VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STOP WORKING. FIRST THE SPEEDOMETER THEN THE TACHOMETER, AND NOW THE AMP METER. ON GOING PROBLEM. DEFINATELY A SAFETY CONCERN BUT NO ONE WANTS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. THE DEALER WANTS 600.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR IR BUT DOES NOT GUARANTEE IT WILL BE THE FIX. OTHER VEHICALS OF THIS YEAR AND MODEL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL SUNK AND I LOST BRAKES. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND ALMOST DROVE INTO A GUARD RAIL. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I OBSERVE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE WAS CORRODED CAUSING IT TO BREAK. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH GMC AND THE COMPANY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. USING STAINLESS WOULD PREVENT INCIDENTS LIKE THESE AND POSSIBLE INJURIES OR DEATHS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY IN 2007 AND NOT TO LONG AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE SOME OF THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO ONE OF THEIR SERVICE CENTER WHICH THEY LOOKED AT IT AND STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY HUSBAND EXPLAINED THE GAUGES WOULD SOMETIMES STICK/QUITE WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HE WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO TRY TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN. TIME WENT ON AND IT GOT WORSE AND MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE TOLD HIM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE PAID FOR A REPLACEMENT AND SHORTLY AFTER THE REPLACEMENT IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING THE OTHER PANEL DID. ALL THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND WE HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO GET IT TO WORK AND NOW IT HAS GOTTEN EVEN WORSE AND I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE BECAUSE WHY SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON GETTING REPLACEMENTS AND THEY DO THE SAME THING. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THESE PANELS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A SERVICE WARRANTY ON THE PANEL BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2011. I THEN STATED THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERVICE WARRANTY BECAUSE WE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL AND THEY STATED THE SERVICE WARRANTY WAS MAILED OUT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE AND WE MUST NOT HAVE REGISTERED OUR VEHICLE CORRECTLY WITH THE DMV (DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE) WHICH I DON'T SEE HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN WE RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL EVERY YEAR TO RENEW THE REGISTRATION ON THE VEHICLE WE ARE CURRENT EVERY YEAR SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE DIDN'T RECEIVE THE NOTICE REGARDING THE SERVICE WARRANTY IN THE MAIL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, ON THE 2004 GMC DENALIS. IT'S LIKE IT STARTS SLOW YOUR GAUGES GO OUT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING! THEN THE OIL, TEMP FOR ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION. WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE. THEN THE BRAKES GET A MIND OF THEIR OWN. RECENTLY THE RADIO & LIGHTS ARE ACTING UP WHICH IS SCARY, I HAVE A 7 YR. OLD. THE HEAT IN THE BACK DOESN'T WORK FOR HER, SO I HAVE SEVERAL BLANKETS FOR HER. THE TELEVISION QUIT LONG AGO, IT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE BOUGHT THE CAR, SO KIDS COULD WATCH TELEVISION ON LONG TRIPS, OR WHENEVER. WE PAID A LOT FOR THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD THINK GMC WOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND CORRECT THE PRODUCT THEY STAND BY,AND ARE VERY PROUD OF. I WOULD LOVE TO JUST PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY, I LOST MY JOB, WE ARE PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK WITH MY HUSBANDS INCOME. I CAN'T FIX OR REPLACE THIS CAR, THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED BEFORE ALL THE MALFUNCTIONS/DEFECTS. I HAVE A GARMIN SO I CAN TELL MY SPEED, AND HAVE TO HIT THE SIDE INSIDE THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHTS WON'T WORK. I PRAY, YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT, AS SO MANY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME COMPLAINTS. ONE GENTLEMEN GAVE YOU A WEBSITE I'VE SEEN MYSELF OF PEOPLES COMPLAINTS. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP US!! *TR
