Description of the problem | Rear brake light assembly failing to light when brakes applied and there is not a notification to the driver. This is a manufacture flaw with the led light circuit inside the assembly. There is not a light out notification so the driver is not aware the brake light has failed. This is a safety issue and is an well known issue on the 2015-2019 yukon. This is occurring often and gmc is having problems with supplying replacements because the demand is so high from the failure. Gmc has also raised the price of the brake light by 30% from $425 to $675 not including labor. I called the dealer and they informed it was a high failing item and was on backorder and not sure when they would get one. Driving the vehicle without proper brake lights is a safety concern and not legal so left with little option but to stop driving the yukon. |
