“Brakes do not work at low speeds. Gmc told me that the parts had been bought back by GM and there was no way to fix it 8 months ago and now they state there is a special warranty added except my mileage is over the warranty! Brakes either are hard as a brick to push or/and don't work at all. I was told to rev the engine when going slow or backing up in order to make the brakes function properly. That was the advice for a mother of 4 children. Ac is also blowing hot air.”

“The front collision avoidance system does not work. I can set a 1-3 bar alert on the steering wheel, however in the 3 months I've owned the car and trying different maneuvers at different speeds, I don't get a an audible nor visual red light warning that I've experienced on a newer chevy impala I drive. The dash info center below the gauges will change from a green semi-circular 3 bar system to a yellow if I come within the 3 car lengths set of another vehicle while driving. …”

“My driver side LED taillight went out. You can not just change a bulb or the LED strip. It requires the whole assembly be replaced. My vehicle is 2 years old. It should not gone out after 2 years, let alone it being an LED which is supppse to last much much longer than that. I was told while driving, it would go on them off. It was dusk and I was driving on a surface street with lots of traffic. That is not safe. I have multiple friends and family members who have also had this problem. The internet threads have many more complaints as well.”

“I leased a 2016 yukon denali xl on 9/15/15. It has two major problems. 1. Buffeting/pressure noise - a noise as if a window is cracked, except it's not cracked. This occurs at speeds from 24mph and up and causes ears to pop and is noticeable to virtually every passenger I have had. 2. Whole-truck vibration - occurs between 70-80mph in entire vehicle. Wheel replacements, tire replacements, road-force balancing, driveshaft replacement, driveshaft balancing , etc....nothing has fixed it. I have driven 13 2016 yukon, Yukon Xl, tahoe and suburbans. Every single one has the buffeting issues. …”
