First year model peace of mind

I’m sure it’ll be nice, but we’ll have to see what the next Denali will bring. GM has a lot of skin in the game always, but even more so this time around. I don’t think they’ll disappoint and I bet they hit it out of the park.

No, it’s business in a capitalist economy, and competition is increasing. Capitalism is awesome!!! And GM is a great company that works well in this system.

NW North Dakota. We’ve had a cold late winter this year. I’m ready for summer!

NW North Dakota? Humans still live up there? By choice??
Aren't temps there below freezing from about Labor Day through Memorial Day!

Except for when GM falls apart, goes bankrupt and needs the govt to save it.

And then GM returns such huge gains that the government makes money on them. GM was a fantastic investment for the government.

Haha, you’re spending Friday night, after a long week of work, relaxing on the GM forum and researching all different makes and models of cars and trucks on the web. We here are all similar in many ways.

To follow up with my tail light post. I had finished doing the exhaust flapper mod, and when I started the Yukon to back it out of the garage, I noticed the passenger tail light was out. I hit it a few times with my hand and it would intermittently work. The LED tail lights are a sealed unit and a replacement is $500+..

After an online search, it appears this is an issue with all 2015+ Yukon models. What is happening is the thin metal that connects each LED on the sealed inside of the light is cracking. I pulled my passenger tail light off, melted the plastic with a soldering iron around each area that is known for the cracking issues and found the bottom side was completely cracked and the upper side was starting to form a crack. Even though the driver side was still working, I did the same and sure enough, cracks had formed on that as well. It wasn't if, but when it would fail.

Some people were soldering a piece of wire as a jumper to each side. I found it easier and cleaner to just run a bead of solder up the original piece without adding a piece of wire. I completely spaced taking before photos, so the first photo I borrowed from online, showing the exact same crack I had. The rest of the photos are mine, show the solder repair, as well as closing them up. I just used Gorilla Tape and silicon on the seams of the tape. They work great now!

If this is a prevalent defect, has anyone thought to file complaints with NHTSA at safercar.gov? This way, NHTSA can document defects and determine if a recall is warranted for a safety issue.
