2004 GMC Yukon Denali

ON THE DATE LISTED BELOW, MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO REGISTER INCORRECT SPEEDS. IT THEN BECAME STUCK ON 70 MPH WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. IT HAS NOT STOPPED WORKING ALL THE WAY AND IS STUCK AT 140MPH. WHILE AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP GETTING MY OIL CHANGED, I ASKED AN ATTENDANT IF HE WAS GETTING MANY SPEEDOMETER REPAIRS FOR MY MAKE/MODEL. HE STATED THAT HE HAS REPLACED MANY AND THAT THE PROBLEM IS A FAULTY "STEP MOTOR"?? I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND HE STATED "HE WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH ANY PROBLEMS." HE STATED HE WOULD FIX MY SPEEDOMETER FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. THE SERVICE TECH STATED THE MOTOR COSTS $10. I HAVE READ A FEW THREADS ON THE TOPIC AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND NOT THE PROPER RESPONSE FROM THE MAKER. BASICALLY A DEFECTIVE PART AND A CAR COMPANY MAKING LOTS OF MONEY TO REPAIR IT. VEHICLE I OWN IS A 2004 YUKON DENALI. *TR

MY 2004 GMC DENALI HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND GAS GAGE NOT SHOWING CORRECT READINGS. SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 50,60,70 WHEN YOU ARE ONLY GOING 30. SOMETIMES ON THE HIGHWAY I AM PASSING EVERYONE AND HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW FAST I AM GOING. I CAN BE GOING PRETTY FAST JUST SETTING STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT SOMETIMES. AND I HAVE NO CLUE AS TO HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE ANYMORE. THEY SENT OUT A LETTER THAT STATED THAT THEY WOULD FIX THIS AND EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS OR 70,000 MILES WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. WELL MY VEHICLE HAS 108000 MILES ON IT, BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT TO TRAVEL IN AND WE DRIVE IT. THEY DON'T CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, SO NO RECALL. SINCE WHEN DOES DRIVING 90 MILES AN HOUR WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING 70 NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? OR PERHAPS RUNNING OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE AND FREEZING TO DEATH. *TR

TL* CONTACT OWNS 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE VINYL ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CONSOLE BETWEEN SEATS IS PEELING. DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 75,600 UPDATED 01/08/08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE RIGHT AXLE WAS LEAKING. THE BLOWER MOTOR WAS REPLACED. THE ODOMETER WAS OFF. IT WAS READING 1 MILE FASTER THAN THE ACTUAL SPEED THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE. UPDATED *JB

WHILE DRIVING HOME THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED READING ANY SPEED. IT SLOWLY DRIFTED DOWN TO 0 MPH. WHILE DRIVING I ACCELERATED THINKING THAT I WAS LOOSING SPEED ONLY TO FINALLY REALIZE THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE CAR HAS 70,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHICH I AM ASSUMING IS ACCURATE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ITEM TO HAVE FAIL. THIS COULD EASILY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN APPROACHING A CURVE THE DRIVER WOULD THINK THAT THE CAR IS TRAVELING SLOWER THAN IT ACTUAL. MAKES AN OMINOUS CLICKING NOISE. THIS AM ON THE WAY TO WORK APPEARED TO BE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY!!! VERY STRANGE AND DEFINITELY NOT "PROFESSIONAL GRADE". *JB
