Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My Gmc youkon denali has brake lights that are known to dealers to fail. Yet there is not a recall. I looked on the inter net and saw that there has been this problem since 2015 to 2018. Because of a joint that was soldered instead of a wire. I know why when I brought it in for recall that the service man looked at my stop lights.”
NHTSA complaint #11195738, filed 2019-04, 21,000 miles“There was a recall for low break failure it was recall 19v645. I had this done last year and today I almost hit a car in the drive through side the brakes are still doing the same thing going to the floor. They need to replace the faulty vacuum pump. I experience this while backing out and stopping at slow speeds.”
NHTSA complaint #11353476, filed 2020-09, 90,000 miles“Within the last year on my 2015 my AC compressor has gone out, radio screen quit working, brake pump/booster faulty, and now rear brake light quit working. All seem to be very common in this year model. My car has less than 70000 miles on it!! Gm is either doing a crappy job on their $60000 vehicles or a recall needs to be done.”
NHTSA complaint #11193726, filed 2019-04, 68,000 miles“Brake pedal suddenly got rock hard when I was trying to slow down, our truck just kept going forward, I was helpless in that situation and really thought that accident is unavoidable because I was getting closer and closer to another vehicle, after pressing brake pedal many more times I was able to stop our Yukon literally one inch from a car in front of me”
NHTSA complaint #11115892, filed 2018-08, 42,500 miles“Brakes are unresponsive and stuff brake pedals at low speeds. While driving at very low speeds the brakes will not engage and stop the vehicle. I was pulling into a parking stop and the brakes would not respond unless I stomped on them going less than 5mph. It happens often with the same scenario. Driving at a very low rate of speed and my vehicle will not stop when the brakes are pressed.”
