ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I PURCHASED 10/2/2004 A 2004 GMC YUKON WHICH HAD ABOUT 1500 MILES LEFT BEFORE THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE MILEAGE ON THE SPEEDOMETER READ 31144. SINCE I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE CASH I DID NOT PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SOMETIME AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THE SAFETY BELT RECALL IN 8/2005 MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO STICK. WHEN I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY CLUSTER AND THE PRICE IT COST I'VE MANAGED TO MAKE DUE AND NOT INCURRING ANY MORE SPEEDING TICKETS AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS. NOW THAT GM HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT WHERE I AM ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO ME, GM IS STATING THAT I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 7 YEAR OR 70,000 MILE LIMITATION. I CURRENTLY HAVE 92,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, HOWEVER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 31144 THAT WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. I FEEL THAT THE GAUGES ON A VEHICLE ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SAFETY OF THAT VEHICLE AND OTHER DRIVERS. NOW THAT GM HAS TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT, THERE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THEIR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THIS NEW VEHICLE HAS SHIFTING PROBLEMS. SOMETIMES THE RPMS WILL REVERSE WHEN YOU STOMP ON THE GAS. IT DOESN'T RESPOND. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IF YOU PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT GET THE ACCELERATION NEEDED TO AVOID IMPACT. THE TRANSMISSION GOES CRAZY. THE LOCAL GMC CERTIFIED REPAIR SERVICE TECH SAID THAT THEY HAVE BEEN INSTRUCTED NOT TO TRY TO WORK ON THE SYSTEM. GMC IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THERE ARE NO SOLUTIONS. IT WILL ACTUALLY MISS AND LOOSE RPM'S WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IN MOUNTAIN TERRAINS. IT IS ONLY SOMEWHAT RELIABLE IN HIGHWAY TRAVEL THAT IS FLAT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED SOON IF NOT ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS DRIVING TO DALLAS WITH MY FAMILY ON SAT. OCT 20, 2007 IN MY 2004 GMC YUKON (49600 MILES). WHILE MERGING ONTO INTO TRAFFIC, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING I WAS SPEEDING IN EXCESS OF 90 MPH, BUT IN FACT, I WAS BARELY KEEPING UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I PULLED OFF THE FREE WAY AND CAME TO A DEAD STOP AT A GAS STATION, AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE REFLECTED AT 30 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. I TURNED THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, AND EACH TIME THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPPED BY 5 TO 10 MPH, EVENTUALLY RESETTING TO 0. I CONTINUED ON TO MY DESTINATION, AGAIN, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING THE SAME WAY INCREASING AND DECREASING IN JERKY MOVEMENT, BUT NEVER COMPLETELY GOING TO ZERO. I NEVER RESET THE SPEEDOMETER AGAIN TO ZERO, AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 120 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS STATING PROBLEMS EXACTLY LIKE, OR SIMILAR TO MINE REGARDING THE SPEEDOMETERS ON SIMILAR YEAR/MODEL GM TRUCKS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGES USED IN GM'S LATE MODEL TRUCKS. *JB

MANUFACTURER WILL REPLACE AT NO CHARGE IF YOUR UNDER THE WARRANTY 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES WHICH I FILL IS VERY CLEAVER FOR THEM. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
ANOTHER VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I MANAGED TO AVOID THEM DESPITE MY BRAKE ROTOR FAILURE. 1999 GMC YUKON DENALI - DURING MAXIMUM BRAKING FROM 45 MPH THE LEFT FRONT BRAKE ROTOR SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE ROTOR FAILURE RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGING TO THE RIGHT WHILE BRAKING. THE ROTOR DISK BECOME COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE HUB MOUNTING FLANGE. THE ROTOR WAS ORIGINAL FROM THE FACTORY WITH 95,000 MILES ON IT. THE TRUCK HAD RECENTLY PASSED PA STATE INSPECTION (AUGUST 2007) AND A FULL BRAKE JOB WAS DONE AT THAT TIME. THIS INCLUDED TURNING THE ROTORS. A NEW ROTOR WAS INSTALLED DURING THE REPAIR AFTER THIS INCIDENT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
I ACCELERATED ONTO THE FREEWAY TO CATCH UP WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC ON MY 2007 GMC YUKON. WHEN I HIT TOP SPEED IN THE 3RD LANE NOT EVEN A QUARTER OF A MILE AT 65-70MPH, THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCK MAKING MY VEHICLE TRAVEL AT 80-90MPH ON ITS OWN. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE BUT MY VEHICLE WAS STILL ACCELERATING. I THEN PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND TOOK THE NEXT CLOSEST EXIT. I WAS BLOCKING THE EXIT WITH ON COMING TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND LUCKILY A FEW GOOD SAMARITANS HELP ME PUSH MY VEHICLE TO SAFETY. I USED ONSTAR TO GET MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, THUS BEING A SUNDAY, ALL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WERE CLOSED. MONDAY MORNING 8/20/07 I NOTIFIED THE DEALER ABOUT THE ACCIDENT AND IT WASN'T UNTIL 8/21/07 TUESDAY I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE COMPUTER AND AM VERY UPSET THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY MAIL OR BY PHONE CALL BY GMC. I AM VERY SHAKEN UP AND TRAUMATIZED ABOUT THE WHOLE ORDEAL AND VERY THANKFUL THAT THE WORST DIDN'T HAPPEN. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
GM RECALL # 05068 FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS RECALL PERTAINS TO CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SUV'S BETWEEN 1999 AND 2002 AND FAILING ABS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHICH CAUSES THE BRAKES TO PULSATE AND TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THE RECALL COVERED MOST OF THE NE STATES (SALT BELT) AND WAS CAUSED BY CORROSION. THE ABS LOW SPEED SENSOR'S WOULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP (AS IF SLIPPING). I OWN A 1999 GMC YUKON WITH 70K MILES AND THE ABS SENSORS ARE SHOT. I CALLED GM, THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT A LOCAL DEALER, WHEN I DID, THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD TALK TO THE GM REP. FINAL ANSWER FROM GM ...SINCE MY VIN WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, THEY WILL DO NOTHING. THEY WANT $300 TO FIX MY 99 YUKON, THE SAME PROBLEM THEY WOULD FIX FOR FREE IF IT WERE A 1999 SIERRA K1500 TRUCK OR A 2000 YUKON, BOTH VEHICLES USING THE SAME ABS SENSORS. MY 1999 GMC YUKON IS A K1500 (AS STATED ON THE ORIGINAL STICKER) AND THAT VEHICLE IS COVERED BY THE RECALL AS WELL AS THE 2000 YUKON. I HAVE CHECKED AND THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS ARE THE SAME FOR MY 99 YUKON AS THEY ARE FOR THE 99 K1500 AND THE 2000 YUKON. GM DEALER SAID TO ME, "WELL YOU TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY". WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE NAMES FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE LOCAL GM REP, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE CALL #71-550013XXX. BOTH GM AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE REFUSED TO FIX MY VEHICLE UNDER THE GM RECALL, STATING THAT SINCE YOUR VIN IS NOT LISTED IN THE RECALL, THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. AUTOZONE PARTS: SKU # 550300 - LEFT SIDE SENSOR- 1999 YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD SKU # 550301 - RIGHT SIDE SENSOR- 1999YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD NAPA PARTS: SKU # 530606 - LEFT SIDE SENSOR- 1999 YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD SKU # 530581 - RIGHT SIDE SENSOR- 1999YUKON 4WD- SAME PART # FOR 2000 YUKON 4WD AND 1999 K1500 1/2 TON 4WD
