2004 GMC Yukon complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO, THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO DISPLAY INACCURATE FUEL READINGS. BEGINNING IN NOVEMBER OF 2007, THE SPEEDOMETER BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AND REMAINS AT 120 MPH, EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS NOT ON. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE GREASED BECAUSE IT MAKES A POPPING NOISE EVERY SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER CONCERNING THE FUEL GAUGE OR THE SPEEDOMETER AT THIS TIME. THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE AND SPEEDOMETER, WHICH HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 70,000 MILES. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE, AND PURCHASE DATE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 123,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

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

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON IS STUCK BEYOND 120 MPH. *TR

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

SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. DIAL SHOWS MAX SPEED 120 MPH. WHEN IN PARK SHOWS 70 MPH. *JB

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

BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT IS EXCESSIVE, RESULTING IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES DUE TO INABILITY TO STOP RAPIDLY. HAVE NOTIFIED DEALER(S) SEVERAL TIMES, AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT BRAKES WERE OKAY. I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT BRAKE PADS AND/OR ROTORS WERE TOO SMALL FOR WEIGHT OF THE TRUCK.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AND CAUSED IT TO CRASH INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. BETWEEN THE TWO VEHICLES, FOUR PEOPLE SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES. THIS WAS THE SECOND TIME THE BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WILL NOT BE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 70,000. *AK

SPEEDOMETER SHOWS OVER 120 MPH WHEN PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING, OIL GAUGE DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY EITHER, HAPPENED RIGHT AROUND 40,000 MILES, TWO FRIENDS OF MINE PURCHASED THE 2004 ENVOY AND HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL VEHICLES WERE PURCHASED FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP JUST A FEW MONTHS APART. *AK

2004 GMC YUKON WITH SPEEDOMETER ISSUE - READS 120 MPH WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED. *JB

STEPPED ON GAS IN MY 2004 GMC YUKON AND THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SOARED WAY PAST THE ACTUAL SPEED. WHEN I STOPPED THE CAR, THE NEEDLE RESTED AT 120 MPH. AFTER A DAY IT RESET ITSELF AND THEN DID IT AGAIN. I WENT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT CORRECTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTERS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE ISSUE BECAUSE IT WASN'T CONSIDERED A COVERED PART...BUT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD! *JB

STEPPED ON GAS AND SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE SOARED PAST ACTUAL SPEED LIMIT. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR AT STANDSTILL, IT STILL REGISTERING AT 120 MPH. SPEEDOMETER RESET ITSELF AFTER A DAY BUT PROBLEM HAS RECURRED 4 TIMES AFTER THAT AT VARIOUS POINTS ON THE SPEEDOMETER. *JB

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAS FAILED. IT NOW REGISTERS 120 MPH WHEN IN PARK. *JB

MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAS BEEN TAKEN TO SEVERAL GMC SERVICE CENTERS TO TRY AND DIAGNOSE SEVERAL ELECTRONIC ISSUES. 1. THE RADIO AND AC UNIT WILL TURN ON FOR NO REASON AND BOTH UNITS ARE EXTREMELY HOT TO THE TOUCH. 2. THE FRONT DASH RESONATES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE OR DECLINE WHEN THE AC UNIT IS ON. 3. THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD OCCASIONALLY STOP WORKING AFTER RUNNING THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES YET THE DEALERSHIP WAS NEVER ABLE TO DUPLICATE. IT HAS NOW STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. *NM

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE 2004 AT 45 MPH CONDENSATION BEGAN TO BUILD UP ON THE WINDOW, THE CONTACT TURNED THE DEFROSTER ON, BUT IT DID NOT OPERATE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME, THEN DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC , WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE HEATER CONTROL NOT DIRECTING THE HEAT UP TO THE WINDOW. *AK

THE CONTACTS STATES THAT IT WAS 32 DEGREES TODAY AS SHE LEFT OUT FOR WORK. SHE STATES THAT WHILL DRIVING ALONG SHE ENGAGED HER REAR DEFROST. WHILE DRIVING ALONG DOING 55MPH SHE SAYS THAT WHOLE BACK WINDOW BUSTED OUT.

WHILE LEAVING FOR OUR CHRISTMAS TRIP, I NOTICED THAT IT SEEMED THAT TRAFFIC WAS TRAVELING A LOT FASTER THAN USUAL. WHEN I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, MY SPEEDOMETER WAS STUCK AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 76 MPH!! SINCE THEN, THE SPEEDOMETER CONTINUES TO GET STUCK AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW FAST OR SLOW I AM GOING AT ANY GIVEN TIME. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!! MY GMC YUKON IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS 61000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $600-800 EST TO FIX THE PROBLEM PLUS RENTAL CAR FOR THE DAYS THAT THE WHOLE DASH OF MY CAR WAS SENT OUT TO BE RECONDITIONED. THE SERVICE TECH MENTIONED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SOMETIMES IT TOOK MORE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION. HE ALSO MENTIONED THAT OTHER INSTRUMENTS COULD BE FAILING ON THE DASH. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS REPAIR PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET ON THE ISSUE AND NO OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM BY GM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!! I DRIVE CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE EVERYDAY AND THEIR SAFETY SHOULD NOT BE COMPROMISED IN THIS MANNER. FOR THE AMOUNT OF MONEY I SPENT ON THIS VEHICLE AND THE SHORT LENGTH OF TIME THAT I HAVE HAD IT, THERE SHOULD NOT BE SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY!! *JB

SPEEDOMETER JUMPS ERRATICALLY - FAULTY SPEEDOMETER HEAD AND INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS KNOWN CONDITION SEEN ON MANY GMC AND CHEVY VEHICLES. A RECALL IS WARRANTED. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC YUKON, IN 2005. OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS OR SO, MY SPEEDOMETER HAS BEEN ACTING ERRATICALLY - WHEN IT IS HOT OR HUMID THE SPEEDOMETER STARTS TO JUMP A LITTLE THEN STARTS TO REGISTER A HIGHER SPEED THAN I AM MOVING. FOR EXAMPLE: I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY SPEEDOMETER READ 90 MPH. I NOTICED THAT WHEN I WOULD TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND REPEATEDLY START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER READING WOULD REDUCE BY APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AT A TIME, WHICH MEANS I HAD TO START UP AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE 18 OR MORE TIMES FOR IT TO RETURN TO 0. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL GMC DEALER REPAIR DEPARTMENT WHO KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WAS GOING ON - EVIDENTLY THIS IS QUITE THE COMMON THING WITH THESE TRUCKS AND OTHERS - AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL REPLACED. PRICING AROUND $375 FOR THE PART AND ANOTHER $100 OR SO FOR INSTALLATION. I HAVE INVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM, WITH GM VEHICLES, AND THERE ARE FAR TOO NUMEROUS OUT THERE FOR THIS TO BE A SINGLE INCIDENT. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A DEFECT. IN MY OPINION, GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR WITH A RECALL. I CAN SEE WHERE IT WOULD DEFINITELY CAUSE ALARM AS FAR AS A SAFETY CONCERN. FORTUNATELY I HAVE NOT HAD AN INCIDENT YET, BUT DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER. I JUST WANTED TO NOTE THAT I ALSO SAW ON AN INTERNET WEBSITE FOR LAWYERS THAT THEY ARE GATHERING COMPLAINTS TOGETHER FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINS

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS OR IDLING, THE SPEEDOMETER READING WAS INCORRECT. THE SPEEDOMETER READ ZERO INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, OR IT READ ONE HUNDRED MILES PER HOUR WHILE SITTING STILL. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER, WHO DETERMINED THE ELECTRONICS OF THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK UPDATED 12/15/2006 - *NM

SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED WORKING. EVERYTHING WAS GOING ALONG FINE, THEN, IT JUST WENT TO PAST 120 AND STAYED THERE. IT'S NOW STUCK. *JB

I HAVE A 2004 GMC YUKON. THE SPEEDOMETER IS MALFUNCTIONING ,IT DISPLAYS INCORRECT ERRATIC SPEEDS, MAXING OUT AT 40 MPH NO MATTER HOW FAST I AM DRIVING. RECENTLY ON A LOCAL FREEWAY I ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT WHEN THE TRAFFIC SLOWED AHEAD AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING 30 MPH BUT MY ACTUAL SPEED WAS ABOUT 65. IT NEARLY KILLED ME. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC BUT HAVE NOT HAD ANSWER TO THIS PROBLEM.

SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON BECAME VERY ERRATIC, DISPLAYING SPEEDS THAT WERE OBVIOUSLY WAY TOO SLOW OR WAY TO FAST 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

MY 2004 GMC YUKON STARTED HAVING SPEEDOMETER TROUBLES A FEW MONTHS AGO. SOMETIMES IT WOULD WORK JUST FINE, BUT SOMETIMES IT WOULD READ 120 MPH WHEN I WAS PARKED, OR SOMETIMES IT WOULD READ 0 MPH WHEN I WAS GOING ABOUT 65 ON THE HIGHWAY. SOME DAYS IT WOULD WORK JUST FINE, OTHER DAYS, IT WAS VERY OFF. IT GOT TO WHERE I COULD NOT RELY ON MY SPEEDOMETER TO TELL HOW FAST I WAS GOING. I HAD TO USE A GPS TO GET MY SPEED. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE GETTING AN OIL CHANGE, IT WAS NOTICED THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. THE DEALER DETERMINED THE REAR ROTORS AND PADS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. UPDATED 12/1/2006 - THE REAR BRAKE WERE WORN, PITTED, AND RUSTED. *NM

ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO (3000 MILES) MY SPEEDOMETER BEGAN TO PERIODICALLY MALFUNCTION. IT WOULD BEGIN TO SHOW ACCELERATION IN EXCESS OF 120 MPH EVEN THOUGH I WOULD BE TRAVELING AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 45 MPH. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF IT WOULD SEEM TO WORK NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM QUICKLY DEVELOPED INTO A FULL-TIME PROBLEM. NOW WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN PART IT MAY REGISTER FROM 70 TO 90 MPH. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE GMC DEALER FOR A QUOTE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD FIXED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON A NUMBER OF YUKONS AND THAT I NEEDED A NEW INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. THE ODOMETER CONTINUED TO REPRESENT CORRECT MILEAGE, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT REGISTER THE SPEED. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER DID NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLE HE SUGGESTED THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER COULD NOT PERFORM THE REPAIR BECAUSE OF A LACK OF PARTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, AND THEY EXPLAINED THE PARTS WERE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER. *AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT IS NOT RECORDING THE ACTUAL SPEED THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED.*AK

RECALL. *NM

DT: THE VEHICLE HAS POWER STEERING BUT STEERING TO THE LEFT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH RIGHT SIDE STEERING. THE DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED ,AND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS UNLESS THE CONSUMER WOULD PAY FOR IT. THE CONSUMER OWNS AN AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS AND DETERMINED IT WAS THE STEERING GEAR BOX. HE PURCHASED A NEW STEERING GEAR BOX AND REPLACED THE OLD ONE. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT 47,000 MILES. THERE HAVE BEEN NO PROBLEMS SINCE THE REPAIR. *AK

ONE SIDE OF ENGINE BLOCK IS BURNING OUT ALL 4 SPARK PLUGS; NEED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION SENT TO OUR MECHANIC SO HE CAN FIX THIS PROBLEM. NO RESPONSE. ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. TOTAL MILEAGE ON 2004 YUKON LL PURCHASED FROM DAVE SMITH AUTO, KELLOG IDAHO IN NOV OF 2004 IS 1,292. YES, THIS IS CORRECT. ONE THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO MILES! I WOULD THINK GMC OR DAVE SMITH WOULD BE INTERESTED IN FIXING THIS PROBLEM ESPECIALLY WITH A NEW VEHICLE. WAITING FOR THEM TO REPLY TO WARRANTY WORK. WE ARE A REMOTE SITE WOMEN'S SHELTER. WE NEED A VEHICLE THAT RUNS! *JB

DT: CONTACT STATES WHILE RIDING AS A PASSENGER IN FRONT OR BACK WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED THE SEAT BELT WILL LOCK AND WILL NOT RELEASE. UNTIL THE SEAT BELT IS RELEASED THE OCCUPANT MOVES TRYING TO RELEASE THE TENSION. THIS CAUSES THE TENSION TO KEEP GETTING TIGHTER. THE ONLY WAY TO RELEASE THE TENSION IN THE SEATBELT IS TO UNLATCH THE SEAT BELT. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THE SEAT BELTS WERE WORKING PROPERLY. IT CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALER, THEY STATED THIS WAS A DESIGN FAILURE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DO ABOUT IT. THE CONSUMER HAS NOT CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

"STABILITY SYSTEM DISABLED" WAS DISPLAYED PRIOR TO THE BRAKES BEING ENGAGED WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A 'YAW SENSOR' REPLACED. THE PROBLEM RETURNED WITHIN 20 MILES. A SECOND SENSOR WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH REPROGRAMMING. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. DEALER STATES "GM HAS TOLD US TO DO NOTHING MORE". NO FURTHER EXPLANATION IS OFFERED BY THE DEALER OR GM "CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE". I BELIEVE THAT A VEHICLE THAT ACTIVATES BRAKES ON DRY PAVEMENT WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S FOOT ON THE PEDAL IS DANGEROUS.

9-28-04: MY 2004 GMC YUKON HAD 22643 MILES ON IT. I WENT TO GET IN THE CAR THAT MORNING TO START IT UP AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP HAD WENT OUT. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL PUMPS ON THESE VEHICLES WERE FAULTY. THEY REPLACED MY FUEL PUMP. 5-24-05: MY YUKON HAD 50012 MILES ON IT. I GOT IN THE VEHICLE THAT MORNING TO START IT AND IT WOULD NOT START. ONCE AGAIN IT HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT COST US APPROXIMATELY $900.00 TO REPAIR. THEY INFORMED US THAT THE NEWEST FUEL PUMP HAD A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN WE WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. WHEN MY HUSBAND ASKED WHY THE 2ND FUEL PUMP THEY PUT ON DID NOT HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY, WE WERE TOLD THAT GM DOESN'T WARRANTY ANY WARRANTY PARTS. BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS STRANDED WITH MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN. EACH TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMPS BUT THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHY MY FUEL PUMPS SEEM TO QUIT APPROXIMATELY EVERY 25000 MILES. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND THEY CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS EITHER. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET THEM TO REPURCHASE MY VEHICLE.

2004 GMC YUKON SLT -- INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN TRUCK WAS STARTED. ALL GAUGES (FUEL, BATTERY & WATER) BECAME INACTIVE. SHIFT INDICATOR NO LONGER WORKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT GEAR THE CAR WAS IN. AUDIO SYSTEM (CASSETTE, CD PLAYER AND RADIO) BECAME INOPERABLE. CAR TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP -- BECK & MASTEN NORTH IN HOUSTON. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. PREVIOUS ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER GOING OUT, CAUSING SPEEDOMETER TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. DEALER ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM ON A NUMBER OF YUKONS. (I HAVEN'T SEEN THIS A A RECALL ON EITHER YOUR SITE OR GMC'S SITE.) GMC HAS VIOLATED FMVSS STANDARD NO. 101 AND PARTS 573 AND 577.

DT: WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND STALLED. AND DRIVER HAS NO POWER AND DRIVER HAS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. CALLER HAD FUEL PUMP REPLACED AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, AND STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM. CALLER HAS HAD THREE VEHICLES IN THE PASSED 4 OR 5 YEARS TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. CALLER?S FAMILY MEMBERS AND FRIENDS ALSO HAVE PROBLEM.*AK

THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS A HORRIBLE BUBBLING OR GARGLING SOUND EMMITING FROM MY 2004 YUKON EXHAUST. IT SOUNDS REALLY BAD, ENOUGH TO TURN PEOPLES HEADS WHILE I'M SITTING AT THE CONVENEIENCE STORE OR A DRIVE THRU. THE DEALER IN WHICH I BOUGHT IT FROM STATES THAT THEY ALL MAKE THIS SOUND, BUT I'M NOT STUPID. I KNOW OTHERS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND YEAR MODEL AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I JUST WANT IT FIXED. IF I'M WILLING TO PAY $44,000 FOR A VEHICLE I EXPECT IT TO LOOK AND SOUND GREAT OR AT LEAST LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A NEW ONE. PLEASE HELP! *AK

WHILE RESTRAINED THE CHILD WAS ABLE TO REACH THE STANDARD SAFETY BELT AND WRAP IT AROUND HIS/HER NECK TWICE. THE RETRACTOR LOCKED THE BELT STRANGLING THE CHILD. THE CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO REMOVE CHILD FROM THE BELT BEFORE BEING STRANGLED TO DEATH. *AK *JB *NM

WHILE PARKED THE REAR GLASS WINDOW EXPLODED. *AK

WHILE THE VEHICLE PARKED THE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB......THIS YUKON WAS A RENTAL FROM ENTERPRISE IN COLLIERVILLE, TN. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE DRIVER TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *LA THE CONSUMER WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A DUMP TRUCK AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE SHUTING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. *TC

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST ACCELERATION. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER BY COASTING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THEN VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER TRIED TO RESTART VEHICLE BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO. THEN, NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER WHEEL SMOKE WAS COMING FROM IT. CONSUMER HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE EMERGENCY PARKING BRAKE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

AFTER ENGINE IS WARMED UP, USUALLY AFTER DRIVING JUST A FEW MILES, THERE IS A LOUD BANGING NOISE THAT APPEARS TO BE COMING FROM THE MUFFLER. IT HAPPENS APPROX EVERY 8-12 SECONDS WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING OR OFF. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THEY DIDN'T HEAR IT, ALTHOUGH THE SALES MANAGER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE HEARD IT. THEY SAID TO BRING IT BACK LATER AND THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT BUT GMC HAS NOT RELEASED THE PARTS SO THEY CAN'T FIX IT EVEN IF THEY DID HEAR IT. WHEN I AM SITTING NEXT TO ANOTHER VEHICLE, FOR EXAMPLE AT A LIGHT, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS HITTING THEIR VEHICLE AND IS COMING FROM MINE. WITH ROAD RAGE BEING WHAT IT IS THESE DAYS I AM AFRAID THAT SOMEONE WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THAT GMC HAS "NOT RELEASED THE PARTS" TO FIX IT.*AK
