2016 GMC Yukon Denali Xl Problems

TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKED, COMING BACK ON INTERMITTENTLY. $700+ FIX FROM DEALER

PEOPLE KEPT TELLING ME ONE OF MY TAIL LIGHT WAS OUT BUT EVERY TIME I'D GET HOME MY TAIL LIGHT WAS ON! THIS KEPT GOING ON FOR A FEW WEEKS UNTIL THIS TIME I CHECKED AND IT WAS OFF. I WENT TO HAVE MY OIL CHANGED AND MENTIONED THE ISSUE. THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM BECAUSE OF COURSE IT WAS BACK ON. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, THE SAME CYCLE STARTED. MY FRIEND NOTICED THAT WHEN I WENT OVER A BUMP IT WOULD FLICK BACK ON. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GMC DEALERSHIP THAT INFORMED ME IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE IN THESE VEHICLES AND THE COST TO REPLACE WAS ABOUT $1,000. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO REPLACE AND NOT FIX. I DECIDED TO LOOK UP AN ALTERNATIVE AND FOUND OUT MANY OTHERS WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH YUKONS RANGING 2-3 YEARS AS MY VEHICLE. AFTER HAVING IT REPAIRED FOR A FRACTION OF THE COST OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO IT'S BACK TO NOT WORKING AGAIN! FRUSTRATING PART IS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY OTHERS... ON YOUTUBE ALONE THERE ARE SO MANY VIDEOS SHOWING HOW TO REPAIR ON OWN BECAUSE IT'S VERY COSTLY. RECENTLY, I WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEIR LIGHT WAS OUT AS WELL. I GUESS I'M GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE IT.

BOTH REAR TAIL LIGHTS HAVE FAILED UNDER 40,000 MILES. DEFECTIVE! PLEASE RECALL!!!

ON 2/28/2018 I HAD JUST LEFT THE AIRPORT IN OAKLAND CA, APPROX 8:00PM. I STOP FOR GAS AT THE CHEVRON STATION ON 98TH AVE, AFTER FUELING, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. REMINDER, THIS IS A 2016 DENALI. I HAD A FEMALE ASSOCIATE WITH ME AND WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT IN SAN FRAMSICO AT 8:30PM. THE CAR HAD LOST ALL POWER AND TWO OTHER PEOPLE HELPED ME PUSH INTO ADJACENT PARKING SPACE. THE AREA IS KNOWN FOR HIGH CRIME, BASICALLY WE WERE EXTREMELY NERVOUS AND STRANDED. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO CONTACT AAA AND SET AN APPOINTMENT TO CHECK OUT THE CAR. WE UBERED TO OUR APPOINTMENT. THE FAILURE OF THE BATTERY LEFT US VUNRABLE AND WE BOTH FEARED FOR OUR SAFETY. THE NEXT DAY, THE LOCAL MECHANIC SAID THE BATTERY SHOULD HAVE LASTED A MINIMUM OF SEVEN YEARS. THEY FELT THE BATTERY WASN'T SUFFICIENT TO HANDLE THE ELECTRONICS THAT WERE BUILT INTO THIS CAR. THEREFORE, POTENTIALLY CREATING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WITH ANY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. MY COMPLAINT HIGHLIGHTS THE POTENTIAL SAFETY IMPLICATIONS CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURES DECISION TO REDUCE COST BY INSTALLING A BATTERY WITHOUT THE CAPACITY TO REASONABLY START THE VEHICLE AFTER ONLY TWO YEARS OF USE. I WOULD HOPE ALL OWNERS OF THIS MAKE AND MODEL ARE NOTIFIED OF THIS POSIBLITY. I CAN'T IMAGINE ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS BEING EXPOSED TO THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU!

MY 2016 YUKON DENALI XL LURCHES FORWARD WHILE DRIVING ACTING LIKE IT IS HAVING ISSUES SHIFTING GEARS. I HAVE ALSO HAD AN ISSUE TWICE NOW WHERE WHEN I SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE IN MY DRIVEWAY MY VEHICLE GOES FORWARD INSTEAD.

AT 76,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SHUDDER VIOLENTLY AND HESTITATE. DEALERSHIP GMC WANTS ME TO SPEND 400 ON A FLUID UPGRADE AND HOPE IT FIXES IT IF NOT, I WILL HAVE TO BUY A NEW UPDATED TORQUE CONVERTER BECAUSE THEY SHREWDLY TOOK THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY DOWN TO 60000 MILES MONTHS BEFORE I BOUGHT NEW

I HAVE A 2017 YUKON XL DENALI. IT HAS 6K MILES. I PURCHASED IT NEW JUNE OF 2017.I WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT,WENT OVER A SPEED BUMP AT ABOUT 3 MPH AND THEN I NOTICE THE AC TURNED OFF.THEN I REALIZED THE RPM WAS AT 0 AND WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. THE ENGINE HAD STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. THERE WERE NO CODES STORED ON A CAR I'M TOLD HAS ABOUT A BAZILLION COMPUTERS (IMAGINE THAT) AND THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS OR "SERVICE BULLETINS" STATING IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. APPARENTLY IF YOUR GMC SERVICE DEPT CAN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE...THE CAR IS OBVIOUSLY FINE. I TOLD THEM I'M NOT TAKING THE CAR BACK. THEY WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO CONTINUE USING A LOANER NOR DID THEY HAVE A SIMILAR CAR EVEN AVAILABLE IF THEY WOULD. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND CREATE A CASE TO WHICH I DID. AT THIS TIME I'M STILL WAITING TO HEAR WHAT GM IS GOING TO DO BUT I'VE HAD TO PERSONALLY PAY FOR A CAR RENTAL BECAUSE I'M NOT WILLING TO DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS EXPERIENCED AND ISSUE AS DRASTIC AS THIS WHICH COULD KILL SOMEONE. HOPEFULLY GM RECOGNIZES THIS AND EITHER WORKS TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM OR TAKE THE CAR BACK TO RUN EXTENSIVE TESTS. I GUESS A PROBLEM LIKE THIS ISN'T AN ISSUE UNTIL SOMEONE DIES...WHICH HAS ALREADY HAPPENED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR STALLING ISSUES. IF YOU EXPERIENCE AN ISSUE LIKE THIS, PLEASE CONTACT GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DO AS I DID AND REFUSE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. I'VE ONLY READ OF A COUPLE OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS ON THE NEW YUKON PLATFORM/BODYSTYLE (2015 AND NEWER). I CAN GUARANTEE THAT GM WILL BE SUED IF I TAKE THIS CAR BACK AND END UP IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. I'M SURE THEY'LL DENY IT BECAUSE THERE ONCE AGAIN...WON'T BE ANY CODES TO TELL THEM THE CARE DIED, SO IT'D PROBABLY ME MY FAULT ANYWAYS.

MY 2016 GMC YUKON XL DENALI HAS AN INTERNAL ENGINE OIL LEAK THAT REQUIRES ME TO ADD ABOUT A QUART OF MOTOR OIL EVERY 2,000-3,000 MILES, WHICH EQUATES TO ABOUT 2-4 QUARTS OF OIL BETWEEN THE RECOMMENDED OIL CHANGE INTERVALS (EVERY 7,500 MILES). MY GMC DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED MULTIPLE OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS AND HAVE CONCLUDED THAT I HAVE AN INTERNAL ENGINE OIL LEAK, BUT AM WITHIN GMC'S OIL CONSUMPTION STANDARDS. SINCE I AM WITHIN GMC'S OIL CONSUMPTION STANDARDS, THEY CANNOT ADDRESS / REPAIR THE OIL LEAK. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT SINCE THIS MAY RESULT IN FUTURE ENGINE ISSUES / MALFUNCTION. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE COUNTLESS OTHERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GMC, CHEVY AND CADILLAC SUV'S / TRUCKS.

VEHICLE SHAKES AND HAS A ROUGH RIDE

WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED ABSORBING ANY BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE HANDLING WENT FROM SMOOTH TO ROUGH RIDE RESULTING IN INCREASE FOCUS OF DRIVING. REMINDER, THIS IS A 2016 VEHICLE. CONTACTED PRESIDENT OF COMPANY TO NOTIFY OF POTENTIAL DEFECT AS THE CAR ONLY HAD 57,714 MILES. I WAS TURNED OVER TO EXECUTIVE SERVICES WITH MY COMPLAINT AND REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT. $910.36 KINDLY INFORMED THEY WERE UNWILLING TO MITIGATE ANY COST AND WARRANTIES DID NOT APPLY. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 2/27/2018. RECENTLY HAD A BATTER FAILURE AND IM NOW CONCERNED OF COST SHAVINGS BY THE MANUFACTURE. I WANT TO NOTIFY ALL CURRENT OWNERS AND FUTURE BUYERS OF THIS MODEL. IT'S CLASSIFIED AS A LUXERY VEHICLE, YET THE MANUFACTURERS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT DOESN'T APPEAR TO SUPPORT THE OVERALL CONSTRUCTION OF THIS MAKE. THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THE SHOCKS IS SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO CAUSE MOMENTARILY DISTRACTION AND A POTENTIAL SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN A STRAIGHTAWAY AND REDUCED SPEED TO A SAFE CONDITION.

I TOOK MY CAR INTO A GMC DEALER DUE TO A FUNNY NOISE. I HAD TO PAY $800 TO REPLACE MY BRAKE VACUUM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BRAKING PROPERLY PRIOR TO THIS FIX.
