ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD ALL OF THE SUDDEN JUST GO DOWN TO ZERO. ONCE YOU WOULD STOP CAR, TURN OFF AND THEN BACK ON, IT WOULD RESET. IT DID THIS A HALF A DOZEN TIMES, UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND, WHILE DRIVING, IT SAID I WAS GOING 70, BUT I SEEMED TO BE PASSING EVERYONE. I SLOWED DOWN, AND NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT 70. I STOPPED, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I HAD TO CONTINUE MY TRIP BY PACING MYSELF WITH OTHER CARS. YESTERDAY, IT SAID I WAS PEGGED OUT GOING OVER 120. IT WOULD NEVER GO BELOW 70. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY HAD TO SEND CLUSTER TO BE REPAIRED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND SOUNDS LIKE A RECURRING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY GM. I DON'T THINK THE CONSUMER SHOULD BE STUCK PAYING FOR A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO REPLACE. *JB

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING HE HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE METAL CLASHING ON METAL. THE CONTACT TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A A DEFECTIVE FLEX PLATE. HE FELT THAT THIS WAS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAILURE COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THIS WAS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ANYONE WHO WAS PULLING A TRAVEL TRAILER. THE CONTACT COULD PROVIDE PICTURES IF NEEDED. THE FAILURE WAS 80,000 MILES. *AK THE NOISE WAS NOTICED A IDLE AND PARTICULARLY AT ACCELERATION. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FLEX PLATE CONNECTING THE CRANK TORQUE CONVERTER WAS FRACTURED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBABLE FAILURE MODE ON THIS PART IS FLEXURAL FATIGUE WHICH WOULD RESULT MISALIGNMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION INPUT SHAFT AND THE CRANKSHAFT, OR EXCESSIVE RUN OUT ON THE ATTACHMENT SURFACE OF EITHER THE CRANKSHAFT OR THE CONVERTER.

STEERING:COLUMN
IN DECEMBER OF 2005, STARTING HEARING A LOUD RATTLE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SIDE OF MY 2004 GMC YUKON WITH 26,099 MILES. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THEY WROTE "LUBRICATED BODY MOUNT CUSHIONS". NOW IN FEBRUARY 2007 WITH 46222 MILES THE RATTLE IS BACK. SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND WWW.TOPIX.NET GMC YUKON SUSPENSION RATTLE WITH COMPLAINTS FROM DOZENS OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. GM HAS EVEN CREATED A LUBRICATION KIT FOR IT'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO USE, HOWEVER IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH IS IN THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER LIED ABOUT THE SERVICE PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE AND GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM. MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMNS REPLACED, BUT THE RATTLE CONTINUES. APPARENTLY THERE IS ACTUALLY THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN BEARING THAT NEEDS REPLACED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IF THE STEERING BEARING WEARS OUT. DOES MY STEERING GO OUT? WILL I HAVE AN ACCIDENT? I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING A RECALL AND NOTHING. *JB

ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY SPEEDOMETER SHOWED MY HUSBAND DOING 60 MPH WHEN IN REALITY HE WAS DOING ABOUT 10. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS FINE. JUST THIS WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN - ONLY THIS TIME IT IS REFLECTING ANYWHERE FROM 80 - 120 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING OR IF YOU ARE STOPPED. SINCE I FIRST REPORTED IT AT THE SECOND OCCURRENCE - AT WHICH I WAS 306 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY - THE DEALER IS CHARGING ME $575 TO REPLACE THE CLUSTER. *JB
