Common Problems Yukon, Tahoe, Suburban and how to fix them 2015-2020

[@rboyett]

For the rear view mirror, take off that trim right above the mirror and there will be a t15 under there that’s loose, tighten it up and it’ll be good as new

[@supersamdotcom]

My rearview mirror is exactly the same. I drive a 2017 suburban flops around hard to adjust doesn’t make me happy lol also I have what I think are transmission issues 3-2 downshift but GM says it’s normal. My my motor mounts were replaced as well. I love my truck. Solid as a rock and unstoppable in the snow. I’m in Canada.

I have a 2015 GMC Yukon I bought brand new. I was even the first person to test drive. My ac went out, my vacuum line on my breaks went out, my circuit went out for my break lights. All before 85k miles.

[@jasonharris3873]

The vacuum pump for brakes are under a recall. The brake lights in the back were a 30 minute fix if you are handy. Lots of videos on how to fix it. AC has condenser issues where side connections. crack. It was also a recall but only up to 65k miles I believe. There is also an AC line that comes out of the compressor that has a weird bend that cracks. Had to replace both. I have a 2015 Denali for reference.

2015 suburban with 140k currently. Side detection modules. ( NY salt) replaced both rear modules twice. Rear harness replaced as well. When the modules and or harness get bad enough it will lead to so many codes you can't start the vehicle or when running won't allow you to place vehicle in gear. Wheel bearings both front bearings replaced twice. Drivers seat vibrating warning system left side quit working. Radio is bat shit crazy and randomly changes. Bad ground to engine. Bad battery fuse. Defrost wires come off rear window. Side door panels fell off on highway before tape could be applied. Wheel clear coat came off pitting chrome. Good things. No engine issues. No leaks anywhere No transmission issues Great space for all the minions Looks great, even when it leaves you stranded! 😂

How about whistling noise coming from the rear right D pillar at highway speeds 70+ especially if it’s windy. Do you know anything about it? I’ve tried just about everything and even had the dealer take the trim off and cut the excess urethane under the window so the trim would sit more flush. It’s still slightly higher than the window where the driver side is slightly lower than the window and no noise coming from it. Didn’t know if you had come across this or might have any insight.

We’ve had most of these issues on our 2015 Yukon. Ours uses 1+ courts of oil every 2k miles. We are lucky to make it to 5k miles before the “add engine oil” warning comes on. The solution from the dealership is to get the oil changed more often. We finally got them to replace rings under warranty and so far the oil consumption is worse... we will see. Their other solution was to trade it in... lol

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Sorry to hear that!

GAH. I have a dumptruck with 900000 miles that doesn't drank oil like that. Went to buy one today cash.. then watched some of these videos and comments.. Thanks for save garage man and everyone else.

[@thevally6127]

LS/LT engines consume oil you need to change the oil before 3500 miles. What rings did they replace exactly? piston? that won't stop oil consumption there may be a leak in rear main seal or even oil pan. They're notorious to wear after 100k miles

Try adding an oil catch can. Oil goes up thru PCV then goes into intake manifold

Ask about repairs. I have videos on a lot of things that go bad (tail lights, transmission temp sensor), trim pieces by the doors. They are just little things and then the suv is a great one! Some people complain about lifters in the engine going bad around 100k so just something to consider

[@amyhummer4066]

Thank you for posting this and all your videos! They have been very helpful in fixing my taillight and a couple other small issues. I was wondering if you have ran into any issue with your rear wiper? Mine makes this awful almost grinding sound when I turn it on. I don't think it's normal, but thought I'd ask before making an appointment with the dealership.

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It shouldn’t make a grinding noise but the wiper itself drags on the window and can make an unpleasant dry rubbing sound. It may have a bad motor for the wiper if it’s grinding

[@MrMyke1700]

What about the high pressure fuel pump that give a faulty code? O2 sensor code.

I've had so many issues with my 2015 (pretty much everything you listed) in addition to some rattling sound that I can't for the life of me figure out. I'll end up at the shop but considering you pretty much touched on all these common issues I figured I'd ask if you've heard weather what I described is another known issue & hoping a somewhat simple fix? I found a service bulletin dated February 2020 mentioning a ticking, rattle and or buzzing heard from inside passenger compartment, possible fuel leak. On Yukon & Yukon XL 2015-2020 models

How about mentioning the starter and the sqeak at intial startup. Sounds like belts or tensioner but it's not. It's annoying when you pay $70,000. Great video, thanks for sharing. Follow up it's the exhaust flap that chirps on intial startup 🙄

[@noebaltazar6134]

Did you figure out what the squeak was? We just got a 2016 Suburban and it squeaked when I turned it on WTF

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

It could be a speed limiter, but if that’s the case it should cut off the same speed every time. Maybe it triggers it the first time and limits it now. If so a hand held tuner will take it off www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077J5FFMC/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=2004047-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B077J5FFMC&linkId=3d879c8126cebc20070c8cb2f40814f8

Great video! I’m curious to know more about trans slippage. I have a 2015 Yukon Denali and as I roll into a stop sign and accelerate out, I feel a slight jerk in the transmission. Its as if the trans hesitates and then catches first gear. Is this the issue you experienced? Does changing the trans temp sensor and wiring harness fix that? Or is that a trans fluid issue?

[@dannyjohnsonsgarage]

Yes, for my situation the new harness helped as well as the specific fluid (shown in the video description of the videoI will post). Many others have also had better luck with the new fluid. This is for the 8 speed transmission kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqmklotsmb-VeaM

Sometimes the angle of the fuel pump nozzle effects and triggers the pump to turn off. See if it happens at other pumps or try holding the handle at different angles
