2004 GMC Yukon

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN LOUISVILLE KENTUCKY IN 2007 AND NOT TO LONG AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE SOME OF THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO ONE OF THEIR SERVICE CENTER WHICH THEY LOOKED AT IT AND STATED THEY COULDN'T FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY HUSBAND EXPLAINED THE GAUGES WOULD SOMETIMES STICK/QUITE WORKING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SOMETIMES WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HE WOULD SOMETIMES HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO TRY TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN. TIME WENT ON AND IT GOT WORSE AND MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE TOLD HIM THE INSTRUMENT PANEL/CLUSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WE PAID FOR A REPLACEMENT AND SHORTLY AFTER THE REPLACEMENT IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING THE OTHER PANEL DID. ALL THE GAUGES STOPPED WORKING AND WE HAVE TO TAP ON IT TO GET IT TO WORK AND NOW IT HAS GOTTEN EVEN WORSE AND I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE BECAUSE WHY SHOULD WE CONTINUE TO SPEND OUR MONEY ON GETTING REPLACEMENTS AND THEY DO THE SAME THING. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THESE PANELS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY STATED THERE WAS A SERVICE WARRANTY ON THE PANEL BUT IT EXPIRED IN 2011. I THEN STATED THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE SERVICE WARRANTY BECAUSE WE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING IN THE MAIL AND THEY STATED THE SERVICE WARRANTY WAS MAILED OUT TO THE PREVIOUS OWNERS OF THE VEHICLE AND WE MUST NOT HAVE REGISTERED OUR VEHICLE CORRECTLY WITH THE DMV (DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE) WHICH I DON'T SEE HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN WE RECEIVE A NOTICE IN THE MAIL EVERY YEAR TO RENEW THE REGISTRATION ON THE VEHICLE WE ARE CURRENT EVERY YEAR SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE DIDN'T RECEIVE THE NOTICE REGARDING THE SERVICE WARRANTY IN THE MAIL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO DISPLAY THE CORRECT GAUGE LEVELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

BACKING UP TO HOOK UP A TRAILER, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE AND IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. REAR BRAKE LINE RUPTURED AFTER ABS MODULE AND RIGHT ABOUT THE FUEL TANK. I CANNOT REPLACE JUST THEY ONE LINE BECAUSE OF CORROSION AND RUST AT THE MODULE. THIS IS THE FAMILY SUV AND IM LUCKY THIS HAPPENED IN MY YARD AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS PREPARING TO LEAVE TOWING A 5500LB TRAILER. ALL THESE OTHER LINES ARE EQUALLY BAD AND I FEAR THEY ARE GOING TO RUPTURE TOO. I'M STUCK WITH A 10 YEAR OLD LESS THAN SAFE VEHICLE. *TR

DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THE VEHICLE POWERED DOWN TAKING THE SPEED FROM 35MPH OR ABOVE TO 5-10 MILES MPH WITH OUT WARNING. THIS CONTINUOUSLY HAPPENED AS YEARS PASSED AND GM CERTIFIED REPAIR SHOP NEVER FOUND WHAT'S WRONG. UNTIL ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, I GOOGLED ISSUE AND FOUND ITS RELATED TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND WIRING FROM PEDAL THAT LEADS TO ENGINE THROTTLE CONTROL, I CHANGED THROTTLE CONTROL PLUG TO NEW AND REPLACED ACCELERATOR PEDAL WITH USED PART AND WORKED FINE FOR TWO YEARS BUT HAS NOW STARTED FAILING AGAIN. I AM AFRAID OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I COULD BE ON FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH AND IF THESE FAIL AS THEY HAVE AND ARE, I THEN SLOW DOWN TO 5-10 MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS. *TR
