SPEEDOMETER WILL SHOW 100 MPH WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH. VERY UNSAFE IF YOU CAN'T REGULATE YOUR SPEED CORRECTLY TO MATCH THE DRIVING CONDITIONS. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
IN OCT 06 MY SPEEDOMETER STARTED STICKING AND 120+ EVEN WHEN SITTING STILL. I CHECKED WITH A LOCAL SHOP AND WAS ADVISED IT WOULD NEED TO BE RECALIBRATED WHICH INVOLVED TAKING THE DASH APART SENDING IT OFF AND BEING WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR 5-7 DAYS. I COULDN'T DO THAT AT THE TIME. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER IT JUST STARTED WORKING AGAIN AND HAD WORKED FINE UNTIL 12/22/06 AND NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN ALL THE TIME. I JUST THINK FOR WHAT THESE VEHICLES COST THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF. I FEAR EVERYDAY OF GETTING A TICKET, BUT AT THIS TIME I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR OR BEING WITHOUT MY VEHICLE FOR A WEEK. *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE HINGE HOLDING THE REAR WINDOW TO THE LIFTGATE IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE GLASS. I AM AFRAID THAT THE WINDOW IS GOING TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO, THE WINDOW HAS SHIFTED FROM ITS INTENDED POSITION SO THAT WHENEVER I OPEN THE LIFTGATE, THE TOP OF THE WINDOW CATCHES ON THE TOP OF THE BODY. *JB

I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON XL DENALI THAT HAS A FAULTY SPEEDOMETER; DOESN'T WORK, OR WORKS ERRATICALLY, READS ZERO WHEN DOING 60. IF YOU TURN THE ENGINE OFF IT SEEMS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, BUT ONLY BRIEFLY. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I'VE SEEN REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, I TRULY BELIEVE GM SHOULD RECALL THIS IN THE INTERESTS OF SAFETY. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS INDICATING A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF SPEED THAN I WAS GOING 120 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND STOPPED BUT THE SPEEDOMETER ONLY WENT DOWN TO 60 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. HAVE NOT REPAIRED PROBLEM. DEALER WANTS 750.00 TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I WAS REFERRED TO THIS SITE AFTER READING MORE THAN 180 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON SIMILAR GMC MODELS. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
I WAS DRIVING MY DAUGHTER HOME FROM TUTORING WHEN I REALIZED THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I HAPPENED TO BE ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE TIME SO I KEPT UP WITH THE OTHER CARS, BUT GOING DOWN THE STREETS TO OUR HOUSE IN THE DARK MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE. SOMETIMES IT STICKS AT ZERO AND OTHER TIMES IT MAXS OUT AT 120 MPH. THE DEALER I CALLED SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WOULD COST ABOUT $600+ TO FIX AND ALSO IT WOULD TAKE A FEW DAYS. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE SPEEDOMETER INCORRECTLY READS THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 20 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS 70MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL THE SPEEDOMETER IS ON 35MPH. GM DEALER THINKS THE PROBLEM IS THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND RECOMMENDS IT TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $400. THIS GAUGE CLUSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED IN THE PAST UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO INCORRECT FUEL LEVELS. *NM

I HAVE A REPEATING FAILURE OF THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 GMC YUKON WITH 53K MILES. WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 60-70 MPH FASTER THAN ACTUALLY TRAVELING. WHILE PARKED THE GAUGE WILL STICK AT A RANDOM SPEED ABOVE 0. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO PROPERLY KNOW MY SPEED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE READ THIS PROBLEM IS PREVALENT WITH GMC/CHEVY TRUCKS AND FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR MY SPEEDOMETER. *NM

#10172716November 6, 2006
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATICALLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, THE SPEEDOMETER READS ANYWHERE FROM 30 - 80 MPH. THEN WHEN DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER GOES PAST 120 MPH WHILE DRIVING 30 - 50 MPH. BASICALLY, DOES NOTHING BUT CONFUSES THE DRIVER AND I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT IT IS NOT TRACKING THE MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER AS IF YOU WERE TRAVELING AT THE 120 MPH RATE.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ARRIVED HOME ONE EVENING AND NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 43 MPH WHILE SITTING STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY. AT FIRST IT WAS ACCURATE BY SUBTRACTING THE ERROR TO CALCULATE THE SPEED BUT HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME ERRATIC IN IT'S INACCURACY TO THE POINT OF TOTAL UNRELIABILITY. I FEAR THE CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO NOT BEING ABLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED, SUCH AS TRAFFIC TICKETS AND SUCH. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS I TRAVEL THROUGH NUMEROUS SCHOOL ZONES IN MY DAILY TRAVELS. IT REMAINS UNREPAIRED AND WILL BE SO SINCE I DON'T HAVE $500 LAYING AROUND TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM, WHICH TELLS ME THERE IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN, AND AS SUCH I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES BY GENERAL MOTORS CORP. *NM
