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.
Trailer braking system warning is incessantly going off, without cause. Extremely distracting. No way to stop it. Truck has never even towed / trailored anything. Has happened multiple times over the last 6 months. Today occurred 26 times during driving
Loss of power steering, loss of abs, loss of cruise control, loss of forward crash assist, loss of lane departure, lose of side detection, oil leak from oil cooler line connection leaking down engine, potential fire, parking sensor, arm rest phone charger short circuit potential fire, wires pinched off at hinge point of center counsel, trailer brake system, stabilitrac, all current errors make vehicle unsafe to drive, ongoing issues since purchase including service reports of the same issues from previous owner
The brakes are hard to push to come to a stop. I brought it to a mechanic and he said it was my vacuum pump. The air bag light comes on when you hit a hard bump in the road.
While I’m parked or even driving I keep getting a alert on my speedometer ( Trailer Break System ) and it’s not a 1 time alert the whole time I’m driving it’s constantly alerting me yet I don’t even use my Trailer system at all, it’s concerning due to the distraction of trying to clear the screen constantly while I’m on the high way.
My 5 children and I experience a traumatic experience in afternoon traffic as my 2015 GMC Yukon failed to pick up speed while waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light. The vehicle - no matter how hard I pressed on the gas didn't accelerate immediately which almost cost an accident. The vehicle rode smoothly for a few minutes then out of nowhere - it started jerking and stuttering bad for 15 seconds or so then would go back to riding smooth. When pressing the brakes - it seems to "lock" to a certain extent, so I have to press really hard on the brake to slow down/stop the vehicle sometimes makes a strange noise when doing so. I took the vehicle to be accessed by a service center in my area - it was at that time that I was told that my vehicle issues are known...
My breaks stop working in drive through, pulling in parking spots, backing out, slow speed of traffic. I found out it's the power break vacuum pump. It then says Service brakes on my dash when it occurs. This started about 2 weeks ago.
I have owned this vehicle almost 6 years, 40,000 when purchased used. Since purchase, we have had multiple issues with the trailer brake system randomly going off, dinging non stop, we had the problem serviced under our warranty and is now going off again. We do not tow but a few times every summer which is our jet skis however. This has happened multiple times prior to us using our warranty, the garage says they fix it but it keeps happening. I am very frustrated that I can't drive my vehicle down the road without a continues dinging. I looked up what "trailer brake system" means and found that it can be very dangerous and GMC's are known to have this problem, it is suggested that I lodge a complaint in hopes of getting this problem resolved from the manufacturer before a driver becomes seriously injured when the braking system...
“Service Trailer Brake System” indicator light and alert continue happening. As of this weekend, my rear driver side taillight has begun going in and out/off and on.
Brake vacuum repair. Could not stop vehicle. Brakes would get hard and vehicle kept moving.
My brakes went out and a “service” message came up and said “brake assist”
Trailer break system warning keeps appearing.
Trailer brake system service keeps displaying
" Service Trailer Brake System" 5 times a week and sometimes more than that ....on average 5 times
A message keeps popping up, “trailer brake system” it is poor wiring on GMC part. I did research on this and looked it up and other people had similar issues which can be very severe if driver continues to use after this message pops up. The message is so continuous that it could distract the driver, which could lead to a fatal accident.
While I was in line at the gas station to get gas, I moved up because the car I front of me had done so. After moving up a bit, I pressed my feet on the brake but the pedal was very stiff and the breaks did not hardly engage. I almost ran into the vehicle in front of me. This was very scary. So I called for a tow truck to pick me up but after a while they didn’t show. I started my car up to see if the the brakes engaged and they did. So I slowly and carefully drove myself to the GMC dealership in Southaven, MC which was 0.3 mile away from the gas station. The GMC dealership said that it was vacuum pump that was at fault and admitted it was a recall for this. But they said since my truck has already been...
Last week, the power brake assist began fading away intermittently at low speeds, and caught my wife off guard in a grocery store parking lot when she pulled into a parking space and the brakes were not available. She had to plant both feet on the brake pedal in a panic stop before crashing into the car parked in front of her, and has since never driven the vehicle. This is a danger, and is potentially life threatening.
I almost died today. My brakes failed pedal went hard still is. Had to drive home with a stiff pedal and almost no brakes. Just paid $50,000 for this truck
Brakes are not stopping the vehicle on short distances as it should. They are doing a clicking kind of noise and can feel pulses in the brake pedal as though ABS are trying to activate. I know there is a recall out but is saying my 2015 is not listed yet is doing the same thing that is described in the recall.
Drivers side tail light intermittently works, doesn't work all the time. Passenger side brake light stays on continuously, never changes.
FIRST NOTE THAT OUR RECALL FOR INCREASED PEDAL EFFORT WAS DONE ON OUR 2015 GMC YUKON 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. OUR VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED COMING HOME FROM MAMMOTH ON THE 15 FREEWAY. WE HEARD WHAT WE DESCRIBE AS A 'BUZZING' NOISE BUT WE COULDN'T TELL IF IT WAS OUR CAR OR ANOTHER ON THE FREEWAY IT ALMOST SOUNDED LIKE TIRE TREAD BEFORE YOU HAVE A BLOW OUT. WE SLOWED DOWN A BIT (65-70MPH) TO CHECK OUR SURROUNDINGS. A FEW MINUTES LATER WE STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL OF OUR YUKON. I STARTED TO UNBUCKLE AND CLIMB TO MY HUSBANDS DRIVERS SEAT BECAUSE HE WASN'T RESPONDING TO OUR SCREAMS AND HE LOOKED ILL. AS I WAS SCREAMING HIS NAME HE FINALLY SAYS INTO MY EAR WE HAVE TO CRASH! I PANICKED AND SCREAMED WHAT IS HAPPENING. HE REPLIES 'WE HAVE NO BRAKES'! THE PEDAL WAS...
THERE WAS A RECALL FOR LOW BREAK FAILURE IT WAS RECALL 19V645. I HAD THIS DONE LAST YEAR AND TODAY I ALMOST HIT A CAR IN THE DRIVE THROUGH SIDE THE BRAKES ARE STILL DOING THE SAME THING GOING TO THE FLOOR. THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE FAULTY VACUUM PUMP. I EXPERIENCE THIS WHILE BACKING OUT AND STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS.
I BOUGHT MY GMC YUKON IN MARCH OF 2019 ABOUT A WEEK LATER I HAD PEOPLE INFORM ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I WOULD CHECK AT NIGHT AND THEY WOULD. A FEW MONTHS LATER I NOTICED IT MYSELF, THEY WOULD WORK ONE MINUTE BUT NOT THE NEXT. DECEMBER OF 2019 I GET A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THEY KNOW 2015 MODEL GMC YUKON VEHICLES MAY HAVE A CONDITION WHERE THE BRAKE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT ILLUMINATE. I COULD HAVE IT DONE IF MY SUV WAS NOT OVER 72K MILES BUT IT WAS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. SO THAT DOESN'T HELP ME AND THEY WANT $2K TO FIX IT. I CALLED TO SEE WHAT THEY COULD DO AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WASN'T A SAFETY ISSUE. IF THEY DO WORK AND SOMEONE DOESN'T SEE I AM BRAKING, MY KIDS OR FAMILY ARE IN THE BACK SEAT, HOW IS THAT...
THE TAIL LIGHTS STOP WORKING OR THEY FLICKER LIKE THERE'S A LOOSE CONNECTION OR SOMETHING NOT MAKING CONTACT I E SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING AND GM NOW HAS A NEW IMPROVED TAIL LIGHT BUT THE OLD ONES ALL FAIL ALL STOP WORKING . ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM IT DOESN'T BRAKE WHEN GOING A LOW SPEED WITHOUT GIVING IT GAS I HAVE TO PUMP N PUSH THE BRAKES ALL THE WAY DOWN OR GIVE IT A LIL GAS TO BE ABLE TO STOP OR BRAKE THE LIGHTS FLICKER OR STOP WORKING WHILE DRIVING STOP ALL THE TIME THE DEALER WANTS 1500-2000 TO REPLACE EM THE LIGHTS.. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED THEIR BAD WORKMANSHIP SHOULDN'T BE MINE OUR ANYBODY ELSE THAT HAS THIS VEHICLE BURDEN THIS IS NOT A CHEAP VEHICLE I PAID OVER $50,000 USED FOR ABOUT A YEAR.. I NEED YOUR HELP. THE BRAKES...

TAIL LAMPS, TAIL LAMPS TAIL LAMPS! NON SERVICEABLE LED ILLUMINATION BULB CIRCUIT IS FAULTY LEADING TO INTERMITTENT OPERATION. HAVING PART TIME BRAKE LIGHT IS AGAINST THE LAW AND MORE IMPORTANT TO ME, LEAVES MY FAMILY IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION. WEB SEARCH LEADS TO MANY MOTORIST HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS I. AS A PAYING TAXPAYER WE SHOULD NOT BE SOLD FAULTY GOODS THAT MAY HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES.
WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, LESS THAN 5 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND CAR WILL NOT COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, BUT WILL ROLL TO A STOP. THIS CAN HAPPEN TRYING TO PULL INTO A TIGHT SPOT OR WHILE IN A DRIVE-THRU OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR SIMPLY YOUR OWN GARAGE OR BACKING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY OR FOUR WAY STOP, THE LIST CAN GO ON AND ON. IT HAPPENS ON A DAILY BASIS. I TOOK TO THE CERTIFIED DEALER TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED BUT APPARENTLY THE RECALL WILL NOT WORK ON MY VEHICLE AS THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED WAS OCT 2018 AND HAD ABOUT 80K MILES ON IT. IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. IT IS A 2015 YUKON AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM. IT IS RIDICULOUS...
WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY TO WORK-RELATED CAMP, UPON ARRIVAL, CO-WORKERS INFORMED ME ONE OF MY BRAKE LIGHTS WAS OUT. BRAKELIGHT WORKED SPORADICALLY BEFORE COMPLETELY GOING OUT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS FINALLY BEING ABLE TO SHOW SERVICE DEPARTMENT. RESEARCHED CARGURUS AND NUMEROUS PEOPLE REPORTED THE CIRCUIT CRACKS AND EVENTUALLY BURNS OUT. DESIGN FLAW WHICH TURNS INTO A SAFETY ISSUE!!! RECALL IS NEEDED!!!
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
REAR BRAKE LIGHT ASSEMBLY FAILING TO LIGHT WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AND THERE IS NOT A NOTIFICATION TO THE DRIVER. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE FLAW WITH THE LED LIGHT CIRCUIT INSIDE THE ASSEMBLY. THERE IS NOT A LIGHT OUT NOTIFICATION SO THE DRIVER IS NOT AWARE THE BRAKE LIGHT HAS FAILED. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IS AN WELL KNOWN ISSUE ON THE 2015-2019 YUKON. THIS IS OCCURRING OFTEN AND GMC IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH SUPPLYING REPLACEMENTS BECAUSE THE DEMAND IS SO HIGH FROM THE FAILURE. GMC HAS ALSO RAISED THE PRICE OF THE BRAKE LIGHT BY 30% FROM $425 TO $675 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED IT WAS A HIGH FAILING ITEM AND WAS ON BACKORDER AND NOT SURE WHEN THEY WOULD GET ONE. DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITHOUT PROPER BRAKE LIGHTS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT LEGAL SO LEFT WITH LITTLE OPTION BUT...
WHILE SITTING STILL AT A DRIVE THROUGH, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AS IF IT HAD NO PRESSURE. HAD NO BRAKES! NO MATTER HOW HARD I STOOD ON PEDAL THE CAR WOULD NOT COME TO COMPLETE STOP WHEN ROLLING. BLEW THROUGH STOP SIGNS AND LIGHTS BECAUSE EVEN AT 10 MPH COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE FROM ROLLING. HAD JUST GOT OFF INTERSTATE DOING 70 MPH. DOWN HILL GRADE WAS IMPOSSIBLE. FOUND OUT THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE BY GM INVOLVING FAILURE OF VACUUM PUMP BOOSTER. MANY REPORTS, HOPEFULLY NOT MANY DEATHS CAUSED.
REAR BRAKE AND TAIL LIGHTS DO NOT WORK INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WORK AND SOMETIMES THEY DON'T.
BOTH BRAKE LIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY. IF YOU TAP HARD ON IT THEY SOMETIMES COME BACK ON BUT DON'T STAY ON. I TOOK TO GMC DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THEY'VE HAD A DOZEN YUKON'S IN RECENTLY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. DEALER INDICATED ISSUE IS FAULTY CIRCUIT BOARD THAT OVERHEATS CAUSING THE LIGHTS TO SHORT OUT. I'M OUT OF MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER LIGHTS. DEALER CHARGES $800 PER LIGHT (PART ONLY).
BRAKES DON'T WORK WELL WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW RATES OF SPEED. STOPPING REQUIRES BRAKES TO BE PRESSED TO THE GROUND AND STILL MAY NOT STOP. I HAVE ALMOST HAD SEVERAL ACCIDENTS EVEN AFTER HAVING THE ISSUE 'REPAIRED' LAST YEAR. I'VE HAD THE PROBLEM ASSESSED AT 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS. I HAVE HAD TO THROW MY CAR INTO PARK TO AVOID HITTING CARS IN FRONT OF ME. BRAKES FAIL WHILE DRIVING IN PLACES SUCH AS TRAFFIC JAMS, DRIVE THRU, SCHOOL PICK UP, ETC. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND FEAR THAT MY CHILDREN MAY BE HURT IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. STEERING BECOMES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE WHEN THE BRAKE ISSUES OCCUR. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 1.5- 2 YEARS. ALSO, THE TAIL LIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO OUT EVEN AFTER PAYING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPLACEMENTS.
BRAKE LIGHT FAILURE. FIRST ON DRIVER'S SIDE THEN MONTHS LATER ON PASSENGER SIDE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ARE POSTED ON THE INTERNET YET GM WILL NOT RECALL.
VERY HARD/ STIFF BRAKE-PEDAL. IT'S VERY HARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED. I ALREADY REPLACED THE BRAKE PADS AND THE PROBLEM STILL CONTINUES, IS A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARDS TO THE DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THAT CONDITION. THE HARD /STIFF PEDESTAL IS IN THE CITY AND THE HIGHWAY.
TAIL/BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN. TOOK VEHICLE IN TO GMC DEALER FOR REPAIR. LEFT TAIL LIGHT (ACTUALLY THE ENTIRE PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD) WAS REPLACED, RIGHT IS ON BACK ORDER. VEHICLE OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND EVEN THOUGH WE HAD AN EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THE WORK WAS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A FREQUENT ISSUE, I HAVE DISCOVERED ON LINE, ACCORDING TO MANY OWNERS OF GMC SUVS AND TRUCKS BETWEEN THE 2015 AND 2018 MODELS. COST OF REPAIR INCLUDING BOTH TAIL LIGHTS IS 1617.05. GMC SUPPORTED ME BY COVERING 600.00 OF THE COST SO I PAID 1017.05 OUT OF POCKET FOR 2 TAIL LIGHTS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED. I HAVE ONLY 24554 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT. ADDITIONAL TO THAT, THE 2 FRONT SEAT BELTS ARE FRAYING WHICH MAY LEAD TO WEAKNESS EVENTUALLY CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. I WANT GMC TO COVER...
VEHICLE FAILS TO STOP PROPERLY AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKES BECOME 'HARD' AND VEHICLE WILL ROLL TO A STOP. BRAKE LIGHTS APPEAR TO HAVE A SHORT AND WORK INTERMITTENTLY.
VEHICLE BRAKES FEEL LIKE THEY LOCK UP OFTEN I HAVE TO PUSH AS HARD AS I CAN, THE DASH SAYS "BRAKE ASSIST" OR SOMETHING WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE THEY LOCK UP. I'VE ALMOST HIT CARS SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THEY LOCK UP LIKE THIS AND THERES NOTHING I CAN DO. HAPPENS OFTEN AND VARYING SPEEDS 10-70!
PULLING INTO PARKING SPOT LOW SPEED BRAKING POWER WAS LOST.. HARD BRAKE PEDAL.
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.
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
DRIVING THE 2015 GMC YUKON, TRIED TO APPLY BRAKES, BRAKES WENT TO FLOOR AND NO BRAKING AVAILABLE. HAD TO JUMP A MEDIAN IN THE ROAD TO GET CAR STOPPED. CALLED DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE AWARE AND SAID DRIVE IT THERE, ALMOST WRECKED AGAIN PULLING INTO PARKING OT AT DEALERSHIP. YOU CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS, VERY DANGEROUS. BEING TOLD ITS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT GMC KNOWS ABOUT BUT WILL ONLY FIX IF ITS 70,000 OR 6 YEARS. NOT OK, FIX THE PROBLEM MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY UNTIL 100,000 MILES! VACUUM PUMP, VACUUM PUMP BELT, BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER AND VACUUM PIPE ALL NEED REPLACING!!!!!! MAKE A RECALL BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE HURT!!!!
BRAKES BECOME HARD TO PUSH WHEN GOING BELOW 5MPH AND DOESN'T WANT TO STOP WHEN PRESSED. SOMETIMES YOU PRESS BRAKES AND PUSH AS HARD AS YOU CAN AND IT JUST KEEPS MOVING UNTIL HE SLOWLY COMES TO A STOP. IT HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED OR EVEN AT A STOP AND YOU NEED TO BARELY MOVE FORWARD OR BACKWARD. MAKES IT HARD TO PARK IN TIGHT SPACES, MOVE IN TRAFFIC, AND IN A DRIVE-THRU. IT WILL HAPPEN MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD - THAT DOESN'T MATTER IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP AND BARELY MOVE AGAIN AND NEED TO STOP - BRAKES BECOME HARD AND IT STOPS ON ITS OWN TIME. I EVEN HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT ON DOWNWARD HILL AND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STARTED MOVING AND SUDDENLY STOPPED AGAIN AND MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO STOP....
HAD AN ACCIDENT IN 2018 AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND WHEN TRIED TO STOP AND PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL, IT WAS LIKE IT FROZE AND I WAS STILL MOVING. I WAS DRIVING 37MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ACCIDENT HAPPENED.
