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.

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.

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??

All break lights stopped working at the same time on both sides of vehicle. Turn signal, back up lights, blinkers all still work. I was told the entire break light had to be replaced for a cost of apx 2K. It seems that this is a very common problem and the cost of repair is astronomical.
