2015 GMC Yukon Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“On february 10, 2016, we were driving on I-25 headed to arizona for a vacation. As we were just on the outskirts of santa fe, nm, we heard a loud explosion and it sounded like our entire car was blowing up. We were driving at 75 MPH and there were no other cars close to us. We started hearing glass bouncing around on the sunroof curtain and realized that it was our sunroof that had exploded. We pulled into the first exit in santa fe and checked the car and the glass appeared to have exploded upwards. …”

“Crack developed at edge of windshield at deicer strip. No apparrent cause such as rock damage. Gmc will not cover this repair under warranty. My wife's 2015 subaru outback received a warranty extension notice for this very defect stating that during the mfg process certain compounds used to adhere the deicer to the windshield created a condition where the glass became more susceptible to cracking following a minor wound. I'm quite certain this defect is the problem with my Yukon. Is it possible that subaru and Gmc windshields are provided by the same sub-contractor?”

“When driving at highway speeds in the rain, water pools on the drivers side and passenger side door window at the bottom front of the window blocking the driver's view of either side view mirror. I went to the dealer in carson city nv, and service director stated they had this problem with trucks since 2007 and there has been no solution.”

“Window appliqus on both sides of vehicle became loose and were flapping while driving. This was concurrent with a very noisy cabin, likened to the sound of a window being open while traveling at highway speeds. These appliques were previously replaced by dealer after incidentally being found loose. The noisy environment in cabin is very loud and distracting, causing driver and passengers to get headaches and causing driver to become distracted.”

“2015 Gmc Yukon xl had been in service less than 4 months, only 5000 miles. Driver was driving 65 MPH in moderate traffic on interstate 15 when the sunroof spontaneously shattered into tiny pieces. No airborne rocks or other debris was present that could have struck the window. About 4pm, weather was sunny, temperature mid 90's. The sunroof cover was closed which prevented most of the glass shards from entering the vehicle, but did scatter glass shards across the interstate.”
