Tail Light Switch problems of the 2016 GMC Yukon - part 1

I see almost 200 complaints and nothing has been done? not sure the point of this website, but, I'm going to put my 2 cents in. My 2016 Yukon denali passanger brake light has gone out, like many, many of other people. Why isn't this a recall? obviously, there is a manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed. After many videos I have watched I see that the circit board comes apart and can't be repaired but only replaced, at a extremly high price. I've also seen many tail light on these Yukons work off and on, so, randomly they can not work at any time and possibly get you rear ended. How do I file a civil action complaint to have GMC address this complaint and resolve this issue? please advise.

Rear tail lights inoperable and brake lights not operating. When I asked dealer about problem they said gm had extended the warranty on the tail light assemblies since they new there was a problem. I was never notified of them extending the warranty. Vehicle does not have any rear lights working which is extreme safety hazard.

Faulty tail lights. Tail light does not consistently stay lit. This faulty light is going to cause an accident.

Rear tail lights (brake lights) work intermittently. There is a "special coverage adjustment" but it is set for a maximum number of miles or time (6-years). I have a 2016 GMC Yukon xl. The passenger's side was replaced in 2018 and now the driver's side is defective/inoperable. But because we are at 96000 they won't repair.

Tail lights/brake lights /signal lights go on and go off danger of being hit from the rear dealer and independent service has confirmed defect and say it is common vehicle has not been inspected be the police or insurance there was no warning lamps or messages first discover 2 years ago when drivers would pull up and say the lights were out. . . . . . We would stop and look they would come back on.

Driver side tail light went out, when you pull the light out it starts to work, replace the light back into the car and it dies again. This seem to be a issues with a lot of people. Its very costly to have to keep replacing led tail lights!.

Right rear tail light / brake light quit working. Vehicle has 74,200 miles. Whole tail light assembly has to be replaced. This is a $800 dollar repair for a defective part that gm knows is defective and a safety issue. How is it a vehicle manufacturer can sell a vehicle with a defective part? this is a sealed part that the owner cannot repair on their own. This issue is not due to owner neglect or misuse but manufacturer's defect.

Passenger side tail light is out and could potentially be hazardous when operating vehicle. This is a huge safety concern and a law that every motor vehicle shall be equipped with at least two working tail lamps. Gm has manufactured inadequate and faulty parts that one do not comply with the law that vehicles should be equipped with at least 2 working tail lamp and could cause serious harm to the customers whose vehicles are equipped with the defective parts. Many customers have reported concern but gm has failed to find resolution for the safety of their customers. The product has not been recalled and will only be replaced by gm under special coverage which has expired in most 2015-2016 vehicles. Defective parts need to be re-called for the 2015-2016 Yukon vehicles and replaced by products that are safer and non hazardous to customers before someone is seriously injured.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that the rear tail an brake lights failed without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where one set was the tail and brake lights were replaced. The contact also stated that the second set was also replaced with a period of two weeks. The contact called wiesner Buick GMC dealer, 1645 interstate 45 n, conroe, TX 77304 and mention the failure, the dealer informed the contact that they was aware of the failure. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. But was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000. Aw.

Tl-the contact owns a 2016 GMC Yukon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, a police officer advised her that the passenger side tail light was out. The vehicle was driven to the dealer edwards motors, 1825 veterans pkwy s, moultrie, GA 31788, they determined that the passenger side tail assembly had to be preplaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 73,200. Bp.

This can be researched by hundreds of videos on youtube. Poor design causes the metal to break inside the led rear tail lights which makes them inoperable. These are unsafe when these go out and it is very common. General motors does warranty their lights nor is there a recall. This is a costly repair and a safety issue.

My rear tail lights stopped working and the dealership is charging $800 to replace the module. Previously I had a 2016 Yukon xl and the same thing happened around 40k miles. My sister-in-law also has a 2016 Yukon xl and one of her tail lights did the same thing. After searching online this seems to be a common problem with 2015 and 2016 Yukon xl models and gm should be replacing these parts at no cost to these thousands of people experiencing this problem when the car isn't even 5 years old.

Both tail lights and break lights have stopped working. They are more than $700 each and gm knows about the problem as they have no lights available, they are on backorder for weeks. You can find a fix online by resoldering a metal piece that can temporarily fix the problem.

Tail lights suddenly stopped working. Called the dealer and was told $800. To replace. The dealership told me everyone is having this problem why is it not a recall? I researched the problem online and everybody is complaining about this issue.

I have been notified on two occasions on the road that my tail light was out. When I was able to check them, both tail lights lit up then turned on. It must be an intermittent issue.

Right tail light went put, took it to get fixed. They said it was the circuit board and I had to pay $900 to get it fixed. The dealership said they have had a ton of the circuit board replacements and didn't know why gm didn't do a recall. Now, my left side circuit board is out and needs to be replaced.

Tail light went out and is a known and common issue within 2 to 4 years of vehicle ownership (often both sides go out). In my case, the driver side tail light went out. Total cost for me was $850. There are many comments regarding this online. Typical cost to repair is $700 to $800 at dealership. Only other option to reduce cost is to mail out part, but this leaves you without a vehicle for several days for repair and delivery time.

The tail light stopped working and cannot change out the led bulbs, it is a break some where the the wiring.

2016 GMC Yukon tail light not working. Started not working for a day or two and then worked again and then quit completely. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.

I was notified by another driver my passenger rear tail light was out. There is no notification on the dashboard to alert drivers. The next day the light was working. I continued to check it periodically and figured it was a fluke. I was stopped again while driving that the light was out roughly a week later. After looking into repair the cost is ridiculous $650-$800+ and it appears to be a widely known issue. I was actually in a parking lot and saw a vehicle exactly like mine same light out. Not sure why lights are going out in a three year old vehicle just hitting 40000 miles.

My tail light is out only on the brake part the dealers said I have to replace the hole light ive had my car no more than 2 years running well just the light problem the dealer said it happens alot but it was not under warranty they want to charge 600 dlls I think they should fix their issue an not have people spending this much for something they know they should fix.

Both rear tail lights are out. The replacment for these are over 800. 00 and gm has know about this for years. Please help, as I cannot get my car inspected with the lights being out.

Internal circuitry of passenger tail light cracked in multiple locations causing the led's that provide running and stop functions of the light to fail. The car was not wrecked or damaged in any way. Appears as if metal fatigue from bumpy roads perhaps causes the circuitry to fail at at least 2 weak points in the metal circuit. The problem was pointed out by a trailing policeman while stopped at a red light, he kindly notified me that the entire light was out.

My wife was driving down a major road and a person pulled next to her at a stop to tell her that her brake lights were working only part of the time. Gm had just serviced my vehicle and didn't catch it, and upon researching the issue, it is a known faulty design of the tail light assembly. The led brake light starts intermittently failing at the 2 year point, leading to drivers following drivers to not know that the leading vehicle is stopping. This is a common issue and the only response from gm is to make the customer buy a new $700 brake light assembly. The issue is so common that multiple companies have started brake light repair services and multiple youtube videos exist to walk individuals through the process of repairing their own brake lights. The cost of the repair is so steep that I hesitate to get the problem fixed, and though gm reportedly has developed a replacement light assembly that corrects the fault, they are not taking responsibility for the defective brake light assemble that these vehicles come off the assembly line with. The major danger is that we drive from the front of the vehicle and likely do not know our brake lights are intermittently failing--since gm cannot even catch this when they do service on vehicles (mine had been in the shop for an oil change a few weeks before the brake issue), then they are leaving a lot of customers driving without brake lights to avoid the cost of the repair even though they approved a faulty design.

Left rear led brake/tail light went out at approximately 43,000 miles. In doing research this is a common problem in GMC Yukon. It seems to be just after warranty expires as mine did. The cost to replace is anywhere around $800. 00. I have no choice but to get it replaced as it is a safety issue. Research also says these led's should be lasting much longer than they are on this make and model. I feel with the numbers so high GMC really needs to look into a recall and get this problem fixed or help compensate some of the cost. Also, this part is not readily available so we go weeks with no brake or tail light until it can be repaired. This is so not safe!!.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 GMC Yukon cl. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds or stationed while depressing the brake pedal, the rear brake lights intermittently illuminated or does not illuminate at all. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the contact was informed that the tail light assembly board was loose. The vehicle vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic test or repairs. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,348. Dr.

Both led tail lights started flickering and failed within a month of each other. The mechanic said this was a known issue with these lights and that the circuit board failed.

Driver side rear brake and tail light and turn signal works intermittently. Sometimes it works fine, some times it flickers, and sometimes it it totally out. This issue happens randomly. I have seen it while parked, and while going down the road.

Brake lights faulty. Have had both passenger and driver's side replaced. Drivers side is now shorting out again. Tons of owners of the Yukon line have had the exact same problem with faulty tail lights. Law enforcement thinks it is a major safety issue which it is! these tail lights work intermittently or not at all!.

The led lights on the left rear tail light are defective. They flicker or do not work at all. The vehicle has less than 43,000 miles. To fix the issue requires replacing the entire tail light at a cost of more than $800. It should be a recall on a defective part.

The right side tail light has stopped working. It's going to cost $850 to replace the light. This vehicle only has 42k miles on it. This should not be a problem with a $58k vehicle. Researching the issue shows that this is a huge problem. So much so that there is not a tail light to be had for my vehicle! there is a shortage from all that have went out.

At less than 3 years old and 60k miles, the following has occurred at different times up until now: overall electrical malfunction including display illumination failure (display goes completely black and/or dim while driving - cannot see speedometer etc. This has happened multiple times while driving on both the highway and surface streets, including daytime and nighttime), audio/entertainment system glitches (radio volume changes to and gets stuck randomly on highest volume setting (was never even set to this level) while driving, causing sudden distraction/disruption), tail light malfunction (intermittently stops working both left and right sides), and now the motor to the sunroof has died (occurred while driving and at a moment when it was necessary to close for safety on the highway. ) the transmission is defective (for the second time - off shifts and downshifts unexpectedly while driving at both lower and higher speeds. Has happened on the highway requiring me to pull over and restart the vehicle. ) these incidents have been occurring for the past several months, but because they have been intermittent it has been hard to pinpoint when to bring in to the dealership for inspection.

The right tail light and brake light failed at only 44,000 miles. Fails to work in all phases of operation.

Drivers' side brake light/tail light failure at 44k miles. GMC refuses to fix under warranty (even with extended warranty purchased) despite thousands of people having this issue. Dealer quoted $1,000 to fix just the one side and admitted this is a known issue. I was stopped by another driver at a red light to inform me of the issue - he said he nearly hit me because of it and was scared.

Tail light stopped worked, coming back on intermittently. $700+ fix from dealer.
