2004 GMC Yukon Denali

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, A LOUD NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARE TIRE THAT WAS LOCATED UNDER THE VEHICLE DETACHED AND FELL TO THE GROUND. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE ASSEMBLY THAT SECURES THE SPARE TIRE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

AS I SLOWED EXITING A FREEWAY ABOUT 35 MPH, I HEARD A SCREECH & A BIT OF LOSS OF POWER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT INTO REVERSE FOR PARKING (LATER) IT WAS APPARENT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. AS I INVESTIGATED ON LINE IT WAS AN ONGOING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM DUE TO "LESS THAN ROBUST PARTS" INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. GM DEALER-SERVICE REP. JOHN AT ZUBOR AGREED WITH THIS AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT GM SINCE IT WAS, JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT TOOK GM TWO WEEKS OR MORE TO REPLY & RETURN MY CALLS & EMAILS, WHEN OF COURSE I WAS TOLD A GM DEALER MUST DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM--VEHICLE WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AT THAT POINT BY MY OWN MECHANIC. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION & SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAD NO PROMISE OF GM ASSISTANCE, I TOOK IT WHERE I COULD! I PAID $1850.00 FOR A NEW TRANS WITH WARRANTY. I WOULD NOT BE WRITING EXCEPT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM & THE GM TECH ON LINE SAID THERE WAS "NOTHING YOU COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING SINCE THE INTERIOR PARTS ARE WEAK". GM TECH COMMENTED GM HAD BEGAN USING MORE "ROBUST PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT, BUT DUE TO HIGH LABOR COSTS (INTERIOR PARTS) HE SUGGESTED TO REPLACE TRANS SO YOU WOULD HAVE A WARRANTY". THIS IS ALSO WHAT OUR MECHANIC ADVISED. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 1:54 PM I WAS LEAVING WORK AND I DIDN'T GET ABOUT 1,000 FEET WHEN I BEGAN TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA WHERE THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS. I PULLED OVER INTO A GAS STATION AND TOOK THE CUP HOLDERS OUT TRYING TO SEARCH WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. I THEN SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I ALSO SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND MORE SMOKE WITH COMING FROM THE VENT. I OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND SAW THAT BEHIND THE CENTER CONSOLE JUST UNDER THE CD PLAY, THE WIRES WERE ON FIRE AND THE FIRE CONTINUED TO BECOME LARGER. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AT 1:56 PM AND AGAIN AT 1:59 PM WHEN THEY ARRIVED AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WAS BURNING. THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY MELTED ALONG WITH THE CONTROLS ABOVE BY THE SUNROOF. THE VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE LOSS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED AT MY JOB FOR MORE THAN 6 HOURS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO GO HOME. I SUSTAINED SMOKE INHALATION AND HEAT BURNS ON MY FACE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL, TREATED AND RELEASE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI AND AS I SEE FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE ME MY CLUSTER HAS WENT OUT. I HAVE NO USE OF MY DASHBOARD AT ALL. NO USE OF GAS GAUGE. NO USE OF SPEEDOMETER. NO USE OF OIL GAUGE. NO USE OF ANYTHING ON DASH. WHY AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS HAS GMC NOT DONE ANYTHING. IF THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON NOW WITH IGNITION SWITCH THEY WILL PAY SO MUCH MORE WITH LAWSUITS. I WILL BE THE FIRST IN LINE, CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE RAN OFF THE ROAD FOR LACK OF GAS

I STARTED MY CAR AND WHILE I WAS IN PARK THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 70MPH. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT WOULD REGISTER OVER 120MPH. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT SPEED I WAS TRULY GOING.

I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM...HELP?? *TR
