Description of the problem | The whole back tail light had to be replaced after failing. Poor design and a common problem on the 2015-2017 gmc yukons. There is a common area that breaks. Not only a big expense but also a large waste of material considering the whole unit has to be replaced. Cost is over $800. 00 and the dealer buys back the old light for $50 seems a bit suspicious by gmc. These lamps are a sealed unit and were never designed to be repaired. As designed, if there is a problem, the lamp is replaced as a complete and very expensive unit. More can be found here: https://www. Carcomplaints.
