The amount of rust that has been exposed is absolutely insane. My adjuster found the initial section of rust when we had the Yukon in for repairs from a storm. In the past 2 months, the rust has caused a massive hole underneath the rear passenger's side door and we have had no choice but to get it repaired. The initial estimate for this single repair is going to be over $3400. This rust easily could've broken down further and gotten into the brakes and other components right behind it as it sits very close to the wheel well. This is an absolutely dangerous issue and should be addressed.

THE CLEAR COAT ON MY HOOD AND ROOF IS COMPLETELY GONE. I NOTICED THE HOOD LOOKED A LITTLE DULL ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND IT PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE. NOW THE PAIN IS STARTING TO CHIP. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD, THERE'S NO WAY THE CLEAR COAT SHOULD BE COMPLETELY GONE.

AFTER GETTING PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR A TAIL LIGHT THAT WAS OUT,I WAS IN MOTION AND THIS IS WHEN I STARTED MY RESEARCH. RIGHT TAIL LIGHT IS OUT, FAULTY PARTS. CHECKED ALL FUSE AND WIRE CONNECTION FOR CORROSION, BUT THER WAS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. GMC WANTS TO CHARGE $1,500 TO FIX. THE NEXT ISSUE IS THE PAINT JOB. I AM AT 50,000 MILES AND THE PAINT IS ALREADY FADING. THE CLEAR COAT WAS SUPER THIN AND CHEAPLY DONE. GMC SAID THEY WOULD COVER ONLEY 25% OF A $6000 - $12,000 PAINT JOB

MY VEHICLE HAS A SIGNIFICANT VIBRATION WHEN TRAVELING 40MPH AND ABOVE WITH A REAR WINDOW DOWN. THE VIBRATION IS ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY INCREASED CABIN PRESSURE. THESE ISSUES ARE CAUSING HEADACHES, NAUSEA, AND DIZZINESS. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMS ISSUE AND TRIED TO REPAIR, BUT UNABLE TO. THE VIBRATION STARTED RIGHT AFTER WE TOOK DELIVERY OF THE CAR AND HAS ONLY GOTTEN WORSE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR IN OCTOBER 2015 AND THE ISSUE CONTINUES UNFIXED TO THIS DAY AFTER 5 VISITS.

MY 2015 GMC YUKON XL WITH 5000 MILES EXHIBITS A BUFFETING / PRESSURE SENSATION THAT CAN BE FELT PREDOMINATELY IN THE EARS BETWEEN 30 AND 70 MPH WHEN ONLY THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS ARE DOWN . AFTER A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME IT BEGINS TO CAUSE DIZZINESS, EAR PAIN, AND HEADACHES. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG AND MUST BE FIXED

WITH ALL WINDOWS UP, VEHICLE EXHIBITS A BUFFETING / PRESSURE SENSATION THAT CAN BE FELT PREDOMINATELY IN THE EARS BETWEEN 30 AND 50 MPH. SIMILAR TO WHEN ONLY THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS ARE DOWN IN MANY VEHICLES. I SECOND THE FACT THAT AFTER ANY AMOUNT OF TIME AT THESE SUSTAINED SPEEDS IT BEGINS TO CAUSE DIZZINESS, EAR PAIN, AND HEADACHES. GM FORUMS ARE FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS. THIS VEHICLE OBVIOUSLY WAS MANUFACTURED WITH A SIGNIFICANT, KNOWN FLAW THAT THEY CANNOT CURRENTLY FIX. THIS SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE A SAFETY ISSUE STRICTLY BASED UPON THE PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS ONSET BY THE FEELING WITHIN THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE EXHIBITS A "BUFFETTING" OR PRESSURE SENSATION THAT CAN BE FELT PRIMARILY IN THE EARS BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH. AFTER ANY AMOUNT OF TIME AT THESE SUSTAINED SPEEDS IT BEGINS TO CAUSE DIZZINESS, EAR PAIN, AND HEADACHES. THIS CONDITION WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALER WITH 3 SEPARATE DRIVERS INCLUDING A TECH, THE SALES MANAGER, AND THE OWNER. GM HAS A TECHNICAL PI ISSUED, AS THE PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY RELATIVELY COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES. SUGGESTED REPAIRS INCLUDE RE-BONDING THE ROOF SHEET METAL TO THE FRAME, REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL, REPLACEMENT OF THE PROPSHAFT, REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF WHEELS AND TIRES, REMOVAL AND "RELAXING" OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, AND MORE. NONE OF WHICH APPEARS TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH TURNED UP DOZENS OF CASES WITH THIS ISSUE IN JUST ONE WEBSITE. GM HAS MANUFACTURED A VEHICLE WITH A SIGNIFICANT, KNOWN FLAW THAT THEY CANNOT CURRENTLY FIX. THIS FLAW SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE STRICTLY BASED UPON THE PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS TRIGGERED BY THE SENSATION WITHIN THE VEHICLE.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
