2015 gmc yukon. consumer writes seeking reimbursement for vehicle repairs related to safety recall. *ld *js
Tail lamps, tail lamps tail lamps! non serviceable led illumination bulb circuit is faulty leading to intermittent operation. having part time brake light is against the law and more important to me, leaves my family in an unsafe situation. web search leads to many motorist having the same problem as i. as a paying taxpayer we should not be sold faulty goods that may have dire consequences.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 gmc yukon. while driving at an unknown speed, the abs and brake warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to buick gmc of kirkland (12335 120th ave ne, kirkland, wa 98034, (877) 505-6211) where it was diagnosed that the front driver and passenger side wheel speed sensors needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 19v761000 (electronic stability control, service brakes, hydraulic, service brakes). the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 39,000. *dt*jb
While traveling on a highway to work-related camp, upon arrival, co-workers informed me one of my brake lights was out. brakelight worked sporadically before completely going out for about 2 weeks finally being able to show service department. researched cargurus and numerous people reported the circuit cracks and eventually burns out. design flaw which turns into a safety issue!!! recall is needed!!!
Rear brake light assembly failing to light when brakes applied and there is not a notification to the driver. this is a manufacture flaw with the led light circuit inside the assembly. there is not a light out notification so the driver is not aware the brake light has failed. this is a safety issue and is an well known issue on the 2015-2019 yukon. this is occurring often and gmc is having problems with supplying replacements because the demand is so high from the failure. gmc has also raised the price of the brake light by 30% from $425 to $675 not including labor. i called the dealer and they informed it was a high failing item and was on backorder and not sure when they would get one. driving the vehicle without proper brake lights is a safety concern and not legal so left with little option but to stop driving the yukon.
While sitting still at a drive through, brake pedal went to floor as if it had no pressure. had no brakes! no matter how hard i stood on pedal the car would not come to complete stop when rolling. blew through stop signs and lights because even at 10 mph could not stop vehicle from rolling. had just got off interstate doing 70 mph. down hill grade was impossible. found out that this was a known issue by gm involving failure of vacuum pump booster. many reports, hopefully not many deaths caused.
Both brake lights work intermittently. if you tap hard on it they sometimes come back on but don't stay on. i took to gmc dealer where they informed me they've had a dozen yukon's in recently with the same issue. dealer indicated issue is faulty circuit board that overheats causing the lights to short out. i'm out of manufacturers warranty. extended warranty does not cover lights. dealer charges $800 per light (part only).
Brake light failure. first on driver's side then months later on passenger side. vehicle was in motion. hundreds of complaints are posted on the internet yet gm will not recall.
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.
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.
Vehicle brakes feel like they lock up often i have to push as hard as i can, the dash says "brake assist" or something when they feel like they lock up. i've almost hit cars several times because they lock up like this and theres nothing i can do. happens often and varying speeds 10-70!
Very hard/ stiff brake-pedal. it's very hard to stop the vehicle at any speed. i already replaced the brake pads and the problem still continues, is a very dangerous hazards to the drive the vehicle in that condition. the hard /stiff pedestal is in the city and the highway.
Pulling into parking spot low speed braking power was lost.. hard brake pedal.
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.
Driving the 2015 gmc yukon, tried to apply brakes, brakes went to floor and no braking available. had to jump a median in the road to get car stopped. called dealership, they were aware and said drive it there, almost wrecked again pulling into parking ot at dealership. you cannot drive the car like this, very dangerous. being told its a common problem that gmc knows about but will only fix if its 70,000 or 6 years. not ok, fix the problem my car is still under warranty until 100,000 miles! vacuum pump, vacuum pump belt, brake booster, master cylinder and vacuum pipe all need replacing!!!!!! make a recall before more people are hurt!!!!
