2016 GMC Yukon lights complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Was just told my right brake light is out. Dealership said $700 to fix!! And they are out of stock. Car is less then 3 years old. What in the world!!
The brake lights in the 2016 gmc yukon vehicle failed. The design requires a whole light assembly replacement. The dealer quoted $750 per light. The problem seems to be widespread and caused by faulty light assembly.
2016 gmc yukon has only 40k miles, yet brake lights on rear driver side are out. Hundreds of complaints online re:same issue; cost to repair is $650-$800. This shouldn't be an issue with this age of the vehicle. Concern is the passenger side will go out next and cost another $650-$800.
Right LED brake light has stopped functioning. Through online search engine, I've discovered that this is an increasingly frquent problem that gmc has refused to address.
Rear brake lights keep going out, parking assist sensors do not work, satellite antenna leaks water on to steering wheel when it rains
Rear tail light works intermittently causing a risk of being rear ended. Through research this appears to be an issue with many vehicles of this make and model. Gmc also charges an outrageous price for the replacement at $1000 from the dealer.
The rear tail/brake lights on the gmc yukon series have a defect that keep causing the running lights and brake lights to work intermittently. I had an entire new light installed and the same issue occurred within a few thousand miles. Gmc is aware of this problem and has yet to issue a recall for these defective lights. Obviously this is an important safety feature of the vehicle in order to alert other drivers of mere presence, braking, and turning actions.
The LED tail lights go off and on and the only way to repair is to replace the whole unit
Passenger side LED brake light failed at 60000 miles. $800 dealer repair quote to replace. No manufacture support.
Passenger side brake light not working. Yukon has under 40,000 miles and is meticulously cared for. I have read many other complaints online and this seems to be a quality issue. There is no easy fix and a complete replacement is required. This is a safety issue given it is a brake light. Brake lights should not malfunction in this manner. A recall is certainly in order as failure to signal braking can be a risk for myself as the driver and others.
Right rear brake light assembly failed. It is a sealed assembly and cannot be repaired without breaking the sealed/sonic welded assembly. Replacement assembly is $700+ dollars.
My wife's 2016 gmc passenger tail light flickering working when it wants. Truck has 50k never been in accident and we are the original owners.
I drive 2016 gmc yukon, and the entire tail light on the passenger rear side has gone out on it. I read about several people with the same year and model truck having this issue. I feel like gmc should do a recall because my vehicle isn't three years old yet.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 gmc yukon. The contact stated that the brake lights and tail lights stopped working without warning. The vehicle was taken to alexander buick gmc of simi valley (2100 first st, simi valley, ca, (805) 582-6100) where it was diagnosed that the LED console panel and bulbs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.
The rear tail light is not working properly. Around december 17, 2018 I was driving my vehicle on the city street and highway when several people advise me my light was out and not working. I check it once arrived at home and it was working properly and didn't problem. And a week later same issue from people pulling me over to advise me my tail light was out. Around january 10, 2019, I went in to hutchinson auto mall gmc dealer and they advise me everything is working properly and doesn't see a problem, and advise me to bring back should I experience the outage again. I inspect vehicle as well and seem no problem. 23 january 19 same problem and went back to dealer and they discover the outage and advise me the LED tail light strip was out and need to replace the assembly. It appears their seem to be a wiring issue where the light is and out. To keep from a serious problem or fire. Request immediately investigation. The technician also advise me this seems to be a common problem.
Left rear taillight is out. Car has <40k miles and required a $675 part to fix
Read LED brake lights are intermittently not working. Because they are a sealed unit, cannot change the bulb, need to replace entire assembly. Dealer is quoting $831 per assembly to replace, for a total of $1662. Gm is refusing to address this safety concern because the car is just over 4k miles over warranty mileage. I have been notified by other drivers on the road that my brake lights are not working. This is an expensive repair just to "replace the bulbs". There are third party services that repair this common problem with these units: http://www.ledfix.com/yukontaillightrepair.html https://www.yukontaillightrepair.com/ other gmc owners with the same problem: https://www.carcomplaints.com/gmc/yukon/2015/lights/taillight_not_working_properly.shtml attached is a copy of my service invoice with the dealers quote. I have already contacted gm twice about this. The reference number for each call are 8-4782652601 and 9-4950899453. How is this issue not a recall? What needs to be done to get gm to replace these faulty tail light assemblies? Thank you.
Led bulbs in brake lights work intermittently and eventually go out.
Both the driver and passenger brake lights are not functioning at all. Because it is an LED lamp, the entire tail lamps assembly requires replacement at a significant cost.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 gmc yukon. While driving, the tail lights illuminated intermittently. The contact was alerted by other drivers on the road. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to motor city buick gmc (3101 pacheco rd, bakersfield, ca 93313, (855) 393-2841) where it was diagnosed that the tail lights failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 49,000.
Faulty wiring on tail lights. Light went out very quickly. Non-functioning now.
Gmc yukon 2016 rear lights are defective. This is the 2nd time they have gone out and it is not a quick fix to replace. Cost is approximately $750 to replace a light that will go out again due to poor manufacturing and quality. The first time it went out was only a year after purchase. This is the 2nd time it has gone out and is not d=covere under warranty. These lights are not made to last a decent amount of time. There are numerous issues reported regarding these rear lights.
The rear tail lights on my 2016 yukon slt both went out.
Rear tail light seems to work intermittent. When the temperature goes up it does not work, cool down it works. My yukon is only 2 years old, I thought LED last longer, that is a big joke. To replace it at the dealers would be $803.00 for a tail light. That is highway robbery. The dealership needs to look into this to see why there are so many problems from other individuals. I will think twice before I purchase another gmc vehicle.
Both break lights went out.
Led tail light/brake light failure. These tail lights on the 2015 to present gmc and chevrolet suvs have premature failure. The cost to the public for these lights are around 700$ each to replace. Gm needs to recall the taillights or have them warranted for the life of the vehicle. This creates a safety hazard for drivers and not to mention a possible traffic ticket coupled with the cost associated with the replacement; gm needs to recall these for the shear fact that they cost as much as a house payment just to replace one light.
Passenger side brake light started going out then will go back on and go back out and then it just went out completely the car is less than 2 years old. Bought it brand-new I have been the only owner. There is no reason why a tail light should be going out before the car is even 2 years old.
Taillight quit working
Rear LED brake lights are not working - they work then they don't work it's not consistent - sometimes going out for days. The vehicle is only 2 yrs old and I'm not sure what is causing the malfunction and don't want to pay 700 to replace each light. It is really unsafe to be driving.
