Both LED tail light fixtures went out at once, both non functioning. Have to replace both fixtures costing over $1400 from a gm dealership.
2015 GMC Yukon electrical complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 79, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Tl* 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
Rear tail lamp at brake light work intermittently. It is known that the circuitry connecting the leds break.
Rear tail lights cut in and out. Work on and off and have faulty parts.
Tl* 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 the federal safety agency 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
Headlights and brake lights quit working
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 2493.00 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.
Had right brake light replaced in warranty. The left rear is now out. This is a driving safety issue fm should be responsible for
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
The right rear brake light and running light has gone out. Appears to be a common problem. You can't replace the bulb like older cars. You need to replace the whole brake assembly for $700!!! Gm knows about the common issue but is not covering it.
When using steering to turn around, turn into a parking space or back in, 'parking assist off' show up on the instrument panel, then the steering wheels locks and the car turns off while still engaged in drive. Sometimes 'brake assist' comes on first. Extremely dangerous. When this happens, unable to turn steering wheel. Car shuts down and doors lock. I have to put it in park and restart the car. Sometimes it does it more than once after restarting the car. I have taken it to a gmc dealer for evaluation and repair. Has happened at least 6 different times. When driving, I am always afraid to make sharp turns. However, it has only happened at slow speeds when trying to turn in to a driveway or turn around such as in a parking lot. *dt consumer stated after taking my car to gmc dealer and being told my vehicle needed a sortware update, my car went a few weeks without an episode until this evening at 7:52pm eastern time, while backing in to my driveway. The steering wheel kicked in place and the vehicle turned off and doors locked, leaving me out in the street, unable to control my car for seconds. Updated 10/18/18*jb updated 10/26/18
Brake lights tail lights quit working
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc yukon. While driving 65 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, but the brake lights, tail lights, and the interior rear brake light flickered. The vehicle was taken to delano chevrolet buick gmc (600 1st ave, delano, ca 93215, 661‑735‑4974) to be diagnosed and repaired. The diagnosis results were unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
Rear tail light not working
Tail light LED stopped working. Connection failed
Tail light has been flickering for months and now is out. Gmc will not fix because I am 4 months out of warranty. I only have 18,000 miles on my yukon.
Both brake lights failed within weeks of each other - around 60k miles. Faulty LED circuit boards. Light assemblies are not repairable by dealership. New assembly over $500 each. Gm takes no responsibility in resolving the issue. Unacceptable! No more gms for my family! .. And that includes chevy.
I was driving down the road and someone clearly (due to the loud screeching of the tires) almost rear ended me. Thankfully they were able to stop just before hitting my vehicle. He caught me at a stop light and informed me that both of my brake lights were out unbeknownst to me. I have since taken the vehicle to the dealership, but there is an issue with the brake light system/parts for this vehicle. The brake light will work sporadically (without any knowledge of an issue). The manufacturer had to have known there was an issue with this part due to the owner's manual even stating "contact gmc dealership" without giving any troubleshooting advise on the light. The part is ~$650 to replace, both of my brake/tail lights have gone out within a 3 week period of each other and the dealership didn't seem surprised at all of this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the vent control function suddenly failed to work, which prevented the air conditioning and heat from working. The dealer (sunrise buick gmc chevrolet at collierville, 4605 s houston levee rd, collierville, tn 38017, (888) 484-2878) inspected the vehicle and stated that the condenser failed and the part was on a national backorder. The dealer stated that the condenser was engineered incorrectly and shook and rattled, which caused a crack that split the condenser. The contact stated that the manufacturer only provided a warranty extension from 36,000 to 60,000 miles, but had not issued a recall to provide a remedy. The contact corresponded with the manufacturer by email and phone and was informed that they would provide a follow-up response. The contact had been waiting for a response for months. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
