TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO DISPLAY INACCURATE FUEL READINGS. BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER OF 2007, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AND REMAINS AT 120 MPH, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE GREASED BECAUSE IT MAKES A POPPING NOISE EVERY SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER CONCERNING THE FUEL GAUGE OR THE SPEEDOMETER AT THIS TIME. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER, WHICH HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 70,000 MILES. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND PURCHASE DATE WERE UNKNOWN.

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

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

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON BECAME VERY ERRATIC, DISPLAYING SPEEDS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY WAY TOO SLOW THAN WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I CANNOT TELL HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. GM SHOULD CONDUCT A RECALL AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE DRIVING HOME THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED READING ANY SPEED. IT SLOWLY DRIFTED DOWN TO 0 MPH. WHILE DRIVING I ACCELERATED THINKING THAT I WAS LOOSING SPEED ONLY TO FINALLY REALIZE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CAR HAS 70,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHICH I AM ASSUMING IS ACCURATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ITEM TO HAVE FAIL. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN APPROACHING A CURVE THE DRIVER WOULD THINK THAT THE CAR IS TRAVELING SLOWER THAN IT ACTUAL. MAKES AN OMINOUS CLICKING NOISE. THIS AM ON THE WAY TO WORK APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY!!! VERY STRANGE AND DEFINITELY NOT "PROFESSIONAL GRADE". *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF AN HOUR, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO READ SLOWER THAN I AM DRIVING AND SOMETIMES GOES TO ZERO, WHILE I AM OBVIOUSLY TRAVELING AT 60 TO 70 MPH. IF I GET OFF THE FREEWAY OR SLOW TO A STOP, IT USUALLY READS CORRECTLY FOR A WHILE, THEN GOES BACK TO READING SLOWLY AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS MY NOT KNOWING THE TRUE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE, I COULD GET A SPEEDING TICKET. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS YET AS IT IS A GM PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR IT. *JB

SPEEDOMETER IN 2004 GMC YUKON WAS ERRATIC AT FIRST INTERMITTENTLY, AND WAS NOW PERMANENTLY WAY OFF THE MARK. PERSONNEL CORRESPONDENCE WITH TWO DEALER SERVICE WRITERS CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS COMMON IN AT LEAST 2003 AND 2004 YUKON'S. NON WARRANTY CLUSTER REPLACEMENT AT $400.00 WAS FIX.ED. GM SHOULD ISSUE FACTORY RECALL. *AK
