I BOUGHT A USED 2004 GMC YUKON IN MARCH OF 2008, PREVIOUSLY IT HAD BEEN A FLEET VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN COLORADO, AND DROVE IT TO WASHINGTON STATE. SHORTLY AFTER WE ARRIVED, THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT GETS STUCK AT ETHER 25 RPMS, OR 75 RPMS. THE SPEEDOMETER READS ACCURATELY, AND ONLY RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN STICKING. I HAD GOTTEN A NOTICE THAT THESE PARTS HAD BEEN "RECALLED" BUT ONLY FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, FOR VEHICLES OVER 7,000 MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 6,500 MILES. WHEN I CALLED A GMC OFFICE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER FAILED. GM IS COVERING THE MALFUNCTION UP TO 70,000 MILES. I HAVE 80,000...IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON MALFUNCTION. GM WON'T COVER OVER 70,000 MILES. ITS A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOUR SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPMS, FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND OIL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 TO CORRECT THE FAILURES. SHE RECEIVED A LETTER THAT STATED THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE REPAIRS UNDER THE "DEFECT CAMPAIGN" DUE TO THE MILEAGE OF HER VEHICLE. REPAIRS WERE ONLY BEING MADE TO VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 110,000. UPDATED 05/05/09 *BF UPDATED 05/07/09.*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A 2004 YUKON DENALI XL, I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER BEING ERRATIC. I WILL BE DRIVING WITH TRAFFIC IN A 35 MPH ZONE LOOK AT MY SPEEDO IT SAYS I'M DOING 110 MPH. I WILL SCHEDULE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEN IT WILL WORK FINE FOR THE NEXT 3-6 MONTHS THEN IT WILL SCREW UP AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS IS VERY TROUBLESOME AS I REALLY NEVER AM SURE AT WHAT SPEED I AM GOING AND MY DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ITEM EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT MORE COMPLAINTS EXACTLY LIKE MINE ON THE INTERNET SO THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION. WHAT CAN BE DONE????? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON THAT HAS AN ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER. AT TIMES, IT WILL FREEZE UP. OTHER TIMES IT WILL DISPLAY THE INCORRECT SPEED INCLUDING FREEZING AT 0MPH. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT BY OWNERS OF VEHICLES CONTAINING THESE TYPES OF FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOT COVERED BY ANY SORT OF GMC WARRANTY AND/OR REPLACEMENT PLAN. THIS EQUIPMENT POSES A SAFETY THREAT AS I CANNOT DETERMINE THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE AND MORE ACCURATELY INTERPRET FOLLOWING DISTANCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GIVING FALSE READINGS, SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 10 MPH EVEN WHEN TRAVELING ANYTHING OVER TEN MPH. GAS NEEDLE IS NO LONGER READING ACCURATELY UNDER 1/4 TANK , WHICH HAS CAUSED SOME EMBARRASSING MOMENTS RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD FUEL. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS AN AVALANCHE AND HER INSTRUMENT PANEL IS DOING THE SAME THING, HER SPEEDOMETER AND TACH ARE NOW MALFUNCTIONING. HAS ANYONE MANAGED TO FIND OUT IF WE CAN GET THIS REPLACED VIA RECALL? *TR

IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON, THE SPEEDOMETER HANGS UP INDICATING A HIGHER SPEED THAN ACTUALLY TRAVELING. INITIALLY, THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AT INTERVALS GREATER THAN 6 MONTHS BUT SEEMS TO BE RECURRING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY - EVERY 2 WEEKS OR SO. UPON INITIAL PROBLEM BEING NOTICED, I FOUND THAT OTHER MODEL YEAR YUKONS HAD THIS ISSUE AND WERE REPAIRED, POSSIBLY UNDER RECALL BUT MY MODEL YEAR WAS EXCLUDED. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILED. UNSAFE SITUATION. SPEEDOMETER IS CURRENTLY REGISTERING ERRONEOUS READINGS. GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS PROBLEM AND IS REPLACING SPEEDOMETERS IN VEHICLES WITH UNDER 70,000 MILES. MY 2004 GMC HAS 88,000 MILES AND IS NOT COVERED BY THEIR CURRENT CAMPAIGN. SPEEDOMETER INDICATES 60MPH WHILE IN PARK. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, THE LATCH PULLED, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE LATCH WOULD REMAIN STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION; THEREFORE, THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AS WELL. THE CONTACT MUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND PUSH THE HANDLE BACK INTO PLACE IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, ALL FOUR DOORS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. WHILE AN OCCUPANT WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, HE LEANED UP AGAINST THE DOOR AND IT OPENED. THE OCCUPANT FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT AT THE TIME. THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE VIN WAS UNABLE TO BE ENTERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2004 GMC YUKON DENALI - TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGE COMES ON AFTER A STOP WHEN YOU START TO GO AGAIN AND IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO GO. THE VEHICLE STARTED DOING THIS ABOUT 20K. WE HAVE TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE BUT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS DUE TO NO CODE IN THE COMPUTER. FINALLY AT 47K WE TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND MADE THE DEALERSHIP RIDE WITH US AND THE TRUCK DID THIS, THEY REPLACED A SENSOR BUT NOW WE ARE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER ISSUES THAT WE NEVER HAD BEFORE, THE ABS LIGHT IS COMING ON, SERVICE STABILITY LIGHT AND THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF LIGHT COME ON. I CAN'T BELIEVE AFTER ALL THIS TIME THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, IT IS GETTING VERY COSTLY HAVING THE TRUCK IN EVERY FEW WEEKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. WHILE REMOVING THE THIRD ROW SEAT FROM THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF THE PART USED TO PROPERLY LATCH THE SEAT TO THE FLOORBOARD FAILED. WITHOUT THIS PIECE, THE SEAT IS DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HE MUST PURCHASE THE WHOLE PART RATHER THAN THE PIECE THAT FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I VERY RARELY USE MY REAR GLASS HATCH OF MY 2004 YUKON, BUT RECENTLY WHEN HAVING TO LOAD UP MY YUKON TO EVACUATE HURRICANE GUSTAV. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOAD POP AND NOTICED THAT THE LEFT REAR GLASS HINGE HAD BROKEN UP. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY HAVE THE REPLACEMENT IN STOCK, BUT SINCE THEY DO NOT DEEM IT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I FIND THIS SHOCKING SINCE THEY KNOW THAT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY KEEP THIS ITEM IN STOCK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CHARGE YOU $900 TO REPLACE IT. *TR

WE PURCHASED OUR GMC DENALI USED IN JULY 2007. IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED SOMETIMES THAT WHEN I WOULD LOOK AT THE SPEEDOMETER IT WOULD SAY THAT I WAS DOING ABOUT 40 MPH, WHEN I KNEW THAT I WAS NOT GOING THAT SPEED. I WAS KEEPING UP WITH TRAFFIC WHEN I FIRST NOTICED IT AND THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55MPH. ABOUT A MONTH LATER I NOTICED THAT THE SPEED ODOMETER WOULD SAY I WAS NOT MOVING AT ALL THAT MY SPEED WAS 0, AND I WOULD BE DRIVING AT THE TIME. THEN IN JULY OF THIS YEAR WE WERE COMING BACK FROM A FAMILY DAY TRIP AND WE WERE PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING. THE OFFICER INFORMED US THAT WE WERE GOING ABOUT 55 WHEN THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 40. ACCORDING TO THE SPEED ODOMETER WE WERE GOING THE SPEED LIMIT. NOW WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE I AM EITHER GO NO SPEED AT ALL OR THE SPEED ODOMETER STARTS GOING CRAZY OR GETS STUCK AT 40MPH. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FINE ANY RECALL ON THIS MATTER. *TR
