THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT SPEED. IT DOESN'T START AT ZERO. ONCE IT READ LOWER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED BUT USUALLY IT IS HIGHER. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHILE LEAVING FOR OUR CHRISTMAS TRIP, I NOTICED THAT IT SEEMED THAT TRAFFIC WAS TRAVELING A LOT FASTER THAN USUAL. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 76 MPH!! SINCE THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUES TO GET STUCK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! MY GMC YUKON IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 61000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $600-800 EST TO FIX THE PROBLEM PLUS RENTAL CAR FOR THE DAYS THAT THE WHOLE DASH OF MY CAR WAS SENT OUT TO BE RECONDITIONED. THE SERVICE TECH MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMETIMES IT TOOK MORE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT OTHER INSTRUMENTS COULD BE FAILING ON THE DASH. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS REPAIR PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET ON THE ISSUE AND NO OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BY GM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!! I DRIVE CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND THEIR SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE COMPROMISED IN THIS MANNER. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE SHORT LENGTH OF TIME THAT I HAVE HAD IT, THERE SHOULD NOT BE SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY!! *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON, IN 2005. OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY - WHEN IT IS HOT OR HUMID THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO JUMP A LITTLE THEN STARTS TO REGISTER A HIGHER SPEED THAN I AM MOVING. FOR EXAMPLE: I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY SPEEDOMETER READ 90 MPH. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND REPEATEDLY START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER READING WOULD REDUCE BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AT A TIME, WHICH MEANS I HAD TO START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE 18 OR MORE TIMES FOR IT TO RETURN TO 0. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER REPAIR DEPARTMENT WHO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON - EVIDENTLY THIS IS QUITE THE COMMON THING WITH THESE TRUCKS AND OTHERS - AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED. PRICING AROUND $375 FOR THE PART AND ANOTHER $100 OR SO FOR INSTALLATION. I HAVE INVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM, WITH GM VEHICLES, AND THERE ARE FAR TOO NUMEROUS OUT THERE FOR THIS TO BE A SINGLE INCIDENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. IN MY OPINION, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR WITH A RECALL. I CAN SEE WHERE IT WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE ALARM AS FAR AS A SAFETY CONCERN. FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT YET, BUT DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT I ALSO SAW ON AN INTERNET WEBSITE FOR LAWYERS THAT THEY ARE GATHERING COMPLAINTS TOGETHER FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO REPORT THIS FOR INVESTIGATION FIRST. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME WHEN I GO TO THE GAS STATION AND TRY TO PUMP GAS, THE PUMP ALWAYS SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS WHEN I PUMP GAS MANUALLY OR USE THE LEVER ON THE GAS PUMP. I PULL OUT THE GAS NOZZLE AND RE-INSERT IT AND IT CONTINUALLY HAPPENS. IT IS VERY ANNOYING TRYING TO FILL UP THE 26 GALLON GAS TANK. *NM

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, SPEEDOMETER 'FAILED' TO THE NEEDLE POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN. I DROVE ANOTHER 10 MINUTES HOME, SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE NEVER MOVED. CYCLING ENGINE OFF/ON SEEMED TO CAUSE THE NEEDLE TO 'DECREASE' INDICATED SPEED BY ABOUT 10 MPH WITH EACH CYCLING. AFTER CYCLING THE IGNITION ABOUT 15 TIMES WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, SPEED AGAIN READ 0. STARTING THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE INDICATOR STILL READ 0, AND WHEN DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK, THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO WORK AGAIN. DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH FOR POSSIBLE FIXES, I FOUND A WEB-SITE FULL OF PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES WITH COMPARABLE GMC VEHICLES. IS THERE A RECALL IN THE WORKS? *NM

ERRATIC SPEED SHOWN ON SPEEDOMETER. SHOWS ZERO AT ONE TIME AND THEN READ MAX OUT AT 120. TOOK IT TO HAVE REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD HAD NUMEROUS OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. COST TO REPAIR $600!!! I FOUND A WEBSITE WITH 209 POSTED COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ATTENTION. WITH A POSSIBLE INTERACTION WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO MENTION INACCURATE SPEED. *NM

STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
THE LEFT REAR LIFT GLASS HINGE WELD FAILED RESULTING IN THE NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT. THE CLAIM WAS DENIED BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY PROGRAM BECAUSE THE DEFECT INVOLVES A HINGE. THE HINGE DID NOT FAIL THE WELD TO THE HINGE FAILED. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED OR BE A RECALL ITEM DUE UNDER STRUCTURAL FAILURE. *JB

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST MY OIL GAUGE STARTED GIVING FALSE READINGS ON MY 2004 GMC DENALI, I COULD LIVE WITH THAT. THEN MY SPEEDOMETER READINGS ARE ALL OVER THE PLACE...ALL THE TIME WITH DIFFERENT READINGS. I AM SCARED FOR MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS. FROM READING ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON GMC VEHICLES AND I FEEL SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY GMC TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM!!! *NM

I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE SPEEDOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING ,IT DISPLAYS INCORRECT ERRATIC SPEEDS, MAXING OUT AT 40 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAST I AM DRIVING. RECENTLY ON A LOCAL FREEWAY I ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT WHEN THE TRAFFIC SLOWED AHEAD AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING 30 MPH BUT MY ACTUAL SPEED WAS ABOUT 65. IT NEARLY KILLED ME. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM.

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON BECAME VERY ERRATIC, DISPLAYING SPEEDS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY WAY TOO SLOW OR WAY TO FAST THAN WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I CANNOT TELL HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. GM SHOULD CONDUCT A RECALL AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

MY 2004 GMC YUKON STARTED HAVING SPEEDOMETER TROUBLES A FEW MONTHS AGO. SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK JUST FINE, BUT SOMETIMES IT WOULD READ 120 MPH WHEN I WAS PARKED, OR SOMETIMES IT WOULD READ 0 MPH WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. SOME DAYS IT WOULD WORK JUST FINE, OTHER DAYS, IT WAS VERY OFF. IT GOT TO WHERE I COULD NOT RELY ON MY SPEEDOMETER TO TELL HOW FAST I WAS GOING. I HAD TO USE A GPS TO GET MY SPEED. *NM
