2004 GMC Yukon Denali

THIS IS THE 2ND GM ALL TERRAIN VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER QUITS WORKING AFTER 50000 MILES . WHEN I RESEARCH ON MINE THERE ARE A BUNCH OF OWNERS THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING. AND IT'S THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED

FIRST THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE 2008. MY SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED THE WRONG SPEED. MY SETTINGS FOR THE SEAT AND MIRRORS QUIT WORKING OVER TIME.HOT AIR WOULD COME OUT OF MY VENTS WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS ON RANDOMLY. RADIO, NAVIGATION, HEAT, AIR CONDITIONER AND MIRRORS WOULD TURN ON/OFF RANDOMLY WITHOUT TOUCHING CONTROLS. THE LAST 3 YEARS WENT THROUGH 3 BATTERIES IN 3 YEARS. TESTS SHOWED AT LEAST 5 THINGS ARE ACTIVELY DRAINING BATTERY IN THE FUSE BOX. ISSUES HAPPENED MOSTLY WHEN CAR WAS ON BUT MIRRORS WOULD RANDOMLY MOVE WHEN CAR WAS NOT ON, VERY CREEPY.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON AND I'VE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC BUT IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON AGAIN. THE GAS GAUGE DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK TO FULL THE ARROW ONLY GOES TO THE HALFWAY MARK.

I COULD BE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AND THE RIGHT OF COME ON AND STABILITY TRACTION DISABLED COME HOME AND CUT MY POWER THEY ARE TO 10 MILES AN HOUR WHILE I'M DRIVING

FRONT SEAT HEATER FOR DRIVER COMES ON WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED ON WITHOUT BEING SELECTED.

WHEN PRESSING MORE THAN ONE DRIVERS WINDOW CONTROL, THE DRIVER'S SEAT OCCASIONALLY MOVES TO THE FULL FORWARD POSITION FORCING THE DRIVER UP AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL (STEER) THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM KNOWING HOW FAST THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE WARRANTY ON THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER REPLACEMENT ENDED IN 2010. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE SLAMMED TO A STOP AS IF SOMEONE STRUCK THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 116,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS, ON THE 2004 GMC DENALIS. IT'S LIKE IT STARTS SLOW YOUR GAUGES GO OUT. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING! THEN THE OIL, TEMP FOR ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION. WHICH I HAD TO REPLACE. THEN THE BRAKES GET A MIND OF THEIR OWN. RECENTLY THE RADIO & LIGHTS ARE ACTING UP WHICH IS SCARY, I HAVE A 7 YR. OLD. THE HEAT IN THE BACK DOESN'T WORK FOR HER, SO I HAVE SEVERAL BLANKETS FOR HER. THE TELEVISION QUIT LONG AGO, IT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE BOUGHT THE CAR, SO KIDS COULD WATCH TELEVISION ON LONG TRIPS, OR WHENEVER. WE PAID A LOT FOR THIS VEHICLE, I WOULD THINK GMC WOULD STEP UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING AND CORRECT THE PRODUCT THEY STAND BY,AND ARE VERY PROUD OF. I WOULD LOVE TO JUST PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE. I DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY, I LOST MY JOB, WE ARE PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK WITH MY HUSBANDS INCOME. I CAN'T FIX OR REPLACE THIS CAR, THAT I ABSOLUTELY LOVED BEFORE ALL THE MALFUNCTIONS/DEFECTS. I HAVE A GARMIN SO I CAN TELL MY SPEED, AND HAVE TO HIT THE SIDE INSIDE THE CAR WHEN THE LIGHTS WON'T WORK. I PRAY, YOU WILL LOOK INTO THIS MATTER BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT, AS SO MANY HAVE REPORTED THE SAME COMPLAINTS. ONE GENTLEMEN GAVE YOU A WEBSITE I'VE SEEN MYSELF OF PEOPLES COMPLAINTS. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, AND ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP US!! *TR

DRIVING VEHICLE AT 30 MPH. LOST ALL POWER AND ENGINE. NO BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING, NO DASH LIGHTS, ENGINE QUIT RUNNING, NO EXTERIOR LIGHTS. PARKED VEHICLE IN PARKING LOT. NO POWER AT ALL. AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF WAITING VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN AND HAD MINIMAL ACCELERATION/POWER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE LOST POWER SLID ON BRAKES, AIR BAG LIGHT AND STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, A LOUD NOISE EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARE TIRE THAT WAS LOCATED UNDER THE VEHICLE DETACHED AND FELL TO THE GROUND. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE ASSEMBLY THAT SECURES THE SPARE TIRE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

AS I SLOWED EXITING A FREEWAY ABOUT 35 MPH, I HEARD A SCREECH & A BIT OF LOSS OF POWER. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT INTO REVERSE FOR PARKING (LATER) IT WAS APPARENT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION. AS I INVESTIGATED ON LINE IT WAS AN ONGOING TRANSMISSION PROBLEM DUE TO "LESS THAN ROBUST PARTS" INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION. GM DEALER-SERVICE REP. JOHN AT ZUBOR AGREED WITH THIS AND TOLD ME TO CONTACT GM SINCE IT WAS, JUST OVER THE 100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT TOOK GM TWO WEEKS OR MORE TO REPLY & RETURN MY CALLS & EMAILS, WHEN OF COURSE I WAS TOLD A GM DEALER MUST DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM--VEHICLE WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AT THAT POINT BY MY OWN MECHANIC. I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER FORM OF TRANSPORTATION & SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY I HAD NO PROMISE OF GM ASSISTANCE, I TOOK IT WHERE I COULD! I PAID $1850.00 FOR A NEW TRANS WITH WARRANTY. I WOULD NOT BE WRITING EXCEPT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM & THE GM TECH ON LINE SAID THERE WAS "NOTHING YOU COULD DO TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING SINCE THE INTERIOR PARTS ARE WEAK". GM TECH COMMENTED GM HAD BEGAN USING MORE "ROBUST PARTS FOR REPLACEMENT, BUT DUE TO HIGH LABOR COSTS (INTERIOR PARTS) HE SUGGESTED TO REPLACE TRANS SO YOU WOULD HAVE A WARRANTY". THIS IS ALSO WHAT OUR MECHANIC ADVISED. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 1:54 PM I WAS LEAVING WORK AND I DIDN'T GET ABOUT 1,000 FEET WHEN I BEGAN TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE CENTER CONSOLE AREA WHERE THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS. I PULLED OVER INTO A GAS STATION AND TOOK THE CUP HOLDERS OUT TRYING TO SEARCH WHERE THE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM. I THEN SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS ON THE DASHBOARD. I ALSO SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND MORE SMOKE WITH COMING FROM THE VENT. I OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND SAW THAT BEHIND THE CENTER CONSOLE JUST UNDER THE CD PLAY, THE WIRES WERE ON FIRE AND THE FIRE CONTINUED TO BECOME LARGER. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AT 1:56 PM AND AGAIN AT 1:59 PM WHEN THEY ARRIVED AND THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WAS BURNING. THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY MELTED ALONG WITH THE CONTROLS ABOVE BY THE SUNROOF. THE VEHICLE IS A COMPLETE LOSS. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED AT MY JOB FOR MORE THAN 6 HOURS BEFORE I TOOK IT TO GO HOME. I SUSTAINED SMOKE INHALATION AND HEAT BURNS ON MY FACE. I WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE LOCAL HOSPITAL, TREATED AND RELEASE. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON DENALI AND AS I SEE FROM THE MANY COMPLAINTS BEFORE ME MY CLUSTER HAS WENT OUT. I HAVE NO USE OF MY DASHBOARD AT ALL. NO USE OF GAS GAUGE. NO USE OF SPEEDOMETER. NO USE OF OIL GAUGE. NO USE OF ANYTHING ON DASH. WHY AFTER ALL THE COMPLAINTS HAS GMC NOT DONE ANYTHING. IF THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON NOW WITH IGNITION SWITCH THEY WILL PAY SO MUCH MORE WITH LAWSUITS. I WILL BE THE FIRST IN LINE, CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE RAN OFF THE ROAD FOR LACK OF GAS

DRIVING 45 MPH HIT BRAKES AND COULD NOT STOP. BRAKE FAILURE LIGHT APPEARED ON DASHBOARD. KEPT PUMPING BRAKES AND PUT INTO FIRST GEAR TO SLOW DOWN. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STOP AND NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF MY CAR..INSPECTED CAR AND REAR BRAKE LINE HOSE WAS BLOWN AND LEAKING HYD FLUID. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 YUKON DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED HEAD TRAUMA, KNEE AND ANKLE WAS FRACTURED. THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A RIPPED EYE LID, AND THE REAR SIDE PASSENGER SUSTAINED 4 FRACTURED TEETH AND DAMAGED HER INTESTINE. A FATALITY WAS REPORTED ON THE OTHER VEHICLE INVOLVED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I STARTED MY CAR AND WHILE I WAS IN PARK THE SPEEDOMETER SAID 70MPH. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT WOULD REGISTER OVER 120MPH. I HAD NO IDEA WHAT SPEED I WAS TRULY GOING. THIS IS A SCARY FEELING ESPECIALLY WITH MY THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I TRIED TURNING OFF THE CAR PUTTING IT IN DRIVE AND BACK TO PARK THINKING PERHAPS IT WAS STUCK, BUT NOTHING WORKS. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM...HELP?? *TR

WHEN WE TURN LEFT, THE VEHICLE TURNS OFF ,LOSES POWER STEERING, BRAKES, GAUGES LIGHT UP, THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN TURNING LEFT BETWEEN 3-5 MILES HOUR, THE GARAGE SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AND THE STABILITY CONTROL IS ON TO. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT BOTH REAR DOORS FAILED TO CLOSE PROPERLY AND ERRONEOUSLY OPENED WHILE THE CONTACT WAS TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE LATCHES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE.
