The brake lights in the 2016 GMC Yukon vehicle failed. The design requires a whole light assembly replacement. The dealer quoted $750 per light. The problem seems to be widespread and caused by faulty light assembly.

2016 GMC Yukon has only 40K miles, yet brake lights on rear driver side are out. Hundreds of complaints online re:same issue; cost to repair is $650-$800. This shouldn't be an issue with this age of the vehicle. Concern is the passenger side will go out next and cost another $650-$800.

Rear tail light works intermittently causing a risk of being rear ended. Through research this appears to be an issue with many vehicles of this make and model. GMC also charges an outrageous price for the replacement at $1000 from the dealer.
- Lawton, OK, USA
The rear tail/brake lights on the GMC Yukon series have a defect that keep causing the running lights and brake lights to work intermittently. I had an entire new light installed and the same issue occurred within a few thousand miles. GMC is aware of this problem and has yet to issue a recall for these defective lights. Obviously this is an important safety feature of the vehicle in order to alert other drivers of mere presence, braking, and turning actions.

The led tail lights go off and on and the only way to repair is to replace the whole unit

Passenger side led brake light failed at 60000 miles. $800 dealer repair quote to replace. No manufacture support.
- Huntersville, NC, USA
Passenger side brake light not working. Yukon has under 40,000 miles and is meticulously cared for. I have read many other complaints online and this seems to be a quality issue. There is no easy fix and a complete replacement is required. This is a safety issue given it is a brake light. Brake lights should not malfunction in this manner. A recall is certainly in order as failure to signal braking can be a risk for myself as the driver and others.

Right rear brake light assembly failed. It is a sealed assembly and cannot be repaired without breaking the sealed/sonic welded assembly. Replacement assembly is $700+ dollars.

I drive 2016 GMC Yukon, and the entire tail light on the passenger rear side has gone out on it. I read about several people with the same year and model truck having this issue. I feel like GMC should do a recall because my vehicle isn't three years old yet.

The rear tail light is not working properly. Around December 17, 2018 I was driving my vehicle on the city street and highway when several people advise me my light was out and not working. I check it once arrived at home and it was working properly and didn't problem. And a week later same issue from people pulling me over to advise me my tail light was out. Around January 10, 2019, I went in to hutchinson auto mall GMC dealer and they advise me everything is working properly and doesn't see a problem, and advise me to bring back should I experience the outage again. I inspect vehicle as well and seem no problem. 23 January 19 same problem and went back to dealer and they discover the outage and advise me the led tail light strip was out and need to replace the assembly. It appears their seem to be a wiring issue where the light is and out. To keep from a serious problem or fire. Request immediately investigation. The technician also advise me this seems to be a common problem.
