2004 GMC YUKON Complaints

SPEEDOMETER STICKS AT VARIOUS READINGS WHILE DRIVING. THIS WAS FIRST NOTICED ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. *TR

I PURCHASED 10/2/2004 A 2004 GMC YUKON WHICH HAD ABOUT 1500 MILES LEFT BEFORE THE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE MILEAGE ON THE SPEEDOMETER READ 31144. SINCE I PAID FOR THE VEHICLE CASH I DID NOT PURCHASE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. SOMETIME AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED AND THE SAFETY BELT RECALL IN 8/2005 MY SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY AND MY GAS GAUGE BEGAN TO STICK. WHEN I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY CLUSTER AND THE PRICE IT COST I'VE MANAGED TO MAKE DUE AND NOT INCURRING ANY MORE SPEEDING TICKETS AND RUNNING OUT OF GAS. NOW THAT GM HAS TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT WHERE I AM ABLE TO GET THIS FIXED AT NO CHARGE TO ME, GM IS STATING THAT I HAVE EXCEEDED THE 7 YEAR OR 70,000 MILE LIMITATION. I CURRENTLY HAVE 92,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK, HOWEVER, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 31144 THAT WAS THERE WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. I FEEL THAT THE GAUGES ON A VEHICLE ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SAFETY OF THAT VEHICLE AND OTHER DRIVERS. NOW THAT GM HAS TAKEN THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FAULTY EQUIPMENT, THERE DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THEIR VEHICLES THAT ARE NOTED TO HAVE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO DALLAS WITH MY FAMILY ON SAT. OCT 20, 2007 IN MY 2004 GMC YUKON (49600 MILES). WHILE MERGING ONTO INTO TRAFFIC, I NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING I WAS SPEEDING IN EXCESS OF 90 MPH, BUT IN FACT, I WAS BARELY KEEPING UP WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I PULLED OFF THE FREE WAY AND CAME TO A DEAD STOP AT A GAS STATION, AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE REFLECTED AT 30 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. I TURNED THE KEY ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES, AND EACH TIME THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DROPPED BY 5 TO 10 MPH, EVENTUALLY RESETTING TO 0. I CONTINUED ON TO MY DESTINATION, AGAIN, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING THE SAME WAY INCREASING AND DECREASING IN JERKY MOVEMENT, BUT NEVER COMPLETELY GOING TO ZERO. I NEVER RESET THE SPEEDOMETER AGAIN TO ZERO, AND NOW THE SPEEDOMETER SHOWS 120 MPH AT A DEAD STOP. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW FAST I AM ACTUALLY TRAVELING IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS STATING PROBLEMS EXACTLY LIKE, OR SIMILAR TO MINE REGARDING THE SPEEDOMETERS ON SIMILAR YEAR/MODEL GM TRUCKS. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGES USED IN GM'S LATE MODEL TRUCKS. *JB

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON BECAME VERY ERRATIC, DISPLAYING SPEEDS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY WAY TOO SLOW THAN WHAT THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I CANNOT TELL HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. GM SHOULD CONDUCT A RECALL AS THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

2004 GMC YUKON. SPEEDOMETER READS WRONG SPEED AT ALL TIMES. STARTED ON HIGHWAY ONE DAY AND HASN'T BEEN FIXED SINCE. SOMETIMES READS 0 MPH WHILE ON HIGHWAY AND PAST 120 MPH WHILE SITTING STILL. *TR

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

THE SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED, LEAVING THE NEEDLE STUCK AT OVER 120 MPH. I NOW HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW FAST I AM TRAVELING, PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK. *AK

SPEEDOMETER MALFUNCTIONED. I NOTE FROM DOING A WEB SEARCH THAT THERE WERE MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.*AK

2004 YUKON CUSTOMER STATES THAT IN DEC BEGAN EXPERIENCING A RATTLE THAT BECAME LOUDER OVER A PERIOD OF A COUPLE WEEKS**CC THE DEALER STATED THAT THE RATTLING WAS DUE TO THE CAR BEING IN NEED OF LUBRICATED BODY MOUNT CUSHIONS. THE CONSUMER STATES, NOW IT IS JAN 2007 AND PROBLEM IS RECURRING. THE CONSUMER STATES THE WEBSITE WWW.TOPIX.NET HAS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS DEALING WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. GMC HAS EVEN CREATED A LUBRICATION KIT FOR THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN, BUT THE LUBRICANT ONLY SILENCES THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. *TR
