FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS DRIVING ON DELAWARE ROUTE # 1 DOING THE SPEED LIMIT (65MPH) IN MY 2004 GMC YUKONXL WHEN I LOST POWER TO THE VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER EVEN WITHIN FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. AFTER ASSESSING THE SITUATION I REALIZE THAT MY MOTOR WAS STILL RUNNING WITH THE DASH INDICATORS SHOWING THE ENGINE LIGHT AND THE REDUCED POWER SIGNAL LIGHT ON. WHEN TRAFFIC HAD CLEARED I ATTEMPTED TO GO BACK ON THE HIGHWAY BUT FOUND I COULD ONLY TRAVEL BETWEEN 35-40 MILES PER HOUR. KNOWING THAT THERE WAS A GM DEALER AHEAD IN 15-20 MILES I CONTINUED ON RT #1 SINCE THE SPEED LIMIT AHEAD WAS REDUCED TO 55MPH. WHEN I REACHED THE GM DEALER I.G.BURTON IN MILFORD DELAWARE I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND WAS TOLD THAT I PROBABLY HAD A BAD THROTTLE BODY (CARBURETOR) AND THAT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THEY SEEMED TO SAY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM. I WENT AHEAD AND HAD THE WORK DONE AT THAT POINT FOR A COST OF $568.32. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPEEDOMETER FAILURE ON 2004 YUKON XL. WORKS FINE UNTIL SUDDEN FAILURE. SOME SPORADIC ATTEMPTS TO WORK AFTER BUT SPEEDOMETER CAN EASILY BE OFF BY 30-40 MPH. THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE GM VEHICLES AND IS KNOWN BY GM. APPARENTLY THE STEPPER MOTORS MOVING THE NEEDLES ARE FAILING. THE SPEEDOMETER IS USUALLY FIRST (LIKE MINE) FOLLOWED BY THE OTHER GAUGES IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AS THEY ARE ALL DRIVEN BY SIMILAR STEPPER MOTORS. A REASONABLE EXPECTATION IS TO HAVE THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER GAUGES LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. A FAILURE HERE AND THERE IS UNDERSTANDABLE BUT WHEN YOU HAVE FAILURES AT THIS FREQUENCY GOING ON IT IS OBVIOUS THAT IT WAS UNDER DESIGNED. GM OFFERING TO STAND BEHIND ONLY IF IT FAILS UNDER 70K...MOST FAIL SHORTLY THEREAFTER. *TR

EQUIPMENT
THE ENTIRE AUDIO SYSTEM IN MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAS NO AUDIO. THE LIGHTS ARE ON SO IT APPEARS THAT IT SHOULD BE WORKING. YOU CAN TURN THE VOLUME COMPLETELY UP AND GET NO SOUND. THE AM/FM RADIO DOES NOT HAVE SOUND NOR DOES THE XM RADIO OR MY ON STAR. IF YOU STOP THE CAR, PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE IGNITION, OPEN THE DRIVERS DOOR, CLOSE THE DOOR, PUT THE KEY BACK IN AND RESTART THE CAR, IT WILL SOMETIMES RESTART THE RADIO (REBOOT THE SYSTEM). THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT 71,200 MILES THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY YUKON XL WENT OUT. I CALLED THE LOCAL GMC DEALER REGARDING ISSUE. I WAS ADVISED THAT IF I HAD SERVICED MY VEHICLE WITH THEM THEY COULD HAVE POSSIBLY MADE AN EXCEPTION. I WAS GIVEN THE 1800# TO CALL. AFTER CALLING THE 1800#, I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD INVESTIGATE THE MATTER. IN TWO WEEKS I WAS NOTIFIED THAT GMC WOULD BE UNABLE TO HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER BECAUSE THEY HAD ALREADY HELPED ME ENOUGH WITH THE SHAFT THAT HAD BEEN LUBRICATED SEVERAL TIMES AT NO COST TO ME. I REMINDED THEM THAT THIS WAS DUE TO THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT HAD TAKEN TIME FROM ME TAKING MY VEHICLE EVERY 3 TO 6 MONTHS TO GET OILED. LAST WEEK I TOOK MY YUKON TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND ASK THAT THEY OIL THE SHAFT AGAIN. I WAS INFORMED THEY NO LONGER DO THIS BECAUSE THEY CAME UP WITH THE PART TO REPLACE IT LAST YEAR 2007. BUT BECAUSE I'M OUT OF WARRANTY THEY CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE UNLESS I PAY. YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN REPLACED WHEN I TOOK IT IN IN NOVEMBER 2007 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND GET THAT SHAFT LUBRICATED. THAT WAS ANOTHER GMC DEALER. *TR

SOMETIMES THE DIAL STAYS AT 0MPH NO MATTER MY SPEED, SOMETIMES IT READS 120MPH NO MATTER THE SPEED, AND SOMETIMES IT READS 20MPH ABOVE AND BELOW THE ACTUAL SPEED LIMIT. GM HAS IDENTIFIED IS AS A PROBLEM BUT HAS NOT AGREED TO COVER ALL 2004 MODELS FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS BE SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED FOR A SYSTEM WIDE RECALL AND GM SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY TO RECTIFY THIS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
