ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
FOR APPROX8 MONTHS MY SPEEDOMETER HAS NOT WORK PROPERLY. AS I'M DRIVING THE "ZERO" MAY BE ANYWHERE FROM REAL ZERO TO 120 MPH. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT DUE TO THE SENSITIVITY OF THE RPM GAUGE TO TELL ME EXACT SPEED. CURRENTLY I DRIVE WITH A GARMAN THAT TELLS ME HOW FAST I'M GOING. I'VE FOUND LOTS OF INFORMATION RELATED TO SPEEDOMETER ISSUES ON 2005 GMS YUKON DENALI. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THE SPEEDOMETER BUT I HAD EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE. WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE? THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WOULD BE ABOUT $350 DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT DIAGNOSTICS ALSO CARRY A PRETTY HEFTY FEE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2004 GMC YUKON DENALI XL STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE TACHOMETER NOT WORKING FOLLOWED BY THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE FLUCTUATING FROM LOW TO HIGH AND THEN STAYING PEGGED AT HIGH. THE VOLTAGE METER IS READING HIGH EVEN THOUGH WHILE IT WAS READING HIGH THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT AND HIS GAUGE SAID IT WAS FINE. WE HEAR A CLICKING IN THE DASHBOARD THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CHECKED IT BUT IT IS STILL HAPPENING. WE ARE ON OUR 3RD RIDE LEVELING COMPRESSOR AND WE DON'T USE IT TO HALL A TRAILER. WHAT WILL BE NEXT. WE ARE CONCERNED SINCE THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAUGE COULD BE NEXT. *TR

TOTAL FAILURE OF STEEL BRAKE LINE (FRONT TO REAR) WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AFTER A DOCTOR VISIT I WAS SHOCKED TO FEEL MY BRAKE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR, LUCKILY THE SPLIT SYSTEM ALLOWED ME TO STOP BEFORE ENTERING A BUSY HIGHWAY. CAR WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR REPAIR THE OWNER SAYS THIS HAPPENS ALOT AFTER PAYING A 250.00 BILL I WAS ON MY WAY CONSIDERING RISKS ENVOLVED I FEEL MANUFACTURERS SHOULD BE MADE TO BY LAW TO USE STAINLESS MATERIAL FOR ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS. THEY MUST NOW BE USING A LOW GRADE STEEL (NO DOUBT TO CUT MANUFACTURING COSTS). *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
RECURRENCE OF ANTILOCK-BRAKE PROBLEM WHICH WAS CAUSE OF AN EARLIER GM RECALL OF THIS SAME VEHICLE. EARLIER RECALL RESULTED IN A 1.5 HOUR TASK TO REMOVE, CLEAN AND RE-INSTALL ABS SENSOR WITH A RUST-PREVENTATIVE APPLIED. THE SAME PROBLEM IS RECURRING NOW AND GM CUSTOMER SUPPORT REFUSES TO RE-ADDRESS THE PROBLEM ON MY VEHICLE. BACKGROUND: IN APRIL 2005, THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION OPENED AN INVESTIGATION OF MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION GM PICKUPS AND SUVS IN 20 STATES BECAUSE OF QUESTIONS OVER THE ANTILOCK BRAKES. IN 2005, GM SPOKESMAN ALAN ADLER SAID ROAD GRIME CAN WEDGE ITS WAY INTO A PLASTIC PIECE THAT COVERS THE ABS SENSOR NEAR THE WHEEL HUB, RESULTING IN SALT CORROSION. THE CORROSION LEADS THE SENSORS TO ACTIVATE THE ABS SYSTEM AT SPEEDS OF 3.7 MILES PER HOUR TO 10 MPH, REQUIRING A LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. GM SAID THERE HAVE BEEN 228 CRASHES REPORTED THROUGH THE END OF MAY 2005, INCLUDING 10 MINOR INJURIES. THE COMPANY RECALLED ABOUT 150,000 PICKUPS IN EASTERN CANADA IN NOVEMBER 2004 FROM THE SAME MODEL YEARS BECAUSE OF THE CONDITION IN THE ANTILOCK BRAKES. ADLER SAID THE COMPANY DECIDED TO ISSUE THE 2005 RECALL IN 14 STATES BASED UPON INCIDENT RATES. GM AND THE GOVERNMENT HAVE RECEIVED MORE THAN 700 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
THE CHROME METAL COVERING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES OF MY YUKON HAS CRACKED AND IS SEPARATING FROM THE HANDLES. THE SHARP CHROME METAL INJURED MY WIFE BY SLICING HER FINGER AS SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE. MY DAUGHTER PREVIOUSLY RAN HER FOOT ON THE BACK SEAT HANDLE AND CUT HER FOOT. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS MATERIAL DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED. THIS IS DANGEROUS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE DRIVING FROM CHICAGO TO MILWAUKEE ON 1/26/11 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED TO INDICATE VERY ABNORMAL SPEEDS. MY PORTABLE GPS INDICATED I WAS TRAVELING 62 MPH YET MY YUKON'S SPEEDOMETER READ 110 MPH. WHEN I REACHED MY DESTINATION IN MILWAUKEE AND TURNED MY YUKON OFF, THE SPEEDOMETER REMAINED AT 55 MPH. I IMMEDIATELY GOOGLED FAULTY YUKON SPEEDOMETERS AND FOUND A LARGE QUANTITY OF SITES CONTAINING DEFECT INFORMATION ABOUT GMC YUKON'S SPEEDOMETERS. I ALSO READ THAT GM SUPPOSEDLY SENT OUT LETTERS TO CUSTOMERS. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THIS. HAVING 3 SMALL CHILDREN I WOULD NOT LET SOMETHING AS SERIOUS AS THIS GO UNFIXED HAD I BEEN MADE AWARE. I AM NOW AT 96,000 MILES AND SEE THAT GM'S "RECALL" ENDS AT 80,000 MILES. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED SO I COULD HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED. THIS IS EXACTLY ONE OF THE MANY REASONS PEOPLE HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM AND OTHER AMERICAN CAR MANUFACTURERS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS SYSTEM ON OUR YUKON AND THE DEALER INSISTS THAT IT IS AN ISOLATED CASE BUT I HAVE FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BRAKE WITH MUCH RELIANCE ON THE ABS SYSTEM. BY THIS I MEAN THAT THE 2001 GMC YUKON DOES NOT HAVE A BRAKE PROPORTIONING VALVE THAT WILL REDIRECT BRAKING FORCE TOWARDS THE FRONT BRAKES AS THE VEHICLE MASS SHIFTS FORWARD UNDER BRAKING LOADS. THIS IN TURN CAUSES THE REAR BRAKES TO LOCK UP PREMATURELY UNDER MODERATE TO HEAVY BRAKE APPLICATION. IT HAS NEARLY CAUSED OUR SUV TO ROLL-OVER ON ONE OCCASION AND FRANKLY, WE'RE AFRAID TO SIMPLY SELL IT AND PASS THE LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM ONTO SOMEONE ELSE. I AM DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED WITH GMC FOR NOT ADDRESSING THIS DEADLY PROBLEM IN THE WESTERN STATES AND ONLY CLAIMING THAT "SNOW BELT" STATE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. PLEASE HELP US AND OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH THE RINGER WITH MULTIPLE GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTERS THAT REFUSE TO ADMIT THAT THERE IS A GLARING PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *TR
