Tail/brake lights failed causing a safety concern. Took vehicle in to gmc dealer for repair. Left tail light (actually the entire printed circuit board) was replaced, right is on back order. Vehicle out of factory warranty and even though we had an extended bumper to bumper warranty, the work was not covered. This is a frequent issue, I have discovered on line, according to many owners of gmc suvs and trucks between the 2015 and 2018 models. Cost of repair including both tail lights is 1617.05. Gmc supported me by covering 600.00 of the cost so I paid 1017.05 out of pocket for 2 tail lights that should not have failed. I have only 24554 miles on the vehicle and have never had an accident. Additional to that, the 2 front seat belts are fraying which may lead to weakness eventually causing a safety issue. I want gmc to cover all costs related to repair of these two problems. There should be a recall regarding both. Seat belt problem has been on going for months and the tail light thing just happened on monday, june 17, 2019.
2015 GMC Yukon lights complaints
Page 6 of 10: complaints 131 to 160 of 269, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The rear brake lights of my vehicle went out in july of 2017 both of them within a week, driver and passenger side. I had the whole light panel replaced under the warranty on each of them and now again my passenger-side brake light has gone out. It came back on momentarily in the morning and then went out again. I have researched the issue and found that many people are having the same problem anda friend of mine currently has one out on her 2017 yukon which she is taking in to get fixed. Speaking with the service advisors at the dealership they informed me that this is a common problem but no recalls have been issued for it. As of today the part is also on backorder and they do not know when they will get the part in. So in the meantime I am without a brake light.
Left rear brake light fixture (LED style) completely failed after 54,000 miles. It's not the leds themselves. Something else in the power supply failed.
Brake lights give out on both sides and are very expensive to repair
Both of the vehicle tail lights have become nonoperational due to a manufacturing defect. Brake lights do not work. The tail lights are a complete assembles and consist of leds.
Vehicle fails to stop properly at low speeds. Brakes become 'hard' and vehicle will roll to a stop. Brake lights appear to have a short and work intermittently.
Drivers side tail light assembly does not work. There was no damage it just quit working.
Tail lights intermittently work. There is no way to replace a bulb, and gmc has a replacement that fixes the problem, but it has not been recalled to fix the issue.
Rear taillight randomly going on and off. Interior light randomly flicker, theft deterrent system often activates, vehicle dash systems randomly reset and most recently vehicle steering wheel locked and car turned off while I was driving with my kids in the car and in a school zone!!!!! This could have been tragic and was very scary!!!!
The rear tail lights work periodically. I've already replaced the left side and now the right side has went out. Cost is $750 to replace. I am currently having to wait on a tail light because they are backordered due to so many others having same problem (according to dealer). It will work periodically at first but if this is like the previous, it will eventually quit working all together. Sometime the bottom half is lit but not the whole lamp. Dealer couldn't tell me if they had fixed the problem or if I will be getting another faulty part.
My rear passenger side tail light randomly works. No rhyme nor reason. We noticed this after bcm was replaced.
My taillight assembly LED lights have gone out. I've read about this issue and it's a common issue with this vehicle and the dealer charges close to $1000 per light to repair this issue.
Both LED taillights failed within one month on a truck with less than 25000 miles.
For the past 6 months I had been getting reports that my passenger side tail light wasn't working- when we checked it it was... Finally someone told me it goes on and off. My yukon was going into the dealership for the power steering recall and I asked them to check. They replaced the whole light at $800!!! A quick internet search shows this is a common problem.
Both LED tail light fixtures went out at once, both non functioning. Have to replace both fixtures costing over $1400 from a gm dealership.
This is the second taillight to fail. The passenger side failed at 35,500 miles in october 2018. The driver side has now failed at 39,000 miles and 4 months later. These parts cost $800 each to replace. A major repair cost on a vehicle with only this much mileage. A design problem obviously exists and this problem is a safety hazard!!! Just waiting for a crash to happen to start a class action law suite.
Faulty rear brake lights. The right LED module failed, and was replaced. Then the left LED module failed about a year later. Now the replaced right LED module has failed for a second time! Each repair is approx $650.00 for a 'do it myself' repair. These LED modules should last for the life of the vehicle and not fail. Widely noted as being a defective design. Gm should redesign and make good on repairs beyond the standard warranty for those of us that are out of pocket.
I purchased my 2015 yukon in 8/2016 and in the beginning of 2017 the tail light on the right side burnt out the brake light did not work during the day but at night it would work . I took it to the dealership and they told me the LED lamp had gone and needed to be replace . I came find out this lamp is all one part and the cost for a supposedly is over $600 just the lamp . So I had to buy the lamp and replaced it myself but they asked me for the core . So this was in 2917 and now two years later the same light that brought brand new in 2017 is out again and I'm having to spend another 600 to replace it again. I feel something should be done to help the consumer because gm does not care about this and how it affects the vonsur . Can something be done ?
Tail LED lights and brake lights stopped working then start working partially then back to not working, went to have them replaced and it cost $1500.00 and then 6 months later back to partial working tail LED lights and brake light then a small strip of them working then nothing at all then back to working then back to no light permanently again!!
Passenger side brake light stopped working
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.
Passenger break light intermittently works. Took to gmc they said there is no known issue which is a lie! Hundreds of owners online having the same issues. They said they can't nail down the issue since there's clearly power there. They want me to buy a while tail light assembly! About 900 dollars for the same faulty part!
Both tail lights work intermittently. I have been stopped by other drivers on several occasions to tell me that one of my tail lights was not working. Both lights are effected, but not usually at the same time, so I at least have one working light at a time. This has been happening since I purchased the vehicle from the dealership used car lot on 01/23/2019 whether I am sitting still or driving down the road. When the light goes off, you can hit the light assembly with your hand and it will momentarily come back on.
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
Our 2015 gmc yukon denali has had the rear tail lights intermittently stop working for some time now. We even got pulled over by the police and were issued a fix it ticket!
Rear tail light is no longer working. Lights are LED, so the entire tail light needs to be replaced.
The circuit boards on my brake lights are out. I have found that when moisture gets in them or when I hit a bump in the road they stop working. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. This happens daily...when they vehicle stationary, in motion, on a city street or on a highway.
Brake and tail lights go out intermittently while driving. I've been stopped multiple times on road with other drivers telling me. I also have several friends with same model telling me this happened to them.
Shortage in passenger side tail light. Dealership quoted $800 to replace complete light.
The tail lights/ brake lights the cheaply made and have read of hundreds of people with this same issue I'm having that the circuit breaks and they stop working. This is a serious safety issue
