36 Body problem of the 2015 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 04/18/2020

While driving approximately 60 mph on a deserted flat stretch of road surrounded by farmland, my sunroof suddenly exploded. The screen was open to provide light but the glass was shut. No other cars were nearby nor were any hills where a rock could fly from. It was just sudden. It sounded like a loud explosion and suddenly glass was flying all over the car. Fortunately, I didn't crash the car. Myself and my son who was in the passenger seat, we were both covered in glass.

Was quoted $5,195. 30 to repair and gm indicates they will only cover 30% of the amount. My car has always been serviced at sheehan Buick/GMC. Even contacted the gm customer care center and would not budge.

Middle row dvd screen is black and not working. Rear brake lights working off and on. Horrible loud squealing sound under the hood.

47 Body problem of the 2015 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 02/28/2019

Faulty, poorly made tail lights that need to be entirely replaced (not just the bulb) at more than $700 each. When spending so much on a car, this is literally insane not to be covered under any warranty. GMC drivers deserve more than this poorly made led light system. The plastic window trim pieces also detach due to cheap plastic clips. I've had to literally use double sided tape and glue to stick them back on a $70k+ car. It's hundreds of dollars to replace pieces that are literally part of the body of the vehicle.

55 Body problem of the 2015 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 05/12/2018

There is a water leak in the roof, on the driver side, right above the a-pillar. This has happened on multiple occasions during a heavy rain storm. The leak occurs regardless of whether or not the vehicle is in motion. After taking it to the dealership for service, I was informed there was a manufacturer defect which could cause some gapping in the vehicle body roof ditch driver side, which may allow water to leak through. I am concerned for my family's safety as this situation could create mold and mildew in the interior liner. Also, it could potentially lead to a very dangerous situation if the gaps/voids in the body become larger, allowing water to leak through at a greater velocity during high speeds or on the freeway. I was also informed that this is a very common issue on multiple vehicles from gm during the selected model year. Dealer attempted to service vehicle multiple times but there is still a water leak.

56 Body problem of the 2008 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 04/08/2018

57 Body problem of the 2003 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 04/07/2018

I live in florida- it was approx 8 am, sitting outside drinking coffee on my porch. Vehicle had been parked since prior afternoon and was locked (alarm engaged). Suddenly, my rear window spontaneously �exploded�. There was glass everywhere both inside and outside of the vehicle. After researching what could've caused something like this to happen, there are innumerable reports of this happening to other GMC owners without any plausible explanation. This is a very concerning issue as glass flew everywhere in and around my vehicle and it is by pure luck that my 15 year old daughter and usually at least 1-2 of her friends, along with my one year old daughter, who naturally, is in the rear of the vehicle. Myself or anyone else merely walking by the vehicle could've been injured just walking by. Had someone been near my vehicle in a public place, I. E. Grocery store parking lot, etc. They could've been injured by the shards of glass that shot out and landed 4+ feet from the vehicle, leaving me at risk of further civil actio and possible suit. I am also a protective investigator for the state of florida and often times have other children in my vehicle. This is both a huge civil, and most importantly, safety concern. This is not okay and is not a fluke incident based upon so many reported incidents from so many other GMC owners. GMC refuses to help. A recall on these rear windshields are a must and I cannot believe that one is not been issued in all of the years that this has been happening to people. This is not okay.

58 Body problem of the 2016 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 04/02/2018

Water leak due to bad front windshield seal, water leak through gps antenna, four wheel drive module was bad, dvd player stopped working, and lastly a horrible vibration that occurred around 77-83 mph. To the point the vehicle did not feel safe to handle. Trim on the b post kept coming loose. This all occurred in over a years period of time. This was my second vehicle because I traded in my 2015 tahoe because it was having many of the same issues and more. Gm did repair all issues other than the shaking, they wanted me to buy tires and after reading other complaints on the shaking I refused, the tires only had 25,800ish miles on them.

60 Body problem of the 2016 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 03/01/2018

High frequency antenna leaking water. This is preventing the vehicle's onstar system from accurately determining the vehicle's location; it has disabled vehicle's compass, navigation, and xm radio systems; the red onstar led indicator has turned on ; and water is leaking into the interior passenger compartment. A recall was issued for the 2015 Yukon xl for this same exact problem. However, I am having the same exact problem with my 2016 model. I have attached the recall issued for the 2015 models.

61 Body problem of the 2017 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 02/26/2018

Upon driving vehicle water was observed to drip from upper left hand drivers compartment onto driver. The weather had previously been raining. Roof fabric was saturated and water was actively falling. The dealer confirmed the antenna assembly on the roof was a known failure mode for this hazard. Water can passively migrate through interior column. Vehicle had not been through any mechanical or automated washing system. Vehicle had not been subject to any external cause. Failure was caused by faulty manufacturing assembly process.

63 Body problem of the 2014 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 01/01/2018

My complaint is the dash on the the 2014 Yukon is cracking at the airbag and causing the dash to flap around in the middle near the speaker. For a 60k dollar vehicle, this seems like the mfg should replace due to quality. The dash could cause airbag puncture and possible fragments in an accident. I'm not feeling very safe with this product.

70 Body problem of the 2013 GMC Yukon

Failure Date: 10/13/2017

I had my grandchild strapped in her car seat in the back seat of my Yukon. However, as we made a stop for me to remove her from the car, I pulled the outside door handle and the entire handle came off for no apparent reason. This was alarming to me because, what if this had been an emergency situation and I had to immediately rescue her from the vehicle. When I went to the dealership the service person informed me this happens a lot where the door handle breaks, and it appears they were 'possibly engineered inappropriately'. They assured me they could fix it but in order to do so, I must pay the deductible. I refused to pay any fees since this is something that happens with these vehicle frequently and refused to let them fix it. I called GMC and they have yet to provide a resolution, with the exception of saying I must pay the deductible. My husband also has a Yukon 2004 and one of his door handles is also broken. We never use the back passenger doors, unless there are special circumstances like with my grandchild. My concern is why should the consumers have to pay the cost for a faulty door handle being engineered inappropriately. I pray that someone does not get trapped inside during a vehicular accident or fire, because the door handles are not guaranteed to open and will break easily. I need to know if it is anyway GMC and their engineers can be made to do the necessary repairs at no charge to the consumers and correct their mistake.
