2015 GMC Yukon Denali Xl Problems

The contact owns a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL. The contact stated that the passenger’s side taillight failed to illuminate intermittently while depressing the brake pedal. Over time, the driver’s side taillight also would fail to illuminate with the brake pedal depressed. The contact then received a warranty notice from the local dealer about the failure however, the contact was informed when speaking to the dealer that due to the mileage on her vehicle, the vehicle no longer qualified under the warranty program. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

THE PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT STARTED 'GOING OUT' RIGHT AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED-MEANING, IT WOULD WORK OFF AND ON AT VARIOUS TIMES. THEN THE DRIVERS SIDE TAILLIGHT HAS STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE GMC TAILLIGHTS AND YET GMC HAS YET TO RECOGNIZE ANY ISSUE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE DRIVING THESE MODELS WITH FAILING TAILLIGHTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED

FAULTY BRAKE-LIGHT AND COSTLY FIX. DEALERSHIP HAS TAILLIGHT ON BACK ORDER SO A REPLACEMENT ISNT EVEN AVAILABLE. DEALERSHIP WANTS $675 JUST FOR THE PART THAT CANT EVEN BE ORDERED. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO SOLUTION AVAILABLE.

REAR PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTANTLY WHILE DRIVING.

MY YUKON MAKES VERY HARD SHIFTS WHEN ACCELERATING AND DECELERATING. THE TCM WAS REPROGRAMMED AFTER VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON THE HIGH WAY LAST NOVEMBER. NOW THE TRUCK SHUDDERS BETWEEN 25 AND 45MPH ESPECIALLY WHEN CLIMBING OR FILLED WITH PASSENGERS. VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE CABIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE FROM PARK INTO DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSION MADE A HARD CLUNKING SOUND. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 30-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEWIS CHEVROLET BUICK OF LIBERAL (LOCATED AT 202 N GRANT AVE, LIBERAL, KS 67901, (620) 624-2584) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED AND REFILLED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE WHEELS HAVE CORROSION AND SHARP EDGES HAVE STARTED TO FORM. THESE SHARP EDGES ARE PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE THE TIRES CAUSING THEM TO LOSE AIR. WE WERE REQUIRED TO PURCHASE NEW WHEELS AS THE ONLY SOLUTION. WHEELS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF A VEHICLE, NOT FOUR YEARS.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP THERE WOULD BE A SUDDEN SURGE AND IT FELT LIKE THE VEHILCE WAS BEING PUSHED FORWARD. THERE HAS BEEN A FEW OCCASIONS WHERE WE ALMOST HIT SOMETHING IN FRONT OF US BECAUSE OF THIS SURGE. THERE WAS A BAD SHUTTER THOUGH OUT THE VEHICLE AT 30 TO 50 MPH. MADE COMPLAINTS TO DEALER. THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS WAS AT ROUGHLY 6K MILES AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST OIL CHANGE. AT 10K MILES THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND DIED IN OUR DRIVE WAY AFTER PUTTING IT INTO REVERSE TO BACK OUT. THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK INTO THE STREET AS OUR DRIVEWAY IS AT A INCLINE WITH OUT ANY FUNCTIONS OR CONTROLS. LUCKY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND THEY WERE ABLE TO AVOID HITTING US. I WAS ABLE TO START IT EVENTUALLY AND DROVE ITS STRAIT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT BAD AND REPLACED IT. COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ROUGH RIDE, NOISES AND LOOSE FEEL COMING FROM THE FRONT END SEVERAL TIMES AT 20,000 MILES AND 30,000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE OVER BUMPS WHILE IN A CURVE THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK TO THE SIDE PULLING THE STEERING WHEEL HARD TO THE SIDE IT WAS PULLED TOWARDS. THERE WERE A FEW OCCASIONS WHERE WE ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE OR CONCRETE WALL. THEY FINALLY REPLACE SOME COMPONENTS ON THE FRONT END. NO MORE NOISES FROM THE FRONT END FOR ABOUT 2,000 MILES AND THEN IT COMES BACK. THE SHUTTER IS BACK ALONG WITH ERRATIC SHIFTING. SERVICE REPLACES THE TORQUE CONVERTER AGAIN AT 45,000 MILES. THIS TIME IT LAST A LITTLE BIT LONG AND I DON'T START HAVING ISSUE WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER UNTIL NEARLY 60,000 MILES. THE FRONT END STILL POPS, CREAKED AND FEELS LOOSE AT TIMES AND THE TORQUE CONVERTOR IS STILL FAILING.

The contact owns a 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali. The contact stated while driving approximately 30-35 MPH, the engine and oil warning lights illuminated, and the contact pulled over. There was no indication of oil leaking on the ground. The contact had her son-in-law, an independent mechanic to check the oil and it was determined that the oil level was low. The contact stated that oil was added; however, three days later the oil level was low again. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and the contact was notified of an excessive oil consumption failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The warranty company declined to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

SUV SHUTTERING AND SHAKING WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY

I PUT IN ANOTHER COMPLAINT AND FORGOT TO ADD MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAILS!!!! I HAVE NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND REMOTE START THOUGH I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THEM ALL WORKING ONLY WHEN THEY WANT TO IT SEEMS WHEN IT'S HOT OUTSIDE ALL OF THESE THINGS GO HAY WIRE AND WHEN IT'S FREEZING COLD (COLORADO WINTER) EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. TODAY HIGH OF 40 EVERYTHING IS WORKING FINE... HIGHS IN THE 80+ EVERYTHING SEEMS TO NOT WORK. SO IT'S BASICALLY BOILING DOWN TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHEN IT'S HOT AND NO ISSUES WHEN IT'S FREEZING COLD. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!! I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH HEAT AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES.(CARGURUS.COM) PLEASE SOMEONE DO SOMETHING GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS!!!!!!!! I ONLY HOPE OTHERS HAVE MADE THESE COMPLAINTS SO GM CAN BE HELD RESPONSIBLE! 800$ FOR A BRAKE LIGHT GET OUT OF HERE!!!!!!!! AND THAT'S JUST THE PRICE TO FIX THE BRAKE LIGHT WHEN IT DECIDES NOT TO WORK AND I'M NOT PAYING THAT MUCH TO FIX ONE ISSUE WHEN IT SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HEAT!

JUST GOT THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO. BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM TO WORK WHEN THE WANT TO. HAVE READ OTHERS REVIEWS AND SEEMS EVERYONE WITH THIS VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE! THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TOO,. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF AND ON HAD IT CHECKED ONCE WHILE ON AND WAS TOLD IT'S AN O2 SENSOR. WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON REMOTE START WON'T WORK. SEEMS THE BRAKE LIGHT ISSUE IS PURPOSEFUL SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT COSTS SO DANG MUCH TO FIX IT! FOR SUCH A NICE VEHICLE AND EXPENSIVE PAYMENT YOU WOULD THINK THERE WOULD BE NO ISSUES.

RIGHT SIDE TAIL LIGHT IS NOT WORKING TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKS WHEN SELECTING DRIVE FROM REVERSE. WHEN ROLLING SLOW IN A PARKING LOT, SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION HAS A VERY HARSH CLUNK AS IF SOMEONE HAS HIT ME IN THE REAREND. THE STEERING COLUMN HAS A POPPING NOISE WHEN TURNING LEFT.

1. WHILE DRIVING STEERING WHEEL WAS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING. DEALER REPLACED UPPER STEERING COLUMN BEARING AND TURN SIGNAL. THREE MONTHS LATER DEALER REPLACED STEERING COLUMN AGAIN DUE TO SAME ISSUE. 2. ONE MONTH LATER BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS WERE REPLACED. 3. WHEN REPLACED SPRINGS, DEALER FOUND THAT LEFT FRONT UPPER BALL JOINT WAS LOOSE SO REPLACED UPPER BALL JOINT AND UPPER CONTROL ARM. 4. AFTER REPLACING ABOVE MENTIONED PARTS, NOISE WAS STILL PRESENT WHEN DRIVING SO DEALER REPLACED BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT FRONT STRUTS. 5. THE FOLLOWING MONTH RIGHT FRONT STRUT WAS REPLACED AGAIN DUE TO NOISE WHILE DRIVING. 6. ONE MONTH AFTER THAT SERVICE THE RADIATOR BEGAN LEAKING WHILE ON THE ROAD AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE RADIATOR. 7. 07/12/2017 LEFT FRONT STRUT WAS REPLACED AGAIN. THIS IS THE 4TH STRUT PUT IN THIS VEHICLE. 8. 07/12/2017 A/C STOPPED WORKING. DEALER SAID IT NEEDS NEW CONDENSER WHICH IS ON BACK ORDER INDEFINITELY AT THIS POINT SO NOT ABLE TO FIX AT THIS TIME. THESE ISSUES HAPPENED OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS. NOT AT A SPECIFIC TIME. THE STEERING COLUMN IS STILL MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHILE TURNING. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE BACK, HOWEVER THE DEALER SAYS THEY ARE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE NOISE. IF THEY END UP REPLACING THE STEERING COLUMN AGAIN IT WILL BE THE THIRD TIME. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT TRUST WORTHY TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCES OR CROSS COUNTRY. VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR A $70,000 NEW VEHICLE.

FAULTY, POORLY MADE TAIL LIGHTS THAT NEED TO BE ENTIRELY REPLACED (NOT JUST THE BULB) AT MORE THAN $700 EACH. WHEN SPENDING SO MUCH ON A CAR, THIS IS LITERALLY INSANE NOT TO BE COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. GMC DRIVERS DESERVE MORE THAN THIS POORLY MADE LED LIGHT SYSTEM. THE PLASTIC WINDOW TRIM PIECES ALSO DETACH DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC CLIPS. I'VE HAD TO LITERALLY USE DOUBLE SIDED TAPE AND GLUE TO STICK THEM BACK ON A $70K+ CAR. IT'S HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE PIECES THAT ARE LITERALLY PART OF THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE.

MY GMC YUKON XL VIBRATES BADLY AT ALL SPEEDS BUT INTENSIFIES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 40-55. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE WHOLE FRAME OF THE CAR. THE CABIN CREATES A THROBBIING SOUND, LIKE A HELICOPTER INSIDE THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES. THE CAR CONSUMES OIL AT AN ALARMING RATE WITH NO VISIBLE LEAKS OR NOTICABLE EXHAUST. THE CAR SURGES UNEXPECTEDLY SOMETHINES AROUND CORNERS OR BACKING OUT OF PARKING SPOTS. AND THE REAR "CLUNKS" WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A SLOW SPEED SUCH AS ONTO A HIGHWAY ENTRANCE RAMP. THE REARVIEW CAMERA A IS TOTALLY WORTHELSS IN LOW LIGHT LEVELS AND CANNOT BE USED FOR SAFE BACK UP OPERATIONS. DEALER HAS HAD THE CAR FOR OVER 50 DAYS AND HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER, HAS REPLACED THE STRUTS AND SHOCKS AND HAS CHANGED FLUISD AS PER GM INSTRUCTION. IN ALL THIS TIME AND OVER 6 VISITS, THEY CANNOT FIX AND HAVE TOLD ME THAT GM HAS SAID THIS IS THE "NEW NORMAL". IF THIS IS NORMAL, WHY DID THEY SPEND SO MUCH TO TRY AND FIX SOMETHIG THAT WAS NOT WRONG? THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE REAR VIEW CAMERA WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY BECUASE OF ALL OF THE FACTORY OPTIONS ON THE CAR AND THAT DEGRADES THE QUOALITY OF THE IMAGE. GM HAS NOT CONTACTED ME ALTHOUGH I HAVE REQUESTED THROUGH THE DEALER THAT THEY DO SO. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC CARS OF THIS YEARS MODEL. I WOUL DLIKE TO SEE ACTION TAKEN AGAINST GMC TO CORRECT THIS OR MAKE ME WHOLE.

'TAKATA RECALL' WE JUST PURCHASED OUR 2015 YUKON DINALI XL DECEMBER 20, 2018 AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE LIGHT ( WHILE IN MOTION ) ON DRIVER-SIDE WORKING INTERMITTENTLY, SO WE REPLACED BOTH TAILLIGHTS WITH BRAND NEW ($700) ENCLOSED REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND NOW WE ARE HAVING AN ISSUE WITH DRIVER SIDE ONCE AGAIN. I'M VERY PROUD TO BUY AMERICAN MADE PRODUCTS BUT AFTER SEEING HOW MANY GMC MONTHLY COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, YOU WOULD THINK THAT GM WOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I KNOW MYSELF BEING IN BUSINESS IF I HAD A COMPLAINS MORE THAN THREE TIMES A MONTH I WOULD TRY MY BEST TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM TO KEEP FROM HAVING A BAD REPUTATION AND HAVE A FUTURE CUSTOMERS!! I TAKE PRIDE IN MY WORK FOR WHAT OUR CUSTOMER PAYS, AND EXPECT THE SAME FOR WHAT I PAY!!

VEHICLE TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS QUIT WORKING. THE LED CIRCUITS BREAK CAUSING THE CONNECTION TO SHORT OUT. BOTH THE TAIL LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT WORK ONCE THE CIRCUIT IS BROKE. THE OWNER CAN'T SIMPLY FIX THE BURNT OUT TAIL LIGHT. ONE MUST COMPLETELY REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY, COSTING UPWARDS OF $1,000 FOR BOTH. THIS IS NOT COST EFFECTIVE AND IS DOWNRIGHT HAZARDOUS WHEN BOTH TAIL LIGHTS GO OUT, FOR BOTH THE OWNER AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY SHOULD BE ABLE TO RESIST ROAD BUMPS AND VIBRATIONS.

The contact owns a 2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, gasoline would leak out of the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to TSB Number: 14858 (High-Pressure Fuel Pump). The failure mileage was approximately 126,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EMITTED AN ABNORMAL FUEL ODOR. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT OBSERVED A PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE GROUND. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FUEL TANK AND FUEL LINE DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPACE IN BETWEEN THEM, WHICH CAUSED A HOLE TO DEVELOP IN THE FUEL LINE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED FUEL WAS LEAKING FROM PRESSURE LINE TO ENGINE ABOVE FUEL TANK. WHEN TANK WAS REMOVED THE FUEL LINE HAD RUBBED A HOLE IN ITSELF FROM THE WHERE IT CLIPS INTO THE TANK. THE LINE HAD PUSHED OUT ALMOST 2 GALLON OF FUEL IN LESS THEN 10 MINUTES OF IDLING TIME IN MY GARAGE. UPDATE 11/1/18*JB

LED BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED IN BOTH TAIL LAMPS. LED IS SUPPOSED TO BE A LONGER LASTING ALTERNATIVE TO STANDARD LIGHTS. UNFORTUNATELY THE WAY GM DESIGNED THESE YOU CANNOT SERVICE OR REPAIR THEM LIKE YOU CAN WITH A TRADITIONAL BULB. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT THERE IS A THIN STRIP THAT BREAKS IN THE CIRCUIT CAUSING BOTH TAILLAMPS TO LOOSE FUNCTIONALITY, THERE IS NO BULB OUT WARNING SO THE DRIVER IS NOT ALERTED. AND WITH NO BRAKE LAMPS THIS COULD RESULT IN A CRASH OR INJURY.
