What owners wrote
The GMC yukon models in all trims, have faulty LED strips that cause the brake lights to fail on the left, and right brake light assembly. The frustrating part is it works intermittently, and when it's off a slight tap will momentarily bring it back on for the duration of the jolt. This leads me to believe that it's faulty connection inside the seals brake light assembly. There are thousands of complaints online on owner forums of GMC yukon's .
Rear passenger tail light failure. Tail light fails prematurely without any means to warn driver short of direct observation. Problem known to GMC given high number of failures and complaints of premature failures. Tail light is expensive to replace.
