What owners say

I purchased my car brand new. After one week I notice my car jerking when shifting gears. I took the car back to the same dealership I brought it from, the service manager told me thats how it changes gears from 4 cylinder to 8 cylinder. So me believing in the service manager, I went along with him. Well after having different people ride with me they asked me what is wrong with your nee car? Why is it shifting gears so hard. So I took it back in to dealership I talk to same service manager that my car is jerking and making a loud noise . Well lets just say I got the run around. Then 6 months later I took it back and forth multiple times for same problem. Now this time my turning signals we blinking on and off, whenever I washed my car or it rained. Then my front headlights were doing the same thing, then the back tail lights were going on and off. Now onto my heated and A/C seats were not working. Then my interior lights wete staying on, monitor display was shorting out. Now it 2020 and my hood and top of the car are oxidizing. I thought I paid $80k for this car and this what happens!! I park in the garage too! There is alot more problems to add, but not enough space to put down. Im dealing with the gmc headquarters now. My car is a lemon!!

2016 yukon denali, both brake lights malfunction with on 78k miles. I can't afford new brake lights as they are manufacturer only and $800 a pop. I purchased the extended warranty to cover any of these expenses at another 3k, and the dealer tells me headlights, tail-lights are not covered. I should have researched better, or would not have bought a vehicle with any LED lights.

Both head lamps have moisture and it is hard to see the road. I have extended warranty and it will not cover lenses. No warranty will. Eventually the moisture will hard the LED and hid components and they will not work at all causing a hazard to my family and others. My car has 37000 miles on it and is garage kept. These lamps are over $2000.00 to replace.

Wife driving children home at night. Used dash light dimmer wheel to adjust dash brightness. Caused all lights, including headlights to turn off

Headlights are too dim and do not provide appropriate visibility for safe driving at night, particularly when navigating curvy roads as the lights do not project an adequate distance. Factory bulbs have been replaced with another brand with minimal improvement.
