TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED ZERO AND THEN INCREASED TO OVER 100 MPH. THE FUEL AND WATER GAUGES INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EMPTY WHEN THE CONTACT FILLS IT UP. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT ONLY VEHICLES WITH 70,000 MILES OR LESS WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. HE FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 98,000.

SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER BROKEN ON 2003 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. CHEVY HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH FAULTY SPEEDOMETERS. *TR

I HAVE A GMC YUKON AND THE WHEEL BEARINGS IN BOTH SIDES HAVE WENT OUT. I HEARD THAT THE H2 HUMMER HAS A RECALL ON ITS WHEEL BEARING. HOW COME THE YUKON DOESN'T? I HEARD OF OTHER YUKONS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THIS A CHEVY PROBLEM? MY WHEEL ALMOST CAME OFF OF MY VEHICLE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. THE MECHANIC SAID THE ONLY THING THAT WAS KEEPING IT ON WAS THE BRAKE CALIPER. I SURE HOPE NOBODY GETS HURT OVER SAVING A COUPLE OF DOLLARS, PLEASE THERE NEEDS TO BE A WARNING AND POSSIBLY A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. NO CRASH OR INJURIES. THE PART WAS REPLACED. THE OLD PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. THE NEW PART HAS INTERMITTENT FLUCTUATIONS. *TR

MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN ACTING ERRATICALLY, INDICATING 80 MPH WHEN SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, STICKING WHILE ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. SOMETIMES IT INDICATES 20 MPH WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY. I RESEARCHED THIS ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED OVER 1,000 POSTS FROM CHEVROLET AND GMC OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THERE IS AN EFFORT FROM OWNERS TO DEMAND A RECALL. I DIDN'T DISCOVER THIS UNTIL JUST AFTER I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. I CHECKED MY SPEED AS I APPROACHED AN INTERSECTION AND THOUGHT I WAS GOING A SAFE SPEED (I WAS UNDER THE POSTED LIMIT). A CAR PULLED IN FRONT OF ME AND I COLLIDED WITH IT. EVEN THOUGH THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT MY FAULT, THE DAMAGE TO THE OTHER CAR WAS MORE THAN I EXPECTED THAN WOULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED AT MY INDICATED SPEED. I DIDN'T KNOW MY SPEEDOMETER WAS GOING BAD. *TR

2003 GMC DENALI FRONT TRANSFER CASE FAILURE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED A LOUD NOISE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN IT STOPPED, SO I DROVE ON HOME AND THE NEXT MORNING I DROPPED IT OFF AT MY PERSONAL REPAIR SHOP. TO HIS FINDINGS IT WAS THE FRONT TRANSFER CASE. SO HE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO SOMEONE HE KNEW THAT WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD REPAIRED SEVERAL DENALI'S WITH THE SAME OR SIMILAR PROBLEM JUST THIS YEAR. *JB

ALL GAUGES IN DASH ARE NOT WORKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SINCE EARLY 2006. TOOK TO THE DEALER TO FIX, BUT AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. WHEN I WOULD TAKE BACK TO THE DEALER OF COURSE IT WAS WORKING AGAIN AND DIDN'T NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AT THE TIME. NOW HOWEVER, IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY, IE. 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 DAYS. THE OTHER DAY WE LEFT THE HOUSE AND NOTHING WAS WORKING, HOWEVER WHEN WE LEFT TO GO HOME THE GAUGES WERE WORKING AGAIN. THEN 2 DAYS LATER EVERYTHING WAS WORKING JUST FINE, THEN WHEN I WENT TO DRIVE AGAIN NOTHING WAS WORKING, BUT BY THE NEXT MORNING EVERYTHING WAS WORKING JUST FINE, UNTIL TODAY AGAIN. *TR
