The LED left turn signal and blind spot detection ( safety feature) on the left outside rear view mirror suddenly stopped working. The is a TSB for warranty for 2016-2018 GM YUKON (#10-08-64-002D) and it states that the bulletin has been revised to include 2016-2018 year models for this defect. I am starting this claim because I am told by GM that my VIN is not covered under this warranty, yet I am experiencing the same issue stated in the TSB listed above.

Electronic stability control (ESC)
- What is wrong
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
- Risk
- Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1‑800‑630‑2438 or GMC customer service at 1‑800‑462‑8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

There's alot of time while I'm driving in line going slowly and break pedal become hard and it will seem like the truck it's not stopping.
My brakes are not working properly. I can be backing up and put my foot on the brake. My truck will keep moving until I apply a lot of pressure on the brake pedal. I can be backing up and my truck will automatically brake and stop moving. I have to cut the truck off, start it back up for it to move. I was in a stand still traffic jam and braking a lot and my truck did stop it keep rolling. Sometimes when I apply the brake it slides.. This is the third time I have put it in the shop. I changed the brakes, brake sensor and replaced tires. I am scared to drive it. My truck is currently in the shop now for the brakes. please help.
When driving through Eugene brakes suddenly got soft while at a stoplight, then pedal got stiff and very hard to keep pressed. An alert came on the dashboard 'Brake Assist Service' just about the same time the brake pedal changed and car would not fully stay at a stop. When checking to feel what had just happened, by letting up and repressing the brakes, it would not fully stop car, even with all my strength pressing. If another car would have been coming through, my young son or myself could have been killed or seriously injured and I could cause someone seriously to be hurt or killed from being in their lane of travel. I alerted my husband that I was unable to drive the vehicle safely, he is in the vehicle industry and looked up online and found there is a common known problem, recalls, and service bulletins, but apparently not for vehicle years prior to 2017, although this severe failure is seen on 2014 and later; and the manual tests/diagnostics that a person can do in a pinch per the bulletin, recall notice, and articles; and in his trials of how to tell if it is a failure or fleeting problem - nothing alleviated it, all the symptoms are present and system is failing and continually bringing up the brake assist service alert. This is the info that we found on the recall, but didn't appear to cover 2016 year models: [the federal safety agency campaign number: 20V603. GM's own number for this recall is N202300860.] We plan to get this yukon over to Guaranty Chevrolet in Junction City Oregon tomorrow 10/8. The only thing that has been very recently noticeable preceding this in recent week or so is a slight uneven braking feeling in the motion of the car when coming to a stop. Which it has not done before.
LED Tail Light out
When I was merging on the fwy my car accelerated and I couldn’t slow it down. I had to get off the fwy and break really hard. Driving on the fwy and not being able to control the speed or breaks could of caused an accident or cost us our lives. I have an appointment with the dealer service center on Sept 20, 2022. A few weeks ago I noticed the car was having trouble sifting gears.
The suv starts to brake on its own while driving. It came to a complete stop once and almost caused an accident.
Vehicle shuts off and on when making a sharp turn. When reversing into a parking spot the trucks steering wheel got stiff and everything shut off off then on then off and on again. When reversing it did it twice more. Turning to get out of a car wash curve it shut off and on. Turning into my driveway it shut off and on (on two different occasions)
My 2016 yukon denali has a vibration problem, which I believe is caused by the magnetic ride control. The vibration does not speed up, nor slow down, depending on speed. It is, however, more noticeable when there is any road imperfection. The gmc service dept. Has balanced and rotated tires, even sent it to two other businesses to try and fix -- alignment, etc. Vibration continues. I've had passengers who ask "why does your car have the shivers?" gm dealer did get ahold of a gmc technician who flew in, and drove the car and said -- yes it has a vibration, but it is in acceptable parameters. My dealer has provided me 3 different rental cars while working to try and fix the "shivers" ... All three were fairly new, small buicks, and all 3 rode better than this new $75,000 denali. I love the vehicle, hate the vibration. Gmc itself has now told me -- your case is closed! The vibration is within acceptable limits. The dealer has let me drive two other yukon denali's ... Both have similar vibrations... Just not as bad as this vehicle. Vibration is noticeable at 25 MPH, as well as at 80 MPH; although it is more noticeable on rougher roads. I am happy to share the reports from my local gm dealer, who completely agrees that the car shimmies. We tried the gmc buyback program, and I was told by gmc that program is not available to me, even though I took the car back to the dealer when I had less than 100 miles on it. And have been taking it back regularly since.
When the vehicle reaches 40-60 miles per hour a vibration occurs... Often sounds like a window is down and can cause nausea and headache...
