2004 GMC YUKON XL Electrical System Problems

CLUSTER DASHBOARD FAILS TO LIGHT UP WHEN THE KEY TURNS ON THE VEHICLE. NONE IS THE DASHBOARD INDICATORS MOVE OR LIGHT UP, NOT ABLE TO SEE SPEED, MILES, GAS GAGE, ETC. IT TAKES 40 MINUTE INTO A DRIVE BEFORE IT TURNS ON RANDOMLY.

MY 2004 YUKON HAS AT LEAST THREE MAJOR LEAKS IN THE BRAKE LINES CAUSED BY CORROSION. RESEARCH FOUND THAT THIS DEFECT WAS IDENTIFIED SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLES WERE SOLD NEW BUT REFUSED TO ISSUE RECALLS. I WAS IN A NEAR ACCIDENT WHEN MY BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR SUDDENLY. ALSO THE STABILIZER SYSTEM FAILS WITHOUT NOTICE AND THE DASH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (GAS GAUGE, TEMP GAUGE, VOLTAGE AND OIL PRESSURE GAUGES WORKS ON AND OFF.

THE SPEEDOMETER WILL WORK SOMETIMES BUT MOST OF TIME IT WONT. ALSO THE OTHER GAUGES IN DASH BOARD WILL QUIT WORKING. THE PERIOD OF TIME OF IT NOT WORKING HAS STEADILY INCREASE. IT HAS CAUSED BOTH MY HUSBAND TICKETS OR WARNINGS BECAUSE IT DOES NOT WORK. THE OTHER GAUGES ( THE OIL, TEMP AND RPM )ARE UNRELIABLE. I CHECKED WITH A MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THIS IS COMMON FOR THE MODEL I HAVE. TO REPAIR THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE DASHBOARD. *TR

WHEN I START THE VEHICLE AND GO TO THE CORNER STORE TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, COME OUT OF STORE TO RESTART VEHICLE IT WILL NOT START IT MAY TAKE ME 10 MINUTES TO 4 HOURS TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. MEANING I HAVE BEEN STRANDED AT GROCERY STORES, WORK, SCHOOL FUNCTIONS. ATTEMPTING TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN I AM CONSTANTLY TURNING THE SWITCH. AT THIS PRESENT TIME I HAVE NOT DROVE MY TRUCK IN ALMOST 5 MONTHS. AND I HAVE BEEN MAKING TRUCK PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I CAN'T DRIVE.... AT THIS TIME NOT SURE IF IT IS IGNITION SWITCH OR PASS LOCK I KNOW BOTH PARTS SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE IT IS A DEFAULT FROM THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

REDUCED POWER INDICATOR ON INFORMATION CENTER COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN IT DOES, VEHICLES GOES INTO DEFAULT MODE & CAN GO MAX 30 MPH (VERY DANGEROUS, WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED). NEVER KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT HAPPEN. YOU CAN PULL OVER SHUT ENGINE OFF SIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE & IT WILL START UP & RUN FINE UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE REDUCED POWER LIGHT COMES ON. HAVE HAD IT @ SEVERAL SHOPS & REPLACED THROTTLE SENSOR, TRACED WIRES, REPLACED GROUNDS, INSPECTED HARNESS BUT DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP. I SEE ON THE ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS THERE IS A LOT OF PROBLEMS THAT GM CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A FIX FOR. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 GMC YUKON XL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS INACCURATE SPEEDS. WHILE IDLING, THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ 40 MPH OR JUMP FROM 40 MPH TO 100 MPH. THE ONLY NEW EQUIPMENT WAS THE REAR BUMPER, WHICH WAS REPLACED IN 2006. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN A RECALL. HOWEVER, THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE FOR FREE DUE TO THE MILEAGE. THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WAS THE ONLY INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURES. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI HAS STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER. IT STAYS PEGGED AT 110MPH. IT NEVER WORKS CORRECTLY. *TR

IT IS FUNNY WE HAVE HAD TWO GMC YUKON XL IN OUR FAMILY AND THE SPEEDODIMETER HAS STOP WORKING IN BOTH. THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THESES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RECALL AND WHY NOT? IT SEEMS FROM WHAT WE WERE TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE CARS JUST GO OUT OF WARRANTY.

WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEEDOMETER ON MY 2004 GMC YUKON XL DENALI FAILS. IT WILL EITHER READ 0 - 5, OR 70-100. I CAN'T TELL HOW FAST/SLOW I AM GOING. WHEN CALLING THE DEALER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND WILL COST $500 - 700!!! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND AFTER RESEARCHING, HAVE FOUND OUT THAT MANY, MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS... PLEASE FORCE A RECALL? I CAN'T AFFORD THIS REPAIR, NOR DO I THINK ANY OF US SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART FROM THE MANUFACTURER...*NM

ON ARRIVAL FROM 80-MILE TRIP, WE PARKED VEHICLE AND TURNED-OFF IGNITION. UPON ALIGHTING FROM VEHICLE, WE DETECTED A BURNING ODOR. INSPECTION REVEALED SMOKE RELEASED THROUGH FRONT GRILLE. RELEASE OF HOOD ALLOWED SMOKE TO BILLOW-OUT. FLAMES EMERGED IMMEDIATELY, SPREADING QUICKLY FROM ENGINE BAY REARWARD, ENGULFING ENTIRE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS DESTROYED, ALONG WITH OTHER VEHICLE PARKED ALONGSIDE. FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED TO IMMEDIATE CALL FOR HELP AND EXTINGUISHED ALL FIRES WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF CALL. *NM

EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY 2004 YUKON XL IN DEC. 2003 THE STABILITY TRAC SYSTEM HAS BEEN DISABLED. THE DIGITAL READ OUT JUST BLINKS DISABLED. MY LOCAL DEALERS KEEP TELLING ME THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CAN'T GIVE ME ANY ANSWERS. YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD KNOW SOMETHING BY NOW. THE REASON I PURCHASED THE YUKON WITH THE STABILI-TRAC WAS FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY TO BUY THE VEHCILE AND NOW FEEL CHEATED DUE TO NOT HAVING WHAT I REALLY PURCAHSED THE YUKON FOR.*AK
