ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
STARTING IN NOVEMBER 2007, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 YUKON SPEEDOMETER. IT WOULD EITHER START AT 60MPH, NOT GO HIGHER THAN 45MPH, AND LATELY IT JUST FAILED. IT'S NOT REGISTERING ANY SPEED. ON JULY 25, 2008, I WAS TOLD BY A GMC DEALERSHIP THAT MY CLUSTER HAS FAILED AND NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THESE THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY, THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2003 AND 2005 MODELS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERYTIME HE ACTIVATED HIS LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE.

EVEN AFTER ALL OF THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, THE ELECTRICAL FAILURES STILL PERSIST. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,400.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
CONTINUOUS BRAKING PROBLEMS. I UNDERSTAND NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY FRONT ROTORS, CALIPERS, BRAKES, EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS MY ABS & EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF DURING DRIVING. I HAVE HAD A GMC DEALERSHIP (FOLSOM GMC) AND LES SCHWAB PERFORM DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS TO ONLY TELL ME THAT I NEED TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS AND CALIPERS AGAIN DUE TO WEAR. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETECT WHY THE TWO LIGHTS COME ON. LAST NIGHT ON MY WAY HOME THE TWO LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN, THIS TIME I NOTICED A LOUD MOTOR RUNNING, EVEN WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF THE MOTOR NOISE CONTINUED. ONCE I PULLED THE ABS FUSE OUT OF THE CONTROL BOX THE MOTOR STOPPED. I AM TAKING THE VEHICLE INTO HAVE IT SERVICED AGAIN. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE YOUR COMPANY PERFORM AN INVESTIGATION ON THE ANTILOCKING SYSTEM AND BRAKE SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES. IN MY RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OTHERS DENALI OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE BRAKE/ANTILOCK SYSTEM FAILURES. A FEW OF THE COMPLAINTS I FOUND ARE AT "WWW.ALLWORLDAUTO.COM" AND "WWW.LEMONAUTO.COM". THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY. I WOULD BE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD READ 100 MPH OR MORE. SOMETIMES IT WOULD GET STUCK ON A CERTAIN SPEED EVEN AFTER PARKING. I LOOKED INTO GETTING IT FIXED BUT I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST BETWEEN 500 OR 1000 DOLLARS AND THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER IT. I HAVE NOW SEEN THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AND IT IS A SHAME THAT A VEHICLE COMPANY AS GMC HAS NOT STEPPED UP TO HELP US FIX THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A DANGER TO HAVE A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS. *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

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY. OCCASIONALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT WORK AT ALL. THE OTHER INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES HAVE BEGUN TO MALFUNCTION AND DISPLAY INACCURATE READINGS. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACED FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DIAL WOULD STOP A LITTLE BELOW THE FULL LINE; THEREFORE, SHE NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH FUEL WAS IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONSULTED GMC AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS. GMC WANTED TO CHARGE HER $450 FOR THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:ABS WARNING LIGHT
I HAVE A 2002 YUKON DENALI AWD. I TOOK A LONG TRIP THIS WEEK FOR VACATION AND NOTICED THAT THE ABS LIGHT AS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF, AND NOW ITS ON ALL THE TIME. WHENEVER IM MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS IT TENDS TO PULSE WHEN I BRAKE OR HAVE THE ABS ACTIVATE MAKING AN EASY SLOW STOP BECOME AND LONG STOP THAT HAS MADE ME SWERVE TO MISS MANY NEAR COLLISIONS IN THE PAST FEW DAYS. IM ALSO HEARING A KNOCKING SOUND AT LOW SPEEDS IN THE DRIVE SIDE WHEEL ONLY WHEN I TURN RIGHT, BETWEEN THE 2 THAT HAVE JUST RECENTLY APPEARED MADE MY 900 MILE TRIP A NIGHTMARE, NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS. I'VE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND NOTICE THERE WAS A RECALL IN CANADA FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THE COMPLAINTS ARE NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GET IT IN THE U.S. SO HOW MANY PPL NEED TO RISK BEING INJURED OR KILLED FOR GM TO DO THE RIGHT THING. THEY OBVIOUSLY NO SOMETHING IS WRONG AND IS NOT WILLING TO HELP THE CONSUMERS. THANKS *TR
