ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER IS ERRATIC, USUALLY SHOWING 130 MPH. THE OIL GAUGE AND GAS GAUGE HAVE NOW STOPPED WORKING AS WELL. WE CAN ONLY GAUGE OUR SPEED BY USING A GPS. IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND WE HAVE OVER 100,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED HE RECEIVED AN INFORMATIONAL LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER IN REGARDS TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. HE HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE AT THE TIME. SIX MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED HE WAS TRAVELING AT 120 MPH. THE DEALER ADVISED THE DEALER HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR REPAIRS TO VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 70,000 ACCRUED MILES. THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE HAD 79,000 MILES. THE REPAIRS WOULD BE AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS LATER CONTACTED AND ADVISED THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED PAST 70,000 TO 80,000 MILES HOWEVER, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE HAD VERY RECENTLY PASSED 80,000 MILES. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 79,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE DOING 75 MPH. THE SPEEDOMETER JUST GOES DOWN TO 25 OR 30 MPH FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THEN TO ZERO AND STAYS THERE. I HAVE TO SHUT ENGINE OFF TO RESET SPEEDOMETER, THEN IT WORKS FOR ANOTHER COUPLE HUNDRED MILES. THIS HAS TO BE UNSAFE. I HAVE 95000 MILES NOW.

STEERING
SINCE 40-45K MILES MY GMC YUKON 1500 XL HAS HAD A TERRIBLE SLACK IN THE STEERING. AS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, GUST OF WIND SHIFTS THE VEHICLE HALF A LANE TO THE OTHER SIDE. THERE'S BEEN TIMES I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN THE OTHER LANE. EVERYTIME I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A CHECK, THE DEALERSHIP WAS LESS THAN MOTIVATED TO EVEN CHECK THE PROBLEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER OPERATES ERRATICALLY IF AT ALL. VEHICLE HAS 100,000 MILES AND GM WILL ONLY REPLACE THE CLUSTER IF UNDER 70,000 MILES. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK. *TR

WITH THE RECENT GM RECALL ON POWERSTEERING MOTORS I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A PROBLEM. I OWN A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. I HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MY POWERSTEERING AS DESCRIBED WITH THE COBOLTS AND PONTIACS. . THE FLUID AND PUMP HAVE BEEN CHECKED AND WERE FINE. *TR

EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT I WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF 120MPH. I TOOK MY 2004 YUKON TO THE GARAGE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED (AT A COST OF $800.00). THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THE 2004 YUKON AND THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. MY QUESTION TO GMC IS, HOW MANY DEATHS DOES IT TAKE TO GET A RECALL? THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS SO. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK USED, AND THE WARRANTY IS NO LONGER VALID. MY SISTER OWNS A 2005 YUKON THAT SHE JUST PURCHASED (STILL UNDER WARRANTY) AND HER INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS JUST REPLACED LAST WEEK. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRACTION ACTIVE APPEARS ON DISPLAY - WHILE STOPPED AT A VERY DANGEROUS INTERSECTION, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR ONLY TO HAVE THE TRACTION ACTIVE LIGHT APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS AND THEN PRESS IT AGAIN IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO MOVE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AS I AM UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AT AN APPROPRIATE SPEED IN ORDER TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT WHILE TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER READING ERRATIC SPEEDS (I.E. 110 MPH WHILE DRIVING 80 MPH) I THOUGHT IT WOULD GO BACK TO 0 MPH WHEN I STOPPED BUT IT DIDN'T. INSTEAD IT WENT PASSED 120 MPH AND HAS BEEN THERE EVER SINCE. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM I NOTICED HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME VEHICLE. I HAVE A GPS THAT TELLS ME HOW FAST I'M GOING SO I CAN STILL DRIVE IT BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR FREAKS OUT BEHIND THE WHEEL. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
UPON TAKING DELIVERY OF VEHICLE ERRATIC ELECTRICAL PROBLEM EXISTED. OFTEN ONLY THE FRONT DOORS WOULD LIKE, LEAVING THE BACK DOORS AND REAR DOOR UNLOCKED. OFTEN UPON INSERTING KEY IN IGNITION, DRIVERS SEAT WOULD ZOOM FORWARD PUSHING OCCUPANT AGAINST STEERING WHEEL. WHILE DRIVING, OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS WOULD RETRACT FOR NO REASON. DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THOUGH MANY SERVICE NOTES EXIST. LATELY, THE AMP GAUGE FAILED HOWEVER AMPERAGE IS NOT AFFECTED. NEXT THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWED 38 MPH WHILE NOT MOVING. IT IS TOTALLY NOW INOPERATIVE, VARYING FROM NEVER LEAVING ZERO TO SHOWING 80 WHILE GOING 20 MPH. SINCE I CANNOT TRUST THE ACCURACY OF ANY GAUGE, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST I AM DRIVING OR ANY OF THE OTHER VITAL INSTRUMENT READINGS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. ALL OF THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL HAVE FAILED. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER STATED THAT SINCE HER VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED 80,00 MILES SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $500.00 FOR THE REPAIR. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE FOR HER MODEL TYPE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 111,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY 2004 GMC YUKON SPEEDOMETER (MANUAL NEEDLE-TYPE) JUST KEEPS INCREASING ITS SPEED READING UNTIL IT "PEGS-OUT" AT THE 130 MPH MARK. IF YOU TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTART THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP-BACK ABOUT 5 MPH. SO IF ONE DOES THIS 25 TIMES, IT WILL ZERO ITSELF OUT. AFTER ONLY SHORT AMOUNTS OF DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL AGAIN START INCREASING ITS READY AGAIN. IT APPEARS TO INCREASE THE READING AS ONE INCREASES IN SPEED, BUT DOESN'T DECREASE THE SPEED AS ONE DECREASES THEIR SPEED. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR ACTUAL SPEED. FORTUNATELY MY GPS HAS SPEED READOUTS, BUT IT IS DELAYED BY ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 21000 MILES ON MY YUKON, SO THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN OR "WORN-OUT" THIS QUICKLY. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
THE ABS TRACTION CONTROL ON MY 2004 YUKON DENALI ACTIVATES ON DRY ROADS AND NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. WHILE PULLING OUT ONTO THE ROAD, THE TRACTION CONTROL KICKED IN AND CUT POWER TO THE TRUCK. I COULDN'T ACCELERATE AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I OWN A 2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AS THEY CALL IS BROKEN. GMC KNOW OF THIS AND IT EFFECT THOUSAND OF VEHICLE THAT THEY MAKE. INCLUDING ENVOY, TAHOE, YUKON, AND DENALI. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST I'M GOING, IF MY TANK IS FULL OR EMPTY OR TEMPERATURE OR MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION. I ALMOST BECAME A VICTIM, MY CLUSTER RECENTLY BECAME BROKEN AFTER AN ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT. I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY VEHICLE CUT OFF WITH ME NEXT TO A BIG RIG. I'M TRYING TO CONTROL A BIG SUBURBAN AND WITHOUT POWER FOR MY POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS A [XXX] TO STEER. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT WHEN I LEFT THE HOUSE MY FUEL SAID 3/4 AND 15 MILES LATER I'M ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WONDERING WHY MY TRUCK WONT START. COME TO FIND OUT, I RAN OUT OF GAS WITH MT GAUGE STILL ON 3/4. NOW MY SPEED IS ERRATIC AND I HAVE NO CLUE HOW FAST I AM GOING IF IT WERE NOT FOR MY GPS UNIT. ANYWAY I CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID ITS A WARRANTY ISSUE AND IF I'M OVER 80,000 MILE THEY CANT HELP. [XXX] THE WARRANTY THIS IS A LAW SUIT WAITING TO BE FILED. ALL ITS GOING TO TAKE IS A POOR SOUL THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND FIND THEM SELF 6FT UNDER. *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
MY SPEEDOMETER FAILED ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FOR THIS FOR MODEL YEAR 2003-2006, BUT ONLY UP TO 80,000. I HAD 104,000 WHEN THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MY VEHICLE. IT COST ME $600 TO GET THIS DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SHOULD NOT HAVE A LIMIT ON MILEAGE. NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING CAN CAUSE PROBLEMS ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. BY DRIVING TO SLOW, ONE CAN CAUSE OTHER DRIVERS TO ERRATICALLY PASS AND ZOOM BY YOU OR DRIVING TO FAST CAN CAUSE OTHER DRIVERS TO HURRIEDLY GET OUT OF YOUR WAY AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THIS IS MORE THAN LIKELY THE CAUSE OF A SPEEDING TICKET I GOT BACK IN MAY 2009. IT POSSIBLY WAS ACTING UP, BUT DIDN'T COMPLETELY FAIL UNTIL JULY 2009. *TR
