2004 GMC Yukon

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR MORE THAN ONE-HALF OF AN HOUR, THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO READ SLOWER THAN I AM DRIVING AND SOMETIMES GOES TO ZERO, WHILE I AM OBVIOUSLY TRAVELING AT 60 TO 70 MPH. IF I GET OFF THE FREEWAY OR SLOW TO A STOP, IT USUALLY READS CORRECTLY FOR A WHILE, THEN GOES BACK TO READING SLOWLY AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS WELL AS MY NOT KNOWING THE TRUE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE, I COULD GET A SPEEDING TICKET. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THIS YET AS IT IS A GM PROBLEM AND THEY SHOULD REPAIR IT. *JB

SPEEDOMETER IN 2004 GMC YUKON WAS ERRATIC AT FIRST INTERMITTENTLY, AND WAS NOW PERMANENTLY WAY OFF THE MARK. PERSONNEL CORRESPONDENCE WITH TWO DEALER SERVICE WRITERS CONFIRMED THAT THIS WAS COMMON IN AT LEAST 2003 AND 2004 YUKON'S. NON WARRANTY CLUSTER REPLACEMENT AT $400.00 WAS FIX.ED. GM SHOULD ISSUE FACTORY RECALL. *AK

STEPPED ON GAS IN MY 2004 GMC YUKON AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SOARED WAY PAST THE ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, THE NEEDLE RESTED AT 120 MPH. AFTER A DAY IT RESET ITSELF AND THEN DID IT AGAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT CORRECTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTERS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT WASN'T CONSIDERED A COVERED PART...BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD! *JB

MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL GMC SERVICE CENTERS TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE SEVERAL ELECTRONIC ISSUES. 1. THE RADIO AND AC UNIT WILL TURN ON FOR NO REASON AND BOTH UNITS ARE EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH. 2. THE FRONT DASH RESONATES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE OR DECLINE WHEN THE AC UNIT IS ON. 3. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD OCCASIONALLY STOP WORKING AFTER RUNNING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES YET THE DEALERSHIP WAS NEVER ABLE TO DUPLICATE. IT HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. *NM

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
