2004 GMC Yukon Xl

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. AFTER 5 MINUTE STOP WITH ENGINE OFF, SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED APPROX 55 WHILE GOING 25. PULLED OVER, STOPPED, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60. KEPT CLIMBING WHILE STOPPED. THEN WHEN DRIVING SPEED ADDED TO HIGHER SET POINT. READ OVER 100 MPH AT STOP 2 MILES LATER. THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/T2BGKBGI55EKNU77C/P11 CLEARLY NOT A NORMAL WEAR PROBLEM ON VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, YOU ARE TRAINED TO TRUST THE INSTRUMENTS, NOT YOUR INSTINCTS. SOME HAVE INDICATED PROBLEM OF SPEED READING TOO LOW, THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *NM

WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI FAILS. IT WILL EITHER READ 0 - 5, OR 70-100. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING. WHEN CALLING THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND WILL COST $500 - 700!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND AFTER RESEARCHING, HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS... PLEASE FORCE A RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD THIS REPAIR, NOR DO I THINK ANY OF US SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER...*NM

I PURCHASED A 2004 YUKON XL ON 10-19-04 AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLES AIR BAG SYSTEM EVER SINCE. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN ON AT LEAST 12 OCCASIONS, WITH REPEAT VISITS FOR SAME PROBLEM USUALLY THE SAME DAY. MY CAR HAS GIVEN OFF NUMEROUS CODES WHICH INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE FOLLOWING: B0026, B0040, B0041, B0043, B2470, B0229, B3770. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO 3 SEPARATE DEALERSHIPS WHERE THEY HAVE REPLACED HARNESSES, WIRES, CONNECTORS ETC. NONE OF THIS SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED. I HAVE FOR THE LAST 6 MONTHS ALSO HAVE HAD NY HORN BLOWING INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE CALLED ONSTAR TO PERFORM DIAGNOSTICS ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE CAR HAS NUMEROUS CODES COMING UP, AND THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY VEHICLE UNTIL CORRECTED, BECAUSE THE AIR BAG MAY DEPLOY ON ITS OWN OR IT MAY NOT DEPLOY IF MY CAR IS WRECKED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $40,000 TO BUY A NEW ONE. I HAVE EXPLAINED ALL OF THIS TO GMC'S ARBITRATION DEPARTMENT, BUT THEY HAVE SENT ME SEVERAL LETTERS STATING THAT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO BUY MY CAR BACK. MY FAMILY'S LIVES ARE NOT REPLACEABLE, AND I WORRY EVERY TIME I GET IN THE VEHICLE THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN, AND THIS IS HORRIBLE FEELING FOR A MOTHER, WHOSE JOB IS TO PROTECT HER CHILDREN. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SAY THAT I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS, BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALL GONE OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TRY AND FIX THESE PROBLEMS, BUT ALL HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. IT IS NOT THE DEALERSHIPS FAULT, IT IS THE MANUFACTURER OF THE VEHICLE. I TRULY BELIEVE AS MY KIDS HAVE SAID THAT THIS VEHICLE IS TRULY POSSESSED, AND IN MY OPINION NOT FIXABLE. *NM

ON ARRIVAL FROM 80-MILE TRIP, WE PARKED VEHICLE AND TURNED-OFF IGNITION. UPON ALIGHTING FROM VEHICLE, WE DETECTED A BURNING ODOR. INSPECTION REVEALED SMOKE RELEASED THROUGH FRONT GRILLE. RELEASE OF HOOD ALLOWED SMOKE TO BILLOW-OUT. FLAMES EMERGED IMMEDIATELY, SPREADING QUICKLY FROM ENGINE BAY REARWARD, ENGULFING ENTIRE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS DESTROYED, ALONG WITH OTHER VEHICLE PARKED ALONGSIDE. FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO IMMEDIATE CALL FOR HELP AND EXTINGUISHED ALL FIRES WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF CALL. *NM

WHILE DRIVING, THE DRIVER'S POWER SIDE SEAT BEGINS TO MOVE FORWARD. THE DEALER STATES THERE WAS NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON TWELVE OCCASIONS. THE DRIVER'S SEAT MEMORY SWITCH WAS INOPERATIVE, THERE WAS NOISE AT IDLE AND WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED, THE SATELLITE RADIO WOULD LOSE FREQUENCY, THE SEAM ON THE DRIVERS SEAT MATERIAL WAS WEARING AND THE HORN WAS DELAYED. *SC *JB

FAILURE TO START ENGINE. OVER LAST 6 MONTHS, INTERMITTENT NON-STARTING WHEN KEY IS TURNED IN IGNITION. ALL LIGHTS AND INTERNAL EQUIPMENT (RADIO, HEATER) ALL COME ON BUT ENGINE DOES NOT MAKE ANY NOISE. THERE IS NO PATTERN (FULL LOG OF ISSUES AVAILABLE BY OWNER). VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TWO DEALERSHIPS FOR DIAGNOSIS AND PROBLEM CAN NOT BE IDENTIFIED.SOME DAYS THE CAR WILL START AFTER 1 OR 2 TRIES, OTHER DAYS I HAVE WAITED UP TO 20 MINUTES WITH 45 - 50 ATTEMPTS TO START.*AK

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2004 YUKON XL IN DEC. 2003 THE STABILITY TRAC SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED. THE DIGITAL READ OUT JUST BLINKS DISABLED. MY LOCAL DEALERS KEEP TELLING ME THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS. YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD KNOW SOMETHING BY NOW. THE REASON I PURCHASED THE YUKON WITH THE STABILI-TRAC WAS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY TO BUY THE VEHCILE AND NOW FEEL CHEATED DUE TO NOT HAVING WHAT I REALLY PURCAHSED THE YUKON FOR.*AK
