2016 Gmc YUKON DENALI - Ratings, Complaints and Recalls

"the rear taillights both went out due to a design issue with the led circuit board - where the connections on the board crack and cause the lights to fail"

"passenger taillight goes out. replaced it twice now and now i have to do it again a 3rd time. they know of this issue but have done nothing to fix it or offer anything to help cover cost"

"both rail lights went out at the same time. no reason whatsoever"

"left tail light flickers, after reading internet comments learned that tail light board connections are made of very flimsy metal material, they crack with normal vehicle operations. led lamps are fine but the power connections to the lamps breaks therefore it renders taillights useless. replacement cost of those lamps are $700-$800 parts alone. on the internet there is some information i’ll attach that pdf"

"passage tail, brake light works when it want. one day it work the next day it don’t! i’m scared that i will get pulled by the police or somebody hit me in the back."

"the passenger brake light intermittently stops working."

"the drivers side rear brake lights stopped working. gm did a warranty extension ( that admits an issue).but ours just expired.. this is an $800 to $1000 repair that owners should not have to pay.. gm refuses to cover this expense. this is an absolute saftey issue. of course, any law enforcement officer will agree as they will write a safety violation ticket (as they should) i understand that owners are responsible for all maintenance of their vehicles, but this issue is a flaw in design. most owners ( like us) can’t afford to pay this outrageous price for a simple break light replacement. as the entity of government that oversees the manufacture of these vehicles, there must be a safety recall!! honestly, i am disappointed that no safety recall hasn’t been ordered for this issue. this problem is going to result in many many rear end accidents. please fix this and save lives. thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).”"
