2003 GMC YUKON XL Complaints

SPEEDOMETER STICK AND JAMS. READS INCORRECT SPEEDS,OFF MY AS MUCH AS 100 MPH!. THIS I HAVE FOUND TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GMC'S, AND THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. *NM

THE SPEEDOMETER INCORRECTLY READS THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 20 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER REGISTERS 70MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL THE SPEEDOMETER IS ON 35MPH. GM DEALER THINKS THE PROBLEM IS THE GAUGE CLUSTER AND RECOMMENDS IT TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $400. THIS GAUGE CLUSTER HAS BEEN REPLACED IN THE PAST UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO INCORRECT FUEL LEVELS. *NM

MY SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2003 GMC YUKON KEEPS STICKING. READS 100 WHEN I'M ONLY DOING 30. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE SPEEDOMETER GAUGE STOPPED FUNCTIONING WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO DETERMINED THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED.

2003 YUKON XL SPEEDOMETER STARTING AT 70 MPH STANDING STILL. SAFETY ISSUE, CANNOT DETERMINE HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. *JB

I HAVE A REPEATING FAILURE OF THE SPEEDOMETER IN MY 2003 GMC YUKON WITH 53K MILES. WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 60-70 MPH FASTER THAN ACTUALLY TRAVELING. WHILE PARKED THE GAUGE WILL STICK AT A RANDOM SPEED ABOVE 0. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO PROPERLY KNOW MY SPEED WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE READ THIS PROBLEM IS PREVALENT WITH GMC/CHEVY TRUCKS AND FEEL THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR MY SPEEDOMETER. *NM

ON MY 2003 YUKON XL, THE SPEEDOMETER EXHIBITING STRANGE BEHAVIOR SUCH AS INDICATING 120 MPH AT A STOP SIGN ETC. LOWEST SPEED IS 90 MPH WHEN CAR IS IN PARK. *JB

SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATIC, NOT READING CORRECTLY, OR AT ALL, ON MY 2003 GMC YUKON XL DENALI. READS SLOWER THAN ACTUALLY TRAVELING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT SITS AT ZERO. *JB

SPEEDOMETER ACTING ERRATICALLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED, THE SPEEDOMETER READS ANYWHERE FROM 30 - 80 MPH. THEN WHEN DRIVING THE SPEEDOMETER GOES PAST 120 MPH WHILE DRIVING 30 - 50 MPH. BASICALLY, DOES NOTHING BUT CONFUSES THE DRIVER AND I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT IT IS NOT TRACKING THE MILEAGE ON THE ODOMETER AS IF YOU WERE TRAVELING AT THE 120 MPH RATE.*JB

ARRIVED HOME ONE EVENING AND NOTICED MY SPEEDOMETER WAS READING 43 MPH WHILE SITTING STILL IN THE DRIVEWAY. AT FIRST IT WAS ACCURATE BY SUBTRACTING THE ERROR TO CALCULATE THE SPEED BUT HAS SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME ERRATIC IN IT'S INACCURACY TO THE POINT OF TOTAL UNRELIABILITY. I FEAR THE CONSEQUENCES RELATING TO NOT BEING ABLE TO DETERMINE THE SPEED, SUCH AS TRAFFIC TICKETS AND SUCH. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS I TRAVEL THROUGH NUMEROUS SCHOOL ZONES IN MY DAILY TRAVELS. IT REMAINS UNREPAIRED AND WILL BE SO SINCE I DON'T HAVE $500 LAYING AROUND TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER. UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THERE ARE MANY, MANY OTHERS WHO HAVE THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM, WHICH TELLS ME THERE IS A DEFECTIVE DESIGN, AND AS SUCH I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES BY GENERAL MOTORS CORP. *NM
