The brake light is out. All other lights are working, but the brake light. It just stopped working. I have been told this is a normal thing for the gmc. I can not just change a bulb, they said I had to replace the entire light kit for a $850.
2016 GMC Yukon lights complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 gmc yukon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the contact was informed by a police officer that the passenger's side rear taillamp was inoperable. The vehicle was taken to edwards motors located at (1825 veterans pkwy s, moultrie, ga 31788), where it was determined that the passenger's side rear taillamp assembly needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 73,200.
Brake light taillights intermittent turns on and off
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 $2000.00 to replace.
Brake lights stopped working almost was plowed into by 18 wheeler on I-75. Driver waved us over and informed us that he did not see us till right on top of us. Problem appears to be systemic enough that the gmc service department told us that it was common enough that they kept the brake lights in stock. Additionally there are numerous threads about this issue on the internet and even utube videos on where to remove material to access the offending circuit board to repair the known faulty circuit. The failure of these brake lights could have cost my family and me our lives. The dealership wanted to charge 1600$ to replace the brake lights. I reiterate the brake light failure is common enough that there are numerous threads on the internet to discuss the known weakness of the circuit board
Brake and taillight are going on and off intermittently. I can hit the side of the taillight and it will blink on and off sometimes. Looked up online and found it is a well known issue that gmc will not fix. This is a safety hazard.
This can be researched by hundreds of videos on youtube. Poor design causes the metal to break inside the LED rear tail lights which makes them inoperable. These are unsafe when these go out and it is very common. General motors does warranty their lights nor is there a recall.this is a costly repair and a safety issue
Brake light on vehicle works intermittently and is no longer safe. This is a problem gmc is well aware of and no solution in sight. Cheap metal board brakes inside the lens and leaves you with no brake light. I do not want my family to be rear ended because of this professional grade? Brake light failure, at any time on road.this is a 2016 gmc yukon with 22710 miles as I write. Brake light has failed while moving on the city streets. This failure is currently on the passenger side brake light. Trying to make appointment for repair of this professional grade brake light? Before the other one brakes and put my family at risk of a accident.
Rear LED taillight went out our only 3 year old 2016 gmc denali. This effects the stop, tail, and turn lights. These LED lights are not repairable and the whole assembly has to be replaced. Gm charges an astronomical price of around $700 for each side. It is very hard to find any used ones and according to part dealers gm has a 'bounty' on any used ones to turn back in. Obviously gm is aware of this problem and needs to address it as not only as good customer relations but it's really a safety issue as well.
My tail light is out only on the brake part the dealers said I have to replace the hole light ive had my car no more than 2 years running well just the light problem the dealer said it happens alot but it was not under warranty they want to charge 600 dlls I think they should fix their issue an not have people spending this much for something they know they should fix
Driver side rear LED brake light no longer works.
2016 gmc yukon tail light not working. Started not working for a day or two and then worked again and then quit completely.
Brake lights are shorting out causing them to work intermittently. Circuit is broken inside the sealed portion of the light preventing repair.
The tail light stopped working and cannot change out the LED bulbs, it is a break some where the the wiring.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 gmc yukon. The contact stated that he was pulled over by the police for a tail light failure. The contact scheduled an appointment with carmax (916‑782‑2404, located at 1450 eureka rd, roseville, ca 95661) to replace the tail light. The contact stated that it was a known issue that the LED light bulb in the tail light assembly could not be replaced without replacing the entire tail light assembly. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 29,400.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the passenger side brake light failed to illuminate when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to greiner buick gmc (14555 civic dr, victorville, ca 92394, (760) 245-3451) where the contact was informed that the tail and brake light assemblies needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Internal circuitry of passenger tail light cracked in multiple locations causing the LED's that provide running and stop functions of the light to fail. The car was not wrecked or damaged in any way. Appears as if metal fatigue from bumpy roads perhaps causes the circuitry to fail at at least 2 weak points in the metal circuit. The problem was pointed out by a trailing policeman while stopped at a red light, he kindly notified me that the entire light was out.
Left rear LED brake/tail light went out at approximately 43,000 miles. In doing research this is a common problem in gmc yukon. It seems to be just after warranty expires as mine did. The cost to replace is anywhere around $800.00. I have no choice but to get it replaced as it is a safety issue. Research also says these LED's should be lasting much longer than they are on this make and model. I feel with the numbers so high gmc really needs to look into a recall and get this problem fixed or help compensate some of the cost. Also, this part is not readily available so we go weeks with no brake or tail light until it can be repaired. This is so not safe!!
Drivers side tail light/brake started failing, only working intermittently while driving and while stopped. Now only a small outer corner of the the light is working.
Both of the taillights work intermittently. I have taken it in to the gmc dealer only to be told it will be 2000.00 to replace them both. This is a factory problem. Sometimes one works, sometimes they both work and sometimes neither work, in motion, stationary, all streets and at any time.
The LED lights on the left rear tail light are defective. They flicker or do not work at all. The vehicle has less than 43,000 miles. To fix the issue requires replacing the entire tail light at a cost of more than $800. It should be a recall on a defective part.
Tail lights alternating not working. There seems to be some electrical issue with the LED tail lights. This is a massive problem and all over the internet. Gmc is charging $1000 per tail light to fix despite this being a defect. Many companies and youtube videos popping about a bout this: http://www.ledfix.com/yukontaillightrepair.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnldjpymdzc
Brake light/turn signal fail with no warning to driver. The failure requires replacement of the entire component. Dealer quoted $826 to replace assembly. I understand that these have a very high failure rate. Along with the lack of warning to the driver that their rear brake lights and turn signals are not working this is serious problem. The failure rate is so high that several independents are repairing them
Rear brake light on the drivers side was working intermittently and now will not work at all. I was not in an accident and no damage has occured to the part. It just stopped working. This is an LED and is not supposed to go out according to gm. Gm is aware of this issur and will not fix it.
The right side tail light has stopped working. It's going to cost $850 to replace the light. This vehicle only has 42k miles on it. This should not be a problem with a $58k vehicle. Researching the issue shows that this is a huge problem. So much so that there is not a tail light to be had for my vehicle! There is a shortage from all that have went out.
Brake light stopped working but it cant be repaired unless you replace the entire light assembly. This is a very common problem. So much so, it is a 3 month wait to get it! Not to mention it costs $500-800!! Now I cant even drive the car because of the safety concern of someone rear ending me. Gmc needs to recall these or pay the 3 month car rental fee.
My rear tail lights (both driver and passenger side) keep flickering and go out intermittently. They are LED lights, not bulbs; therefore, they cant simply be replaced without incurring a cost of $800+ per light. The dealer claims there is no recall on the lights.
Led tail light assembly malfunction. Unknown when issue started, but LED lights should outlive useful life of the vehicle.
Rear brake light LED strip is out. Vehicle only has 37k miles on it. Dealership will not repair it but wants to sell a new brake assembly for $750 each. If you tap on the light assembly, it comes on momentary and goes out again. Brake lights on both side of vehicle continue to flash rapidly, there has to be some type o ofelectrical problem to cause this issue,
