I purchased my 2015 Yukon in 8/2016 and in the beginning of 2017 the tail light on the right side burnt out the brake light did not work during the day but at night it would work. I took it to the dealership and they told me the led lamp had gone and needed to be replace. I came find out this lamp is all one part and the cost for a supposedly is over $600 just the lamp. So I had to buy the lamp and replaced it myself but they asked me for the core. So this was in 2917 and now two years later the same light that brought brand new in 2017 is out again and I'm having to spend another 600 to replace it again. I feel something should be done to help the consumer because GM does not care about this and how it affects the vonsur. Can something be done ?
Tail led lights and brake lights stopped working then start working partially then back to not working, went to have them replaced and it cost $1500 and then 6 months later back to partial working tail led lights and brake light then a small strip of them working then nothing at all then back to working then back to no light permanently again!!
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.
Passenger break light intermittently works. Took to GMC they said there is no known issue which is a lie! hundreds of owners online having the same issues. They said they can't nail down the issue since there's clearly power there. They want me to buy a while tail light assembly! about 900 dollars for the same faulty part!

Both tail lights work intermittently. I have been stopped by other drivers on several occasions to tell me that one of my tail lights was not working. Both lights are effected, but not usually at the same time, so I at least have one working light at a time. This has been happening since I purchased the vehicle from the dealership used car lot on 01/23/2019 whether I am sitting still or driving down the road. When the light goes off, you can hit the light assembly with your hand and it will momentarily come back on.
Tail light lighting strip spontaneously malfunctioned and stopped working. Vehicle has no light and no brake lighting which could have resulted in auto accident. Within a month the headlight has burned out resulting in a blinker malfunction. Vehicle was on highway when both lights malfunctioned
Our 2015 GMC Yukon denali has had the rear tail lights intermittently stop working for some time now. We even got pulled over by the police and were issued a fix it ticket!
The circuit boards on my brake lights are out. I have found that when moisture gets in them or when I hit a bump in the road they stop working. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. this happens daily...when they vehicle stationary, in motion, on a city street or on a highway.
Brake and tail lights go out intermittently while driving. I've been stopped multiple times on road with other drivers telling me. I also have several friends with same model telling me this happened to them.
The tail lights/ brake lights the cheaply made and have read of hundreds of people with this same issue I'm having that the circuit breaks and they stop working. This is a serious safety issue
The brake lights work sometimes and then don't, this is a huge issue. If they stop working while driving this could kill me or another driver or someones passenger(s).
I purchased a 2015 GMC Yukon and am the second owner. Last week, my driver's side brake light went out. I noticed it while driving when someone behind me told me it was out. Six months ago, I replaced the passenger side brake light which cost $875 to fix (the entire light assembly must be replaced, not just a bulb). A little research online has proven that this seems to be a common problem for many other GMC Yukon owners. Led lights are supposed to last the lifetime of the vehicle, but it would appear that something about the product is defective. This is simply outrageous and GMC knows that it is a problem.
Brake led lights go out and on, sometimes one side works, then other times the other side goes out, and sometimes both brake lights do not work. Sometimes by banging the cover, it turns on and works, but then they go out.
Rear lights, tail lights stopped working. You cant just change the bulb. Being leds the whole piece has to be changed. Apparently this is a known issue and GM knows about it, yet theres been no recall??
