ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY VEHICLE IS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING, AND WHEN (THE GAUGE) IS TRYING TO OPERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE GAUGE DOES THE SAME AS WELL AS THE GAS GAUGE. I KNOW ALL MY DASHBOARD GAUGES NEED TO BE CHECKED FOR MALFUNCTION. THIS BEGAN TWO WEEKS AGO, I CALLED DOUG HENRY OF FARMVILLE TO CHECK MY VEHICLE FOR RECALLS, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT IS NOT LISTED. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2003 GMC YUKON XL, HE RECEIVED A LETTER DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM AND GOT INFORMATION TO GET IT FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED IN THIS PARTICULAR RECALL. *TR

STEERING
PROBLEMS WITH STEERING KNUCKLE/COLUMN SINCE PURCHASE. DEALER WELL AWARE OF ISSUES WITH THIS PROBLEM. STEERING PART WAS REPLACED WHICH ONLY SOLVED PROBLEM WITH LOOSENESS AND NOISE TEMPORARILY. SECOND REPAIR "EXERCISED" THE STEERING KNUCKLE WHICH WAS NOT EFFECTIVE. STEERING FEELS LOOSE AND NOISE, KNOCKING WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL OR GOING OVER BUMPY TERRAIN. *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. SECONDLY, THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL WERE INOPERATIVE. THIRDLY, THE BATTERY CONSTANTLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. LASTLY, WHEN SWITCHING GEARS ON THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE.

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

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI AND AT 43,000 MILES, ONLY 3 YEARS OLD (IF THAT) IN AUGUST OF 2006, MY SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED ONE DAY BUT ONLY AFTER STICKING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS ON 20-30 MPH. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST $435 TO FIX IT; BUT, I REFUSED BECAUSE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I BOUGHT IT IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC. AFTER RESEARCHING I FOUND OUT I WAS NOT ALONE IN OWNING A GM DEFECT, AS WELL AS, GM'S KNOWLEDGE OF THIS DEFECT SINCE AT LEAST 2003 IF NOT LONGER. THIS SHOWS A FLAGRANT DISREGARD FOR OUR SAFETY AND A VOLUNTARILY DECEITFUL ACT ON GMC'S BEHALF THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

PARKING BRAKE
I HAVE 2003 GMC YUKON WITH ONLY 43K THAT I BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN '03. THE PROBLEM IS ITS PREMATURE WEAR OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WAS TOLD BY A GM MECHANIC THAT MY PARKING BRAKE IS ABOUT TO FAIL DUE TO WORN SHOES. HOW IS THAT SO? I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD THE CHANCE TO REPLACE MY BRAKE PADS JUST YET. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT MY PARKING BRAKE SHOES WEAR OUT WAY BEFORE MY BRAKE PADS DO, THAT I USED EVERY TIME I DRIVE? *TR

STEERING
I PURCHASED THE 2003 YUKON USED IN DECEMBER 2006. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THIS SUV I NOTICED THE CLUNKING SOUND AND COULD FEEL IT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. WITHIN A FEW MONTHS I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE LACK OF STEERING ASSIST. THEN LAST WEEK WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ONTO A SIDE STREET, THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP CAUSING ME TO ALMOST SIDE SWIPE A CAR IN THE OPPOSING LANE. I HAD TO JAM ON MY BRAKES TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO THE OTHER CAR. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ISSUED, BUT COULD NOT LOCATE ANY DOCUMENTATION. I RESEARCHED YOUR WEB SITE AND FOUND DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME STEERING FAILURE, BUT NO RECALL INFORMATION WAS FOUND. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
