I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY VEHICLE IS FAULTY. AT ONE POINT I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND MY SPEEDOMETER DISPLAY SHOWED THAT I WAS TRAVELING 120 MPH. MY WIFE RECEIVED A SPEEDING FOR TRAVELING 70 MPH IN A 50 MPH ZONE. AT THE TIME THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED THAT SHE WAS ONLY TRAVELING 50 MPH. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM BECAUSE WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WE NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW FAST OR SLOW WE ARE ACTUALLY TRAVELING. HAVE SPOKE WITH OTHER CONSUMERS WHO OWN GMC YUKON AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETER. *JB

IT STARTED THIS FALL MAYBE CLOSER TO WINTER. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDO STUCK AT ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A GLITCH BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED MORE AND MORE NOW I KNOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING A CERTIAN MPH AND YOUR REALLY NOT SOME MIGHT GET FRUSTRATED WITH OTHERS EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY BE IN THE WRONG. I CAN JUST SEE ALL THE ROAD RAGE HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE GOIND 70 AND THEY ARE REALLY GOING 80 OR MORE. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING MY TACHOMETER BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. BECAUSE I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT WILL COST 600+ TO FIX. HOW MANY OF THOSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ARE GOING TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX A SPEEDOMETER?

WHILE LEAVING FOR OUR CHRISTMAS TRIP, I NOTICED THAT IT SEEMED THAT TRAFFIC WAS TRAVELING A LOT FASTER THAN USUAL. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 76 MPH!! SINCE THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUES TO GET STUCK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! MY GMC YUKON IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 61000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $600-800 EST TO FIX THE PROBLEM PLUS RENTAL CAR FOR THE DAYS THAT THE WHOLE DASH OF MY CAR WAS SENT OUT TO BE RECONDITIONED. THE SERVICE TECH MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMETIMES IT TOOK MORE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT OTHER INSTRUMENTS COULD BE FAILING ON THE DASH. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS REPAIR PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET ON THE ISSUE AND NO OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BY GM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!! I DRIVE CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND THEIR SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE COMPROMISED IN THIS MANNER. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE SHORT LENGTH OF TIME THAT I HAVE HAD IT, THERE SHOULD NOT BE SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY!! *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON, IN 2005. OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY - WHEN IT IS HOT OR HUMID THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO JUMP A LITTLE THEN STARTS TO REGISTER A HIGHER SPEED THAN I AM MOVING. FOR EXAMPLE: I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY SPEEDOMETER READ 90 MPH. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND REPEATEDLY START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER READING WOULD REDUCE BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AT A TIME, WHICH MEANS I HAD TO START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE 18 OR MORE TIMES FOR IT TO RETURN TO 0. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER REPAIR DEPARTMENT WHO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON - EVIDENTLY THIS IS QUITE THE COMMON THING WITH THESE TRUCKS AND OTHERS - AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED. PRICING AROUND $375 FOR THE PART AND ANOTHER $100 OR SO FOR INSTALLATION. I HAVE INVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM, WITH GM VEHICLES, AND THERE ARE FAR TOO NUMEROUS OUT THERE FOR THIS TO BE A SINGLE INCIDENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. IN MY OPINION, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR WITH A RECALL. I CAN SEE WHERE IT WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE ALARM AS FAR AS A SAFETY CONCERN. FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT YET, BUT DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT I ALSO SAW ON AN INTERNET WEBSITE FOR LAWYERS THAT THEY ARE GATHERING COMPLAINTS TOGETHER FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO REPORT THIS FOR INVESTIGATION FIRST. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND TRY TO PUMP GAS, THE PUMP ALWAYS SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS WHEN I PUMP GAS MANUALLY OR USE THE LEVER ON THE GAS PUMP. I PULL OUT THE GAS NOZZLE AND RE-INSERT IT AND IT CONTINUALLY HAPPENS. IT IS VERY ANNOYING TRYING TO FILL UP THE 26 GALLON GAS TANK. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, SPEEDOMETER 'FAILED' TO THE NEEDLE POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN. I DROVE ANOTHER 10 MINUTES HOME, SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE NEVER MOVED. CYCLING ENGINE OFF/ON SEEMED TO CAUSE THE NEEDLE TO 'DECREASE' INDICATED SPEED BY ABOUT 10 MPH WITH EACH CYCLING. AFTER CYCLING THE IGNITION ABOUT 15 TIMES WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, SPEED AGAIN READ 0. STARTING THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE INDICATOR STILL READ 0, AND WHEN DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK, THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO WORK AGAIN. DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR POSSIBLE FIXES, I FOUND A WEB-SITE FULL OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH COMPARABLE GMC VEHICLES. IS THERE A RECALL IN THE WORKS? *NM

ERRATIC SPEED SHOWN ON SPEEDOMETER. SHOWS ZERO AT ONE TIME AND THEN READ MAX OUT AT 120. TOOK IT TO HAVE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD HAD NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COST TO REPAIR $600!!! I FOUND A WEBSITE WITH 209 POSTED COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION. WITH A POSSIBLE INTERACTION WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO MENTION INACCURATE SPEED. *NM

SUSPENSION, STEERING, SEATS, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, STRUCTURE
2006 YUKON MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, VIBRATION IS ALSO NOTICED WHEN DRIVING 65 MPH. *TS A MONTH AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THE CONSUMER STARTED TO NOTICED NOISES COMING FROM THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERVICE DEALER WHO DETERMINED THAT THE UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER REPAIRS OF THE CONTROL ARM THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED AND THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WHICH THEY CLAIMED WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE FACTORY. ONE WEEK LATER THE CONSUMER NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO ADVISED THAT THE RIGHT REAR UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM WERE BAD FROM THE FACTORY. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED AND REPLACED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER BEING SERVICED THE TECHNICIAN DIDN'T COVER THE SEAT WHILE WORKING AND GOT OIL ON THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENTIRE SEAT WITH A SEAT ON THEIR LOT. THE CONSUMER NEVER AUTHORIZED THEM TO DO THAT. NOW THE SEAT IS MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED THAT THE SEAT IS BROKEN AND THAT ALL THE 2006 YUKON DENALI SEAT ARE BROKEN. THE SEAR WAS TAKEN APART AND LONGER BOLTS WERE USED TO SECURED THE SEAT. THE SEAT IS STILL BROKEN. THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH IS NOW MAKING NOISE. THE DEALER SAID THAT THE STEERING BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT THE REPLACEMENT IS NOISIER THAN THE ORIGINAL. THE DASH HAS BEGUN TO PEEL. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT ALL YUKON DENALI DASHES ARE PEELING. THE DASH WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE. THE ENGINE SOUNDS AS IS A LIFTER IS OFF. THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT.

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS DURING SUNNY ROAD CONDITIONS, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE NOT VISIBLE DUE TO POOR ILLUMINATION. ALSO, THE PILLARS ON THE DRIVER SIDE CREATED BLIND SPOTS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. IT WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THAT THEY WOULD RESEARCH THE PROBLEM TO SEE IF THERE WAS RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED.

THE HEADLAMPS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SIX TIMES. THE DEALER WANTED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY TO THE TUNE OF $450 THAT, WE WERE TOLD, WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE INTERMITTENTLY ON AND OFF AND REPLACEMENT OF BULBS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. *JB
