STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:SUPPORT DEVICE/STRUT
GMC YUKON 2000 AND ABOVE MODELS. TAIL GATE WINDOW INSTALLATION. WINDOW IS ATTACHED TO VEHICLE WITH PLASTIC FASTENERS WHICH TEND TO BREAK AND CAUSE THE WINDOW TO COME SEPARATED FROM THE WINDOW FRAME. THE WINDOW IS THEN ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE PRIMARILY BY THE WINDOW LOCK. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY 2000 YUKON XL, TO MY DAUGHTER'S 2001 YUKON XL AND WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP SHOP FOR REPAIR I WAS TOLD BY THE SHOP PERSONNEL THAT THEY HAD FIXED SEVERAL LIKE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW IS COMPLETELY REDESIGNED INDICATING THAT THE FACTORY HAS BECOME AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT HAS NO CALLED FOR A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN APPEARING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE ONLY WAY I HAVE TO DATE WAS TO PLACE THE INCIDENT DATE AS TODAY'S DATE. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
IN OCT 06 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING AND 120+ EVEN WHEN SITTING STILL. I CHECKED WITH A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS ADVISED IT WOULD NEED TO BE RECALIBRATED WHICH INVOLVED TAKING THE DASH APART SENDING IT OFF AND BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 5-7 DAYS. I COULDN'T DO THAT AT THE TIME. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER IT JUST STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND HAD WORKED FINE UNTIL 12/22/06 AND NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN ALL THE TIME. I JUST THINK FOR WHAT THESE VEHICLES COST THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. I FEAR EVERYDAY OF GETTING A TICKET, BUT AT THIS TIME I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR OR BEING WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK. *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE HINGE HOLDING THE REAR WINDOW TO THE LIFTGATE IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE GLASS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE WINDOW IS GOING TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE WINDOW HAS SHIFTED FROM ITS INTENDED POSITION SO THAT WHENEVER I OPEN THE LIFTGATE, THE TOP OF THE WINDOW CATCHES ON THE TOP OF THE BODY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. AFTER 5 MINUTE STOP WITH ENGINE OFF, SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED APPROX 55 WHILE GOING 25. PULLED OVER, STOPPED, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60. KEPT CLIMBING WHILE STOPPED. THEN WHEN DRIVING SPEED ADDED TO HIGHER SET POINT. READ OVER 100 MPH AT STOP 2 MILES LATER. THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/T2BGKBGI55EKNU77C/P11 CLEARLY NOT A NORMAL WEAR PROBLEM ON VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, YOU ARE TRAINED TO TRUST THE INSTRUMENTS, NOT YOUR INSTINCTS. SOME HAVE INDICATED PROBLEM OF SPEED READING TOO LOW, THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *NM

SPEEDOMETER IS READING INCORRECTLY ON 2004 GMC YUKON. IT READS 60 MPH WHEN STOPPED AND OVER 120 MPH AT APPROX 60 MPH. MY ONLINE RESEARCH HAS UNCOVERED THOUSANDS OF THESE FAILURES AND SEVERAL POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE IN THE BEGINNING PROCESS. GMC, TO DATE, HAS ISSUED NO RECALL. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON XL DENALI THAT HAS A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER; DOESN'T WORK, OR WORKS ERRATICALLY, READS ZERO WHEN DOING 60. IF YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF IT SEEMS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY BRIEFLY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE SEEN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, I TRULY BELIEVE GM SHOULD RECALL THIS IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAN I WAS GOING 120 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED BUT THE SPEEDOMETER ONLY WENT DOWN TO 60 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. HAVE NOT REPAIRED PROBLEM. DEALER WANTS 750.00 TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I WAS REFERRED TO THIS SITE AFTER READING MORE THAN 180 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON SIMILAR GMC MODELS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER HOME FROM TUTORING WHEN I REALIZED THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAPPENED TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME SO I KEPT UP WITH THE OTHER CARS, BUT GOING DOWN THE STREETS TO OUR HOUSE IN THE DARK MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE. SOMETIMES IT STICKS AT ZERO AND OTHER TIMES IT MAXS OUT AT 120 MPH. THE DEALER I CALLED SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WOULD COST ABOUT $600+ TO FIX AND ALSO IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
GMC ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ELECTRONIC MODULE HAS FAILED TWICE FOR A 2001 VEHICLE. THIS PART IS CRITICAL FOR USE OF ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. FIRST FAILURE NOVEMBER 2004; PART WAS REPLACED BY DEALER AND I PAID LABOR. SECOND FAILURE NOVEMBER 2006; DEALER REFUSED TO ASSIST IN REPLACEMENT OF SAME PART. VEHICLE REQUIRES PART TO BE REPLACED FOR ANTI-LOCK BRAKES TO FUNCTION. *NM

2002 YUKON W/ABS LIGHT ON AND SOME KIND OF MOTOR RUNNING EVEN IF MY VEHICLE IS OFF. THE NEXT MORNING MY BATTERY WAS DEAD. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED A NEW ABS MODULE/PUMP AND IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $950 TO $1,200 TO FIX. THEY DISCONNECTED THE MOTOR TO KEEP FROM RUNNING AND DRAINING MY BATTERY. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES, THEY ARE FINE. BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND PASSED INSPECTION. CALLED GMC RECALL LINE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR 2002 YUKONS IN TEXAS. *JB
