SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER
CAR: 2005 GM YUKON DENALI OCCUPANTS: FATHER, DRIVING; 16-YEAR OLD SON, PASSENGER FRONT; MOTHER, LEFT WINDOW SEAT MIDDLE ROW; 9-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER, LYING ON RIGHT AND MIDDLE SEATS, OF MIDDLE ROW. (DAUGHTER HAS CEREBRAL PALSY; UNABLE TO WALK UNASSISTED; WHEELCHAIR STOWED IN REAR. ) BOTH REAR SEAT HEATERS ON. TIME: 9 A.M. 2/3/07 OUR FAMILY WAS ALMOST 2 HOURS INTO A 3-HOUR TRIP, WHEN I SMELLED AN UNUSUAL ODOR. THINKING IT WAS FROM OUTSIDE, I TRIED TO IGNORE FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND THEN BECAME OVERWHELMED BY A NOXIOUS ODOR, AND OPENED ALL WINDOWS. MY HUSBAND PULLED INTO A REST AREA ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE ABOUT A MILE LATER. IMMEDIATELY WHEN WE PARKED, SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT FROM UNDER MY DAUGHTER'S SEAT. WE FRANTICALLY UNBUCKLED HER, AS SHE HAS A DISABILITY. THE SMOKE WAS VERY THICK W/I A FEW SECONDS. WE SAFELY EXTRACTED HER AND ALL OF US. MY HUSBAND LIFTED HER PILLOW, WHERE SHE HAD BEEN RESTING ON THE SEAT, ONLY TO FIND IT CHARRED UNDERNEATH, AND TWO GAPING, STILL BURNING HOLES IN THE ACTUAL SEAT. HE WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO CUT THE SEAT HEATER CORD AND REMOVE THE CUSHION FROM THE FRAME. ONLY 2 INCHES OF PILLOW SAVED OUR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER FROM BEING BURNED. IN HER WORDS LATER, WITH LIMITED SPEECH, SHE TOLD US SHE COULD SMELL THE BURNING, BUT AS UNABLE TO EXPRESS IT. THE SEAT CUSHION HAD BEEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE FOR NEARLY 30 MINUTES, AS WE WERE TALKING WITH EMERGENCY PERSONNEL, AND INCREDIBLY, IT BEGAN TO SMOKE AND BURN AGAIN! THEY TOOK NO CHANCES AND DOUSED IT COMPLETELY WITH WATER. GMC IS NOW INVESTIGATING. *NM

STEPPED ON GAS IN MY 2004 GMC YUKON AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SOARED WAY PAST THE ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, THE NEEDLE RESTED AT 120 MPH. AFTER A DAY IT RESET ITSELF AND THEN DID IT AGAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT CORRECTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTERS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT WASN'T CONSIDERED A COVERED PART...BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD! *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL GMC SERVICE CENTERS TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE SEVERAL ELECTRONIC ISSUES. 1. THE RADIO AND AC UNIT WILL TURN ON FOR NO REASON AND BOTH UNITS ARE EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH. 2. THE FRONT DASH RESONATES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE OR DECLINE WHEN THE AC UNIT IS ON. 3. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD OCCASIONALLY STOP WORKING AFTER RUNNING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES YET THE DEALERSHIP WAS NEVER ABLE TO DUPLICATE. IT HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2002 YUKON HAD VERY REDUCED BRAKING UNDER NORMAL SPEEDS AND ROAD CONDITIONS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHED NEARLY TO THE FLOOR WITH ONLY ABOUT 30% OF NORMAL BRAKE CAPACITY. AS IF THE FRONT BRAKES WERE NOT HELPING. THE BIG ISSUE IS THAT THE RECALL SERVICE BY GM RECALL # 05068 HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON THIS TRUCK LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AGO ON 8-23-2006. THE RECALL PROCEDURE DOES NOT CORRECT THE DEFECT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BY THIS PROBLEM THAT GM IS NOT CORRECTLY ADDRESSING. *NM

I OWN A 2002 GMC YUKON DENALI AND LITTLE BY LITTLE THE LIGHTS BEHIND THE INSTRUMENTS ON THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL BUTTONS HAVE BLOWN OUT. THE DEALER SAID THE ONLY REPLACEMENT WOULD BE FOR THE ENTIRE UNITS AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. COMPONENTS WORK FINE BUT CANNOT SEE AT NIGHT WHICH MAKES DRIVING AND TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE INSTRUMENTS ARE DIFFICULT.*JB

I HAVE TWO GM VEHICLES, A 2003 TAHOE & A 2004 DENALI. BOTH VEHICLES STARTED HAVING SPEEDOMETER PROBLEMS THIS WEEK. STANDING STILL THE SPEEDOMETER READS 30+ MPH, START MOVING & THEY ARE READING WELL OVER 120 MPH. I NO LONGER HAVE ANY IDEA HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING IN EITHER OF MY VEHICLES. THIS IS UNSAFE & GM SHOULD IMMEDIATELY RECALL ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES & FIX THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY. I HAVE 8 CHILDREN & WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT I AM DRIVING AT A SAFE SPEED AT ALL TIMES. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI, WITH 40,000 MILES, HAS QUIT WORKING. THROUGH RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT MANY GM OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AND GM INSISTS ON REPAIR COSTS RANGING FROM $500 TO $1000 DOLLARS. THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY VEHICLE HAS STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THEN HIGH WAY. THIS FAILURE CAN LEAD TO ACCIDENTS AS WELL AS FINANCIAL BURDENS WHEN HAVING TO PAY FOR SPEEDING TICKETS DUE TO THE FAILURE TO MAINTAIN A SAFE SPEED. AT THIS POINT NOTHING HAS BEEN REPAIRED AS I REFUSE TO PAY GM TO REPAIR A DEFECTIVE PART, WHICH THEY ARE AWARE OF. I UNDERSTAND THAT A FATALITY HAS TO OCCUR BEFORE THE NTHSA AND/OR GM TO TAKE ACTION TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. *NM

SPEEDOMETER STICKING AND REPORTING INCORRECT VEHICLE SPEED. SPEEDOMETER WOULD CONSISTENTLY DROP OVER THE COURSE OF THE TRIP AND FINALLY IT WILL REPORT 0 MPH WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON AN INTERSTATE. TEMPORARY FIX IS TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND TRY AGAIN. IT WORKS FOR AROUND 60 MILES AND PROBLEM STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. DEALER SUGGESTED TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WHICH WILL COST ANY FROM $250-350. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE PER MY RESEARCH ONLINE. THERE ARE MANY EBAY VENDORS THAT SPECIALIZE IN THIS AND CHARGE GOOD MONEY. *JB
