I BOUGHT A USED 2004 GMC YUKON IN MARCH OF 2008, PREVIOUSLY IT HAD BEEN A FLEET VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN COLORADO, AND DROVE IT TO WASHINGTON STATE. SHORTLY AFTER WE ARRIVED, THE TACHOMETER STOPPED WORKING. IT GETS STUCK AT ETHER 25 RPMS, OR 75 RPMS. THE SPEEDOMETER READS ACCURATELY, AND ONLY RECENTLY THE FUEL GAUGE HAS BEEN STICKING. I HAD GOTTEN A NOTICE THAT THESE PARTS HAD BEEN "RECALLED" BUT ONLY FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME, FOR VEHICLES OVER 7,000 MILES ON IT. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD ABOUT 6,500 MILES. WHEN I CALLED A GMC OFFICE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RPMS, FUEL GAUGE, SPEEDOMETER, AND OIL GAUGE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $800 TO CORRECT THE FAILURES. SHE RECEIVED A LETTER THAT STATED THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE REPAIRS UNDER THE "DEFECT CAMPAIGN" DUE TO THE MILEAGE OF HER VEHICLE. REPAIRS WERE ONLY BEING MADE TO VEHICLES WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 110,000. UPDATED 05/05/09 *BF UPDATED 05/07/09.*JB

I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON THAT HAS AN ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER. AT TIMES, IT WILL FREEZE UP. OTHER TIMES IT WILL DISPLAY THE INCORRECT SPEED INCLUDING FREEZING AT 0MPH. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT BY OWNERS OF VEHICLES CONTAINING THESE TYPES OF FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 80,000 MILES ON IT AND IS NOT COVERED BY ANY SORT OF GMC WARRANTY AND/OR REPLACEMENT PLAN. THIS EQUIPMENT POSES A SAFETY THREAT AS I CANNOT DETERMINE THE SPEED OF MY VEHICLE AND MORE ACCURATELY INTERPRET FOLLOWING DISTANCE FROM OTHER VEHICLES. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GIVING FALSE READINGS, SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 10 MPH EVEN WHEN TRAVELING ANYTHING OVER TEN MPH. GAS NEEDLE IS NO LONGER READING ACCURATELY UNDER 1/4 TANK , WHICH HAS CAUSED SOME EMBARRASSING MOMENTS RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD FUEL. I HAVE A FRIEND WHO HAS AN AVALANCHE AND HER INSTRUMENT PANEL IS DOING THE SAME THING, HER SPEEDOMETER AND TACH ARE NOW MALFUNCTIONING. HAS ANYONE MANAGED TO FIND OUT IF WE CAN GET THIS REPLACED VIA RECALL? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE FAILURE, WHICH HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE DROPPED TO LOW FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AND IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WAS ABOUT TO DROP. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOT OF NOISES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND REPAIRED AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FROM THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, THE LATCH PULLED, BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THE LATCH WOULD REMAIN STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION; THEREFORE, THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AS WELL. THE CONTACT MUST ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND PUSH THE HANDLE BACK INTO PLACE IN ORDER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR LATCH. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, ALL FOUR DOORS EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE. WHILE AN OCCUPANT WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, HE LEANED UP AGAINST THE DOOR AND IT OPENED. THE OCCUPANT FELL OUT OF THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THE DOOR WAS COMPLETELY SHUT AT THE TIME. THE DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. THE VIN WAS UNABLE TO BE ENTERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. WHILE REMOVING THE THIRD ROW SEAT FROM THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT A PIECE OF THE PART USED TO PROPERLY LATCH THE SEAT TO THE FLOORBOARD FAILED. WITHOUT THIS PIECE, THE SEAT IS DANGEROUS TO RIDE IN BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT HE MUST PURCHASE THE WHOLE PART RATHER THAN THE PIECE THAT FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I VERY RARELY USE MY REAR GLASS HATCH OF MY 2004 YUKON, BUT RECENTLY WHEN HAVING TO LOAD UP MY YUKON TO EVACUATE HURRICANE GUSTAV. WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE IT, I HEARD A LOAD POP AND NOTICED THAT THE LEFT REAR GLASS HINGE HAD BROKEN UP. WHEN I RETURNED HOME, I CALLED THE GMC DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY HAVE THE REPLACEMENT IN STOCK, BUT SINCE THEY DO NOT DEEM IT A SAFETY ISSUE, THE PART HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I FIND THIS SHOCKING SINCE THEY KNOW THAT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY KEEP THIS ITEM IN STOCK AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CHARGE YOU $900 TO REPLACE IT. *TR
