• 12/28/2006· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  SPEEDOMETER FAILURE. AFTER 5 MINUTE STOP WITH ENGINE OFF, SPEEDOMETER REGISTERED APPROX 55 WHILE GOING 25. PULLED OVER, STOPPED, SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. SPEEDOMETER STUCK AT 60. KEPT CLIMBING WHILE STOPPED. THEN WHEN DRIVING SPEED ADDED TO HIGHER SET POINT. READ OVER 100 MPH AT STOP 2 MILES LATER. THERE ARE 100'S OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AT HTTP://WWW.TOPIX.NET/FORUM/AUTOS/CHEVROLET-TAHOE/T2BGKBGI55EKNU77C/P11 CLEARLY NOT A NORMAL WEAR PROBLEM ON VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE DIES BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. VERY DIFFICULT TO DETECT WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, YOU ARE TRAINED TO TRUST THE INSTRUMENTS, NOT YOUR INSTINCTS. SOME HAVE INDICATED PROBLEM OF SPEED READING TOO LOW, THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *NM

  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

• 12/14/2006· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  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 AGAINST GM. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO REPORT THIS FOR INVESTIGATION FIRST. *JB

  WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, SPEEDOMETER 'FAILED' TO THE NEEDLE POINTING STRAIGHT DOWN. I DROVE ANOTHER 10 MINUTES HOME, SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE NEVER MOVED. CYCLING ENGINE OFF/ON SEEMED TO CAUSE THE NEEDLE TO 'DECREASE' INDICATED SPEED BY ABOUT 10 MPH WITH EACH CYCLING. AFTER CYCLING THE IGNITION ABOUT 15 TIMES WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY, SPEED AGAIN READ 0. STARTING THE ENGINE AGAIN, THE INDICATOR STILL READ 0, AND WHEN DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK, THE SPEEDOMETER SEEMED TO WORK AGAIN.

• 12/05/2010· TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM

  I RECENTLY HAD MY VEHICLE IN MY SERVICE DEPT. FOR AN ON-GOING PROBLEM OF WHICH HERITAGE GMC COULD NOT REPAIR. FROM A STANDSTILL, WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND NOT MOVE AFTER ABOUT 20 FEET OR SO AND A ?TRACTION ACTIVE? MESSAGE WOULD APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY. THIS WAS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE VEHICLE WOULD END UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH LOSS OF POWER AND CARS BEHIND ME WILL ALMOST RE END MY CAR. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT HAPPENING 6 OR MORE TIME DAILY, WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WOULD DRIVE FROM A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. TO REGAIN POWER, YOU HAD TO LET OFF ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND THE DRIVE WOULD RE-ENGAGE. WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS FOR A WHILE AND ALL THE GM VEHICLES RUN THIS TYPE OF SENSOR COMBO ON ALL THE WHEELS TELLING THE COMPUTER WHEN TO APPLY BRAKES OR POWER TO THE WHEELS, THESE GET DIRTY FROM ROAD SALT IN UPPER STATES AND GM WILL ONLY ADDRESS 2002 CARS, BUT THE 2002-2005 LOOK ALL ALIKE, THIS ALSO APPLIES TO REGULAR CARS, AFTER DOING A SEARCH THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING MY SAME PROBLEM, THIS IS AS SAFETY HAZARD AND IS GOING TO CAUSE A FATALITY....... *TR

  THE SUBJECT VEHICLE HAD RECENTLY BEEN PARKED AFTER TOWING A 29 FOOT LONG TRAVEL TRAILER. IT HAD SAT FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS SINCE WE LAST USED IT. DURING THE 2011 30 OCTOBER SNOW STORM IN PA, I WENT TO PICK IT UP TO USE IT. I STARTED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOOR. ALL OF THE ANTILOCK AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND BACK IT BACK THE DRIVEWAY AND PARK IT. WE LATER CALLED AAA AND HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND LET US KNOW THAT THEY HAD FOUND A BRAKE LINE THAT BURST DUE TO CORROSION. THIS BRAKE LINE IS ALMOST DIRECTLY UNDER THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY AND IS SOMEWHAT HIDDEN FROM VIEW. IT LIES ATOP THE FRAME IN THIS AREA AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALER HAD CORRODED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER THEY HAD TO FABRICATE A REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINE AND WERE ABLE TO REPLACE IT. THEY FURTHER INDICATED THEY LOOKED AT THE OTHER BRAKE LINES AND DID NOT SEE ANY FURTHER INDICATION OF CORROSION. I HAVE DRIVEN THE GMC FOR ABOUT TEN MILES SINCE THE REPAIR AND THE BRAKES APPEAR TO BE BACK TO NORMAL. LET ME ADD THIS, I HAVE OWNED 15 DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN MY LIFE AND NOT ONE HAS HAD TO HAVE A STEEL BRAKE LINE REPLACED. THIS IS THE FIRST. JUST LIKE THE OTHER GM OWNERS, WHEN THESE LINES FAIL THE BRAKING ABILITY TO STOP THIS TWO TON VEHICLE IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT I AM VERY THANKFUL THIS LINE DID NOT FAIL WHILE TOWING THE 29 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER. *KB

GM HAS SPOKE WITH MYSELF AND THE DEALERSHIP. GM HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO, IF THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IS GOES ON AND OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND THERE IS NO PATTERN TO IT. IT DIDN'T COME ON FOR 3 MONTHS AND IS NOW COMING ON AGAIN. I HAVE CONTACTED ON-STAR WHEN IT COMES ON AT TIMES AND THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY. I AM WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL GO OFF WHEN I'M JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS SAFE FOR THEM, MYSELF, OR THE OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I AM HIGHLY DISCOURAGED THAT GM IS NOT BEING MORE ACTIVE IN TRYING TO HELP WITH THIS SITUATION THAT COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH! *NM

I CAN NO LONGER OPEN THE WINDOW FOR FEAR IT WILL COMPLETELY COME AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND I CAN NO LONGER OPEN THE BACK HATCH AT ALL ANY LONGER.

• 11/24/2009· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  MY 2004 GMC YUKON SPEEDOMETER (MANUAL NEEDLE-TYPE) JUST KEEPS INCREASING ITS SPEED READING UNTIL IT "PEGS-OUT" AT THE 130 MPH MARK. IF YOU TURN OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTART THE ENGINE, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL JUMP-BACK ABOUT 5 MPH. SO IF ONE DOES THIS 25 TIMES, IT WILL ZERO ITSELF OUT. AFTER ONLY SHORT AMOUNTS OF DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL AGAIN START INCREASING ITS READY AGAIN. IT APPEARS TO INCREASE THE READING AS ONE INCREASES IN SPEED, BUT DOESN'T DECREASE THE SPEED AS ONE DECREASES THEIR SPEED. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU DO NOT KNOW YOUR ACTUAL SPEED. FORTUNATELY MY GPS HAS SPEED READOUTS, BUT IT IS DELAYED BY ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 21000 MILES ON MY YUKON, SO THE SPEEDOMETER SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKEN OR "WORN-OUT" THIS QUICKLY. *TR
