger side tail lights flickering on and off. Twice I've gotten pulled over for tail lights issues and rear ended because of them.
Driver side tail light would intermittently go in and out from working and not working. The tail light would do this while in motion, while stationary, it did not matter. The local dealership that we bought it from said we would need to replace it. Over $750. Now the passenger side tail light is doing the exact same thing. Huge safety hazard. Clearly a faulty part, not just a bulb going out, but the entire electrical design of the the tail light is flawed. Gm charges you to replace the entire housing with the same exact faulty part that was on there before.
Rear tail lights stop working all of the sudden. Left and right side.
Takata recall driver side brake light stop working while driving in the city streets
Left brake light working intermittently and then went out completely. Right brake light followed immediately after. Dealer wants 1550.00 to replace
We purchased this vehicle on 11.21.18 and the brake lights intermittently don't work. They were working at the time we drove it off the lot. The bulbs were tested by our mechanic and he stated that the gmc yukon of this year are known to have major problems with the brake light housing units on the rear of the vehicle. The electrical board associated with it has issues the mechanic stated. I reviewed many post online and wonder why this isn't a required recall. To me this is a major safety concern and we bought this vehicle to transport my kids and wife. I'd like this to be considered a recall immediately.
My passenger front light cover is acquiring condensation which makes the lights go off and on, and my driver side brake light works only intermittently. My insurance or warranty won't cover anything to fix these light issues. These issues started about may 2018. We weren't in a wreck or sustained any damages that would have LED to these issues. I have talked to two other owners of the same make/model/year vehicle and we all have safety issues that are not being resolved by gm vwarranties. I want to see gm issue recalls and accept complete financial responsibility for repairs. I would also like to see the rear lighting system redesigned so the components are not dependent on each other. My brake light went out and instead of being able to replace a bulb the entire unit has to be replaced at $1700.00 that we just simply do not have.
Both LED brake lights faulty. Replaced rh and new part is also not working intermittently. Lh does not intermittently.
My right rear tail light works on and off for about a year . I have 41,000 miles on my car and now the left tail light goes in and out also so I potentially could have two brake lights out at the same time. I've seen several of the same car is on the road with the same problem gmc denies the problem and charges $800 per tail light to fix it's a huge safety concern and I don't feel like my family is safe and I don't think we should be liable for their faulty light equipment. They won't recognize they are responsible for the issue it's completely unacceptable and a huge safety concern. When looking up the problem online there are hundreds of people who are having the same issue with the same model car.
Multiple complaints have been filled with gmc about their poor brake design on their 2015- 2019 yukons the circuit breaks and the tail light assembly quits working. Yukon says they have not heard of such complaints. And will not recall their poor assembly design.
Vehicle was taken in on november 2017 due to rear tailgate/hatch not opening properly and making noise sometimes. Struts and other components replaced. Vehicle is now out of warranty and rear tailgate module caught on fire inside the vehicle and burned up. Gm customer care case 8-43560624xx was started. Part shows signs of fire, heavy component damage burn marks everywhere and ground planes within the pcb show signs of extreme overheating, inside of the vehicle smells like burnt plastic and the rear tailgate could not be open. Gm is not calling it a fire but it is obvious from the part that there was a flame and a lot of heat. Tried to escalate this passed gm customer care so gm engineers can at least look at it but chris (did not provide last name and/or id number) informed me that there is no more escalation at this point. Was given the typical script "we apologize, blah blah blah, vehicle is out of warranty".gm engineers should look at the pictures and the part to make sure this is not a safety related issue. Pictures attached of the "thermal" event as gm called it as they cannot say it caught on fire.
My tail light will quit working intermittently. When it is cool, they work, when it gets hot, they quit working.
The passenger brake light is out and the small LED cannot be individually replaced by the dealer. Gmc only sells the entire unit for over $850.00. This is a known warranty issue that gm refuses to acknowledge.
The rear taillights will not work sometimes! There's times where there off and gmc is aware of this issue!!
