ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER BECOMING ERRATIC ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. NOTHING SEEMS TO FIX IT AND IT IS REALLY A SAFETY ISSUE. AS A MEMBER OF THE US MILITARY AND A FIREFIGHTER I FEEL I PUT MY LIFE ON THE LINE ENOUGH. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL WEB-SITES WITH LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS ON MANY DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES (MOSTLY TRUCKS AND SUV'S). THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT AND SUES GM OR IS THAT WHAT IT TAKES FOR A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY TO GET THE POINT. I HAD THIS PART QUOTED TO ME AT $480 AND DON'T FEEL IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS CONSIDERING ALL THESE OTHER PEOPLES PROBLEMS. *TR UPDATED 10/10/07 *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ALL GAUGES IN DASH ARE NOT WORKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE EARLY 2006. TOOK TO THE DEALER TO FIX, BUT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WHEN I WOULD TAKE BACK TO THE DEALER OF COURSE IT WAS WORKING AGAIN AND DIDN'T NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. NOW HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, IE. 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 DAYS. THE OTHER DAY WE LEFT THE HOUSE AND NOTHING WAS WORKING, HOWEVER WHEN WE LEFT TO GO HOME THE GAUGES WERE WORKING AGAIN. THEN 2 DAYS LATER EVERYTHING WAS WORKING JUST FINE, THEN WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN NOTHING WAS WORKING, BUT BY THE NEXT MORNING EVERYTHING WAS WORKING JUST FINE, UNTIL TODAY AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN:TRANSFER CASE (4-WHEEL DRIVE)
2003 GMC DENALI FRONT TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN IT STOPPED, SO I DROVE ON HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING I DROPPED IT OFF AT MY PERSONAL REPAIR SHOP.

SO HE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO SOMEONE HE KNEW THAT WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD REPAIRED SEVERAL DENALI'S WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM JUST THIS YEAR. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC YUKON XL. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE CONTACT DECELERATED, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 120 MPH. HE STATED THAT ON SOME OCCASIONS THE SPEEDOMETER WILL DISPLAY 0 MPH AND ON OTHER OCCASIONS IT FAILS TO DISPLAY ANYTHING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE STEEPER MOTOR AND STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENTAL PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENT WILL COST $600.

EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE: 2002 YUKON 73,000 MILES. NO PREVIOUS EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM. FAILURE/CONSEQUENCES: 2002 YUKON: I STARTED MY CAR AND ABS LIGHT STAYED ON. WHILE DRIVING, I COULD FEEL AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION THROUGHOUT MY CAR. (WITH MY TWO SMALL CHILDREN, WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ON THE RIGHT OF WAY. I CUT OFF MY CAR (REMOVED KEY OUT OF IGNITION) AND THE CAR SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS STILL ON. CORRECT THE PROBLEM: I CALLED MY GMC DEALER IN AUSTIN TEXAS WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT HE HAS SEEN MANY INCIDENTS SUCH AS THIS. HE INDICATED THAT IF I LEFT THE ABS MOTOR RUNNING, THAT MY BATTERY WOULD DIE AND/OR THE MOTOR WOULD RUIN. SO, HE INSTRUCTED ME TO RAISE THE HOOD AND REMOVE THE 60AMP ABS FUSE. BY DOING SO, THE VIBRATION/MOTOR STOPPED. HE SAID TO BRING IT INTO THE GARAGE FOR SERVICE. HIS INITIAL GUESS WAS THAT IT WAS THE ABS MODULE OR EBCM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER IN WARRANTY, HE ESTIMATED THAT IT COULD COST ANYWHERE BETWEEN $1100.00-1900.00 DOLLARS. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE MANY 1999-2004 GM SUVS AND TRUCKS WHICH HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I AM REQUESTING THAT A RECALL BE PLACED FOR THESE MODULES. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
ON 8-26-07 WHILE DRIVING HOME THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED VEHICLE MANUAL. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE WE COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A MOTOR OR FAN NOISE RUNNING. THINKING IT WAS PROBABLY THE AC FAN WE WENT IN THE HOUSE FOR THE EVENING. THE NEXT MORNING WE COULD STILL HEAR THE NOISE AND FOUND OUT MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. JUMP STARTED VEHICLE AND TOOK IT IN TO MECHANIC TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC SEARCH AND WAS TOLD WE NEEDED TO REPLACE ABS CONTROL MODULE. AFTER RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET FOUND OUT THERE HAD BEEN SEVERAL RECALLS FOR THIS, BUT NOT WITH MY VIN #. HAVE CALLED GM CORP TO REPORT THIS AND AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR BACK.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
I BOUGHT 2007 DENALI ON 8/15 AND IT HAD TO GO IN FOR REPAIR 8/17 BECAUSE THE ENGINE HOT/AC TURNED OFF CAME ON. GOT THE CAR BACK 8/20 AT 7PM AND 8 AM THE NEXT MORNING 8/21 THE SAME MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE DASH BOARD. I WAS TOLD IT WAS OK TO DRIVE UNTIL I COULD GET IT IN FOR REPAIR AGAIN ON 8/22. TRIED TO START THE CAR ON 8/22 AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AT ALL AND WOULD LIKE TO GET A BRAND NEW TRUCK AS SINCE I AM PAYING $48,000 FOR THE TRUCK. *TR

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
I HAVE 2005 GMC YUKON XL THAT I PURCHASED ON THE YEAR END SALE. SO I HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 1 1/2 YEARS SO FAR. SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE A STONE HIT MY WINDSHIELD. I NOTICED THAT AFTER A FEW DAYS AND TEMPERATURE CHANGES A CRACK STARTED TO GROW FROM IT. THAT IS PRETTY TYPICAL RIGHT? YES AND NO. YOU SEE THIS IS MY FOURTH NEW CAR AND SIXTH ALL TOGETHER. IN THE PAST I'VE HAD STONES HIT MY WINDSHIELD BUT NO CRACKS. HAVE I BEEN LUCKY OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE. AFTER A WHILE I STARTING SEEING OTHER YUKONS, ESCALADES AND SUBURBANS WITH MULTIPLE CRACKS AND CRATERS AND ASKED THE OWNERS QUESTIONS. THEY ALL SEEMED TO BE OK WITH IT BUT I'M NOT. I ASK MYSELF WHY ARE ALL OF THESE WINDSHIELDS CRACKED? STATISTICALLY WHAT ARE THE CHANCES OF WINDSHIELDS CRACKING WITH A STONE ON THE ROAD. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THAT THE WINDSHIELDS ARE DEFECTIVE. *TR

INCORRECT SPEEDOMETER READING. SOMETIMES READS ZERO ON THE HIGHWAY, SOMETIMES MIGHT READ 40 OR 50 WHILE DOING 55 (CHECKED WITH GPS). SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE ON REALLY HOT DAYS, BUT ALSO SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO HAPPEN AT ANY TIME (THOUGH IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL OF THE TIME, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MID-2006). *TR

SPEEDOMETER FIRST EXCEEDED ACTUAL SPEED BY 20 TO 50 MPH THEN WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. CALLED IT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALER - RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID WAS FIXED. 2 WEEKS LATER PROBLEM RECURRED - NOW THEY WANT $500 TO $1000 TO FIX. ASKED IF THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM THEY DENIED ANY ISSUE HOWEVER INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THIS IS VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE AND HAS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS HAZARDOUS IMPACT. *JB

THE ABS WAS REPAIRED UNDER RECALL NUMBER 05V379000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK), HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR.

I OWN A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE SPEEDOMETER WORED S ERATICALLY. IT EITHER DID NOT REGISTRAR THE CORRECT SPEED OR DID NOT WORK AT ALL. AT TIMES, APPEARED TO REGISTRAR THE CORRECT VEHICLE SPEED. IN ANY CASE IT HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION BECAUSE OF NOT KNOWING FOR CERTAIN WHETHER OR NOT THE SPEED VEHICLEWAS TRAVELING WAS CORRECT. *AK
