ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. AFTER 5 MINUTE STOP WITH ENGINE OFF, SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED APPROX 55 WHILE GOING 25. PULLED OVER, STOPPED, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60. KEPT CLIMBING WHILE STOPPED. THEN WHEN DRIVING SPEED ADDED TO HIGHER SET POINT. READ OVER 100 MPH AT STOP 2 MILES LATER. THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/T2BGKBGI55EKNU77C/P11 CLEARLY NOT A NORMAL WEAR PROBLEM ON VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, YOU ARE TRAINED TO TRUST THE INSTRUMENTS, NOT YOUR INSTINCTS. SOME HAVE INDICATED PROBLEM OF SPEED READING TOO LOW, THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI FAILS. IT WILL EITHER READ 0 - 5, OR 70-100. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING. WHEN CALLING THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND WILL COST $500 - 700!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND AFTER RESEARCHING, HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS... PLEASE FORCE A RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD THIS REPAIR, NOR DO I THINK ANY OF US SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER...*NM

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
I PURCHASED A 2004 YUKON XL ON 10-19-04 AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLES AIR BAG SYSTEM EVER SINCE. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN ON AT LEAST 12 OCCASIONS, WITH REPEAT VISITS FOR SAME PROBLEM USUALLY THE SAME DAY. MY CAR HAS GIVEN OFF NUMEROUS CODES WHICH INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING: B0026, B0040, B0041, B0043, B2470, B0229, B3770. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO 3 SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS WHERE THEY HAVE REPLACED HARNESSES, WIRES, CONNECTORS ETC. NONE OF THIS SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. I HAVE FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS ALSO HAVE HAD NY HORN BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CALLED ONSTAR TO PERFORM DIAGNOSTICS ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAS NUMEROUS CODES COMING UP, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL CORRECTED, BECAUSE THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY ON ITS OWN OR IT MAY NOT DEPLOY IF MY CAR IS WRECKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $40,000 TO BUY A NEW ONE. I HAVE EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO GMC'S ARBITRATION DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY HAVE SENT ME SEVERAL LETTERS STATING THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO BUY MY CAR BACK. MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE NOT REPLACEABLE, AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I GET IN THE VEHICLE THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, AND THIS IS HORRIBLE FEELING FOR A MOTHER, WHOSE JOB IS TO PROTECT HER CHILDREN. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS, BUT ALL HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. IT IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT, IT IS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE. I TRULY BELIEVE AS MY KIDS HAVE SAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS TRULY POSSESSED, AND IN MY OPINION NOT FIXABLE. *NM

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THIS VEHICLE CONTINUES TO LEAVE US ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER IT IS THE FUEL PUMP. THEY HAVE REPLACED 3 TIMES NOW BUT STILL STALLING, WON'T START, DIES WHILE DRIVING, ETC... SO FAR THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED, THE DEALER JUST KEEPS CHANGING THE FUEL PUMP. THEY TELL US GM KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMPS ON THESE SUV'S. *NM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
MY CAR HAS COMPLETELY DIED THREE TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME WAS JULY 2004, THE SECOND TIME WAS EARLY OCT 2005 AND THE LAST TIME WAS JAN 19, 05. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THREE DIFFERENT STATES AT THREE VERY DIFFERENT ALTITUDES. WHEN THE CAR DIES I HAVE NO BRAKES, POWER STEERING OR ANYTHING ELSE FOR THAT MATTER. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER A WHILE. THE FIRST TIME IT DIED, I THOUGHT I WAS GOING OFF A CLIFF ON A PASS. THE LAST TWO TIMES WERE ON BUSY INTERSTATES. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC DURING THIS ENTIRE PERIOD OF EPISODES, NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY ARE VERY NICE BUT IT IS ONLY LIP SERVICE. I FINALLY GOT MY HANDS ON A GMC SERVICE BULLETIN DOCUMENT ID#1530787. IT DESCRIBES MY PROBLEMS EXACTLY. IT PARROTS WHAT I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP EVERY TIME I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN. I LIKE MY CAR AND JUST WANT IT FIXED. I AM GOING TO KILL MYSELF AND OR OTHERS IF I CANNOT CONTROL THE CAR WHEN IT DIES. I SAVED MY MONEY AND PAID CASH FOR THIS CAR AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER ONE. AND, I CANNOT SELL THIS CAR AS I WOULD NEED TO DISCLOSE ITS DEFECT. SO, I AM IN NEED OF HELP TO GET IT REPAIRED. THANKS. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT 80 MILES PER HOUR. THE PROCESS TO FIX THE VEHICLE REQUIRES THEM TO TAKE THE PART OFF SHIP IT TO DALLAS OR HOUSTON (MIN 3 DAYS W/O VEHICLE). REPAIRERS HAVE BEEN BEHIND (MIN 1 WEEK W/O VEHICLE). ACCORDING TO MY SERVICE PROVIDER THEY HAVE 5 OTHERS WAITING FOR THE SAME TYPE OF WORKED TO BE PERFORMED. IF THERE ARE 5 PEOPLE WAITING TO HAVE THEIR SPEEDOMETER REPAIRED (AT THE SAME TIME) SOUNDS LIKE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW HOW "ONE" STICKS THEIR SPEEDOMETER. *JB

SECOND ROW OUTSIDE SAFETY BELTS INTERMITTENTLY DO NOT RETRACT OR ALLOW EXTENSION. SEATS ARE PRESENTLY USED WITH BOOSTER SEATS FOR TWIN BOYS, AND INTERMITTENT FAILURES HAVE CAUSED US TO HAVE TO MOVE BOOSTERS TO OTHER SEATS FOR SAFETY REASONS. *JB

AIR BAGS
THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON AND OFF IN MY VEHICLE. WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MAY AND JUNE AND AGAIN IN NOVEMBER. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DETECT PROBLEM. GM HAS SPOKE WITH MYSELF AND THE DEALERSHIP. GM HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IS GOES ON AND OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND THERE IS NO PATTERN TO IT. IT DIDN'T COME ON FOR 3 MONTHS AND IS NOW COMING ON AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED ON-STAR WHEN IT COMES ON AT TIMES AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL GO OFF WHEN I'M JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE FOR THEM, MYSELF, OR THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I AM HIGHLY DISCOURAGED THAT GM IS NOT BEING MORE ACTIVE IN TRYING TO HELP WITH THIS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH! *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR
DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 YUKON XL WHICH HE HAD OWNED FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS WITH ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON IT. THE ROTORS HAD RUSTED AND PITTED ON ALL FOUR WHEELS. THE DEALER SAID THEY MUST BE REPLACED. GM SAID THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRAKES AND CALLED THIS AN ENVIRONMENTAL WEAR PROBLEM. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF THIS ON 10-06-05 DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE CHECK. THE CONTACT THOUGHT THIS WAS A DEFECT IN THE BRAKES ON BECAUSE THE ROTORS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAVE WORN OUT WITH ONLY 12,000 MILES ON THE CAR.*AK UPDATED 11/15/2005 - AFTER THE CONSUMER INDICATED HE WAS GOING TO CALL NHTSA HE RECEIVED A CALL FROM AN AREA REP. THE REP INDICATED THAT GM APPROVED REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT ROTORS AND CLEANING OF THE REAR BRAKES UNDER WARRANTY. *NM

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
ON AUGUST 15,2005 MY HUSBAND DROVE TO PORTLAND TO ATTEND OUR GRANDSONS BIRTHDAY PARTY. HE STOPPED TO PICK UP OUR SON AND HIS FAMILY TO TAKE TO OUR DAUGHTERS. LEAVING THEIR HOUSE HE PULLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES PER HOUR AND THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED OUTWARD AS IF BLOWN OUT FROM THE INSIDE. HE RECALLS THAT THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS OR HEARING ANY THING HIT THE WINDOW. THE DEALER AND GM HAS REFUSED TO PURSUE THIS SO WE REPLACED THE WINDOW. THE PROFESSIONAL WHO REPLACED OUR WINDOW SAID THAT IT APPEARED TO BLOW OUT FROM THE INSIDE. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS SEEN WINDOWS WHILE REPLACING THEM SHATTER FROM LITTLE PRESSURE. WE STRESSED TO OUR DEALER AND GM OUR CONCERN THAT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN SITTING IN THE BACK WERE NOT HURT.*JB
