TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED INDEPENDENT DECELERATION AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP, SPARK PLUGS, TRANSMISSION, AND ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100,000.

SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ARE INACCURATELY READING. SPEEDOMETER RANGES FROM 25 - 70 MPH OVERSTATED. FUEL GAUGE REMAINS WELL IN EXCESS OF FULL UNTIL ABOUT 7 GALLONS ARE LEFT IN TANK. OIL PRESSURE IS REGISTERING WELL TO THE RIGHT OF THE HIGHEST READING. PROBLEM BEGAN DURING COLD TEMPERATURE (AROUND 10 DEGREES) AND IMPROVES WITH TEMPERATURE INCREASES BUT HAS NOT RESOLVED ITSELF. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS GM SPECIAL POLICY ADJUSTMENT 07187A. THE VIN IS WITHIN THE CATEGORY LISTED BY THE POLICY; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE IS OLDER THAN 10 YEARS BUT FITS WITHIN THE MILEAGE RESTRICTIONS SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 64,500 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN DEFECT WHICH CLEARLY IMPACTS SAFETY. THE FOLLOWING LINK DESCRIBES THE KNOWN ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.GMSPEEDOMETERRECALL.COM/GMC-SPEEDOMETER-SETTLEMENT LOCATION OF VEHICLE IS KANSAS CITY, KS SINCE I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF RELOCATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC YUKON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED TO ILLUMINATE AND NONE OF THE GAUGES FUNCTIONED. IN ADDITION, THE DIGITAL DISPLAY WAS NOT FUNCTIONING DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

Mileage: 70,000

SPEEDOMETER RANDOMLY STICKS, OR ACCELERATES TO MAXIMUM. OIL PRESSURE GAUGES MAX OUT AS WELL. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH NO CONCEPT OF SPEED, AND ALSO VERY ILLEGAL. WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE, I CAN TURN OFF THE ENGINE. IF I CONTINUE TO TURN THE KEY 90% (BUT NOT ENOUGH TO START THE ENGINE), AND LET OFF, THE GAUGES WILL DROP UP TO 5%. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF RESETTING THE INSTRUMENTS, THE GAUGES WILL RESET. HOWEVER, THE NEXT TIME I DRIVE I MIGHT BE GOING THROUGH A SCHOOL ZONE AT 40 INSTEAD OF 25, BUT MY SPEEDOMETER SAYS 80. CLEARLY UNSAFE.

Mileage: 168,500

I HAVE HEARD OF SEVERAL ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF REDUCED ENGINE POWER. IT SLOWS THE VEHICLE DOWN AND PEOPLE BEHIND THEM REARENDED THEM BECAUSE IT IS A SUDDEN DROP IN SPEED AND THERE IS NO TIME TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES PLEASE GET THIS FIXED BEFORE A CHILD IS INJURED OR KILLED THANK YOU. *TR

HELLO, WHEN IM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT ALSO HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR 3 OR 4 MIN AND RESTART IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN ABOUT 2 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. GMC SAYS THEY KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL SHOPS AND THEY SAY THAT GM SAYS THE SAME THING ( WE KNOW ABOUT THE ISSUE BUT DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT). THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THESE VEHICLES DO TO THIS HAPPENING AND COULD CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THERE ARE ALOT OF OTHER PPL HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THANKS *TR

I OWN A 2003 GMC YUKON, LAST YEAR THE INSTRUMENT DASH CLUSTER STARTED TO FAIL ALONG WITH A CONTINUOUS LOUD DINGING FROM THE WARNING BELL AND THE AIR CONDITIONING WOULD STOP WORKING ALONG WITH THE WINDOWS POWERING OFF, SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC DESCRIBING THIS EXACT DEFECT, RECENTLY I CONTACTED GMC REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND WAS GREETED BY A CALL CENTER IN THE PHILIPPINES, THE MAN TOLD ME TO TAKE THE CAR TO A GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE, AFTER I GOT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND STARTED DIAGNOSTICS I CALLED BACK TO LET THEM KNOW AND THEY THEN INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE. I WAS OUTRAGED THAT THEY HAD ACTUALLY PULLED A BAIT AND SWITCH ON A REPAIR???, AFTER BEING LEFT ON HOLD FOR OVER AN HOUR WHILE THE "CUSTOMER SERVICE REP" TRIED TO FIND A SUPERVISOR SO THEY COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO, HE FINALLY GOT BACK ON THE PHONE AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP HOLDING, I THEN DEMANDED TO SPEAK TO A GMC REPRESENTATIVE IN THE STATES, WHILE ON HOLD FOR ANOTHER HALF HOUR HE RETURNED AND SAID I WOULD BE CONTACTED IN 24 HOURS BY A USA REP. AFTER THREE HOURS WAITING FOR MY CAR IT WAS FINALLY RELEASED TO ME FREE OF CHARGE, ( FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS) BUT STILL NOT FIXED. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM AN AMERICAN GMC REP, A FEW DAYS LATER AND WHILE THEY DANCED AROUND THE ISSUE AND WHO SHOULD FIX IT, THEY KEPT CALLING ME BACK TO SEE IF I FOUND A DEALERSHIP TO GET THE ISSUE DIAGNOSED, I TRIED TWO DEALERSHIPS AND BOTH INDICATED THEY DID NOT WANT TO HELP, I AM NOW STUCK WITH WHAT IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT ON MY $30,000 DOLLAR FAMILY CAR! I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR IT'S SAFETY AND COMFORT AND NOW I'M AFRAID FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN IT, CAN'T TRADE IT IN, CAN'T SELL IT AND NO ONE WILL FIX THIS RE-CALL ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC YUKON. AFTER HAVING A DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BURN OUT, I REMOVED THE LENS AND FOUND SIGNIFICANT CHARRING OF THE LIGHT BULB SOCKET. IT WAS BURNT SO BAD THAT IT MOSTLY CRUMBLED AS I TRIED TO REMOVE THE OLD BULB. I TOOK OFF THE OTHER SIDE TO CHECK IT, AND THE CONDITION OF THE SOCKET WAS THE SAME. THUS, BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SOCKETS WERE BURNT. THE EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM THE BULB ALSO DISTORTED AND RUINED BOTH OF MY LENSES ON THE VEHICLE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REPORTED THAT THESE CARS HAVE LOTS OF PROBLEMS WITH HEAT ON THESE LIGHT SOCKETS. I'M SHOCKED BY THIS, AND WONDER HOW MANY CAR FIRES HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SPEEDOMETER ON 2003 YUKON FAILS. GMC WILL NOT STAND BEHIND IT EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A WEBSITE WWW.SPEEDOMETERSETTLEMENT.COM THAT GIVES VAGUE DETAILS. WAS TOLD BY GM THAT MILEAGE TOO GREAT. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THEIR SPEEDOMETERS AS EVIDENCED BY THE WEB SITE. *TR

LEFT TURN SIGNAL: WHEN SIGNALING LEFT, THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS (ARROWS) ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY BOTH ARROWS (LEFT AND RIGHT) AS THOUGH THE HAZARD BUTTON HAS BEEN USED. TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED IT WAS THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH AT MY EXPENSE (301.23 PLUS 42.50 TO DIAGNOSE). TEN MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD FOR A LANE CHANGE TO THE LEFT, I SIGNALED AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED (BOTH ARROWS FLASHING). I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE CARS AROUND ME SEE IN REGARDS TO MY LIGHTS. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE DEALER. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT REGISTERING, AND WHEN (THE GAUGE) IS TRYING TO OPERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHILE ACCELERATING AND THE GAUGE DOES THE SAME AS WELL AS THE GAS GAUGE. I KNOW ALL MY DASHBOARD GAUGES NEED TO BE CHECKED FOR MALFUNCTION. THIS BEGAN TWO WEEKS AGO, I CALLED DOUG HENRY OF FARMVILLE TO CHECK MY VEHICLE FOR RECALLS, ONLY TO FIND OUT IT IS NOT LISTED. MY HUSBAND HAS A 2003 GMC YUKON XL, HE RECEIVED A LETTER DESCRIBING THIS PROBLEM AND GOT INFORMATION TO GET IT FIXED FREE OF CHARGE. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I BELIEVE THERE ARE OTHER VEHICLES AFFECTED IN THIS PARTICULAR RECALL. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STARTED SLOWLY DECREASING WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. IT FINALLY GOT TO ZERO AND QUIT WORKING FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. IT DID THIS SPORADICALLY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS - SOMETIMES IT DECREASES, SOMETIMES IT INCREASES. NOW THE SPEEDOMETER, WHEN IT WORKS, USUALLY SHOWS 70 MPH OR HIGHER. IT REGISTERS A SPEED WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR NOT. ALL THE OTHER GAUGES SEEM TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY. WE NOW MONITOR OUR SPEED BY THE TACHOMETER. WE HAVE NOT GOTTEN AN ESTIMATE ON REPAIR HOPING GM WILL ISSUE A RECALL. *JB

I OWN A 2003 GMC YUKON AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. MEANING THE SPEEDOMETER ALONG WITH THE BATTERY GAUGE. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T.

IT STARTED THIS FALL MAYBE CLOSER TO WINTER. BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDO STUCK AT ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A GLITCH BUT WHEN IT HAPPENED MORE AND MORE NOW I KNOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM. THE SAFETY ISSUE IS THERE ARE OTHERS OUT THERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING A CERTIAN MPH AND YOUR REALLY NOT SOME MIGHT GET FRUSTRATED WITH OTHERS EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY BE IN THE WRONG. I CAN JUST SEE ALL THE ROAD RAGE HAPPENING BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY ARE GOIND 70 AND THEY ARE REALLY GOING 80 OR MORE. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING MY TACHOMETER BUT I DONT KNOW WHAT OTHERS ARE DOING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. BECAUSE I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT WILL COST 600+ TO FIX. HOW MANY OF THOSE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ARE GOING TO SPEND THAT KIND OF MONEY TO FIX A SPEEDOMETER?
