2015 GMC Yukon Driver assistance Problems

While driving in downtown boston in heavy traffic (stop and go) braking did not stop the vehicle when removing my foot from the brake and reapplying and the braking was extremely hard, the vehicle nearly collided into the vehicles in front of me. This issue persisted continously for the duration of travel. The issue was not found using the vin provided. This issue MUST be resolved ASAP. This incident was not the first, after owning the vehicle for several months this issue is a major safety issues, specifically when my new young adult drivers use this vehicle. Please help me resolve.

WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED FULLY, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS THE CAR CONTINUES ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH INITIAL COMPLETE DEPRESSION OF GAS PEDAL TO CAUSE SOME ACCELERATION AND DEPRESSING BRAKE ALLOWED VEHICLE TO RETURN TO NORMAL DRIVING. THE PROBLEM HAS WORSENED OVER TIME TO THE POINT WHERE BOTH FEET DEPRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT AFFECT ACCELERATION AND CAUSED SMOKE TO EMIT FROM BOTH FRONT BRAKE PADS, AND THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKE PAD FLAMED UP FROM THE HEAT. THE CAR WAS DRIVEN INTO A PARKING LOT WITH THE BRAKE DEPRESSED THE ENTIRE TIME, AND TURNED OFF. SO FAR, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE MAT CAUSED THIS EVEN THOUGH THE MAT IS CUT AROUND THE GAS PEDAL WITH PLENTY OF ROOM TO NOT OBSTRUCT PEDAL. THE MAT ALSO DOES NOT SLIDE OR MOVE ABOUT THE AREA. THE GMC DEALER TOLD ME THEY TOOK THE MAT OUT AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY AUTO ACCELERATION, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WERE UNABLE TO DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL FULL TO ATTEMPT TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM, TO NOT COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF THE OTHER CARS NEARBY.

THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ASSIST MAY FAIL MOMENTARILY AND THEN SUDDENLY FUNCTION AGAIN. THIS CAN CAUSE DIFFICULTY STEERING THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS, INCREASING RISK OF A CRASH. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A RECALL WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING RECALL 18V586000 THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE AT LOW SPEEDS WHEN I BACK UP OR TURN I LOSE POWER MOMENTARILY THEN IT COMES BACK

ON REPEATED OCCASIONS (FROM 2015 TO 2019) I HAVE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION AT LOW SPEEDS AND SUDDEN JERKING MOTIONS. THE TRANSMISSION AND SPEED CONTROLS ARE UNPREDICTABLE AND DANGEROUS. THIS IS HAZARDOUS AND MAY RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES INCLUDING A STUCK CALIPER AT APPROXIMATELY 42,000 MILES. I REPORTED THESE ISSUES AND NUMEROUS OTHER ISSUES TO GMC CORPORATE, TUSTIN BUICK GMC ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE AND THINGS ARE SATISFACTORY AND SAFE. GMC CONTENDS THAT THE VEHICLE IS FINE AND DECLINES TO ASSIST WITH ISSUES. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. THE DATE BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. THE MILEAGE IS APPROXIMATE ON ALL ENTRIES.

MY GMC YOUKON DENALI HAS BRAKE LIGHTS THAT ARE KNOWN TO DEALERS TO FAIL. YET THERE IS NOT A RECALL. I LOOKED ON THE INTER NET AND SAW THAT THERE HAS BEEN THIS PROBLEM SINCE 2015 TO 2018. BECAUSE OF A JOINT THAT WAS SOLDERED INSTEAD OF A WIRE. I KNOW WHY WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR RECALL THAT THE SERVICE MAN LOOKED AT MY STOP LIGHTS.

I HAVE HAD AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH THE STEERING, ELECTRICAL AND POWER STEERING AND STABILITY CONTROL. I HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE STABILITY CONTROL TURNING OFF, SUDDEN DROP IN ELECTRICAL POWER, THE STEERING WHEEL GETS VIOLENTLY YANKED OUT OF YOUR HANDS AND SOMETIME THE CAR COMPLETELY CUTS OFF. FORTUNATELY MOST HAVE BEEN AT SLOW SPEEDS OR ELSE THE CAR WOULD HAVE FLIPPED. IT IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OTHER MODELS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. I AM AFRAID OF THIS ISSUE KILLING ME OR MY LOVED ONES SHOULD IT HAPPEN AT SPEED OR LEAVE US STUCK IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. ACCORDING TO MY DEALER THIS IS AN ISSUE THE MANUFACTURE HAS KNOW ABOUT FOR A WHILE. *TR

COMPONENT AFFECTED: STABILITRAC MODULE CAUSE: A POWER SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS INSIDE THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN CAUSED THE STABILITRAC (STABILITY CONTROL) MODULE TO MALFUNCTION. UNSAFE CONDITION: THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD TURN A FULL 180 DEGREES ON ITS OWN AT IDLE/LOW SPEED. AT HIGHER SPEEDS, THE CAR WOULD PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" LIGHT WOULD ACTIVATE ON THE DASH AND MESSAGE DISPLAYED "STABILITRAC DISABLED". REMEDY: THE STEERING WHEEL WIRING HARNESS WAS REPAIRED AND THE STABILITRAC MODULE WAS REPLACED BY MY GMC DEALERSHIP IN THE SUMMER OF 2017, THE ISSUE HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE.

MY NEW, 2015 GMC DENALI IS EQUIPPED WITH A BACKUP CAMERA AND THE QUALITY IS SO POOR AT NIGHT, AS TO MAKE IT NEARLY MORE DANGEROUS TO USE THAN TO IGNORE IT. I HAVE HAD 3 PRIOR GMC DENALI AUTOMOBILES. THE MOST RECENT WAS A 2011 WHICH WAS TRADED IN FOR THIS NEW ONE. THE QUALITY OF THE BACKUP CAMERA IN THE 2011 MODEL WAS EXCELLENT. MY WIFE AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTED ON THE NEW CAR THAT THE CAMERA IMAGE WAS SO BLURRY AND POOR RESOLUTION AT NIGHT, WE COULD NOT SAFELY USE THE CAMERA TO BACK OUT OF OUR GATED DRIVEWAY. IN THE DAYTIME, THE IMAGE IS BLURRY AS WELL, BUT USABLE. GMC HAS HAD THE CAR TWICE FOR SERVICE AND WE HAVE COMPLAINED TO GMC CORPORATE AND ALL WE GET IS A STATEMENT THAT THE "SYSTEM IS WORKING NORMALLY" WHICH IS DIFFICULT TO ACCEPT. THE NHTSA'S OWN STATISTICS SHOW THAT EACH YEAR APPROX. 20 PEOPLE DIE AND 15,000 ARE INJURED DUE TO BACKUP INCIDENTS. THEIR GUIDELINES STATE A CAMERA NEEDS TO DISPLAY (CLEARLY I WOULD ASSUME) A 10 X 20 FOOT ZONE BEHIND THE VEHICLE. AT NIGHT, YOU CANNOT SEE 20 FEET CLEARLY BEHIND THIS VEHICLE, EVEN IN A WELL LIGHTED STREET. I AM CONVINCED THAT THIS POOR QUALITY SYSTEM IS GOING TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS IF IT HAS NOT DONE SO ALREADY. GMC HAS AN OBLIGATION TO ADDRESS WHAT I BELIEVE IS A SUB-STANDARD QUALITY IMAGE. THEY CANNOT DEFEND THE FACT THAT THE IMAGE IS MUCH WORSE THAN OLDER MODELS OF THEIR VEHICLES. FORTUNATELY, THE NEW DENALI MODEL DOES HAVE A SENSOR SYSTEM THAT PROVIDES A VIBRATORY WARNING IF YOU ARE ABOUT TO CONTACT AN OBJECT, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE DRIVER NEEDS TO SEE CLEARLY BEHIND THEM, BEFORE THEY ARE ABOUT TO STRIKE AN OBJECT IN THEIR PATH. I AM HOPING YOUR AGENCY CAN CONTACT GMC TO HELP MOTIVATE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLE(S) BEFORE THE DEFECT CONTRIBUTES TO AN UNNECESSARY INJURY OR DEATH. IN THE MEANTIME, WE DO NOT USE THE SCREEN IMAGE AT NIGHT. THANK YOU. *TR

THE NEW 2015 VEHICLE FREEZES UP IN FULL TIME 4WD MODE AND WILL NOT SHIFT OUT. THE DEALER INDICATES THAT IT IS A "KNOWN PROBLEM BY GM" AND THAT THEY ARE "WORKING ON IT". THEIR FIX AT THIS POINT IS TO HAVE YOU RUN THE VEHICLE IN 2WD MODE WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE DURING OUR WINTER MONTHS AS IT IS THEN A REAR WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN ON ICY ROADS.THE OTHER FIX IS TO RUN IT IN 4WD MODE BUT TURN IT INTO 2WD MODE EVERY TIME YOU TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. OBVIOUSLY, MANY DRIVERS WILL FORGET TO DO THIS AND THEREFORE MY FAMILY AT TIMES IS JUST RUNNING IT IN 2WD MODE THEREBY INCURRING A RISKY DRIVING SITUATION. DESPITE NUMEROUS DISCUSSION, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANY INFORMATION ON WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE FIXED. *TR
