2015 GMC Yukon XL lights complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Right tail light does not illuminate. Gmc will not cover this repair even though it is a known issue since my vehicle has over 72,000 miles. This should be covered indefinitely.
Rear brake light does not work. Gm dealership states that this LED brake light was designed to be lifetime. Received letter from gm stating that they are only covering the free replacement thru 72,000 mile. My vehicle has more than 72,000 miles. Cost to repair $800.
The brake and tail lights on this gmc yukon only randomly light up. Have been told random times by other motorist that brake or tail lights are not working on highway. I've contacted gm multiple times on phone and at dealer and they want me to pay out of pocket to fix this safety issue. They finally sent a letter out today noting there aware of this problem but still want fix mine because it's over 72k on yukon. Safety has no mileage limit and gm needs to fix these problems. Google this issue and you will see the internet is full of complaints about gm LED brake and tail lights going bad. Thanks for any help with this matter.
Left (driver side) rear tail light assembly is completely dead. This is the second time in two years. Will be the third assembly on the vehicle in the five years I have owned it.the assembly does not last. All the LED's stop working. There doesn't appear to be any particular reason that the shop can find that it causing it.
Front LED turn signal (which should last for ever) is malfunctioning and despite purchasing an extended warranty this is not covered by the warranty company or gm. Quoted nearly $1,700 to have a turn functioning turn signal again. The whole light assembly needs replaced. This was a $60k+ vehicle!?!?!?!?!?
We purchased a 2015 gmc yukon xl denali in july 2019 from jackie cooper in edmond, ok. In december 2019, we noticed that the brake lights started intermittently going out. Some days they work fine, and then the next day they don't work at all. We've even had people stop us and tell us that the brake lights were "flickering". This is obviously a safety concern, and with the extraordinary cost to replace one of these lights, it's a budgetary concern, as well. Since we started noticing it, we also have heard of other owners of this same model and year that have had the same issue. This certainly seems like a defected product which needs a better solution. Please tell me there is another solution besides spending $1,000-$1,500 to replace something that used to be a simple bulb I could find at a auto parts store.
Driver side tail light stopped working. Brake light.
Owned the car for 2 years, been in the shop three times for the same issue, car jerks going less than 25 MPH and while driving and accelerating. Both tail lights are LED and inoperable. Ac quit working, recharged once and figure it's a leak. Upon reading reviews gmc is aware of faulty parts but no recall on any vehicle.
The rear tail lights do not work. The dealership identified this fault and said that the problem is very common.
Brake lights and tail lights stopped working. The LED lights have stopped working at 4 years old and 50,000 miles. No option to replace individual bulbs, dealer said the entire light fixture has to be replaced at $665 per each side. Major safety feature not working @ brake lights!!!
The tail lights keep going out even after having them replaced at the dealership. I have been stopped by the police and have actually had to show the invoice were I have had the lights.
All LED brake tail lights suddenly failed on right rear of car. Total assembly can not have electronic components/lights replaced and is a sealed unit. Gmc price on assembly is approximately $800. Other owners with similar failures tell me this is due to internal corrosion in supposedly sealed assembly.
Was pulled over by a police officer and told that my passenger side brake light is not working. Blinker and reverse light work, but not the brake light. There have been no impacts and there is not any crack or moisture inside the light housing.
Passenger brake light intermittently went on and off, the tail light assembly was replaced. Less than 6 moths later the driver's side brake light is doing the same things. Both times have been discovered due to police stops with a car that has less than 75,000 miles. This is a safety issue, review the large amount of complaints for this issue.
I have a 2015 yukon denali xl with 53k miles.a couple of months ago one bake/taillight starting flickering. It would work at times and then not at all other times. Last week, both of the bake/taillights went completely out! I have no lights in the rear of my vehicle. I was pulled over twice in one weekend for this!! I was driving down the highway at night with my children in the vehicle not knowing that both of my lights were now not working! It doesn't seem that they are burnt out because it I mess with them from the outside, they will flicker a little bit. Of course factory warranty is expired and new lights are at least $800 a piece!! This needs to be recalled as this is a serious safety issue!
The rear taillights go out unexpectedly and can not just replace bulb
Tail light and brake light assembly is single LED strip that has failed after only 4 years. Safety issue that thanks to gmc costs $800 for a single light.
Both left and right rear tail lights stopped working. They first stopped only intermittently but then completely went out, within only 3-4 years of new. Research shows this problem is extremely common and represents either, at best, a very poor defect in manufacturing or, at worst, a planned-in defect in order to steal money from consumers who already paid handsomely for a vehicle. Since the LED housing is a single sealed unit, dealers state the entire light housing needs to be replaced at an approximate cost of $700 per light. While it's true that lights can 'go out', a continued failure of the same part (research shows the exact same failure point can be found in each circumstance) should represent gross negligence in manufacturing which only a recall notice can satisfy.
Passenger break light works inconsistently
The rear light went out. It cannot be fixed with the change of a bulb. The entire piece has to be replaced because it is an electrical issue. After looking online and talking to others with the same make and model, this is a common issue with this make/model that needs to be addressed and gmc held accountable.
Passenger side LED tail light stopped working. Saw that this problem has been reported on the federal safety agency many times (over 400) but there has never been a recall. To fix the tail light the entire fixture had to be replaced at dealer for a cost of $900 which is ridiculous. This is a definite safety hazard as there was no indicator to tell me that the tail light and brake light were out! Only found out about the problem when a friend was following me home and told me about it. Surprised that there has been neither a voluntary recall by gm or a mandated recall by the federal safety agency. Definitely needs addressing. Also, this problem has been reported on 2015-2017 yukons so there appears to be either a defective part or bad design.
Replaced driver's side rear lights on 9-4-18. Now, 9-10-19 need to replace passenger side rear light. Was stopped on the highway and told light is out.
All the rubber window moldings are curling out under plastic trim both tail lights work intermediately
Brake light and parking light quit working. Went to dealer and they said you have to replace the whole LED light assembly. Would cost $850.00.
Passenger side tail light has been going out intermittently for months. Since the problem began I've been having battery issues and now battery and light are completely dead. Dealer said it would be $800 for light. There was no indicator/sensor that showed the light was out. I found out by another driver who pulled up next to me and told me. Driving around I've seen many vehicles (same model) with the same issue. This is a safety hazard, because unless someone tells us we don't know the light is out and they are prematurely going out. The cost is ridiculous! This is my second gmc and I did not have any problems like this before. This is the car I drive my children around in! It is apparent that it is a manufacturer issue. Gmc needs to do right by its customers, before someone gets hurt!
Led brake lights work sometime and not at all when in the heat of the day. Have had a number of people come to me in parking lots and tell me that the brake lights are not working.
Faulty tail light. Sounds like a common problem on 2015 gmc yukon.
Driver side brake lights only work intermittently. The circuit on the light assembly is going bad.
The driver side tail light stopped working. This is the second time the light has stopped worki gon a vehicle with less than 60 thousand miles
