ONE LOCAL OWNER OF A AUTO BODY SHOP SAID THEY THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY THESE WINDOWS ARE ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
THE DRIVER WISHING TO SIGNAL A TURN BY MOVING THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL LEVER, (UP OR DOWN) MAY CAUSE THE FRONT MARKER/TURN LIGHTS AND REAR TURN LIGHTS TO FLASH IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO HAZARD WARNING, RATHER THAN FLASHING ON THE DESIRED SIDE ONLY. SAME AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V198000 WHY WASN'T YUKON INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC, STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:HOSE, PIPING, AND CONNECTIONS
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT NOTICED A LEAK UNDER THE HOOD OF HIS VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED HIM TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE HYDRO BOOST FAILED. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY $861 TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC INFORMED HIM THAT HE COULD HAVE RUN OUT OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKE FLUID, AND THE SEAL FAILED AND WAS LEAKING. THE FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A CRASH DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE FLUIDS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE INABILITY TO BRAKE. THE BRAKES AND THE STEERING ARE ONE UNIT. A GMC REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT HE WOULD CALL THE CONTACT IN 24 HOURS TO DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT THEY WILL PAY FOR THE PARTS OR A PORTION OF THE REPAIRS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48,498 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,448.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI SYSTEM STABILIZATION DISABLED WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY COMES ON. THE DEALER CANNOT REPAIR THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES IN THE CAR COMPUTER. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT STILL NO ERROR CODES. ONSTAR RUNS DIAGNOSTICS AND REPORTS NO ERRORS AND TELLS ME TO DRIVE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. THIS FIRST OCCURRED IN DECEMBER WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, NOW SEVERAL TRIPS TO THE SERVICE SHOP AND IT STILL IS COMING ON. I AM WORKING WITH GMC CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, BUT TO DATE THEY ARE SAYING THEY CAN'T FIX IT BECAUSE THERE ARE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES. I HAVE ASKED THEM IF THE TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE WITH WARNING LIGHT ON, BUT THEY CANNOT ASSURE ME THAT IT IS. THEY REFUSE TO DOCUMENT ANYTHING IN WRITING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE TRUCK. TO DATE THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS NOR INJURIES, BUT I HAVE LOST ALL CONFIDENCE IN THE VEHICLE AS I WAS TOLD THE STABILIZATION SYSTEM WAS MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND IT MUST BE OPERATIONAL. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE TO INSURE THE TRUCK IS SAFE? WHY CAN'T THEY REPLACE COMPUTER MODULES UNTIL THERE IS A RESOLUTION? THE TRUCK DID NOT DO THIS FOR THE FIRST 35 MONTHS I OWNED IT, DRIVING THE SAME EXACT ROADS THAT THE WARNING FLASHES ON NOW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS MY SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE HAS BEEN GETTING STUCK. ONCE I HIT 60MPH, IT GETS STUCK THERE. WHEN I TURN OFF THE CAR IT STAYS AT 60 SO IT ACTS AS IF IT'S AT 0MPH. AT THAT POINT IT LOOKS LIKE I'M GOING 100MPH WHEN IN REALITY I'M GOING 40MPH UNTIL IT GETS STUCK PAST 120MPH. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTS SLOWLY DROPPING. IT'S AMAZING THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AFTER MANY MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS. I WILL MAKE SURE TO GIVE NEGATIVE REPORTS TO ANYONE LOOKING TO BUY A GM VEHICLE AS WELL AS TO POTENTIAL USED GM OWNERS. *TR

ON THE DATE LISTED BELOW, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO REGISTER INCORRECT SPEEDS. IT THEN BECAME STUCK ON 70 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. IT HAS NOT STOPPED WORKING ALL THE WAY AND IS STUCK AT 140MPH. WHILE AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP GETTING MY OIL CHANGED, I ASKED AN ATTENDANT IF HE WAS GETTING MANY SPEEDOMETER REPAIRS FOR MY MAKE/MODEL. HE STATED THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY "STEP MOTOR"?? I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND HE STATED "HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANY PROBLEMS." HE STATED HE WOULD FIX MY SPEEDOMETER FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. THE SERVICE TECH STATED THE MOTOR COSTS $10. I HAVE READ A FEW THREADS ON THE TOPIC AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND NOT THE PROPER RESPONSE FROM THE MAKER. BASICALLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND A CAR COMPANY MAKING LOTS OF MONEY TO REPAIR IT. VEHICLE I OWN IS A 2004 YUKON DENALI. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, STEERING
I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF ONE 11 YEAR OLD SON. I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON AND I HAVE SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS. I HAVE A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN MY STEERING COLUMN AND MY SPEEDOMETER IS OPERATING VERY ERRATICALLY. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MY LOCAL GMC DEALER THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT COVERED. MY CONCERN IS IF I SHOULD BE KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE I CAN NOT TELL HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING WHEN THE FRONT STEERING BREAKS DUE TO A STEERING COMPONENT FAILURE WHO WILL RAISE MY SON THE STATE OR GMC? I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR GMC AND THEIR PRODUCTS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY 2004 GMC DENALI HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAGE NOT SHOWING CORRECT READINGS. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 50,60,70 WHEN YOU ARE ONLY GOING 30. SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY I AM PASSING EVERYONE AND HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW FAST I AM GOING. I CAN BE GOING PRETTY FAST JUST SETTING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT SOMETIMES. AND I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE ANYMORE. THEY SENT OUT A LETTER THAT STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THIS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. WELL MY VEHICLE HAS 108000 MILES ON IT, BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT TO TRAVEL IN AND WE DRIVE IT. THEY DON'T CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO NO RECALL. SINCE WHEN DOES DRIVING 90 MILES AN HOUR WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING 70 NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? OR PERHAPS RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND FREEZING TO DEATH. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
DRIVING HOME ON A THREE HOUR TRIP, I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING, ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER GETTING A TICKET FOR SPEEDING. I NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD EITHER STICK AT THE SPEED I WAS GOING AT ONE POINT IN TIME, THEN SOMETIMES IT WOULD JUST FALL TO 0. GM HAS A TSB OUT FOR THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR 7 YEARS 70,000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM SINCE I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE WITH 96,000 MILES ON IT, THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AND WAS AMAZED AT THE 600$ FIXING PRICE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX WHAT I AND EVERYONE ELSE WOULD CONSIDER A RECALL THAT THEY DON'T. *TR
